Rabbit's Foot, Ardeleyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
After a visit to the Fox in Aspenden (another one I have requested to be added to BITE), our fourth stop was the Jolly Waggoner in the remote village of Ardeley. The pub is situated opposite a farm which you can visit. We arrived in a bit of a downpour. But inside, there was a roaring fire, giving the pub a cosy feel. The 3 ales on were New River Twin Spring, Hadham 18ct Golden Ale & 3 Brewers Mild. We were the only customers. But we were soon joined by another family. Nice little pub.

Now the Jolly Waggoners again. Food comes from near by farm and was excellent. Ale very good as well - Adnams and a Buntingford product + one other. The one I had (Buntingford) was excellent.

Be careful the Waggoners was very good!
It is now The Rabbits Foot and very bad.
Poor choice on menu quite cold unwelcoming.
One of those I've been once would never go again.

Good pub, Great Sunday Carvery. Excellent Selection and they welcome children.

Visited the pub the other day and was very pleased at the friendly atmosphere. Nice real ales on tap and friendly staff. It's not a big pub but very traditional. A nice big garden for the Summer months.
We plan to go back and have a meal there as it's so nice.
A perfect place for a pint in my book.

I went here for an evening meal recently. It is a very out of the way pub anfd not very big. Nverer the less this is a excellent pub.
The staff are very friendly and polite. They seell IPA and Abbott ales at the bar amound usual drinks. The beers are very well kept (I reccommend the Abbott :)
We had no problem with us giuving them an order for 9 people on a sheet of paper either. We were taken through to the dining area and we were all sat around a lovely big round table.
The service at the table was fantastic and frequent but not overdone.
Food selection was great with a nice variety of interesting dishes available. The food was cooked perfectly and served nice, hot & fresh from the kitchin.
I have to say I think this is a pub for those willing to pay a slightly higher price than average. Let this not be a turnoff though as the price is very well worh every penny.
Otherthings, parking is not too great as there is not much room. If you plan to stay the evening and night like I did you will be ok with two cars as you can block park each other in but if you have 1 car you will get blocked in. Not too bad if you have to stay in the pub longer and drink the nice beer :)
I think there is a nice pub garden next to the car park but I did not use of see as it was evening/night time.
Overall, I was very impress with my visit and would reccommend this pub to other customers.
