The Black Boy in St Albans

Nice pub nice beer shame about the staff at lunchtime first was short changed for £5 then she said will give you back when till opens.that did not happen went back to bar after 15mins later and she still forgot and tried to charge me again! Then when I said about the £5 she said oh yeah no apology at all! Wont be coming back

Neighbour recommended - nice pub decorative wise but the swearing was bad and unnecessary from men perched at the bar. One of the barmaids chewed gum throughout the time we were there - cant remember last time we saw that in a pub -very unpleasant and rude.

A small pub with local appeal which has had a face-lift which improves the atmosphere. The pub will, as you would expect, also serve hot drinks. There is live TV showing sports and can get busy during popular events. We called in during a late lunch time and found seats easily but were disturbed by the loud and offensive swearing of the locals which spoiled our visit. This may be OK for some but not all. Of course the landlord would find it difficult to limit this, for us, bad language.

Nice little hidden pub serving drinks and sports on a big screen friendly speedy service after the lady understood my accent a suggestion to the owner to please invest in a toast maker make more clients feel welcome Willem Hofland physically challenged traveller

Went in for a drink before going to the local curry house. Lovely village pub, great staff, good choice of drinks, Gin bar as well.very clean just refurbished, warm welcome. good for sports as well. Went back after the curry as well.

Pete and all his staff were amazing.The buffet that was put on for our party of 25 was incredible value and the food was superb.I cannot recommend highly enough and i thank everyone involved including all the locals for a great afternoon.Outstanding.

Popped in for a quick pint on way home, pub quite full but not packed only 1 person serving and she seemed more interested in chatting to the locals. Eventually I was served with a pint of Timothy Taylor's landlord, to be fare it tasted awful ,not as it should. Dirty pipes maybe. I only drank about a third of it before leaving,Won't be popping in again, shame as the beer is one of my favourites.

El negro eligió principalmente como un lugar Chico, ya que no estaba lejos de crematorio de Watford. Con la familia y amigos de diferentes partes del país que hizo el viaje tiene sentido mantener a un mínimo.El Black Boy es un antiguo pub tradicional con un ambiente, county impecable y tiene un ambiente cálido. Pedimos comida para 35 personas, que estaba muy bien presentada, variable y sabroso. El propietario y el personal era encantador y el servicio excepcional.Además la gente que nos acepta y era amable y educado.No dudaría en recomendar el Black Boy como un lugar o como lugar para dejar por una pinta, y gracias al propietario por su hospitalidad.

Un pub tradicional combinada con deportes y música en vivo. El personal es amable y eficiente. El lugar se llenaba tarde y cuando hay un evento deportivo. También hay música en directo en el exterior en verano. Una buena selección de cervezas pero el menú es muy limitado.

The black boy is a superb venue catering for everything from parties to blackboy wood stock! It is situated in a great setting by rhe local parade of shops .

Visited for a few beers on a Saturday evening. An extremely handy location. A great range of ales with a well set out garden.

Keeps very good ales and clean pipes. Great if you want to catch up on all the sport and often has roasted spuds for punters on a saturday afternoon. Nice garden too for live music and big screens outside

Situated on the Old Watford Road in Brickett Wood. Visiting friends in the area, so met up prior to dinner at home .Fairly small pub with few tables for dining. Big TV present. Good selection of ales, very reasonable prices. Service pleasant. Comfortable seating area.
