Horse & Groom, Hatfield

Decent old inn, with quite a plain white-washed terraced façade but a pleasantly traditional - albeit opened-out - interior with several seating areas and the compact bar counter. Plenty of interesting black & white photographs on the walls. Basic patio beer garden to the rear. Good choice of real ales from the six handpumps, including Haresfoot All-rounder (£3.20) and offerings from the likes of Tring. Well worth seeking out.
