The Great Northern in Welwyn Hatfield

Welcomed by a warm hearth, a lovely atmosphere and smiling staff, I enjoyed my evening in a traditional English pub transitioning between train and the rest of my journey home.. A huge thank you to Charlie, for being so helpful, the world needs more people like you :)

Quintessential British pub right across Hatfield Station. Friendly staff and cosy decor. Met up with an unusual member of a pub... A 16yr old Labrador mixie... The most friendliest of the lot... But yes she prompted me to write a review... A nice place to just grab a pint and chill

Hmmm dont quite know about this one came the other day and waited and waited it seemed the locals got served first and when asked to be served almost scowling at me as getting my drinks .Dont know about food we went up to the red lion where service quick and nice staff.zif you have a lifetime to waste then hey give it a go But not for me

Served promptly. Sugar only, no sweeteners. Foam topped, made by machine. Currently being refurbished, already looking very nice.

Visited the pub ony visit to hatfield house,they now serve food,orded the brocolli stilton soup it was lovely and definatly home made fresh,orded the special if the day ham amd pea pie topped with mash (my choice ) it was amazing again home made.will come back again and tell friends and family.you will not be disappointed.

Popped into this after a nice dog walk around Hatfield house we were welcomed in with friendly staff and locals. They were dog friendly and also provided dog beer and treats would highly recommend popping in. Lots of events and entertainment in the weekend.

Called in after a long bicycle ride into a strong wind ! We were greeted into the pub/restaurant and looked after by some delightful staff . The food was delicious and the ambience was lively yet relaxing. Definitely worth going to .

Este pub está justo enfrente de la estación de tren de hatfield, es un deber cuando en la zona. La chimenea es genial. Los precios de las bebidas son buenas y el personal es muy amable. Un montón de eventos, los fines de semana está lleno de música un buen ambiente para un pub.

Good night out, staff are very friendly! Drinks are reasonably priced. Juke box has up to date music. They have a DJ a the weekend. Would definitely go again.

A really nice friendly pub . Friendly staff and clean environment . Next time you are going into London from Hatfield pop in for a drink or a great evening out can be enjoyed here

Dirigida completamente enfrente de la estación de tren, imagino que este pub tenía algunos viajeros y gente normal por dentro. Equivocado. Caminar y cada patrón (en su mayoría hombres de aspecto agresivo) se convertirá en prender. La camarera era bastante agradable, pero no disponibles o lager ale decente y la clientela son horrendas. Evitar.

Horrifying place, no real ales, terrible music, odd looking folk. Go to the Red Lion up the road if you wish to enjoy a decent beverage and food.

We went there for a whole week after a hard day work for a drink or two. It was good. the bartender was friendly enough. next week we will be there for another beer for sure.

Frente a la estación de hatfield práctico para los trenes. Paramos aquí para comer algo y tomar una cerveza mientras espera el tren. Pub es limpia y muy bien decorada. Muy bonito jardín: terraza. No podía ver los menús así que no pregunte por la comida. La camarera era bueno pero no interesado en lo que estaba pasando. No hay mucho ambiente y muy tranquilo. Los inodoros están subiendo un tramo de escaleras muy empinadas, así que no es ideal si tienes un par de cervezas.

Se ve muy bien por fuera. Hortera dentro. 4 Bombas de mano pero no ale. Sólo en caso de que no te gustan menos sosa lager, o Strongbow. Servicio amable pero me temo que no compensa la mala elección. No interesado en el "jardín" o lo que parece ser un pequeño trocito de terreno libre mirando hacia la parte trasera de algunos tapiada tiendas?

I went with my partner yesterday as we had an hour to kill before our train.The pub is cheaply decorated and not very clean. Our table had clearly been wiped down but was very sticky. I realise this could be for a number of reasons but it doesn't feel nice.I ordered a vodka and tonic and a pint of Doombar. There wasn't a slice of lemon in sight for the v&t and my pint just looked wrong. I had to pay 50p to use my debit card, which nowadays is just wrong. I did try to get cash first but the machine outside the station was out of order.I took the drinks back to our table and took one sip of my pint and immediately tasted vinegar. This happens for one of two reasons. Either the barrel was off or they don't clean their pipes. I took it back and even though they have 5 hand pumps for bitter, only Doombar was being served. So I was forced to get Worthingtons instead. Anyone who knows their bitters know that it's cheap stuff with not much flavour and of course because I paid by card, I couldn't get the difference in cost back.This is a pub only for locals. My gf ( as my back was to this) noticed that everyone was using the disabled toilet instead of going to the gents. She also noticed that they weren't washing their hands, which I know isn't the pubs fault but they should NOT be letting them use the disables facilities. I find that a disgrace. It only takes 20 more seconds to get to the gents facilities.They also have a jukebox which was clearly set up with music for the owner/landlord. Sorry, but I really don't want to hear 30 minutes of back to back U2 songs when in a pub. I felt depressed!!

I like this pub it's nice if you want to go in for a quick drink if your train is going to be another hour. But I've been in here for for and all they do is microwave food it's disgusting. Wouldn't go back

I came here with my partner, and I felt very uncomfortable, people were staring at us as soon as we walked in, obviously because we are not regulars. We thought we would give it the benefit of the doubt and revisit but with family this this, but unfortunately our experience was the same for us and also for our family, we stayed for one drink and left. I would describe this place as a good place for blokes having a few beers and a laugh, watching footie. Not ideal for couples or family's I'm afraid to say!

I had a quick lunch at this pub today and this was absolutely a wrong choice. The burger was overlooked, almost burnt. It was hard and it had a strange flavour. A small piece of bacon and cheese were added, as if nothing was inside.Good and smiling service.I asked to pay by credit card and on a total of a little more than 7£ they told me that there was a charge of 0.50£ for payments by card. Absolutely unacceptable and unfair.

Used to be an excellent old Victorian pub right next to Hatfield House and across the road from the station. The original old fireplace & decor have now all gone. Then it changed to a sports bar with multiple TV screens and cut price cheap lager, Now its tarted up, ok for a swift half, but lacks atmosphere. One strange feature is the toilet up a lot of stairs and along a corridor. Not exactly conducive to safe manoeuvring after having supped a few too many.

A handy pub just over the road from Hatfield train station.Recently refurbished the décor looks very nice.Always been served promptly , there is a tv on all the time which can be annoying sometimes.Modern juke box as well as outdoor benches.Have not tried the food so cant comment.All in all a good meeting up pub for a few drinks and a chat.

This pub is across from the rail station. We stopped in for lunch before visiting Hatfield house. I was disappointed. Both the food and the service hovered on the line between "average" and "avoid". If you are visiting Hatfield House eat in their cafe instead of here.

Rolled in for a couple of Stellas and sat i the garden. Overall all your typical estate/station pub atmos: inside with a few locals all sitting at the bar having a jar and a giggle. £3.50 a Stella can't argue with that a must for travellers to or from Hatfield station although I wouldn't go out of my way to spend a night there.

Went for lunch after visiting Hatfield House. Nothing was open, except this pub.The food was perfectly adequate and not expensive. Walking distance from Hatfield House.A very good alternative to eating in the on-site restaurant there.
