Refurbished in May 2015 and renamed as the Craft & Cleaver. The front of the bar is dedicated as a drinking area with eating areas on both sides of the bar. Specialising in smoked meat served in the evenings and all weekend from the smoker. To the rear is a large patio area with individual covered cubicles and outside seating providing further drinking and eating areas. No cask ale but stocks a changing and usually interesting range of "craft" keg beers.

Information for this venue is provided by the South Hertfordshire Branch of CAMRA
