Great pub. I've used it in many different guises over 20 years. But literally the worst pint of Guinness around. Amateur hour. To rushed.

I took my mum here today for lunch as the pub is only a 5 minute walk from the town centre and the menu looked like the sort of food that she would enjoy. We both ordered fish and chips (pretty standard, I know)! The food arrived promptly and was well presented. The fish and chips were served with mushy peas, tartar sauce, and curry sauce. The fish tasted fresh and not overcooked. The chips were lovely, and the bar staff Charlotte and Amber were brilliant. Will definitely be visiting again. #hiddengem

What a cracking little pub in the back streets of Snalbans! Great bar design feels like a proper old pub that has survived into the modern era! Has a wide range of beers check around the corner for the Keg wall. Excellent lighting plus real candles burning. I had a fantastic fish and chips brilliant chips and small but excellent mushy peas and curry sauce, and a very decent ( but exxie ££ ) Guinness. Bar and restaurant staff very warm and friendly. They have a Spotify playlist “The Verulam” which hit the sweet spot for me 70/80/90’s. Highly recommended and will go again.

It offers an excellent choice of beers and ciders with an impressive wine list all reasonably priced. The menu is varied with some very tasty starters and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Clever Madge spotted this pub down a side street. A great Freehouse packed on Good Friday evening....inside and out. Amazed to find Harvey's Sussex Best..the beer I cut my teeth on. Just as the young underage drinker remembers. Absolutely Fabulous. St Albans is a great pub destination...this was not even on my list..and to give The Coup de Grace...there was an empty "reserved table"..Madge asked...free for next hour.( Always worth asking.). Yeah..visit this pub.

Popped in on spec and they managed to get 4 of us in for Sunday lunch just before 1pm. Great food, excellent service, really impressed our friends visiting from Czechia and the Netherlands who were eager for a British roast dinner before they left. We needed to be away promptly and they needed the table for a booking at 2pm, so we were all happy. I had meant to visit pre-refurbishment, but never had the time, so was delighted by the opportunity and it did not disappoint.

Popped in for a drink for the first time since reopening on Sunday (15th Jan) with my partner and we both loved it so I returned today with my mum and grandma for some food at lunchtime. The man working was lovely and super friendly and welcome as soon as we arrived, an amazing selection of wine, craft beer/lagers and real ale on offer and we also had some food which was incredible! I went for the sausage and mash but my family’s choices of the vegan burger and pie and mash looked equally as tasty, they also have lighter lunch options of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, etc as well as their main meals menu. Will definitely be coming here regularly as it has all the elements of a great local pub! ❤️

Very good meal. Really enjoyable and food served hot. Super staff….. Shame about two female customers , aged around 70. Very loud - unbelievably - and one took a video call from her daughter and grandson, who were on holiday. She then had a VERY loud conversation in which the whole restaurant could hear. Do these people not realise we really don’t care about their lives or are interested in them . We don’t force them to listen to our conversations. Very rude and no self awareness.

I chose The Overdraught to meet a friend for lunch because of the close proximity to where I was staying, and what a great choice it turned out to be. Because of traffic chaos, my friend was a bit late arriving, so I had a coffee. It was beautifully presented in a double glass coffee mug, and had a little jug of heated milk. When it was time to order, we both chose the Beer Battered Fish with chips and tartare sauce. The batter was something to behold, so crisp and crunchy, and it was the best fish I have had for many years. The chips were cooked perfectly, and the home made tartare sauce was perfection. I noticed some of the meals other patrons had ordered, and they too looked and smelled delicious. What a great find. I shall return.
