This is a loyal spot for a pint of lager, pink (rhubarb) gin and tonic, or a hot meal that hits the spot. My favorites: meat & ale pie with chips and the half chicken with salad. There is also a chef curry of the day each afternoon. All of the meat is high quality and well-cooked. Possibly my favorite meal out in England so far. There is a big, permanent tent, event space in the back that you can rent out. We rented part of the pub, as well as the tent space for an event and had a blast. The staff let us bring our own food and guests could come up to the bar to order drinks. There's a parking lot out back and an outdoor kids playing area as well.

The Crown is in Shillington a village about 5 miles outside Hitchin and is well worth seeking out…read moreif you're the area. It has a deecent sized car park and a beer garden with a covered area for when the weather turns wet. The small front flagstone floor bar is where the regulars congregate - they're a friendly bunch and don't bite and they're very welcoming. The rear bar is the main eating area. The menu is extensive and good covering traditional British pub-fare and more unusual things such as Thai and Indian curries - it's all cooked well, very tasty and very reasonably priced. We had a family function here recently and they put on an excellent buffet for us - worth thinking about if you're looking for a local venue that provides catering. The staff are very friendly and helpful - the beer is good and the wine list fairly extensive - what more could you want for a pub?

Personally this was my first time here and I went with some friends if mine. The food was very good and served in a reasonable time, all dishes in one go meaning that attention has been paid from the chef. I had a lamb burger with potato wedges and coleslaw in a mango sauce. The meat was medium cooked as requested and the coleslaw very nice. My wife had a steak and ale pie. The stew was very tender and the sauce not bitter at all (Which us something that it happens very often). Can't comment on my friend dishes as they went for an ordinary sausages and scampi both with fries. However portions were generous enough. The pub is an old grade listed place and our was very nice to stay in. Chimney were off, but I'm sure that they can add a nice touch and make the environment very pleasant. Price wise, it's on the average. I'll will definitely go back again.

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

The Coopers Arms pub is tucked away at the top of Tilehouse street in Hitchin and despite being…read morequite central would be really easy to miss it if you didn't know about it. There is some parking but the car park is pretty small and fills up quickly. The pub itself is quite oldey-worldy and you get the impression it's been there for a few centuries. It's a very traditional pub in feel - range of decent beers, wines and ciders. They do some decent pub grub too - nothing fancy but not overpriced. There's always a bit of a buzz about the place, particularly in the evenings - but a mix of clientelle - young and old, locals and out of towners alike. Definitely one of the better pubs in town and work seeking out.
