The Castle, Bishop's Stortford

Traditional pub with cask ale and the usual lagers and bitters on tap. Very old-fashioned interior with a selection of board games, has a certain nostalgic charm about it. Beer garden and free parking to the rear of the pub. Often smokey inside although all-change on July 1st!

HOWEVER.

I too noticed the name of the pub on the ballot paper this year next to the BNP. I've never experienced any offensive behaviour or racist or fascist conversation myself, however if it is true that this pub is a BNP meeting place, then i shall be certain to take my custom elsewhere. Racism shouldn't be tolerated in any pub, just as it shouldn't be tolerated anywhere else in the world.

The Half Moon, Bishop's Stortford

Good pub for live music with all tastes catered for, from acoustic night to electric blues to african drumming.

Plenty of guest beers available, pleasant outside seating area and friendly atmosphere. Deuchars IPA, hobgoblin, fullers london pride seem to be available alongside the standard draught bitters and lagers.

Bar staff will order you a takeaway from a very commendable chinese restaurant to eat in the pub.

A comedy club has recently opened on fridays, and with music taking place basically every other day of the week, the pub often gets busy in the evening.

Prices are par for the course in Stortford.
