The Bricklayers Arms, Hitchin

This has a new landlady who is doing a brilliant job- friendly/clean pub. Great for real ale drinkers. It is a proper old fashioned style pub and a great pub to take a book and try the ales-you can have 3 x a third of pint to try a few and as they don't serve food the landlady said today she allows people to bring chips in from the chip shop next door !- great - real ale, fish and chips from a good chippie and a good chat - no loud music, quiet, safe place for a pint.

I am a 47 year old lady and would quite happily sit in there with a newspaper - it's maybe not a pub for dressing up for but it's a 'proper' pub and Hitchin needs that.
Clean - wooden floors, bar skittles game, smoking area undercover out the back - a grassed garden and car park which I never knew of previously.

I also think it's a much more serious beer drinkers pub than the Half Moon with a good welcome. The photo above does no favour for The Bricklayers - it has since been done up!
