The Half Moon, Hitchin

We moved to Hitchin last year and discovered that the Half Moon is our local pub. Happy days! The landlord, landlady and staff are all friendly, we were made to feel welcome from our first visit. There is no loud music and there are no TV screens either. However the best thing about this pub is the beer. Thanks to the landlord's dedication, the pub turns out pint after pint of high quality cask ale. There are at least two regular ales and four guests at all times, never in this place will you see a pump clip turned around. As soon as one guest ale runs out, another one takes its place.

Food is available, the usual pub fare and a tapas menu as well. There are also bar snacks available until late - the cheese platter is excellent value if you get peckish after a few pints.

Definitely the best pub in Hitchin.
