The best pub for beer in the town and my favourite for range and quality of ales. Absolutely superb. Wouldn’t go for the décor or necessarily the food but as an old authentic pub serving a wide range of excellent beers and ales it can’t be beaten.

Pretty average pub/bar really and the Guiness is only average at best. I have never eaten there and something about the place tells me I should not. BUT they do have live music on Wednesdays which redeems it a lot in my opinion as live music seems to be so rare in pubs nowadays. So go on a Wednesday and you can support the noble cause of live music in pubs with your presence.

My favourite pub in Hitchin town centre and, in my opinion, an absolute gem situated on Bancroft, the main road that runs through town. The range of beers, ciders and real-ales sold is very impressive and many of the beers are locally made in the Stotfold brewery. They have plenty of guest beers too and sell a range of ‘country’ wines made from fruits and berries. It’s got the feel of a ‘real ale’ pub about it but the clientelle is very mixed — a range of ages and a mix of locals and regulars. The bar staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive and the service is very good. There’s a small function room upstairs which we’ve hired out for family events and is an excellent venue. They have live music and quiz nights and it can get quite crowded at times — seating is a little limited as it’s only small — but it’s a pub well worth seeking out.
