The John Bunyan, Coleman Green

Great country pub, serves locally (well, Hertfordshire) produced McMullen ale. The AK Bitter was particularly good.

Lunchtime food looked appetising, although I didn't indulge.

Plenty of outside seating at the front of the pub and in the back garden.

Don't be put off by the winding single track road you have to drive down to get there, it's only about 1/2 a mile long, and there's plenty of passing places.

The Lytton Arms, Knebworth

Took the wife there for lunch last Sunday and I must say that I can't agree with some of the previous comments.
The food was excellent, the service fast, and the staff were very polite and attentive.
I'm only a real-ale amateur but the two pints I tried tasted very good and were a reasonable price.
I would fully recommend it.

Everything a lunch-time local should be, friendly staff good cheap food. Ale choice is a bit limited but good quality. Garden out front could do with a make-over, but there's a nicer one out back. Used mainly by regulars from the nearby businesses, so can get busy on the last day of the month, especially if it's a Friday. Haven't a clue what it's like in the evening, I've used it for 16 years but only lunchtimes.
