This characterful 16th-century pub is located in the attractive St Michael's area of St Albans. About 1km from the city centre and Abbey, it sits on the edge of Verulamium Park, close to the Verulamium Museum and the Roman Theatre. Three regular beers, including at least one from Hertfordshire, plus three changing guests, often provided by the Vale brewery. Real cider is also regularly available on hand-pull during the summer months. Good quality home-cooked food is served lunchtimes and evenings and themed food evenings are run on Thursdays once or twice a month. Outside there is a pleasant covered patio area. Famously dog friendly.
