Went after a long time around 1pm waited a little while to get served staff talking had a pint of abbot ale not the easiest to pour nearly finished when the man pulled a phone out of his pocket and walked away to take call came back finished pulling my pint £4.50 not to bad , pint was warm and cloudy shouldn’t have drunk it , obviously wasn’t pulled through I got the pint that was in the pipes all night won’t be going back .at least I didn’t get stuck to the table this time that was an improvement.

Ordered a fish and chips ( as usual do) and this time cheff decided to serve me with only half of it. Asked waitress where is the second half of the fish, she said '' I don't know '' and just walked away. Such a disappointment as it was our favourite place for F&C. Manage offered replace it though...

Went to the Hertford Bell at lunchtime hoping to get away from all the depressing news on the TV. What a mistake!. All the tvs had on as usual was bbc news on with Boris Johnson talking rubbish!. When I went in the sound was off thankfully and great music Was playing through the speakers!. Then the barmaid decided to turn the music off and the TV up. When I complained to her saying I didn't come out to listen to that depressing rubbish she said SHE wanted to hear it!. Nevermind the customers! I thought the pub was there for the customers not the staff

Great pub. So much better since now leased rather than being a Greene King managed pub. Landlords (husband & wife) are always on the bar, great team of young staff who are always clearing tables and offering drink top ups so no need to go to the bar. Watched the Lions rugby here and really enjoyed it. Great beer garden out back too with TV screens as well. One of the better pubs in Hertford for sure.

Great Staff, Greet Drinks & Great food. Ordered the Haddock & Chips. The batter on the absolute unit of a fish fillet was insanely crispy in the best way possible. I thought the pea aioli was going to be a pretentious jizz on the side but I was pleasantly surprised when it slapped harder than my mother finding me smoking in my bedroom after college. My only gripe would be that plates are the superior vessel for which to serve great food on, boards and slates are so last millenia & they make the front of house experience living hell when clearing tables.
