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.

Conversion

Grade II-listed C16 and C17 barns that have been moved from their original sites. Converted into a Wetherspoon's, which has done a good job integrating pub use into the space with four drinking areas. Their work has brought spectacular Grade II-listed buildings back to life. A range of ales and ciders, and meals are served.
