Circa 1838, the pub was lovingly restored in 2016 with lots of photo's and historical prints in the range of larger and smaller adjoining rooms, each with classic furniture and decoration. Lots of different and smaller rooms in which to enjoy their varied menu or just a drink. Large garden which goes down to the river Ver. Large bar as well as separate seating areas for diners. There is a varied menu and if you want a meal the staff do try to keep tables free for walk-ins. No need to order a meal, feel free to just order a drink and enjoy the wide range of beers including one from a Herts brewer. In addition there is a changing traditional cider, often from CAMRA's approved list of real ciders and a wide range of spirits and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
