Website

Reopened at the beginning of February 2019 as an O'Neills. 3 handpumps, but currently (July 2022) only one in use, the décor has been stripped back to the brickwork with various advertising material, particularly for Guinness and Meantime, adorning the place.

Large pub located right next to Watford Junction and the adjacent bus station. Convenient for train travellers, post-work groups and those on business looking for pub grub and a pint. The pub has a live music room.

Historic Interest

The upstairs rooms were used as Benskin's Brewery offices in the 1980s after the resurrection of the brand name. A Firkin brewery operated at the back left of the ground floor.
