Cricketers, Sarrattback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Walked through this attractive village yesterday morning so decided to return later for a quick pint. Busy on Sunday lunchtime with diners but this is a large pub with plenty of seating and service was pretty speedy. Several local brews on sale - Red Squirrel's Hopfest, Tring's Kotuku, 3 Brewers Golden English Ale & Vale's Red Kite (my selection for £3.90 was one of the worst for "beer miles" being 36 according to the blackboard I spotted later!) as well as Brunning & Price's Original Bitter (from Greater Manchester). Cider was Old Rosie. Maybe it is a destination pub but I detected no snootiness contrary to what a previous reviewer on this site inferred quite a few years ago.

Very much a country gastro restaurant rather than a pub.
Having said that, the food is excellent, as is the beer, and not too highly priced for what you get.
A definite candidate for future visits.

Decent pub but drinks are expensive and wine even more so. Other pubs in the village are nicer and better value.

sadly, more of a restaurant than a proper pub these days. recently refurbed, very pretty, Gok would be proud. having said that, they do have some good ales on offer and recently the quality has improved a lot (they used to taste like a dilute version of the ale you know and love). the food is ok, so if you're hungry and fancy a decent pint, it's a good place to go.

Nice country pub, but perhaps a bit more of a restaurant than a pub. Decor nicely done in a cricketing theme and it was a very pleasant place to visit. Good selection of beers, I had the Hydes which was fantastic, though I had to pay a hefty price for it (�3.60 if I remember correctly). Very nice though and there were some local Tring beers as well. Had some nice chips, also eye-wateringly expensive.

how do I describe this? pretentious rubbish masquerading as a traditional pub.
its not and hasnt been for years.
yes its always packed with city workers and their families who can afford the terribly priced food,. but its a pub with no soul,
yes the location is pretty, and they have given it the traditional 'look'
faked I might add, since this was for some years a snobby pizza parlour.,
if screaming kids running around and snooty dames in jimmy choos are your thing, go there. if you can get past the gas guzzlers than hog two bays each in the car park..
however if you like a traditional, quiet pub where you can sit and talk without being judged by the local false 'toffs' , you'd do better elsewhere. it really is that dire.
and no dogs are not welcome, which is pretty crap when many of the true locals are dog lovers. and older people who take their little fluffies everywhere.

How do I describe this? Plenty of tables and some easy chairs and benches near fireplace. Don't think there were any barstools. Black painted wooden floors covered with rugs gave the feel of a country house. Clearly been refurbished within the last few years. Bit of a gastro pub and geared for eating given the table arrangements, but surprisingly offering ever changing ales. Billed as a free house, last week on offer priced at �3.20 were: London Pride, Adnams Explorer, Butcombe bitter, Sharp's Doombar and Tring Blonde. The Sharp's was quite dark but not hoppy enough for me. The Blonde was light and refreshing, probably better for a summer day. Also Weston's Old Rosie at 7.3%! I'm not going to describe the food choices see their website - it was good quality but could've been hotter. I liked the decor, some may not, and the malt selection caught my eye for the return trip
