The Radcliffe Arms, Hitchin

Bierex used to be Jamies Lounge Bar. Confusing pub this one - the address looking up the 'business address' on the internet is as per listed but in the picture No.132 which relates to Causewayside can be clearly seen. Put this to PG and believe it or not 132 Causewayside can also be found to be Bierex with a different postcode. Confused - yes as are the owners.

An excellent restaurant. Sure, it has a couple of good ales available and I'm all for that. But when you walk into the place and have a look around it is clearly not a pub. Still, being able to have a pint of excellent Buntingford beer (and I've seen some from Nethergate in there too) with an excellent quality meal counts for something. I've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at The Radcliffe (not all on the same day!) and loved every meal. But this website is *pubs* galore, so I'm not giving the Radcliffe a rating.

The Radcliffe Arms is a Victorian pub in Hitchin, on the corner of Walsworth and Verulam Road. It was built around 1855. The name is in honour of the Radcliffe family, who occupied the Priory Estate from 1548 and played an important part in the social and cultural development of the town. Thankfully saved from another residential development, the pub is now undergoing extensive refurbishment to bring it back to its former glory, celebrating all that's great about traditional Great British pubs; cracking food, the best real ales, beers and fine wines, all served up in an atmosphere that just cannot be matched. The Radcliffe Arms is an exciting new gastropub in Hitchin. Seating up to sixty in the restaurant and garden terrace.
