    Fancy a brief refuel? Arrive about 3pm in the afternoon, choose a seat near the window and chill out with a nice glass of wine. People watching outside.

    A really lovely spacious gastro pub in St Albans. Very friendly and well mannered staff. Also a varied menu where every choice would be divine!

    Nice pub with big patio beer garden. Shame that it is a McMullen pub but if you are lucky they stock Hertford Castle Pale Ale which is the only decent beer that they make.

    Impressive looking former hotel. Generally food orientated. Over 21s only.

    Great spot that serves Erdinger on tap - always a winner. Live music on a Thursday night. Watch the level of the beer - it can sometimes be a little lower than it should.

    The Sunday roast pork is fabulous!! Crackling, really... crackly, and the pork is tender. Love it.

    The rear garden is a real sun trap, an absolute must for a lazy afternoon with friends and a pint

    Good for a drink, especially in the afternoon/early evening. Loud later on. Food is fine but better dining elsewhere.

    The steak sandwich here is rubbish. Thin stringy steak and only accompanied by caramelised onions. Avoid.
