A nice enough pub, a pleasant stop for beer and food on our way down the A10 to Kent. Food? No complaints. Surroundings? Fine, and clearly recently redecorated. Staff? Helpful and friendly. Beer? Oh dear. If this was typical of McMullens I shall steer clear in future. There were four real ales and I wondered if there was a clean tasting, citrus flavoured ale. I tried AK and it tasted of.......water. Not a trace of hops or malt. Quite odd. I couldn't face the whole pint so went back to the bar and asked for a pint of Tail Dragger. 4.2 I think but that was weird as well. Lacking in body and flavour. I really think the brewery should tried a beer such as Oakham Ale Citra. This is very popular and the way beers are going. Clean tasting, very bitter with a hint of lemon. Nice place but 5/10 because of the beer. Sorry.

I quite agree - no pub atmosphere at all. Loud uninspiring piped musak kills a quiet conversation.
Usual two Mac's beers plus their monthly special 'Love Herts'.
Food is the main concern here.
The menu, price and quality is quite acceptable.
Our 'waitress' tried to take our four orders of meals and drinks by just memory. I said I would prefer she write it down.
The table behind us should have taken my advice.
Nothing here to make a quick return.

This was my local for years.

Always been less a pub and more the reception area to the kind of hotel Alan Partridge would live in. Expensive, ropey beer and less atmosphere than Pluto.

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.
