The Best Pub in Hemel Hampstead!
The beer is a bit expensive but overall it’s a good place !
A lovely local pub set next to the moor in Hemel Hempstead overlooking the cricket pitch. Boxmoor is a nice area of this town and the beautiful open space and classic pub setting add to the charm. Landlady a bit of a battle axe but you kind of have to be to run a pub. Was told off at the bar for speaking with a friend animatedly - perhaps we were being too loud? But I didn’t think so, lol. Either way she is harmless if you don’t cross her and runs a well oiled machine. Nice pub garden and surprisingly spacious. Available to hire the raised back room for events.
Always a pleasure meeting friends here for a pint in the rear terraced garden, a right suntrap. Staff are helpful and attentive, the food is good and varied.
Absolutely incredible Food/Service/experience 5 STAR!!!!!
We booked a Sunday roast for our Moms Birthday. She specifically ask for pub roast and man oh man we were blown away! The friendly staff made us feel just at home, warm, cozy atmosphere! And when the food came we just about fell off our chairs… big portions (which are rare in this country) and every element was cooked to perfection! Oh we’l he back that’s for sure! Damn good meal!!🤩
Great pub, great staff great events. Minor but important point for myself is that it would be appreciated if some good vegetarian food options appeared on the menu.
Best Sunday Roast ever!! I had the lamb roast. Portion was big! Better than a homemade roast. The potatoes were crispy, the gravy was amazing and there was more than enough served! The lamb was cooked to perfection. And to top it all off the staff were super friendly.
Lovely pub, nice and friendly and food was fab. Can't ask for more.
Nice pub, staff are lovely, food wasn't bad at all.
Lovely pub, with a great selection of beers and the food is incredible
What a gem of a place, lovely welcome from bar staff and food in the beer garden was superb. Great service and beer garden is a sun trap
I popped in to the steam coach for a bite to eat while I was working away. Although I can't really complain, the barmaid was friendly and efficient, the food did what I wanted it to (refuel after a days work) but I feel when the fish pie was first made and cooked it was probably a solid 8/10 but when it was reheated you could tell it was reheated, overcooked fish and prawns and not much seasoning in the mash topping. Although the meal was a 6.5/10 I would actually go back to try something else - everyone has an off day! Looking at the other clientele I think the food would normally please. All men, locals and youngsters that feel the need to wear a baseball cap with a hoodie hood over the top while indoors! But who am I to judge.
Great food and atmosphere, staff are really friendly
Friendly staff, classic pub. Not eaten here so can't advise on food. But if you're looking for a pub to meet friends and have a good night, I'd recommend.
Very welcoming and friendly staff. Food was excellent and the early bird menu is very good value. Ham egg and chips for under 8 quid. 3 very thick slices of ham, egg just right and the chips were some of the best I have ever had crisp on the outside fluffy inside. My wife had chilli concarne which she said tasted home made and very tasty. The cheesy garlic bread was divine. I would recommend this very friendly and welcoming pub and the menu to anyone.

I now live abroad & I'd not been back to the UK since 2015. It was a food pit stop after skiing with friends & their youngsters.... the owners and staff were VERY accommodating and, even though it was quite late in the evening, adapted the menu for the children. A very homely feel to the pub.... Food choice was so great it actually took me a long time to choose what I wanted.... and I wasn't disappointed.... THOROUGHLY ENJOYED!!! 🤗
Great service and great food. Special treat for myself and sons girlfriends birthdays. Good food in nice surroundings what more could we ask for. Staff were very professional and eager to help even though they were run of their feet.
