Prince of Wales, Herftord

It has recently been announced that the pub is to close at the end of 2013, apparently because planning applications to extend the restaurant and accommodation, vital if the venue is to stand a chance of viability, have been repeatedly rejected. If this is the reason, it is depressingly short-sighted of the local authority because the pub is run very caringly by two excellent landlords who serve good beer and provide decent food at moderate prices. This marks the demise of yet another village local, leaving customers no option but to resort to the horribly over-priced and chaotic White Horse Hotel down the road, where you will be hard-pushed to find an acceptable pint of draught ale.

The White Horse, Hertford

The White Horse is currently going very well under its recently-appointed landlord Paul. He takes a lively interest in the pub and its customers and is serving its range of ales in top form. The auspices are currently promising for this gem of a hostelry.

The Wheatsheaf, Oakham

Like the other, older and more established pubs in this town, The Wheatsheaf's trade has suffered from the outstanding success of the Lord Nelson, which opened its doors in December 2011 and has not looked back since. With the Nelson's excellent range of well-kept ales and delightful service, The Wheatsheaf, once humming with local life, is struggling to survive..
Everards have entertained plans to revamp the pub and attempt to establish it as a flagship gastro-pub, but the tenancy is on the market and there are even rumours that it may close.
