Great pub with atmosphere.Was treated to an impromptu performance of Beatles songs by a couple of guys with cello and guitar.Range of Robinsons beers which were ok.

I was here during the Scarecrow Festival weekend so it was pretty busy and the staff were running around like headless chickens but it seems like a great place to drink during quieter moments.Archers IPA was on offer as well as a couple of Tring ales.

What a fabulous pub..a visit is absolutely essential if you are in Hertford.Was there at the weekend for the beer festival which,once again,did not disappoint with a fine selection of ales.

The Old Cross Tavern, Hertford
Fantastic pub with ever changing beer selection along with regulars being Landlord and London Pride.Always good beers from Hertford`s Red Squirrel brewery.Nice relaxed atmosphere and a fine selection of pies!

Has had a lick of paint in recent times and possibly a change of owners.Lovely beer garden for summer drinking.Used to serve Landlord but ale choice is now down to the ubiquitous GK IPA.GRRRR.

The Silver Fox, Hertford Heath
Hey,it`s not all that bad!Mind you,I have never eaten there,but for a pint in pleasant surroundings it`s OK.Have not been to one of their "tribute"nights.
Beer is ok.Usual choices,IPA,Abbot,Speckled Hen plus a guest which changes every few weeks or so.Just stick with the crisps!

Pre July 1st,it used to be the smokiest pub in Britain,and this is coming from a smoker!Probably the best pub out of a pretty small selection in Hoddy high Street.Gets very crowded on match days(especially Arsenal v Spurs).Usually 3 or 4 ales on offer of varying quality.The GK IPA was almost undrinkable on my last visit.Still,this old duffer likes it better than the Salisbury next door...

Not a bad pub.Idyllic view from beer garden overlooking Sun roundabout and the Tower Centre!!.Very well kept selection of McMullen`s ales.My only real gripe about the place is that it is too brightly lit inside...my girlfriend had to wear sunglasses on the evening we were there.

Had closed down for a couple of weeks due to refurb/change of owners.Unfortunately,it is still terrible.On my visit,I had a pint of Guinness which was off and it also seemed like a creche for people who had just done their shopping in Wimborne Road.Why oh why the paucity of decent pubs in the Winton/Moordown area??

The Britannia Inn, Elterwater
Fantastic,idyllic location.Gets very busy with queue for the bar snaking its way out of the door.Fine ales including Coniston Bluebird and a couple of interesting guests.Good outdoor seating area overlooking the green and the outstanding surrounding area.
