Great! Atmospheric and fabulously old pub with some great food and roast dinners. Not to mention their classic burgers which are excellent. Also great selection of beers and IPA etc. Great outside space too and The art of live event etc. And beer cider and other festivals

Thought we’d give this place a go after seeing the pics on their website, we were not disappointed. Couldn’t believe how busy it was for 6pm on a Wednesday night, word must've already got around. Staff were great too, the host was clearly passionate about the food when describing the cooking process and was particularly proud that they don’t put salad in their burgers, which made us chuckle. Enjoyed it so much we stayed on for dessert, the Belgian waffle was definitely the highlight. Already planning another visit soon.

If you are looking for a pub that is different from the normal, run of the mill, you wont find a better example of what a proper pub should be like. We were there on saturday with friends, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly "Hello's" not just from the landlord but the locals as well. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm. Things got even better when our meals arrived, good wholesome food, nothing fancy, but made with care not a microwave. Four cleared plates, four very happy customers, the desserts were equally as good. Try it for yourself, well worth it 10/10

Visited for an informal lunch on what turned out to be a very busy Thursday lunchtime. It turned out a funeral wake was being held - not interfering with normal business. Despite being ferh busy we had several tables to choose from indoors out of the 30+ sun. Food service was very fast and the waiting staff very attentive and solicitous. The food itself was excellent - freshly cooked with high quality ingredients. The puddings also appeared to be homemade and were very tasty. Speciality is their burgers but we didn't have those so can't comment.

Didn't eat here. I just popped in for a pint with my son. Great little pub. Finally, we have found some where that sells a decent pint locally. Nice fresh IPA, clearly had been pulled off before opening, and the lines kept clean🥰. ( unlike other locals that i won't mention!!) People coming into eat seemed to have been here before, so that would suggest the food is good. The lady behind the bar, which I assume was the landlady, was very pleasant. Will definitely be returning soon.

Nice oldy worldly pub. It used to be a medieval church. It has a bit of history with a highway man that was killed and brought to the pub and supposedly haunted by him. Great food and a few cask ales.

Booked a table for 8. Although it didn’t open until noon, we were able to sit outside in the glorious sunshine . Once inside we were looked after very well by Janine who was most friendly and above all attentive . Orders taken , we enjoyed a drink until the food arrived . Once it did , every meal was excellent and well presented . Burgers were amazing as were the steaks . One of the party had the pie of the day which was delicious . 8 empty plates later , sweet was ordered , again excellent . Janine made sure all was well throughout our visit . We would return .

Reminder to self if you a see a sign on the door advertising for a chef / cook then move on to another pub / restaurant. Had braised beef with peppercorns dish with mash and peas, not inspiring, found a couple of chips in with the braised beef !! Not a massive problem so ate them, then after a hardly warm piece of beef followed by a piece stone cold in the middle….. sent back and was replaced, better but not great. Wife had m3 burger which was ok but £3.50 for a small portion of chunky chips a bit strong

Aggressive landlord. Totally not customer friendly. I had the misfortune of the landlord accusing me of running up a tab despite never having a tab in the establishment and then totally belittling me in front of friends. Not a nice experience at all.

Nice pub, friendly staff Unfortunately food was average Only vegetable served was frozen peas As a grown adult, I do enjoy other vegetables However, by the choice of peas or peas I did already know what to expect. My meal was braised beef, nice enough but served up as my mother would have done so for a mid week meal in the 70’s. At £18.50 you would expect a little more attention to detail.

What a lovely lil pub, went for our first Sunday roast and disappointed we didn’t come sooner. Roast beef was tender, slightly pink. Chicken was excellent n packed with flavour, and finally proper gravy which is a make or break for a Sunday roast. Are able to tell the staff here take pride in what they do and it shows.

Had dinner with my family here, the food is OK but nothing special all burgers are good meat but very bland, the sides all sound great but not well executed. Service is slow but when we came it it was busy. The main thing I don’t like is having the pubs dog watching you eat waiting to be fed.

Really lovely pub in a gorgeous area. Food was shocking though. £18 for a Sunday lunch that just resembled a plate of mush and so much fat on the beef & no proper vegetables either! I've honestly never seen a plate of food like it. I'd definitely go back for a drink but no way would I eat there again.

Not sure where to begin, suffice to say we had a very SURREAL experience at this place. I will start by saying that my friend and I regularly work as Mystery Shoppers in restaurants (we weren't doing so today) but we do know exactly what to expect from both the food and the hospitality aspects. My friend ordered a chicken salad, and I ordered 10 of their wonder wings. Please bear in mind that we were ALONE in this pub for the duration of our meal. After 35 minutes, I am approached to be told that they only have six wings prepped, but that they could make up the rest with chicken chunks...(I agreed to this) Why does it take 35 minutes to work out you don't have the number of wings requested in the order, especially when it is their ONLY order? When my friend's salad arrives, it was lacking a fair few of the ingredients described in the menu. (Crunchy garlic onions replaced by raw onions that my friend could not have, no parmesan cheese, no dressing, etc. We had to order mayo on the side to make it palatable) But the worse was still to come!! After explaining our disappointment about the various issues and asking whether their would be some form of gesture of goodwill and being told 'no' as we 'really' hadn't any issues...we entered into the most surreal situation... Without going into huge detail because it would take far too long, the manager/landlord, after agreeing that they should have told us about the lack of wings available right at the start, proceeded to DENY saying so just 5 minutes later! IT WAS UNREAL. On top of that, he would not let me talk, saying he would keep talking over me for as long as it was necessary and doing so in the rudest manner imaginable. Even having the nerve of calling me arrogant! Needless to say, this gentleman is definitely in the wrong trade. At this point, and after trying to get some sense out of him and the evolving situation, I said that my next port of call would be social media. In a spooky set of circumstances, their card-machine stopped working and wouldn't take our payment... Suddenly, we were told to leave without paying for the food (right gesture, too late) and never to come back. The irony of that!! I would strongly recommend that you give your business to any of the many other food/drink venues in Bishops Stortford, rather than to this establishment. They certainly do not know what hospitality is or what it takes to run a successful pub.

Went there for a weeknight meal after a walk in the nearby countryside only to be told there is no food being served( despite there website saying otherwise) decided to stay for a drink and wish I hadn't bothered,the beer was awful and smelt strange,the garden is very run down and messy and the landlady was moody,all in all a terrible experience and won't be returning any time soon

An unmissable spot for real ale drinkers in the area who want the more traditional pub experience of good company, good surroundings & good beer. Fullers ESB & London Pride are 2 of the 3 regulars & are always spot on. Dark Star's Hop Head makes up the 3rd & there's also a couple of guest pumps in circulation. The landlord & customers are always friendly and the pub itself is beautiful & full of character (mind your head) with a split bar & a large upstairs area.
