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

Charlotte is a gem! Great range of beer, chicken wings and fries were spot on, and a bit of sunshine in the garden whilst playing Jenga was cracking for a Monday lunch. Cheers!

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.

Lovely pub and friendly welcoming staff however one of the worst roast dinner's I've had. The food came out very quickly and was cold. Meat was okay however the best part of a roast (the potatoes) were not crispy nor fluffy, they were tough and dry. Wouldn't eat again

We have visited this pub in its various forms over the years and were pleased to see that it has been reinventing by its present owners to a good standard. 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. We would definitely recommend and return.

The staff were friendly and polite, and they have a wide selection of beers, ciders, ales and soft drinks. I would definitely come back again to try the food as the menu looked delicious. Plus they had a lovely cider which I haven't seen before but may be a little sweet for some.

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.

As my Mum, Stepdad and little brother are visiting from up north this weekend we decided to pop to the Red Cow yesterday after they arrived at my house.I honestly wish we hadn’t bothered. We had three children in total with us. One of which is autistic and the other deaf so both can at times be loud but they weren’t overly noisy at all yesterday. Some customers were glaring at us anytime the children spoke and another customer kept tutting anytime a dog barked or our children made a noise. Customers were sprawled out across the bar without moving aside to let my partner order. One staff member with black hair came over to our table snatched the cutlery off and remarked “this table is reserved hence why the cutlery is out”. There was no reserved sign and a lot of pubs/restaurants have cutlery laid out on tables anyway. We just sat there because the children gravitated to it and didn’t think that deeply into it. My son was getting fed up and we weren’t happy with the atmosphere so we packed up to leave. My son who is 2 was crying in his buggy on the way out of the door. The same staff member who snatched the cutlery off our table was standing by the door, my Mum said thank you to her and the staff member rolled her eyes at my son who was crying. I passed her at the door after my mum and I too said thank you, only to be ignored by her. I’m sorry but is this a pub or a library? We’re local and although we don’t visit the pub that often, when we have been there in the past the team have been amazing. Particularly the manager Zoe, who I believe is currently on leave-AND IT SHOWS!! Zoe is amazing with kids and has always been really helpful and kind to our children, also to my little brother when he is down to visit. What a genius way to make people feel so uncomfortable and awkward that they want to leave and not spend more money. It’s an actual joke. Get some manners!
