The Old Barge, Hertford

I was here on the first sunny day this year, glorious pub to sit outside for a pint by the canal and watch the world go by. Ordered food from the menu, which sounded superb "pan fried bacon and chicken" and the "crabcake salad" well given that the last reviews were 6 months ago i can only assume that the pub is under new management, as when the food arrived it was terrible. The so called pan fried....seemed to have been fried in a fryer, that may explain the chip residuals attached to the pieces. The crabcakes faired no better, they looked like they had been fried at least 4 times, they were completely inedible. The salad on the side was half brown, shrivelled up and dry. Nice pub, but avoid the food

Decent bar, great beers and cocktails - great staff and cool music. Only downsides its pricey as you like, and if you like the idea of spending evenings with the local estate agent wideboys trying to be lords then its the place for you. The fact that its the best isn't because its any good - its that their is no competition
