The Green Man, Royston

Very decent one bar pub on the Market Hill one way system at the end of Royston High Street. The bar area is directly in front of you as you walk in from the street, and as well as the usually fizzy lagers and cold Guinness there are three handpumps, which were dispensing Adnams Best, Youngs Ordinary and a real cider at the time of my visit. The pub is mainly wooden floored, with a traditional public area to the left supporting a pool table and a couple of fruit machines. Then a seating area off to the right, where there is also a smaller raised carpeted lounge section. The pub regularly has local cover bands playing on Saturday nights, at which time the raised lounge area becomes the stage, and the right hand side of the pub is cleared of seating to make way for the crowd. Then out back there is a courtyard area with seating to accommodate the smokers . The beers are usually well kept here and the Saturdays when a band is playing are usually lively affairs.
