The Radcliffe Arms, Hitchin

First visit since lockdown;- expected to have to pay by card, BUT, was greeted by "if you just want a beer you have to order online", I replied "I don't have a smartphone", followed by "sorry can't serve you!".
Wasn't aware it was a legal requirement to have a smartphone!!! Never liked the pub much anyway, just a handy stop back to the station!.

First visit for many years. Seem to be coping OK with covid restrictions,(have to pay by card). Beer OK.

The Standard Bearer, Stevenage

Not sure if this place is going to reopen after coronavirus lockdown? Signs on doors today (06/08/2020) saying "this Wetherspoons is closed". No great loss frankly, was handy if shopping in town centre but basically as far as clientele went it was "Chav Central", and the majority of teh staff appeared to be semi comatose at most times (unless serving their mates).
