Snug Bar, Hertford

About us

We managed to get a hefty bank loan, which we said would be used for a nice family car, and found our first Snug in Cambridge. It was incredibly difficult and the working hours were ridiculous, but within the first year we had made it a success and started work on the second bar in Hertford. Since then our Snug family has grown and we have over 100 fantastic local team members working with us, passionate about making sure our guests have a great time. The Snug brand is forever expanding, and our most recent opening was Snug Number nine in Bury St Edmunds. The question on everybody's lips is where will we be opening next...?

To this day our values remain the same; friendly, local and fun. We really appreciate you choosing to spend your time with us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!.

Superb. Snuck in a packet of digestive biscuits and an out of date M&S cheeseboard. Bought a couple of bottles of red . Had a fantastic one man party. Also really like this place because people tend to leave you alone.

We popped in here on a whim, because we'd been meaning to try it (mainly just to say we had!) and we saw it was open. We weren't expecting much - we feared £18 wouldn't go very far with a charcuterie board. I'm happy to say we were pleasantly surprised! We got a slab of delicious cheeses, meats and accompaniments (which were generously proportioned), with a wide variety of breads and crackers, and the wines were delicious. The mood of the place was quiet yet refined and welcoming. The manager Leyla was friendly and provided excellent service. Well worth a try - We'll definitely be back soon!

I had a lovely evening in here. Note: the cheeseboard is enough for two sharing and comes with plenty of crackers. Tip: Isle of White blue cheese is superb.

I went to this place just after it refurbed and opened as “Vintage” cheese and wine bar. We were really excited to go, but our experience was utterly disappointing. The venue was so cold that I kept my coat on throughout the entire time there. Two of the cheeses ordered they did not have, and the waiter was not able to recommend a suitable alternative, nor suggest a suitable wine. The shared platter arrived missing chutneys (taking a further 20 minutes to arrive) and only 4 very small slices of cheese in total for the 4 of us to share - really the waiter should have suggested we order more. When we ordered wine following our cocktails, the first 2 wines selected were out of stock and it took a full 30mins from ordering for the wine to arrive. It was not a busy night and only 10days after opening so to not be in stock with cheese and wine is bizarre. Finally, the toilets were grim - ancient brown stained bowls. Surely if you are refurbing and rebranding a good deep clean should be on the to do list. I contacted the Vintage team to say I was disappointed and would like to give them feedback rather than a public review, but heard nothing. Poor actual service in the venue, and poor follow up customer service. Won’t be going back in light of the other excellent cocktail/tapas/wine/oyster places that have opened up recently.

Love this place. Foods really good along with service from staff. Nice atmosphere in evenings. I recommend the Chicken Wings (with Frank's Hot Sauce of course) and the burgers are great too.
