The Prince George, Watford

When I first knew this pub it had the magnificent name of The Leviathan with an impressive pub sign to match. It then got sold to some philistines who took down the signage, replaced it with a tacky banner and renamed it Champions. Clearly they had no idea how to run a pub and it went down hill quickly. A new guv’nor arrived called John who instilled a bit of discipline, and a lot of professionalism, adding a couple of hand pumps along the way. He has now left but the pub continues to flourish and has recently been taken over by a young couple who are doing well. They serve a decent pint, with Hobgoblin and Spitfire being the regulars, and it’s a good place to watch sports or have a game of pool.
