Had an early dinner there. Ordered bread board to start. Advertised with whipped garlic butter but just normal butter and no variety in bread all just sliced baguette. Had a nice crunch though and olive oil was a high quality. Main I had the bacon loins. Delicious marinade but the bacon itself was so salty it was borderline inedible. Only good sauce and very well cooked chips saved this plate. Would expect better for the price. Service was good although was never checked to see how food was
We have been coming to this place for nearly two years. We found it very convenient for stopping over so we can visit family and friends in the area. We got to know the staff and Manager of this once excellent place extremely well.... However, due to this last visit we, and I'm sure many others, will not be returning..... It seems there has been a disastrous change of management. There is no atmosphere, the food is know where near as good and the once excellent service, apart from one member of staff, Rosie, has now all but gone..... Asked to meet up with the new manager to get to know him, Rosie said he would be ten minutes, after eating food and finishing, no manager appeared, and they were not busy, so wont bother in future..... What were upper management thinking?? The last straw was the room. We always book the same room, and its always been clean etc. Not this time.... To pay £130, for one night with no breakfast and poor service, a room with poor heating and no one to help, broken light fittings, windows that refused to close etc etc is simply, in this industry, suicide for the continuing success of this once great venue. So, find somewhere else to stay, as we, sadly, will have to from now on...
Excellent location staff are very friendly polite and professional good choice of drinks very reasonably priced and plenty of places to sit inside and out, lovely garden especially on a sunny day. The rooms are lovely, very clean, large comfortable bed and lovely bathroom and plenty of clean towels. I would highly recommend this place and definitely going back.
Very smart looking pub with six bedrooms. Appears to have had a major makeover a few years ago and now looks to more aligned to dining than drinking. Staff were friendly & helpful and beverages were good. Would return for dining but would probably go elsewhere if just drinking. Just my personal preference.
Nice place right in the centre of Harpenden. The room was spacious & the bathroom really big for a room. Needs a bit of TLC on the walls like touching up paint wise. Lots of noise as right next to the road but the pub was nice & you access the rooms by a separate door next to the pub as you have a fob to come & go. Nice place, only £99 , so really can’t complain.
