Ivory, Hitchin

Good venue for watching football, but as others have said a bit more expensive for booze (well you have to pay for those 'free' table-snacks/dorito's somehow!).

Had an experience which makes me think this pub is a little bit up it's own behind.

If you wear a hoodie, watch out for a stupid policy in this pub. Went to watch the football the other day and as was cold was wearing a hooded top below my jacket. Upon entering, was asked by bar staff whether I minded tucking in my hood, or removing my top. Said I didn't, but asked why? Was told 'it's our policy'. Suggested they might like to put up signs to this effect... (perhaps I should have suggested they distribute free copies of the Sun / Daily Mail with their free bar snacks) Anyway, promptly put my top back on after noticing at least 4 others in the pub still wearing their hoodies.
