ReviewThe epitome of a good village pub and I'd imagine it is considered the best pub in London Colney. Two distinct bars have been retained, the main public bar and a smaller saloon/snug to the left of the property. The main bar has a juke box, Sky TV, fruit & quiz machines and a room with a pool table and dartboard leading off it. The saloon bar has some nice old photos of the pub and an attractive collection of miniature bottles in a lit display cabinet. There are some tables outside on a raised patio within some well kept gardens. They advertise special jazz, quiz, curry and bingo nights and have occasional live music. Food is served noon to 3pm midweek and until 6pm on Saturdays. Beers were GK IPA, Pride and Black Sheep, the latter in excellent condition and served in branded glasses. Interestingly it was also drawn using a sparkler whereas the others weren't. The toilets were clean and the whole pub has a nice lived-in community feel to it. I don't normally give 9/10 to a pub with such a mainstream selection of beers but this pub does so many things right that it deserves it.
