Red Lion, Water End

You couldn't really call this a pub, more of a restaurant and with bar area. The bar area is cosy in winter, and they have a good selection of wines on offer. Food tends to be nice, but specials tend to be repeated quite a bit. Deserts are amazing!

The Alford Arms, Frithsden

Great food and atmosphere at this pub, we go regularly.
Staff are friendly and you are welcomed enthusiastically for drinks or for food. Only haven't given a 10 in my review because it's not really large enough for it's popularity and often hard to park - as it isn't close to any form of public transport you really do need to drive to get there.

The Old Chequers, Gaddesden Row

The Old Chequers has just changed hands and as a local resident I am thrilled. For far too long the pub has served substandard food and more recently no bar area so you didn't feel you could just go for a drink, or have a drink in the bar before dinner.
They now have Peroni on the pumps and a selection of more interesting ciders, standards of cleanliness have also improved.
We just had starters last night rather than a full meal, but can already note a change for the better. This pub seems likely to challenge local rivals of The Red Lion at Water End, and in time perhaps even the Alford Arms, which in the past was unthinkable.
