Load of Hay, Loads of Value. A great gem of a local pub. The Load of Hay in Watford offers traddional pub food, and at great value for money. £7 for a home cooked lasagne. Local brought produce supporting local busines. Mark, Dave and Mike have really put the local back in the local pub. Well done guys !!!
One of my favourites. Local, friendly, excellent home cooked and made by the chef himself. Excellent service, but be prepared to wait as it's a small cosy and extreamy popular. Good roasts to salmon, pie, and the pavaolva is a must. Access difficult to impossible for wheelchair users.
Visited whilst visiting family as its one of their regular places. Was amazing service made to feel super welcome. Food was delicious! Will definitely return if and when back in the area!
In a landscape of chain pubs and identikit eateries the Load of Hay was a pleasant surprise. The Sunday roast (order your beef medium rare if you want medium) was tasty, great value, and came with a solid selection of vegetables. And £15 for a bottle of Malbec was very reasonable too. Would go again next time I’m in Watford.
Awesome little place. Very kind owners. The attention to detail in here is awesome. Keep in mind my visit was during the day. Im pretty sure the night time atmosphere would be just as good
Lovely Sunday lunch with my niece's Emma. Had the lamb which was lovely. Friendly staff in a friendly local pub.
Visited last Sunday for lunch with friends food was delicious and great service will go again & highly recommend
Very local, nice little beer garden with plant hanging around make it nice and cosy on summer eves, the bartender was welcoming, beer selection is nice and reasonably priced.
A great pub! Friendly staff and filled with wonderful characters!
Known for its LGBT friendly environment, I've had some great nights out and had the pleasure of performing there aswell.
The experiences I've had at the load of hay have been very friendly. I would recommend this pub to anyone open minded and looking for a friendly cosy pub to enjoy a drink and a chat.
We just had the most amazing home cooked Sunday roast ! We went for lovely dog walk and ended it the lovey load of hay . Such friendly and helpful bar staff too
Lovely welcome, lovely food and a great experience
This is a brilliant little pub with a really friendly atmosphere. They also put on live music .I went there with the wife for the first time the other week and they had live music, the guy singing was brilliant! The bar staff were polite and very friendly. This is a small but welcoming little pub and I would go back.
Finally we got round to trying the Pizza served at this small pub and was completely blown away! The pizza was outstanding and made with real passion and love. We had the fungi a pepperoni with some dips for the crust which was the best dough I have ever tasted in the UK! Get down to the land of hay for Vincenzo's pizza!
Just popped in for a pint after a walk and there was a band on so stayed and had a few more and really enjoyed it felt very welcoming and comfortable in my walking gear.
Nice pub, good prices on drinks, attentive bar staff, fairly good prices on drinks
Brilliant night, great music by The Tease. Hope they will be back again soon.
Sceptical when I walked in and wasn't expecting much to be brutally honest. I was wrong. Lovely staff and freshly prepared good honest pub food. Really enjoyed it and would recommend not to judge this book by its cover. A great local boozer and highly recommended by me and 3 fellow diners. Check it out
With regards to Mr Stones comment I had a Sunday roast at the load of hay last Sunday and as before the food was of and excellent standard. Piping hot and just the right sized portion. This is definitely the best roast dinner you can get. The staff and even the local drinkers are extremely friendly. A visit is a big must but you’re advised to book as they do get very busy.
