A curious little pub in Berkhamsted…read more Held back by the size of the bar it scores well when the sun is out as you can sit by the Grand Union canal watching the boats go by. So in that way a great pub crawl pub - the type to stop off for one or two. Serves normal range of ales, lagers and fruity drinks.

I grew up in Berkhamsted and had frequented this pub a few times before I moved to Germany and…read morebefore the craft beer scene really set in. it was always an enjoyable experience and the pub itself is cosy and warm. However, on my recent trip back home to Berkhamsted, a quick Sunday night trip to this pub really stood out for being great. We headed out for a quick drink after a day travelling from wales and back. we get to the bar and there is a group of regulars sat at the bar so we order some beer on draft and go and take a seat, and play some of the quiz machine (for those interested we won 10 quid on battleships 2 off a 50p investment, a great start to the evening). We decide to grab another beer and this time the bar is a bit clearer, leaving us view to a huge selection of canned craft beers, I was in heaven. The barman was very friendly and tried as best as he could with the beers, was hard as they have no beer menu, so had to pick out beers based on labels. They also have a beer and cider from local breweries brewed especially for them. The cost of the beer is very competitive based on the town. its around 3 pounds for draft and the cans are 4 pounds each. The interior of the pub is nicely decorated and cosy. There is large amounts of seating outside under cover from rain., Outside you are located right on the canal and on summer its common to see people sat on the grass by the canal or on the lock enjoying their drinks. The locals are extremely nice (atleast when we were there), however on Friday/saturday the pub gets very busy and given the smallish bar can take a while to get served. They also have a quiz nights on Thursdays I was told, although sure if that's every Thursday. Definitely worth a visit if your in Berkhamsted.

The initial welcome was warm and friendly so we were off to a good start. However there was a limited range of drinks and my drinks ordered via the app arrived seriously short of a full measure, I polite asked the waitress to top it up. My drink then disappeared for about 15 minutes before I had to chase it up. We were unable to order a second drink via the app only a out of stock notification. Shortly after that, to add insult to injury we were told at 10:15 that last order had passed and it was time for everyone to go, basically an hour and a quarter early! None of this was clear from the website and why allow a 2 hour booking if they don't intend to serve. What would have happened if we had made a reservation for 10 or 10:30. Sadly, I will not be returning.

It has a nice garden area and a lovely private walled courtyard where the mill pond empties and you can watch the ducks. The staff are exellent - young and with real personalities. It is the sort of place a woman could go into on her own and the staff would make her feel at ease. The bar is well stocked with several local ales. The food is lovely - not cheap but very good quality. The duck is lovely (hopefully not a companion of the ones outside!). There is a private dining room which holds around 15 - 20, great for a night out when things may get a bit noisy! The staff will come and take your drink orders. Highly recommended.
