Built in 1934 in art deco style by the architect E.B. Musman for Benskins Brewery. The exterior, featuring a flat roof and rounded corners with wraparound metal windows. The relief over the central window is by the highly regarded sculptor and painter Eric Kennington. The interior is largely unaltered and many art-deco features remain. Recently purchased and sympathetically restored by McMullen & Son. Warm and comfortable atmosphere. Operates as a McMullen's Chicken & Grill concept.

Asset of Community Value

Classic Art Deco brick pub designed by E. B. Musman for Benskin's Watford brewery and built in 1936. (The similarly styled but larger Comet at Hatfield is much altered inside). The public bar on the left still retains its L-shaped layout, windowsills which bulge out to form tables, two marble-slab fireplaces but the bar counter has been reduced in size and looks modern, also the bar back fitting is new. The present lounge / dining room was formerly two rooms - a saloon bar with private bar behind and has some modern Art Deco-style fittings from a refit in 2010 and an original marble-slab fireplace.
