ReviewA Free House I believe and well deserving of it’s GBG entry. There are 8 hand pumps, 6 of which were working when I visited on a Monday lunchtime. Some interesting beers and I had the Brains Merlin’s Oak and Rebellion Freefall. There is a What’s On board with details of brewery, strength and price, plus a Coming Soon board. Nicely decorated with old advertising posters, beer clips and a large collection of old bottled beers. It’s not a pub you would just happen across, you’d need to know it was there. It’s a bit out of the way in a rural setting but has a reasonable catchment area of residents nearby. If going by public transport the number S7 bus from St Albans ends and starts it’s journey just up the road from the pub. Buses are every hour midweek (no Sunday service) so just enough time for two or three pints before catching the next one back. Do check out opening times though as they close in the afternoon. Midweek times were shown as 11am - 2.30pm and 6pm - 11pm. Food is served 12 ‘til 2. A pub well worth a visit.
