The White Lion, St. Albans

This pub really comes into its own in the Summer months due to the large garden with children's facilities and a petanqe piste (I think that's the official term). Plenty of room inside with various seating areas, newspapers available and a dartboard. They pay a lot of attention to their real ales and there are generally 5 or 6 on at any one time that change regularly. There's an interesting old Watneys Red Barrel pump on the bar that looks as if it now dispenses lager. This pub has improved over the last year or so and is well worth a visit if in the area.
