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.

Apparently it used to be called the Cock, but the bird flew up to the church's weathervane leaving just its feathers behind. The new owners are putting a greater emphasis on food than before, but drinkers are welcome.

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 agood 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: 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.

Description: Large, lively and welcoming community local in a traditional saloon bar style - re-opened in 2025 after a brief closure, a significant refurbishment and a change of name. With several TV screens, a pool table (which is free on Mondays), dart boards, juke box and fruit machines, this is one of few pubs left in St Albans that focus on the drinker and shun the food trade. The building is Edwardian with a later extension and internally it is decorated stylishly including many photographs of old St Albans. There is a small patio at the rear for outdoor drinking in warmer weather, complete with an exterior TV screen for sports matches. The pub is keen to stress its dog-friendliness and resident dog Ted has his own Instagram account! 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. Two real ales are typically available and there is a loyalty card scheme meaning every sixth pint purchased is free.
Historic Interest: The pub first opened in 1927, before which Fleetville was a dry district. Its original name, The Rats Castle, derived from a turnpike toll house which stood on the site and fell into rat-infested disrepair in the late 19th century leading to this and the area around it being nicknamed "Rats Castle". When this was cleared and the pub was built, it assumed the name. Castle Road which runs behind the pub is so called for similar reasons.
The pub was briefly rebranded as simply the "Castle" in the 1980s by its then owner Ind Coope, but the original name was restored after a campaign by locals. This battle was finally lost in 2025 however when subsequent owner Heineken refurbished the pub and re-opened it as the "Old Toll House". A more detailed pub history can be found at https://www.stalbansowneastend.org.uk.

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.

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: 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.

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: 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.

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.

The current building dates from 1935 and the old Lord Nelson sign remains on display - but otherwise the pub has been significantly modernised and features contemporary decor. Sadly, the traditional public bar was removed as part of a refurbishment a few years ago, reinforcing the pub owners' determination to focus on diners over drinkers. Large garden.

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.

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. A selection of board games are available for customers.

The name "Khoi Khoi" celebrates existence of one of the oldest tribes on earth. The Khoi Khoi people. Although not much has been mentioned about them; they still maintain their traditional flamboyant bushman way of life, they live a simple life of sharing everything from nature, they sing, dance and hence their lives are totaly nomadic. Their life and traditions alone tell an incredible story of perseverance, determination and discipline.

Description: Friendly and long-established CIU-affiliated social club serving a part of St Albans with few other cask ale options. A warm welcome awaits card-carrying CAMRA members who can use the bar facilities as guests. Other visitors are also welcome (just ring the bell) but will pay the slightly higher non-member prices at the bar. A large function room, complete with a stage, complements a more intimate public bar-style room at the front of the building. Entertainment provisions include a pool table, several dart boards and juke box, while major sporting events are shown on a giant screen. Regular bingo sessions and quizzes are held, including a popular music quiz - see facebook.com/bensmusicquiz for details. The Royston Club has featured in the Good Beer Guide regularly in recent years and it has been awarded South Herts CAMRA's Club of the Year award on multiple occasions.
Historic Interest: Situated in College Road, the club was established in 1936 as the College Club. Following a licensing issue in 1952, it was re-launched with a new identity, taking the name "Royston" from another nearby street. In the 2000s the club experienced financial difficulties and came close to closure, but was successfully rescued and turned around by a team led by local estate agent Barrie Lloyd. Barrie remains the club's long-serving Secretary, and received a CAMRA/Club Mirror national recognition award for his work in 2024.

Description: This pub was originally a coaching inn established in 1749 and is located on what was once one of the main routes from London. The interior has been much altered over the years (part of the lounge being located over what was originally a well) but retains a two bar format, the bars having very much a ‘public’ and ‘lounge’ feel. Traditional pub food, including locally sourced sausages, is available throughout. The pub has a large garden that is used for barbeques and other events during the summer. Dogs are allowed in the public bar only.

Description: Situated adjacent to the Odyssey cinema, this independent Grade II-listed pub reopened in 2015 after significant renovation and now has a modern interior feel plus a large and pleasant garden which includes a new heated pergola. The pub stocks a rotating range of cask beers and strives to include at least one Hertfordshire ale - discount is available for CAMRA members. A minimum of two traditional ciders are also stocked. The pub is well known for its good quality menu of British classic dishes and Sunday roasts. It hosts bi-monthly brewery tap take overs and occasional restaurant pop-ups with speciality menus. A well-attended quiz is held every Tuesday, with a film specific quiz on the last Wednesday of each month in concert with the adjacent cinema. There is an annual Summer Beer Festival held on the first weekend of July and a Stout and Porter Festival every January.
Historic Interest: Originally the Alma, the pub changed its name due to the nearby (now closed but preserved) railway station on the old St Albans to Hatfield line. The pub underwent a major renovation in 2014/15 which included the removal of its old central semi-circular bar and installation of a relocated replacement at one end of the building.

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.

The one thing to remember, especially if you are on the 'taller side', is when the original building was built the average height of a given individual was rather shorter than it is today - so as the sign in the hallways says, 'Duck or Grouse'.

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/
