Landlord Tony has been running Harpenden's smallest pub since 2006, offering five cask ales including two changing guests. Popular with all sections of society, and their dogs, the cosy interior is comfortably furnished, with an open fire warming the bar in colder weather. The spacious, secluded patio is a sun-trap in the summer months. BT Sports and terrestrial TV sport is shown with international rugby union especially popular; live music is hosted occasionally.

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