16:00 A walk was planned but the heavens opened so we came for a drink instead. Fairly quiet, still some diners in the bar as the pub serves food all day on a Saturday.

The pub is found in Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire, SG3 6JP.

An inter-war roadhouse on the old Great North Road (London Road). The typical design of these was two bars and a separate dining room to one side. The original form can still be discerned, although both bars are now knocked into one albeit still partially divided by a chimney-piece. The dining room is now a rather smart restaurant. The bar counter would appear to be original. The former public bar still has a bar billiards table and the garden contains a small zoo housing a number of small birds and mammals. Taken back by brewer at expiry of lease.

We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried 1 of them.
