These two characterful 16th and 17th century timber barns were dismantled and transported to St Albans from elsewhere in Hertfordshire in the early and middle 20th century, joined together and then for many years run as tea-rooms. Converted into a JD Wetherspoon pub by in 2005, the timber construction is largely exposed to view and there are several drinking areas and a wide range of cask ales on offer. Food is available all day with early morning breakfasts.

Historic Interest

16th century and 17th century barns brought to St. Albans from Wheathampstead, originally run as tea-rooms before being converted into a Wetherspoon's Lloyds No.1.
