Only went here for a drink, but lovely little pub. The garden was very well decorated, it felt warm and homey, perfect for a drink in the sunshine. The staff were friendly and polite, and they have a wide selection of beers, ciders, ales and soft drinks. I would definitely come back again to try the food as the menu looked delicious. Plus they had a lovely cider which I haven't seen before but may be a little sweet for some.

Clever Madge spotted this pub down a side street. A great Freehouse packed on Good Friday evening....inside and out. Amazed to find Harvey's Sussex Best..the beer I cut my teeth on. Just as the young underage drinker remembers. Absolutely Fabulous. St Albans is a great pub destination...this was not even on my list..and to give The Coup de Grace...there was an empty "reserved table"..Madge asked...free for next hour.( Always worth asking.). Yeah..visit this pub.

Very warm welcome by all the staff. Food was a little disappointing as some items were substituted and not mentioned beforehand. Also, our food was quite salty. Lovely quaint pub situated in the lovely St Albans and staff were so polite and courteous.

A classic Victorian, attractive corner pub. Hadn’t been here since it closed as ‘The Foragers’ but the decor appears to be relatively unchanged, which is a positive. Stripped back floors and fairly minimalist. Now has Beavertown Brewery’s trendy IPAs Gamma Ray and Neck Oil on draught, but I enjoyed a rather good pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord. Doesn’t appear to be quite as food-focused as it used to be, again a positive for me as it should appeal to more locals. Friendly staff and a nice environment.

Always a great spot! Accommodated us as walk ins. Great cool atmosphere and always busy! Great portions and food, beef ever so slightly chewy! Definitely would recommend!

Had a lovely meal here on a Friday night (April 2023), lovely atmosphere, lovely decor and very friendly landlady. Big selection of IPAs and lagers. Would highly recommend. And our dog was made to feel very welcome!

Popped in on spec and they managed to get 4 of us in for Sunday lunch just before 1pm. Great food, excellent service, really impressed our friends visiting from Czechia and the Netherlands who were eager for a British roast dinner before they left. We needed to be away promptly and they needed the table for a booking at 2pm, so we were all happy. I had meant to visit pre-refurbishment, but never had the time, so was delighted by the opportunity and it did not disappoint.

Small yet cosy pub with welcoming people. Have Budvar on tap(at the time of writing) which is a rare find. Didn’t have a chance to try food but I bet that’d be good too.

This pub is great! The new owner Charlotte is so nice and bubbly and couldn’t do enough. The staff are all lovely. The pub has a great vibe. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was the food while decent wasn’t amazing, but it was Mother’s Day and very busy. I will 100% go back.

Very tasty food and great customer service! Had the calamari and the lamb and chicken roast between the two of us. Was vey tender, and seasoned well. Only criticism id say would be that there werent all the usual trimming with a roast. Was sad to see no carrots or mint sauce or stuffing. And the calamari only had a few pieces,in it. Other than that it was vey tasty what we did get and the staff were lovely so they deserve 4stars!

Really nice range of cask ales and then found the “beer wall” with another 20 odd beers on tap 😋😋😋 Friendly, welcoming staff and a smart outdoor area - I decided to try it out as I remember Charlotte from The White Horse, Welwyn is now running The Veralum since reopening in December.

A fantastic pub a short walk off the busy high street of St Albans. Was greeted by friendly staff who were happy to help with anything we needed. The beer selection was superb, both keg and cask, and the food we ordered was also great. Definitely one of my favourite pubs in town.

Popped in for a drink for the first time since reopening on Sunday (15th Jan) with my partner and we both loved it so I returned today with my mum and grandma for some food at lunchtime. The man working was lovely and super friendly and welcome as soon as we arrived, an amazing selection of wine, craft beer/lagers and real ale on offer and we also had some food which was incredible! I went for the sausage and mash but my family’s choices of the vegan burger and pie and mash looked equally as tasty, they also have lighter lunch options of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, etc as well as their main meals menu. Will definitely be coming here regularly as it has all the elements of a great local pub! ❤️

Great pub. Has gone to an even better level since re-opening recently. Friendly staff, good food, and great selection of beers on tap. Nice atmosphere and cosy interior. Probably favourite pub in St Albans now!
