Best kept real ale in the district. Lovely landlords and staff. A real family run pub.

Absolutely can't go wrong with the green man. Great for a quick pint after going to heartwood forest with the dog or a homemade pizza and a drink on a Friday. They have free car park and ever had diary free cheese for my lactose intolerant girlfriend. Staff Is very friendly too, highly recommended.

May 2023. Still tasty food, good beer and value for money. September 2023 lunch - still as good value as ever. January 2024 lunch - excellent food as usual at a reasonable price.

It is lovely small, well-decorated, and stylish. It's a great pub feel. Small quiet room at the back. A big marquee behind that. A ground-floor cellar is visible to the customers. It has a great feel to it. The staff and locals are welcoming, friendly, and easy to chat to. Enjoyed every minute there. I've not eaten at the pub but I have had good reports

Real ale in this pub is served by gravity direct from the barrel and is always in top condition. It's advisable to book a table for a Sunday, if eating, as the pub is sometimes very busy. Sunday roast has been replaced by BBQ for the summer. The aviary mentioned in an earlier post is no longer there. I always used to enjoy watching the "feathered" birds interacting.

Went for mid week lunch with friends having of course forgotten to book. When we arrived they were just serving a large group. Nevertheless after assuring staff we were in no rush they were happy to accommodate us. We didn't have long to wait at all for our meals. I had the Adnams meat pie, it was great. Good size, crisp pastry top and meat filled. Lovely. All in all the food was good, liked the atmosphere and staff were friendly. Thanks to those in the kitchen who had to work extra hard producing additional meals on a hot day. We will be visiting again.

Update review Jun2023: in the weekdays, the pub offers a range of pizzas. The pizzas are delicious, with a flavour reminiscent of an American-style tomato base, with strong sweet and salt flavours. Beyond the food, the pub continues to serve its regular three real ales and now offers at least three different gins and a modest wine selection (the pinot noir is very strongly flavoured with peppery overtones). The garden is part-patio and part-false-grass, where the patio is fully covered by a marquee. The views westbound into the setting sun remain fanastic as ever. Additional review Jan2020: previous landlord retired, new landlords settling down nicely, and they have now launched their food service. Sunday lunch was good value and nicely cooked, full of flavour. Sunday lunch served between 12pm to 5pm; pub was packed throughout the mid-afternoon service. Original review Jun2017: Been a semi regular for nearly a decade. Great real ales, a good line of ciders and the occasional perry, a careful selection of whiskey (inc single malts). Great "front room" environment. This is a proper locals' pub. Current landlord and family have run the pub for years. Food offering is modest, great value pub grub, always very well cooked and presented. Sun-trap beer patio.

Local pub where you don’t have to be local to be treated like one. For circumstances just beyond my control, I didn’t pick up a chicken for a homemade roast dinner, I won’t settle for a chicken from an express so I had to go for the best second option, someone else’s homemade roast dinner. Spoilt for choice in the village, I went where I know it is made with the love of the hosts and wandered into the Greenman. Quick bit of negotiating with Martin the landlord, further negotiations between Martin and Jo, the chef (and landlord) then like an Olympic torch entering the stadium; Jo brings over a plate of happiness to make a wet Sunday better. Rather than describe the food, which was perfect, I’ve added a picture of the way I appreciate it. Half way through and what’s left is the crowd pleasers, roasties, succulent chicken and cauliflower cheese; the veg had done their job setting me up for the big finish and what a finish. Disclaimer: if you don’t get there late into service you don’t have to negotiate ‘who knew’.

Never get enough of this pub. Top bar staff. Great customers. Great owners and hosts a family team. A pub for family and mates for drinks, chat, comrades, atrad public house, Ale house A fantastic cellar man, a master of modesty keeps the beer cellar on point. Beer is from the cask and the bar staff leave the small bar counter top to pour from the temprature controlled cellar, on view through the glass doors, Top atmosphere mid week or weekends,. Beers after work, 100%. Beers on a Friday night, 100 percent, Saturday lunch or evening, 100%. Sundays too good for words, from Autumn through to Summer. Every season marked by the sunshine and shadows each cast across the fields at the rear. The moon shadows too. A great tented outdoor seating area and also open space with tables. A 100 percent dog friendly pub. Cyclists much accomadated and welcome I noted. The pub has great live music events which draw the village and beyond together with just a simple chalkboard for advertising. The regular community charity fund raising events are a great credit to all the regulars and the publicians. The weekly quiz and poker night much valued and supported. The hosts are modest in their achievement in saving a great pub. Long live the Green Man!

It was a Sunday and we were out for a walk with friends and decided to get lunch before the walk home. Basically we stumbled upon the Green Man pub in Sandridge, nr StAlbans. We had always known it was there but had never ventured inside. But we are so glad we did. There’s a lovely area out the back where you like out over fields and cows grazing. Is was Sunday and they had a bbq. We had burgers and hotdogs with a couple of portions of chips on the side. The food was cooked and served beautifully. Also so 3 delicious caske ales to try.

On the whole a nice, friendly pub. BUT if there is going to be a 45 minute wait for a sandwich, please make that clear when someone orders a drink and asks for the menu. Not after you have sat down with your drink, looked at the menu and gone back up to the bar to order food. Some people have to go back to work.

A really ‘honest’ local, proper pub! I’m not a local, rather an occasional visitor, but nevertheless I’m instantly at home with the friendly service and village banter. Good selection of well kept ales and excellent food. Competitions, quiz nights etc are essential for maintaining the community feel - and this place does a great job in doing this. EDIT: Maybe this is the first review/update since the refurbishment and new Landlords! Love the refurbishment - sympathetically done to retain a ‘locals’ feel; lovely new seating, carpet and fresh paintwork. Lovely conservatory and rear garden too. Same great real ales - most served straight from the barrel in the cellar! Opening up the bar, adding a glass door to the cellar and clear glass at the entrance lets in light and gives a feeling of more space. Good job - and the new Landlords were very welcoming! FURTHER EDIT: Had Sunday Roast for the first time here today - good quality, well cooked and good portion size. Shall do this again!
