"We booked in advance for a party of 8 adults and 2 small children. The service was friendly and attentive. The food however was very poor. We ordered 5 roasts all of which turned up luke warm or cold. The vegetables were very measly. I'm not one for large portions, I much prefer quality over quantity but 1 small carrot, a table spoon of cauliflower cheese and 1 small roast potato is ridiculous. We informed the waiter the food was cold and it was taken away to be warmed. 20 minutes later and we were still waiting at which point I approached the bar to ask for the manager and was informed he was in the cellar and would be up to speak to us. Another almost 10 minutes passed and finally the manager arrived to discuss. The food just arrived as we were pointing out the issues. The food was warm, not hot but by this point it was almost one and a half hours since we had ordered. The beef was poor to average, the dish under seasoned. The leeks were undercooked and the gravy watery. Even though the manager did offer a discount I would rather have good quality and pay for it. The only silver lining was the pinot noir was surprisingly decent."

I only called in for a drink. It isn't the cheapest pub in the town.

Beautiful ambiance, however, the waitress lacked personality and did not provide any customer service or interaction. It felt like she could have been a robot.

This is a great pub with a good selection of drinks. It is crowded and noisy, which creates a lively atmosphere that is perfect for a Friday night. Overall, the experience was excellent.

Absolutely lovely location for a nice quiet drink during the day. Great prices. Great social events weekly and a lovely service from staff. Staff member called Kieran is on point. Great going guys. You've made a repeat customer here.

Best roast in.harpenden. It never disappoints. The cuts of beef are soft and has flavour. The veg the the York pud all amazing and they even have cranberry sauce. Not everyone does. After a late Saturday night this is the perfect pick me up!. With a tropical pale ale it's great

Enjoyed the Easter weekend here with friends and had the Sunday roast which was amazing. However the glasses were all filthy this is the only reason not giving 5 stars. Food quality was awesome, quantity all happy with but we all felt the dishwasher or bar girls could have done a better job than standing around.

This pub made me and my partner feel uncomfortable. He arrived before me and ordered himself and I a drink, but to be told he would not be served both drinks as they needed to see my ID. We are both 25. This left him awkwardly waiting for me to arrive before being served, even though he had his own ID! I think its strange to think a 25 year old would be with anyone under the age of 18 firstly, although I so understand needing to ID customers who look young but it just wasn’t a warm welcome to be immediately ID’d at the bar when it was a Sunday evening and dead quiet! The lagers are extremely expensive too.

We were four adults and two young children, and we went for a Sunday Roast at 3pm. The pub was really busy with drinkers and diners of all ages, nevertheless, our reserved table was ready for us. Our waitress was a young lady called Hayley. She proved to be excellent, being patient, caring, knowledgeable and happy to make dish suggestions for the children. We ordered a various roast dinners, the children making their own selections from the Kids Menu. The food was great, the wine we ordered was terrific, and the atmosphere in the pub was very friendly and jolly. We thought that the bill was very fair, and hence we shall definitely be return at some future date.

"Yammin-Yummy says. ... 5 stars ... also a rarely awarded- 'beezybonus'. . . now, where do I begin to begin with such an amazingly appealing selection of freshly prepared foods that one would naturally expect that, already cooked, sitting, waiting for the next hungry expected customers. this can sometimes cook up to 10-20-50mins before they are placed in front of them. not here. freshly cooked. now this beautiful example of a traditional 'fish chip love affair, established over generations of Friday nights, was beautifully designed to tell their mouth, tonge taste panties, please attach their belts, and then it is about them an incredible arbor ride. ... one who seems to go up just as once they decided what's going in their mouth first (at least the crispy tail end) begins their incredible journey up; as their eyebrows increase during thinking, omg that 's sooo different good, light, crispy teig as I've never tasted in my 37 years since the beginning in the food industry. And then I made the mistake of dipping my squid in the homemade tartaric acid sauce. that is when the 1st massive fear happened, as I thought, oh my days; the better then mean, re-entry, deeper, actually cure my wrist action, to ensure maximum absorption of this sweet/creamy/tart/caper filled taste, as I reached for a chip to accompany, strengthen the excellent experience I thought stupid would be a 'standard thing'. Now I took care of you like this, but I have seen on my chips a few each mouthful was an experience, depending on how I stacked the fork, hahahaha. the fish was so fresh that I was looking on my teller sand. ... to dedicate a joy to each chip. ... the muddy heaps, normally warmed, not microshaft to a mass-hotter-then-the-sun, went a tasty bite, and quickly also, for once. the lemon shattered haddock had to be tied to the plate, because this teig was so light that it almost raised to the deck. but as soon as this handmade tasty tartaric acid sauce meets, any responsible 'handler-of-the-fork', wants to make sure that its only trajectory can be swallowed in their waiting swallow. It was so good, I couldn't stand to leave a single diesel and with this tartaric acid sauce, which even made a bulky chip, was nothing left, I was ashamed to ask the cook the recipe for 'this sauce', as he made such a light oil-free beautiful teig. the staff is very attentive, courteous, with a beautiful large sitting area also. get yourself here quickly bungalows to make an ordinary experience, in an excellent exciting eating expedition into a court that we all know so well, but so different. ... enjoy."
