The Speckled Hen, St Albans

Awful place. The management and staff obviously have issues with kids. On a recent visit with our two (very well behaved) children, aged nearly 3 and 7 months, we were blanked by all staff as we walked in, despite being the only people in the pub. We tried to sit at a table in the conservatory only to be told "that table is reserved" with no hint of niceness in the tone. We moved to another table, I enquired if there were any highchairs and was just told "no". Is it just me that thinks this is ridiculous in a pub of this size and location? it is a shame, as it is local to us, and we would have liked to make a regular occasion of family meals at the weekend. Idiots. Don't bother. There are plenty more nice pubs in St Albans that do much nicer food anyway.
