| The pub closed suddenly about a year ago and looked as if the staff and customers had just vanished. After a refurbishment it re-opened this spring as the Oddfellows Arms. And it is a bit odd being neither a pub nor a café. Why do Europeans manage to pull the café bar concept off so much better? Felt rather cliquey and unfriendly when I visited. My pint was average but very expensive as was everything on their menu. Better pubs nearby. StephenM123 - 23 Sep 2016 18:03 |
| Snarling Mallard - the "free cheese" you mention (sorry, didn't see you on Sunday, did I?) relates to the Cheese Society established by the locals - who donate the cheese and port - to raise money for charity. It has been running for many years now. If you had paid a quid, you could have joined in. MartynG - 31 Aug 2011 13:17 |
| An old man's Charles Well's house a little bit away from the main drag in Harpenden. Seems reasonable enough but the pint of Youngs wasn't up to a lot and the music selection appeared to be more for the staff than clientelle. Also looks like they have free cheeee for locals.

| Went to pub for sunday lunch today and arrived prompt at 12. Was told by a older guy working the bar that I was too early. So I reminded him it was 12 and his response was well we can open when we like and we have decided to open at 12:10 today I was shocked by his weird attitude. He then asked me to wait outside until then..even there was no one in the pub! I said I would rather not and left. This pub has a nice setting but has a reputation for bad service and odd bar staff. Clearly this guy had forgotten that pubs are for punters and not self serving odd balls. Avoid like the plague! pubtruth2009 - 23 Aug 2009 20:33 |
| Nice looking Charles Wells pub overlooking a small green, far enough away from the main road traffic and High Street shops to give the place the feel of a village pub. Decent pint of Bombardier, with Youngs Ordinary and Adnams Broadside on the other handpumps. No sign of the reported under-agers either. rpadam - 8 Jul 2009 20:34 |
