An unpretentious boozer on Abbots Langley High Street whose name is commonly thought to refer to a soldier�s return from the Great War; and a great deal of memorabilia from this war adorns the walls of the pub. However, the publican told me that the name actually arose from a time when choirboys from St Lawrence Church opposite would visit the sweet shop at the front of the pub and then nip to the back for a pint. The pub once had a small public bar at the front, but has now been opened out into an unusually narrow single bar. Darts, dominoes and cribbage are all played and there is occasional live music.
