Description: Family run local, established in 1840. The public bar adjoins a cosy snug with wooden settles, bookshelves and often a fireside cat. A south facing patio is inviting in fair weather. Bill, the landlord is untied and offerd two rotating beers alongside the Tribute. His homemade steak pie is a favourite on the menu, available Mon- Sat. evenings and weekend lunchtimes. This gem is hidden away in the old town and is well worth seeking out.

Description: Last in a terrace of 17th century cottages at the top of Langley Hill. Bought by the local brewer John Edward Groome in 1857, it now shows a Victorian frontage which previously had a blacksmith's shop attached. The Doy Family have been earlier landlords of the Old Palace. George Doy kept the pub from 1912 - 1930 and his son, George Junior, from 1938 - 1952. The pub is now owned by John van Til. A most welcoming atmosphere accommodating people from all walks of life make it a popular place in the village. The beautiful beer garden, occasional BBQ's, music events and the newly refurbished restaurant offers superb food to add to the Old Palace's attraction.

Description: The current building dates back to 1924 but the site of the public house has been a source of hospitality for both locals and visitors since the 17th Century. Its first reference to being a beer house was in 1850 when it was known as the Plumbers Arms. By 1896 it was owned by Frederick Quincey Lane who owned Lane Nurseries close by and was a watering hole for the workforce. It changed ownership several times from then and was also known as the Red Lion before being named after the local landmark.

OS Ref: TL190126
Description: Becoming a Free House in 2023, this is a fine old fashioned family run country pub, dating back to 1932, in a peaceful rural setting: it has a good sized garden and a petanque piste. Inside the walls and ceilings are festooned with china plates and jugs etc. Darts played here.
The pub is named after the Baptist preacher and author of The Pilgrim's Progress. (b. 1628; d. 1688). He is believed to have stayed at a house nearby on his travels - the remains of which are just a few yards from the pub. There's a
good competitively priced menu and a roaring fire in winter; each day there is a specials board featuring dishes distinctively prepared by the landlady. Newly added Gluten free menu. The pub also welcomes walkers; if for example you arrange to start your walk at the pub, the landlord will allow you to use the facilities and take your food order; if you then call him 10 minutes before you arrive back, he will ensure your food is ready and waiting. Friendly and well-behaved dogs are very welcome in both the pub and the garden.
NOTE: From May to the end of September the pub opens all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Description: Closed in January 2022 however, following a campaign by the Parish Council the pub was refurbished and re-opened in July 2022. Real ale sadly removed and the rear garden is in a state of neglect. Punch intended to sell the car park and land at the rear of the pub for development. The pub has two entrances to the car park so development is possible. The Council have submitted an application for the pub to be listed as an Asset of Community Value

Description: Good-value food is available at lunchtimes in the bistro but it's as an after-work watering hole that Harry's comes into its own. Very popular with business types and sports fans, The atmosphere is good-natured but somehow the clock in here stopped circa 1985, a feeling reinforced by the endless 80s music retro programmes on the TV above the bar.

OS Ref: TL150024
Description: A Beefeater in an old watermill on the River Ver, with close links to the Premier Inn next door. While the first floor is dedicated to restaurant tables, the ground floor features three separate bar areas where drinks, snacks and light meals can be enjoyed. Although the building last operated as a mill in 1916, the watermill is still functional, and is encased for viewing within the building - an impressive sight. Set up for typical Beefeater fayre, all Premier Inn meals are also taken in the mill restaurant. Outside there are pleasant gardens alongside the river, a pond populated by geese and ducks, and a children's playground, making the pub popular with young families. Despite being very nearby, the M25 motorway is well screened and surprisingly unintrusive.



Rural Pub
Historic Interest: There are historical links for the mill dating back to 1086, but it was rebuilt in 1762, which is when the current Grade II-listed building dates back to. It closed as a working mill in 1916 and was used as a home for many years until it was converted into a pub in 1992. Originally operated by Regent Inns, the site was acquired by Whitbread in 1998, remodelled inside, rebranded as a Beefeater, and a Travel Inn budget motel was built next door (since modernised and rebranded as a Premier Inn). The water wheel is still in operation and many of the old internal workings remain intact and on display within the pub. The building narrowly escaped demolition when a stretch of the M25 motorway was constructed very nearby in the 1980s.

Description: An unpretentious boozer on Abbots Langley High Street whose name is commonly thought to refer to a soldier�s return from the Great War; and a great deal of memorabilia from this war adorns the walls of the pub. However, the publican told me that the name actually arose from a time when choirboys from St Lawrence Church opposite would visit the sweet shop at the front of the pub and then nip to the back for a pint. The pub once had a small public bar at the front, but has now been opened out into an unusually narrow single bar. Darts, dominoes and cribbage are all played and there is occasional live music.

    Manor House

Description: This grade II listed, former town house dates from the early 18th century with the western side added in the late 19th century. The former decorative iron railings at the front were removed during World War II. Royston Manor House was the name adopted in October 1948 for what later became known as The Manor House Club. This Wetherspoon pub thrives with character and personality with local art pieces adding to its characteristics.


Historic Interest: This early 18th century Grade II* listed building was the home of the Manor House Social Club from 1948 until bought by JD Wetherspoon in 2013. It was bought from the Phillips brewery family, who owned it prior to 1948 as part of the Royston Brewery estate.

OS Ref: TQ065982
Description: Now closed, having reopened 2 February 2009, the Clarendon had undergone a major refurbishment - and not just the loss of its "Arms". Refurbishment is actually a bit of an understatement as it seems to have been almost totally rebuilt. The pub looks a bit like a private house when you approach it from the junction of Fir Tree Hill with Rousebarn Lane. After trying the front door you'll find the entrance is at the side, and inside you will find decor of a very contemporary kind, with a distinct British theme; very different indeed from its original style. There is a small bar room, where modern paintings of British style icons adorn the walls, but much of the ground floor has tables set for diners. Food is very much to the fore here, as can be seen from the website, but drinkers are accommodated. More of a restaurant with a bar than a pub. Walkers are also welcome.
The Clarendon closed for business on 14th October 2013, its website and notices on the windows simply announced "Closed - we are no longer trading as a restaurant".

Description: The Dumb Bell is an attractive country pub between Chalfont St. Peter and Maple Cross. The pub has two traditional barrooms at the front; and the rear of the pub has been converted into a restaurant that specialises in traditional English food, often bought from the neighbouring farm. Game is available in the restaurant at times, all locally shot. Despite the restaurant conversion the cosy front bars retain their pub feel and the pub has a large number of regular customers, no doubt retained by the many regular events, including curry nights, knockout darts tournaments and prize draws. The restaurant area is available for hire as a function room. There are various theme nights and also a hog roast in the summer.

Description: Regular live music venue. Good to see a music venue selling real ales. There are three regular beers and a guest ale that changes every six weeks or so. The main nights for gigs are on Thursdays and Saturdays, but there is live music of some form every day. The music on Thursdays and Saturdays is usually from covers or tribute bands, but quite a few well known names play as well. To pay for the bands there is a variable entry charge on Thursday nights (depending on who's playing) and a 30p levy on drinks on Saturday nights. Entrance is free on other nights, when the music includes showcases for local bands, open mic nights, karaoke and disco. A guide to upcoming gigs at the pub is published on www.lemonrock.com, and you can keep up with events by following the Twitter account @hornswatford. Food is served most lunchtimes and families are welcome, but children must leave by 9pm. Sunday lunch is accompanied by live trad jazz from the Northside Jazz Band.

There are three distinct drinking areas within the pub and food is available throughout, although the rear of the pub is quieter. A patio can be found outside the back of the pub which serves as the modern day smoking area. Recent Wetherspoons' policy means that the pub is a rare outlet for real cider in the area. Weston's Old Rosie is available at all times, with a changing range of other ciders. The only dogs allowed are guide dogs.

OS Ref: TL219069
Description: Formerly known as The Harrier and before that The Hilltop, owners McMullen opted for a "does what it says on the tin" approach with their latest rebrand, naming it The Hatfield Tap. While the refurb is clearly aimed at attracting more students from the nearby University of Hertfordshire, the pub remains a friendly community local with something for all age groups.
Pool, darts, shuffleboard and a variety of board games are available, while major sporting fixtures are shown on a giant TV screen. Regular quiz and bingo nights are held along with occasional live music events.
Food (including burgers, chicken wings and sharing platters) is served throughout the day. On the drinks front, an array of cocktails and the like is complemented for more traditional tastes by McMullen's usual range of ales.

Historic Interest: Originally called the Hilltop, then subsequently for several years known as the Harrier, this pub has been operated by McMullen's Brewery of Hertford since it opened in 1959. With an exterior look very much of its post-war time, it was designed by Lionel Gordon Baliol Brett, later 4th Viscount Esher, as part of the New Town development of Hatfield. Inside it has undergone refurbishment, most recently in 2022 when it was renamed the Hatfield Tap. A more detailed history of the pub and some wonderful images of its past can be found here: https://boakandbailey.com/2018/11/hilltop-a-new-venture-in-public-houses-1959/

OS Ref: TL143073
Description: Re-opened in December 2022 following a period of closure and with a slightly revised name, The Verulam has benefitted from a sympathetic refurbishment which brings out the best of the pub's character. The pub's garden has also been improved. The large, L-shaped bar now stocks up to five cask ales, as well as traditional ciders on handpull and an extensive selection of craft keg beers. Good quality food is also available including Sunday roasts. Unusually, background music is provided via an old-fashioned record player spinning vinyl discs on the back bar. The pub's position makes it an ideal focal point to explore the Abbey and grounds, including the quaint warren of streets, river, Roman ruins and mill of nearby St Michaels and Verulamium Park.

    Rifle Volunteer - Oxhey

OS Ref: TQ121952
Description: The Rifle Volunteer is located in the heart of Oxhey Village and is one of the oldest pubs in the locality, having been built as a beerhouse by Clutterbuck's Brewery of Stanmore when the area was developed in the late 1850s. The pub eventually came to be owned by Courage, whose livery can still be seen outside. The interior looks like it has been altered over the years and is now a single, light open-plan room. Sports are popular at the pub, which has its own Sunday football team and golf society, as well as men's and ladies' darts teams. Pool and poker are also popular, the latter being played on Thursday nights, and the pub also holds regular charity quiz nights. Smokers can use the patio seating outside, which has umbrellas for wet weather. Technically there's no disabled access because there are steps up to the main entrance, but wheelchairs can be taken through a side door on Lower Paddock Road that isn't normally used. Dogs are welcome as long as they're kept under control. Food is provided by The Village Kitchen. There is a curry night every Thursday, a pizza night every Friday, roasts every Sunday and a pie night on the first Thursday of the month.

OS Ref: TQ040987
Description: Picture postcard pub located in a peaceful location opposite Holy Cross Church and very close to the scenic Chess Valley. The pub has been greatly extended over the years. Most notably the old barn next door has been converted into a restaurant with low beams and doorways (hence the Duck or Grouse sign over the adjoining passageway). The original settlement of Sarratt was in this area before, as local legend has it, it moved down the road to Sarratt Green to escape the plague brought in on the river Chess. A secret tunnel is said to run between the pub and the church, its purpose unknown. Amongst the pub's amenities are a sunny patio out front with a view of the church, and a large garden with picnic seating and a playground at the back.

Description: Originally bought as a former stables and wheelwright's shop for the princely sum of £375, the name has been with McMullen since 1898, although the current pub was built in 1971 on the other side of the road from the original. A 'proper' local pub right at the heart of the community - there was a significant refurbishment in 2017. The Wheelwrights offers good hearty pub food. The garden has a recently installed safe childrens' play area and good weather brings a bouncy castle. There is a pub quiz every Wednesday evening. June 2021: McMullens confirm they have sold the pub - very unlikely to re-open.

Description: 15th Century pub devastated by fire in Feb 1990. Totally rebuilt to the original design and winner of a CAMRA/English Heritage rebuild award. The story goes that Catholic priests hiding from Henry VIII's guards during the Dissolution of the Monasteries would take refuge up the chimney of the huge inglenook fireplace that sits at the heart of the building. Today winter months see huge logs burning in that historic hearth, offers visitors its own form of welcome refuge from the outside world! South facing garden, enclosed children's play area, patio and heated terrace come to life in the summer months.

Description: Large, family-friendly community local offering a wide selection of good value pub food. The interior is divided into a number of different areas, featuring a mixture of comfy bar seating and tables for dining. The pub also boasts a garden area and large car park, plus good disabled access and facilities. The pub hosts regular events including a Monday evening quiz and Wednesday evening open mic. A 10% discount on cask ales is available for card-carrying CAMRA members.

Historic Interest: Following various other developments nearby, London brewer Whitbread received a public house licence to serve the Oaklands area in 1948. It chose a unique name among English pubs: the Bunch of Cherries, after the cherry orchard which was behind the plot and lined Winches Farm Drive. However, building licences were not available in 1948, which prompted Whitbread to purchase a pair of timber building site huts, which were remodelled into two inter-connected bars albeit with a proper cellar having been excavated first. The current building was erected behind the temporary pub in 1963 (on what was originally its car park) and the huts were removed for further use as local Scout headquarters huts. In 2005, the pub was sold to Suffolk brewer Greene King which, following a refurbishment, rebranded the pub The Speckled Hen - a name with no particular local connotations.

OS Ref: TQ043992
Description: Located set back from the main road through Sarratt, the Cricketers has a traditional exterior but a large, tastefully modernised interior with plenty of dark wood and comfy armchairs. There is a cricketing theme to some of the decoration; most notably the pub sign and the memorabilia adorning the walls, although this has been pared down following a recent reþfurbishment. The pub has an interesting menu, which has traditional pub 'classics' with a gastro spin, as well as more 'restauranty' fare. Despite a keen emphasis on food the current management are serious about their ale too, with a range of guest ales from regional and microbrewers. There's free wireless too, if you fancy tapping away on your laptop. Details of real ales on offer are clearly displayed on a blackboard in the bar.

Description: Licensed since the early 1800s, this much extended former Whitbread pub once fronted the Great North Road (A1) and the 14th hole from the nearby Welwyn Garden City golf course provided a hatchway to the rear.

The pub has a good reputation for food and booking is advisable, there are ladies' lunches on Wednesdays and fish features on a Friday. There are two gardens (one children free). Convenient stopping off place for walkers to the nearby Brocket Hall estate or Sherrardspark Wood. Restaurant not re-opening before 17 May. Bar food available.

Description: Large and lively community local in a traditional saloon bar style. With a friendly welcome, several TV screens, pool table, dart board, juke box and fruit machines, this is very much an old-style drinkers' pub and is particularly popular with tradesmen at the end of the working day. Children are welcome until 7pm and the pub often has a more family atmosphere on Sunday afternoons when a meat raffle is held. The building is Edwardian with a later extension and internally it is decorated with photographs of old St Albans. There is a small patio at the rear for outdoor drinking in warmer weather. Located next to a large Morrisons supermarket, the pub is handy for a quick pint while waiting for a bus from the well-served stop just outside.

Historic Interest: The pub's unique name is thought to derive from a turnpike toll house which stood on the site and fell into rat-infested disrepair in the late 19th century. Briefly renamed the "Castle" in the 1960s by its then owner Ind Coope, the pub name was restored after a campaign by locals.

OS Ref: TL148038
Description: Traditional, family-friendly village pub situated on the old Roman Watling Street. The "O.D.", as it is known by locals, features a split level bar with beams, brass and a listed fireplace. Adorning the walls are a range of sporting photographs. Meals are served daily with food prepared from locally sourced produce. Poker is played Tuesday evenings. There is a sizeable garden with children's play equipment and a pool table in the newly-built annex.

Historic Interest: First mentioned in documents of 1689 as White Horse Farm, it is believed that a public house has operated on this site since 1787. Having gone through many owners over the course of its long history, by the early 1990s the White Horse (as it was known at the time) had ended up part of the Whitbread empire. When a change in the law forced the UK's big brewers to dispose of many pubs, this one was purchased by its then tenants. The pub name was changed to the Overdraught as a humorous reference to the money they had to borrow to acquire it. Since then, the pub has gone on to change hands several more times but the "new" name has been retained.
