1st time with my old Mate Steve Pleece. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good šŗ š» selection. Friendly publican, and his wife and the staff. A proper traditional Friendly local Pub. Something that is missing in this day and age.
Update review Jun2023: in the weekdays, the pub offers a range of pizzas. The pizzas are delicious, with a flavour reminiscent of an American-style tomato base, with strong sweet and salt flavours. Beyond the food, the pub continues to serve its regular three real ales and now offers at least three different gins and a modest wine selection (the pinot noir is very strongly flavoured with peppery overtones). The garden is part-patio and part-false-grass, where the patio is fully covered by a marquee. The views westbound into the setting sun remain fanastic as ever. Additional review Jan2020: previous landlord retired, new landlords settling down nicely, and they have now launched their food service. Sunday lunch was good value and nicely cooked, full of flavour. Sunday lunch served between 12pm to 5pm; pub was packed throughout the mid-afternoon service. Original review Jun2017: Been a semi regular for nearly a decade. Great real ales, a good line of ciders and the occasional perry, a careful selection of whiskey (inc single malts). Great "front room" environment. This is a proper locals' pub. Current landlord and family have run the pub for years. Food offering is modest, great value pub grub, always very well cooked and presented. Sun-trap beer patio.
Excellent food, perfect well-kept beer served from the barrel, friendly welcome, warm ambience. One of our favourite Hertfordshire pubs. Recommended.
It was a Sunday and we were out for a walk with friends and decided to get lunch before the walk home. Basically we stumbled upon the Green Man pub in Sandridge, nr StAlbans. We had always known it was there but had never ventured inside. But we are so glad we did. Thereās a lovely area out the back where you like out over fields and cows grazing. Is was Sunday and they had a bbq. We had burgers and hotdogs with a couple of portions of chips on the side. The food was cooked and served beautifully. Also so 3 delicious caske ales to try.
A really āhonestā local, proper pub! Iām not a local, rather an occasional visitor, but nevertheless Iām instantly at home with the friendly service and village banter. Good selection of well kept ales and excellent food. Competitions, quiz nights etc are essential for maintaining the community feel - and this place does a great job in doing this. EDIT: Maybe this is the first review/update since the refurbishment and new Landlords! Love the refurbishment - sympathetically done to retain a ālocalsā feel; lovely new seating, carpet and fresh paintwork. Lovely conservatory and rear garden too. Same great real ales - most served straight from the barrel in the cellar! Opening up the bar, adding a glass door to the cellar and clear glass at the entrance lets in light and gives a feeling of more space. Good job - and the new Landlords were very welcoming! FURTHER EDIT: Had Sunday Roast for the first time here today - good quality, well cooked and good portion size. Shall do this again!

Come and spend some time in a beautiful 400 year old village pub in Sandridge, just on the outskirts of St Albans - on the doorstep of the beautiful, and rapidly growing, Heartwood Forest.
