The Half Moon in Dacorum

Traditional country pub, not trying to be anything else. That's a refreshing change. Good real ale for me and a good choice of wine and beers for others. We enjoyed a first class ploughman's in the garden.

Really lovely village pub would recommend it to all x

I have been visiting this lovely little pub for two years, and have always found the food and atmosphere to be five star. Guy and Abi always go out of their way to help, but they excelled themselves during this last visit, when we held a reception after the funeral of a family member. Thank you!!

Fantastic value for money! A great pub with very friendly staff

A warm welcome, great pizzas , loved the dogs and the real fire. Lovely old pub with exposed beams.

Great village pub. Good beers and atmosphere. Well Kept and very welcoming. Enjoyed our visit.

Lovely village pub. Nice bar area with a large open fireplace. A cosy atmosphere in the main bar, the side bar needs more atmosphere. Great food.....best Chips ever! 👌 It's best to book in advance if you can, it's a busy little pub and popular for food.

Absolutely lovely little pub with good beers (including local Tring ales). Very reasonable prices. We weren't able to have lunch however as we hadn't booked: if you fancy food, you should definitely book. Even mid week, apparently!

Fantastic local pub with friendly staff and patrons! Great local ales on tap too

Rightly a very busy local pub. Great food and service. Cosy atmosphere. Love it!

Great old fashioned boozer with well priced pub grub. Lovely open fire and atmosphere and cheerful staff and resident dogs.

My mother was visiting from Germany and on her wish list was a visit to a “proper pub”. We chose the Half Moon, because the pictures looked so cozy. It was even better than expected. It really is very cozy with a warm fire, the dogs loved every new person coming in and the hostess actually talked in fluent German with my mum (which surprised her so much that she didn’t know what to reply). I’m also a large/heavy gent and was pleasantly surprised that I could move through the pub without issue and there was plenty of stable seating. Might not be of interest to most, but for me it made the visit so much better. The food was fantastic and we felt utterly welcome. Since we live only a 30 minute drive away we’ll definitely be back.

Met with some friends for lunch here. Just a really lovely village pub, with great food and lovely staff. Highly recommend

We were not surprised that this pub was so busy when we booked for lunch last Thursday, we couldn’t fault the food, service or ambiance at the Half Moon. The specials from the board were delicious and all of the meals were good value. Attention to detail was appreciated, the pats of butter served with the new potatoes, delicious, when we requested mayonnaise a large bottle came out instead of a measly portion in a dish and coffee is served in large elegant mugs and tea in a pot. We have booked for Sunday lunch and are very much looking forward to it. Would definitely recommend this relaxed and friendly village pub.

I have walked past this pub a hundred times and thought wanted to pop in. I and a friend, popped in on a Wednesday lunchtime to be greeted by the friendliest barstaff. Service was excellent, the food was better than you would expect for a traditional pub (jumbo sausages and chips; Haggis and chips) and we were made to feel very welcome. The pub was busy with a good few locals enjoying themselves providing friendly banter and entertainment. I am already planning my next visit. Added bonus for dog lovers the pub is dog friendly!

Lovely old pub with very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Excellent food freshly prepared to order. A very good selection of main meals, lighter meals and desserts. Good beer and coffee too. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. Booking in advance is wise as this pub is very popular.

Lovely country pub full of atmosphere and superb food.

Nice little country pub. Haven't tried the food yet, but would like to. Was pleasantly surprised to see a vegan vegetable tart on their daily specials board. Not sure if they always offer a vegan option, or just certain days. We stopped in for a cold drink on a hot day, met the resident dogs, and enjoyed the probably authentically old decor and photos of the local war heroes and celebrities. I'll post an update if and when we've tried the food and spent a little longer there. Oh - and be aware that they stop serving food at 3pm.

Meal ruined by the comments of an over-sensitive and paranoid member of staff. I felt I was being attacked by false claims that I was mocking her disability. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is not within my character. For goodness sake, I've been using this pub off and on for the past 15 years and written good reviews in the past. This member of staff has just lost the Half Moon all future business of 5 'mature' gentlemen. How sad.

Lovely old fashioned pub. Great welcome. Excellent service. We were a group of 19 and everyone’s food was excellent. Such friendly helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Abi & Guy

Like Darling Buds ov May. Lovly Food .lovly setting very welcoming. Prices for what you receive These Days 10/10

Don't get in there much but always warm welcome and great beer.

Very friendly village pub near the canal, popular with walkers and groups. The lunchtime food is excellent and very good value. Small but good range of ales

Brilliant lunch for all the family.

Lovely pub in a quiet location and great ale.

Our local and favorite country pub. Always a warm welcome great food and good choice of beers.

Old English pub with lots of atmosphere. Excellent beer and wonderful sandwich at a reasonable price.pp

We decided to stop on our way back from the farm shop, a lovely pint of beer in the garden. Food is only served at lunch times, this is the first time we have been back for about 40 years, hopefully it won’t be so long next time!

Lovely little pub we found after walking down the canal from Aylesbury defo recommended for a drink while you recover 🤣

Always excellent service...Great atmosphere

Lovely meal in a traditional village pub. Staff were lovely

Good beer, good service from the masked landlord 🤣 The last time I was here it was post covid, hence the 'masked landlord' comment. It was good to be back, the service was friendly and efficient. The beer was Tring brewery, always a good beer from a local brewery. The food was delicious, the beer garden spacious and very well kept.

The roast dinner was lovely thanks to Abi and Guy.

Brilliant pub, good food, and nice people. What more do you need?

Lovely Sunday lunch carvery in a clearly well liked country pub. Staff gave really good service and we're welcoming.

We had lunch here with friends. It is a lovely traditional village pub with a good menu choice (including several vegetarian & vegan options and some options in small and larger portion sizes) and separate dessert board (if you have room!). The people serving us were friendly and helpful. We had to wait a while for the food but that was okay as the place was full (a testament to its reputation) and the food was cooked to order. The food was good and the portion sizes were large. There was draft real ale, including Tring Brewery's Side Pocket for a Toad, which made my husband very happy! We'll definitely be returning.

Great place to go for lunch, I'm a bit funny with my food !! They were extremely helpful... Always a Warm Welcome and a nice Fire although it needing stoking a bit sooner, Still lovely ..

Average but very friendly staff!

Great pub - excellent service and lunch with a pint of Side Pocket.

I had the pleasure of organising a Charity Sunday Lunch for 22 Guests. The choice of 5 Meats were all Cooked to Perfection & the Expansive Selection of Vegetables were Replenished after each Table was served. The Desserts were all Home Cooked & the Cheese Boards were Excellent Value. Guy the Landlord kindly Donated a Meal Voucher for 4 plus a Bottle of Wine which was Auctioned. I know I echo the thoughts of all those attending that not only was the Event a Great Success but most pleasurable.

Nice small public house. Food was very tasty and friendly staff. Car park at rear as limited parking at the front.

My favourite pub when I lived in Tring .Still try and visit whenever we return to the area

Cosy pub. Good food. Always a warm welcome😀

One of the best pubs in the area. Good beer and good food

I travel from some way away to go to this pub for the haggis. Really, really good quality pub grub at unbelievably reasonable prices. Most/all mains under £10. Good, well-kept beer. Spitfire on last visit was very good. Just fyi... you'll need to like dogs, but to be fair, they're trained to not bother diners.

Lovely village pub, eight of us met for lunch, delicious food in a very nice surroundings.

Always a pleasure to be here. Food is as delicious as ever 😊😊😊😊

Gorgeous pub, very peaceful location. Staff were lovely and had a nice chat with some of the other people in the pub who were really friendly too. Well kept ales which were very much enjoyed, at a very reasonable price too.

Son's 40th for family and friends. Great food made by landlord. Atmosphere was very good as always.

Great home cooked food. Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. Does get busy, so advisable to book.

Great local pub , serving great British classics

Back again for a lovely meal in this cosy pub. Good beer, friendly service and a wide menu including my favourite - haggis, eggs and chips. Brilliant. Will be back again soon.

Lovely quiet little village, traditional country pub, nice outdoor seating area. Bar staff very welcoming & served excellent food. Will definitely visit again very soon.

Lovely friendly old charm pub great staff and very good pub grub we had scampi and chips ,small cod and chips and ploughmans all presented very well and good portions also had 2 g&TS 2 vodka and lemonades and a pint of ale total £50 great prices highly recommend this pub for price quality and a smiling face .

A little wait for food but so wonderful to see a thriving village pub packed with diners on a Saturday lunch time

Great food, large portions, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Everything that you want from a traditional country pub.

Brilliant, friendly staff, good beer and food.

We only stayed a short while but the warm welcome and visitors comments mean we shall return for a meal.

Made very welcome by land lady and staff. Food and beer very good will b back

A lovely friendly pub, great beer, food & atmosphere & very dog friendly

Absolutely the best little country pub we drive 10 miles to come here lovely welcome beautiful food lovely staff thank you.

Great pub food good choice love the smaller portions choice all our food hot and delicious has great garden and friendly atmosphere

Great local pub and after a 5 mile walk the food portions and cost were great value for money

Wonderful little village pub with friendly staff and good food and beer. I had the haggis with eggs and chips - and the haggis was real Scottish sourced and the eggs were local farm fresh. Highly recommended.

Lovely café, nice staff. Interesting farm shop with beautifully presented veg.

Great service, classic English pub. Beer garden and they rolled out the sun for me.

For the last year I have regularly visited this Fine Establishment at least once a week. It's a proper Village Local, selling the Finest Draft Ales, Great Traditional Home Cooked Food, Competitively Priced . The Landlord/Landlady as well as the Bar/Kitchen Staff are all Professional, Polite & Friendly. The Locals add to the Unique Atmosphere & being a Dog Lover, the Pubs 3 Hounds make my CockaPoo most welcome.

Felt unaccepted as we are boaters passing through, sorry looked ar like a piece of 💩will not be returning only for locals

Superb food, nice and cosy atmosphere and lovely people. Thoroughly recommended especially for those of us with a healthy appetite.

Lovely pub. Great food and friendly service.

Lovely traditional family run pub with lots of smiling faces (the sun coming out helped!). Excellent well presented pub grub with some great real ales on tap. Highly recommended , and not just for the reasonable prices.

Venue for lunch after our group walk. Good food and very pleasant pub

A nice local pub offering pub grub and a good Sunday Roast although you need to book ahead for that. Prices reasonable and friendly staff

My fishing mates and I had our delayed Christmas get-together in the Half Moon on Tuesday and it was excellent, as usual. A warm welcome, a wide range of drinks for the drivers and the non-drivers, big portions of tasty food at reasonable prices, freshly cooked without too long a wait, a blazing fire, no music or TV noise, friendly & helpful staff - what more could you want?!!!

Good pub, locals recommend grub. Book for lunch as small dining area. Will be back to sample

Very friendly good food and beer.

Friendly staff/landlord, lovely pub dogs, good range of beers on tap, decent food and a great country vibe to the pub complete with a wood fire and fireplace and beams on the ceiling, plus beer garden. Good pub for a visit if you're in the village

A perfect little country pub. Good beer, tasty food and the warmest possible welcome (despite four unruly children). The abundance of well-behaved dogs is a definite plus!

Busy but friendly and pleasant staff. Menu choice is good and food well prepared.

We feel lucky the Half Moon is surviving these hard times. Always a friendly welcome, good beer and decent, unpretentious food, so glad we can still get a hearty pub lunch on a good day out walking.

A warm friendly welcome awaited us on arrival at this brilliant pub. We popped in for something to eat - but unfortunately the kitchen doesn’t open Tuesday evenings. No a problem. The landlord invited us to book a takeaway and provided us with hot plates and cutlery to boot! Needless to say we are popping back for a meal tomorrow evening (they were fully booked for lunch!) The atmosphere was great and the pub was pretty busy for a Tuesday evening. Excellent beer too from Tring brewery a few miles up the road.

A super little find. A village pub with atmosphere and delicious food. Open fire, small and very dog friendly. The steak pie and chips was excellent. All except one table was reserved. I’m not a dogs at the table person, so the warm wet neighbour...

Fantastic food and service as always. Love this pub, warm friendly atmosphere. Meet friends for dinner a few times a year, always our meeting place and has been for years, wouldn't change it 🙂

We, and all our friends from far and wide, love visiting this friendly, cosy little pub. It is right in the heart of the village, serves proper pub food which is beautifully cooked and presented. Last week there was a lovely log fire crackling away...

This is a proper old-fashioned English country pub, in the heart of the village, serving an excellent selection of real pub food which is consistently well cooked and presented. Prices are extremely reasonable. It has a lovely atmosphere, with an open fire and cosy decor. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. Friends from far and wide always want to visit the Half Moon when visiting us and we are more than happy to oblige! We love it!

A favourite place. You always get friendly excellent service and great food at affordable prices.

Such a nice old pub with very helpful and friendly staff. Plenty of variety on the the menu for everyone to enjoy and really good food. A pub as good as this us hard to find these days.

We came for a Sunday lunch as we fancied a roast, after seeing positive reviews we decided to give it a go. Unfortunately we were really disappointed and feel robbed! I ordered a nut roast and it was come out as a thin thin slice...

Superb real pub with excellent food at a very good price.

Extremely pleasant staff, great location. The 🍺 is kept well and the home made food is very good.

Lovely lunch and very good service, really enjoyed our day.

Very good quality food and excellent atmosphere visit there every Sunday for our dinner. The people are all very friendly and so are Abi and Guy and the rest of the staff. A really great pub

Nice pint of Ridgeway and a meal of Haggis, egg and chips. Lovely.

Absolutely great! Good simple hearty food that satisfies and excellent beer

Excellent lunchtime menu from warm baguettes to lasagne and a real feast of a ploughman's! Well kept beers. Well worth another visit

A great good old fashion country pub with simple but great quality food at a reasonable price. The service is great and the locally sold beet is refreshing on a warm day.

Great meal, well presented service great. Been going there for a few years and have never come away hungry best place for miles.

What a pleasure. Nice, quiet end of the day pint at a proper pub.

Wonderful pub grub. Nothing fancy about this place. Down to earth people, homely. Brilliant eggs and proper ham. Not a place to come in a rush because everything is cooked on a first come first served basis, but at least you can be fascinated by three lovely dogs.
