My uncle and his young family lived near this pub during my teenage years, but I never darkened its doors in those days. I called in with my brother and his wife, and one of my daughters, after the funeral of my aunt in March 2019, but forgot to write up my notes. It was just a very quick visit, as I had to get back to Sheffield via a dash to the station after a swift beer here. It was a larger than expected three roomed pub, very busy on a Friday evening. There were two hand pumps on the bar in the lounge with Fullers London Pride and Gales HSB, but the beers were pulled from pumps in the sports room and brought through. According to my notes I had a pint of the HSB but no record of how much it was at that time, as it was my brother's round. I did note that the beers were in good condition and the atmosphere was friendly. (My daughter and I had to run from Euston to St Pancras when our train into London was six minutes late.)

Of all the pubs I visited in Boxmoor,this was my clear favourite.Tied to Fullers and set in a quiet residential road this "cottage" style pub has two distinct bars with their own entrances off the front door.To the left is the Sports Bar ,with a public bar feel,dart board,flat screen and an attractive tiled fireplace.To the right is the larger lounge,also with a working real fireplace,a collection of books in a library case and a back area with flat screen which in turn leads to the garden,where there is substantial wooden furniture.Both bars are served by an island bar.
There was a friendly greeting from the landlady and I enjoyed my HSB (£3.40),fruity and rich.The other options were Seafarer and London Pride.No sign of food,but that wasn't my aim anyway,it is popular with the local community and had a cosy atmosphere.There were interesting prints on the wall detailing the history of Boxmoor and ,although the interior is contemporary,the pub has retained an authentic air.Well worth the uphill 10 minute walk from the canal (and HH station),I would happily return if in the area of an evening.

Not having seen Mr Thompson's note that The Post Office Arms doesn't open until 2.30pm on weekdays, it wasn't open when we visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. A well kept, Victorian, back street local a glance through the windows revealed a cosy interior and Fullers Pride, Gales Seafarers and HSB on handpumps. I'll certainly return if in the area when it's open.
