The Mill Stream, Hertford

Have visited this one on a couple of occasions in past months as it is nearby to the current abode of no1 son. It’s a bit tucked away and far enough away from the main centre of Hertford to maintain a back street local vibe and people who frequent here tend to be locals who know the pub. It’s unchanged from previous reviews and a comfortable friendly back street local that does good pub food is a very apt description for this one. It is a McMullens pub but what I like about this one is that it usually has a rotating guest ale alongside the two McMullen brews and for my most recent visit Rivertown Brewing Harlequin was on alongside the AK and Country from Mac’s.

A cosy out of town local, comfortably furnished and with a good food trade. Inside is a series of connected areas, with a half-timbered sort of decor. The large and attractive garden at the rear includes bookable 'sheds'. Still a McMullens pub with Solstice and AK on pump at time of visit.

A Mc Mullens tied house with a friendly welcome and a loyal band of regulars.The interior is quite small and carpeted throughout with lounge style furniture and a screen for occasional sports coverage ,but this does not distract from a convivial and welcoming atmosphere.Food is served,sandwiches around £4.50,main meals ranging from £7 to £12 but food doesnt dominate,this is a solid back street local in an affluent area.3 ales on my trip AK,Country and a very decent Cask Ale ,£2.80 and much better kept than at a lot of Macs pubs.This is one of their best outlets.
