Previously a Wetherspoons establishment, the pub opened in its current guise and with its new name in March 2024, but retains a similar feel. An L-shaped half-panelled bar and alcoves provide a comfortable environment, and photographs adorning the walls celebrate the history of Borehamwood including its film industry heritage. At the front of the building there is a limited outside drinking and smoking area. Quiz on Mondays. UPDATE AUGUST 2025: Food is currently not being served at the pub but customers are invited to order meals for delivery from local takeaways and crockery and cutlery can be provided.
