Acquired by McMullen in 2007. Named after the phantom headless stallion, slain during the English civil war and which is said to haunt the adjacent road which leads to Woolmer Green. A fine Grade-II old timbered pub, much developed, with a contemporary make-over. There's is also an extensive gin bar. The pub has a superb garden with distant views at the rear, a pond attracting ducks, willows and an extensive grassed area with children's play equipment. The food menu includes fish Fridays and daily specials. Traditional roasts, served all days on Sundays, are very popular - booking ahead is strongly advised.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (A seasonal ale from the McMullen range.) and 2 regular beers.

The Charter Market Quarter has many historical links. One of the only free-standing medieval civic clock towers, the site of the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455, during the Wars of the Roses. Allegedly the Boot Inn played host to soldiers fighting in the battle. There used to be 23 pubs around the Market area!
The northern end of the Market is dominated by St. Peter’s church, one of the three churches originally built by the Saxon’s on the main pilgrim routes into St. Albans. Soak up the history and architecture of the area, as well as music history!
This area is packed with history and interesting pubs, some open, and some no longer with us.
