Since going vegan, I'd only gone back once and had beans on toast and felt the options were limited. My sister suggested going there for lunch and I initially said no before deciding to check if they'd changed their menu. To my surprise they had added a vegan fish and chips -- which was well-priced and simple, but did the job and I'll definitely be back again. Quick service too, missed a couple things off our order but was quickly rectified. Has a real family pub vibe. Recommend for a catch-up with friends or an affordable meal out with family. Only issue I found is it could be a lot cleaner - floors were covered in food but fortunately we weren't eating on the floor!

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

More hungry they have a full menu and my better half rave over the Liver and bacon, whilst I prefer the steak (juicy). Very nice staff and whilst they don't remeber my name (don't get out without the kids much) more importantly they do remember what I drink, what more do you need from your bar staff!! PLEASE NOTE, this is not a place to take the kids, this is a place to go if you are lucky enough to escape from them for a couple of hours. Fancy a flutter they run a poker night on a Thursday

Firstly, I have had to create a new, anonymous account to write this review as the patrons and…read moremanager of this establishment threatened me. This is a homophobic pub with a some nasty regulars and a hostile manager (Darryl). Until tonight, I loved Molly Malones. It was my favourite pub in Hitchin. I attended a few times a month watch live sport. I met some lovely people, especially around the pool table. I went tonight to watch the PSG vs Chelsea game, and ended up playing poker with a couple of lovely guys, and the manager, Darryl, who turned out to be not so lovely. After the football, whislt I was at the bar, another patron shouted out 'Chelsea Nonce'. This is an offensive homophobic slur when connected to football, as evidenced by the conviction of Joey Barton who repeatedly used it on social media. I politely but firmly told the guy that was not okay. He got aggresive and told me to 'F' off. He then said it again. I reitereated that his language wasn't okay, and said I'd call the police if he said it again. He said it again. I dialled 999. At this point the manager (Darryl) asked me to leave the pub and took my drink away (I had just bought him a pint). He said he was removing me from the premises 'for my own safety'. The police attended. The said that 'nonce' was not a slur. I advised them to educate themselves, They were rude and dismissive. Darryl appeared at the door, grinning, and invited the officers into the pub. They left within 2 minutes, and reported on their radio that no offence had been comiited. I got their badge numbers and names and have made a complaint to Hertfordshire police. The police officers advised me that if I was now unwelcome in the pub, if I didn't move on and a complaint by the manager was made, I would be moved on by them forcefully. This is NOT an LGBTQ friendly pub. It's NOT a friendly pub at all under it's current management. Have a look at the other poor reviews for this pub and how the manager responds. J

Molly Malones is my local pub and I love it. It's a proper pub in my opinion and, as the name…read moresuggests, run on a bit of an Irish theme. It's situated on Nightingale road a little out of the centre of town but is well worth seeking out. The staff are very friendly, the beer is good and the whole atmosphere of the place is great. They show the footie when it's on and have live bands from time to time plus events such as party night on Halloween and New Year etc. It's not a particularly big place so it can get a little crowded at peak times. There's a little courtyard out the back for smokers but you couldn't really call it a beer garden. Parking can be problematic around here but there are soem free parking slots across the road next door to the petrol station. Go on - give Molly's a go - you'll come back again

Our night started off standing round the bar getting some drinks to get the night started. Bartenders were friendly and quick. It started off a bit rough as we made a reservation for 15 and then had a couple of late additions or some kind of miscommunication on numbers and they didn't have enough seats at the table for us. It all worked out in the end but this pub was absolutely packed! I had the Bangers & Mash as it had been on my list while in England. It was soooo good! Absolutely loved it here. It had pork sausages on buttered mashed potatoes, rich gravy & caramelised onions for £7.95. Following dinner, had some more drinks and just overall were served well while here.

I think the chef has no idea what they're doing because the meat was obviously burned. At £25.50 it was extremely disappointing. I informed the manager who was actually quite rude, essentially suggesting that's how it's prepared. If that's the case then it probably explains why the establishment had very few customers on a Friday night. The food was disgusting and the manager was aggressive and obviously has no customer service training. Although they took the item off the bill, I would avoid this place. Just don't go. You will regret it. There are much better options in Milton Keynes where you don't have to subject yourself to an aggressive manager and food burned to a crisp. I'lol be reaching out to the Council so they can do a hygiene inspection. Something is not right here when it comes to food safety obviously.

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.
