The Cross Keys, Harpenden

Seemingly has just changed hands, but I can't imagine the welcoming atmosphere will get any better as the new owner seems very odd.

Rumour is that he's putting the less friendly of the two South African barmen in charge. It'll be very very interesting to see how that pans out.

A lot of the regulars aren't happy with the idea of the new owners coming in, as they are rumoured to be intending to bar some of the existing clientele. No bad thing if they bar some of the boorish Scots who loiter in the beer garden - middle aged pervy men who chase after any woman on her own.

You may have guessed that I don't like the place.

The Wickerman comment is highly appropriate

The George, Harpenden

Big improvement on what was there before.

Have been there for good value, good quality lunch on a number of occassions.

Very pretty and comfortable surroundings

Agree that the service is very slow though.

Haven't been in this place for 10 years: it was wonderful then, and I'm sure it still is now.

Great live music, and wonderful Guinness
