Historic oak-beamed, ivy-clad pub, situated next to the attractive village church on an ancient main thoroughfare that runs through the village. The pub is reasonably spacious, drinkers and diners are equally welcome and catered for. There is a large open fire in winter. Popular with horse riders plus classic car and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. To the rear is a beautiful large garden which includes a play area for children. Dogs are welcome.
This ivy covered 18th century pub has four rooms including a small original flagstone floor bar on the left with a genuinely old counter and brick fireplace. The room has been extended back with a modern flag floor on a lower level and new fittings The front door leads to a bar that has also seen changes and has a modern counter and opening to the right. What is now a hatch serving the small room on the right was the original door to this room, which retains old dado panelled walls with bench seating attached. The fourth room is on the left having been converted from a wood clad former function room.

The Charter Market Quarter has many historical links. One of the only free-standing medieval civic clock towers, the site of the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455, during the Wars of the Roses. Allegedly the Boot Inn played host to soldiers fighting in the battle. There used to be 23 pubs around the Market area!
The northern end of the Market is dominated by St. Peter’s church, one of the three churches originally built by the Saxon’s on the main pilgrim routes into St. Albans. Soak up the history and architecture of the area, as well as music history!
This area is packed with history and interesting pubs, some open, and some no longer with us.
