    Clean pub, very friendly and attentive staff, lovely food. Didn't have to wait too long for food. Good choice and a lot of attention paid to my gluten intolerance.

    Food was very good, perhaps a bit more vegan choices? Our waiter Matt was brilliant, very friendly and attentive. I couldn’t decide on my wine choice, so he bought both wines for me to try! Very nice touch, the wine was lovely. We had a very pleasant evening and wouldn’t hesitate to go back again.

    We enjoyed a roast dinner and dessert. Great quality food. Friendly and efficient staff. Nice and warm. Easy parking. The only slight negative was that it was a bit noisy next to a large group of diners until they left. Will definitely be back!

    Enjoyed a lovely freshly cooked meal in the conservatory area which was bright and warm. Food was excellent and all staff were helpful and attentive. Atmosphere was just right and food was cooked to perfection.

    Staff friendly and welcoming. Food ok. I had a burger which was fine, but I should have ordered a green salad to go with it. Friends all had venison cottage pie and although quite tasty felt there wasn’t enough meat.

    The best Sunday roast in Herts I reckon. The shoulder of lamb is always delicious and service from Fran is always lovely.

    Great pub. I’ve visited the pub a number of times and always felt relaxed and welcomed as soon as I walk through the door. The food and staff are great and I will definitely be back for another visit.
