Located at the top of the High Street near the station, and overlooking Harpenden common, this Victorian era former Railway Hotel has creatively zoned main drinking and dining areas with a secluded ground floor snug drinking area. Upstairs a more formal dining room also caters for private functions. Along with the Fuller’s family-owned range of beers, a guest beer from other breweries is also served. Live music is played on Fridays.
