Friendly, welcoming community local with a diverse clientele. The attractive interior of the pub, decorated with old mirrors, pub signs and other breweriana, is complemented by an impressive and recently-enlarged covered garden. Oakham Citra, Nethergate Suffolk County and four ever-changing guest ales are always available, usually including at least one darker beer style. About 8 ever-changing traditional ciders and perries are also on offer, as well as a selection of unusual bottled foreign beers. Live music is performed early evening on Sundays, and occasionally on other days of the week. Look out for the separate Window Bar open for special events and on Sundays when the music is outside.

Two beer festivals and a 50-strong cider and perry festival are held annually. The pub is a previous winner of South Herts CAMRA's branch Pub of the Year award and regular winner of its Cider Pub of the Year award. Try the pies!
