    Cosy!
    Bekki G.

    Really nice pub in the centre of St. Albans. It's very small will low ceilings, so don't expect a seat at busy times! The service is good and they show some sports on the tv. The food is great and there's a good selection of beers on offer. It's really well looked after and has lots of character. Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

    I love St Albans for having loads of nice pubs tucked away down nice suburban streets selling good…read morefood and great beer. This is a little pub with just that tag. A whole bunch of guest ales and ciders are available. The staff are great at serving customers. For those that like a quiet game on the sunday afternoon there are a selection of board games provided by the pub. Great place to pop in for a pint.

    The part of St Albans in which this pub is located is really spoilt for choice. I saw a couple of…read morereal ale pubs within a minutes walk of this one. I'm glad I picked this one though. 5 real ales on pump, including a couple I had never heard of before. I enjoyed an excellent pint of The Rev. James and was a bit disappointed that I didn't have time to stay for another, they seem to rotate their selection of ales on a regular basis (they have a list for the month on the tables) I would have liked to have tried some of the food too, it seemed quite popular as the friendly barmaid bustled in and out of the kitchen with orders. In fact they have a weekly international food night, which I think is an excellent idea. Curry one weekWienerschnitzl the nextsounds brilliant! The layout is slightly unusual, it doesn't quite feel like a traditional pub, but it is hard to explain why. I'm not sure why but it almost felt to me more like a pub in a coastal town. I could just be talking nonsense though as less than 1% of my drinking has been accomplished within proximity of a sea or ocean of some kind. Outside there are a couple of tables out front and a raised beer garden to the side, which is a particularly nice place to spend an hour or few in the summer.

    I was lucky to be in St Albans for a rare snow storm in late Feb/ Early March 2018. (Only last week…read moreat the time of writing this) The neighborhood was particularly beautiful with the snow covered streets and sidewalks. I trudged through the snow to find this place. It's off the beaten path of most tourist spots. I love a real English pub, and this place is rotten with charm. Foragers brews some of their own ales. I tried a unique ale that was flavored with Doug fir needles. That was a recurring theme in some of the food. The FOOD! The food is why I would go back again and again. Foragers is an incredibly creative restaurant without being pretentious. I didn't find one item on the menu, that I could get some place else. I got two dishes. One was a seasonal root vegetable soup. A hearty soup that was warming and so delicious. The entree was a mushroom and barley dish that had one of the best earthy, mushroom tastes I've ever had. On a cold winter night, I couldn't have found a more comforting meal. With a beer, the soup and then this dish, I was stuffed, but had to finish every last bite of the barley. I'm lucky to have a work project that is brining me to St Albans several times this year. This is going to be my place for dinner when I am in town.

    This is definitely one of my favorite spots in St. Albans. The Foragers go out of their way to…read morebring you the best in local fare and it certainly shows. Here's what sets it apart: - Creative, locally driven menu - Broad selection of drink (yay Estrella!) - Magnificently done decor Have a look for yourself, you won't be let down.
