what the critics say
Giles Coren - 7/10
Saturday, January 09, 2010 - It is a lovely old place, right in the middle of the first field you come to driving north out of London...The food was excellent. The menu was a bit longer than I like to see in pubs (12 mains plus specials) but they do their own smoking of meat and fish, have a wonderful way with pan-fried foie gras entier served alongside shavings of foie gras terrine draped over crisp toast and salad, made a decent job of livening up a guinea fowl, and plated aged serrano ham with a poached egg in parsnip crumbs quite beautifully.

Marvellous. Visited recently having heard it was one of the best gastro pubs in Hertfordshire. We weren't disappointed.
It's a bit hard to find if (like us) you aren't local but it's definitely worth breaking out the sat nav for. Lunch satisfied the family, from age 6 to 65, and everything tasted fresh, hearty and home-made. Not cheap perhaps but for the quality and the lovely service I would have gladly paid more.
A return visit is most definitely on the cards.
