Madge found this good bar serving great real ale. Very small inside yet had a live band playing. Walked into a Byrds rendition of I feel a whole lot better. Pretty good cover. Large side beer garden on a slope, careful sitting down! Madge had a pint of Woodfordes Wherry from Norfolk. Good choice.
It was the only place that did food on Friday night and offering some beers. The new chief is makings a very good burgers and amazing dishes, could see them coming it from the kitchen. the atmosphere was a bit odd but otherwise is a good pub

Went here a lot when we lived in St Albans. This pub stays open longer than most other pubs in the area. Good selection of craft beers and they got live music on weekends.
Good band "Slaves"
I popped into the pub with some friends and had a lovely evening listening to the group and enjoying a drink
I love this place. They have a good beer selection included a real craft beers, and the staff is very friendly. They have a big patio, and they play good music too. I can recommend it.
We had a lovely time yesterday. Amazing food and even better service from Alton. Very charismatic and attentive. Will definitely be back. My little dog loved the extra fuss that was made of her too.
See my cousins band Missing the Ferry here n good drink here too
