We had lovely freshly cooked pub food and the staff were very nice, friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere, not a loud drinking pub. The food was all freshly made, tasty, good portions, like someone would cook at home. We'll be back soon

Banging roast high quality ingredients. We went for the beef roasts and I can honestly say its the best roast beef in Hitchin. Melt in the mouth. The veg was inventive and delicious and the gravy rich and full of flavour. The entire team were super friendly and accommodating even to our 2 year old. Relaxed atmosphere and service was very quick considering we visited in the middle of a Sunday lunch. Highly recommend

Cycled down from London with a friend with Highlander as a destination on the basis of a countryside jaunt and a lovely food reward after a long pedal - it didn’t disappoint. Wonderful starter with figs from the pubs own garden, and a risotto cooked fresh that was sublime. The wines are also not the usual and very interesting, and importantly delicious;the one we went for “like drinking rain on a sunny day” Chardonnay was just that - not like any Chardonnay I’ve had (and avoided in the past). A good trip out for the food and wonderful welcoming hospitality that also was memorable. Will return - when the legs recover.

Really superb service - the young lady serving couldn't have been more helpful. Good real ale. The food was well done, from a fairly small selection (I definitely prefer this to a huge menu where most of the options must be frozen or something) and nicely presented. Thanks! Well worth the 5 minutes walk from Hitchin town centre.

Inside: one of the coziest, warmest, and most welcoming pubs in town, which is certainly saying something as Hitchin has set the bar quite high for welcoming pubs. Outside: An equally warm and cozy garden, with ample seating and a chill countryside atmosphere. While this was my first time here, the staff made me feel like a regular from the moment I stepped through the door.

Had a nice afternoon drink with the family. Helpful, friendly staff with a lovely outdoor surrounding. Hot water bottles and cozy seat covers kept the cold out whilst a decent pilsner quenched my thirst.
