Fantastic roast had here on Sunday! Very generous portion size, super friendly staff and lovely venue! Will definitely visit again when back in St Albans!
A complete disregard and lack of tact/respect for customers personal experiences when staff were speaking out loud to each other across the bar whilst customers were respectfully waiting to be served. You may have noticed that there is an answer for every lower review on this site which may make sense of course. However, this review has nothing to do with the quality of food and drink. This is a staff respect to the public issue that needs to be improved and much more awareness of what they say out loud when serving the public especially when it is a personal subject/matter. If the response to this review is to ask what the subject or matter is then it will miss the point. Ultimately more tact and awareness would improve on the experience of this establishment.
One of the best pubs I've been to in England! They have amazing gluten free knowledge- including gluten free sunday roasts and yorkshire puddings! The service was extremely friendly and they were always trying to improve your experience. The outdoor seating area is lovely on a sunny day and they have umbrellas if it's too sunny. The food and drinks are also very well priced!
Decided to explore away from central St Albans and found a great locsl where Madge was a star. People knew her famous Dad Flat Eric. Had Harvey's Sussex best..lovely. Food looks good. Surprisingly large beer garden.
Very cosy place with good selection of drinks and food. Apparently chicken wing are pretty hot but very tasty. Sunday roast was great with but portion and staff was very friendly. Definitely coming back
