(01923) 262554
An unpretentious boozer on Abbots Langley High Street whose name is commonly thought to refer to a soldier�s return from the Great War; and a great deal of memorabilia from this war adorns the walls of the pub. However, the publican told me that the name actually arose from a time when choirboys from St Lawrence Church opposite would visit the sweet shop at the front of the pub and then nip to the back for a pint. The pub once had a small public bar at the front, but has now been opened out into an unusually narrow single bar. Darts, dominoes and cribbage are all played and there is occasional live music.

ANNOUNCED AUGUST 2022 - This club is the CAMRA East Anglia Region Club of the Year, and is regularly the Herts & Essex Borders Club of the Year. This is a large club house is shared by the local Cricket, Hockey, and Squash clubs. Its known for serving real ale and always features local breweries, with a varied selection on the four hand pumps. The Bar is a bit sports dominated with football often screened, however the number of drinkers means there is a regular turnover of ales and as a result the beer is in good condition. As from Feb 2015 the club stopped being a members only bar and operates as a pub with all welcome, the large open grounds make for a great beer garden when its nice weather and in addition, members of the club and CAMRA members also enjoy discounted drink prices. The club is towards the northern edge of the town, and the entrance can be easily missed, as there is no traditional pub sign, look for the turning into the car park between the cricket pitch and tennis courts.

Sometimes interesting local beers are offered, but not always. Beer choice seems to be a a bit of pot luck. Note: After the 10th of September 2018 JD Wetherspoon will fully implement its stated company’s policy on dogs of "Please note that Wetherspoon has a policy of not allowing dogs in its pubs, including all outside areas (assistance Dogs excepted).” This includes any seating areas in front of the pub, where previously the policy may have been relaxed.

While the first floor is dedicated to restaurant tables, the ground floor features three separate bar areas where drinks, snacks and light meals can be enjoyed. Although the building last operated as a mill in 1916, the watermill is still functional, and is encased for viewing within the building - an impressive sight. Set up for typical Beefeater fayre, all Premier Inn meals are also taken in the mill restaurant. Outside there are pleasant gardens alongside the river, a pond populated by geese and ducks, and a children's playground, making the pub popular with young families. Despite being very nearby, the M25 motorway is well screened and surprisingly unintrusive.

The Crown Inn has served Broxbourne for several hundred years, dating back to the 1700's. Popular with Victorian day-trippers, the inn was also used by local companies who liked their employees to play sports on the adjacent gardens. The current building was constructed in the 1930s, replacing The Old Crown Hotel. Broxbourne, including the railway station, is situated in Herts, but The Crown is across on the east bank of the River Lee in Essex, where here the river is the boundary between the two counties. Today The Crown is easily accessed by the 2023 road bridge improvement over the railway and by going down Old Nazeing Road and crossing the river. This large pub is sited on a bend of the river with a pleasant garden. To the right of the entrance is the public/saloon style bar where there are generally at least three nation real ales on sale. To the left is the extensive restaurant rooms, which lead onto the garden area. This is by the old tow path of the river and overlooks the boat hire centre.

It is better classified as a micropub and beer shop (as reflected in the opening hours), selling an excellent range of canned beers, wines and spirits, supplemented by a neat little bar selling draught Mad Squirrel beers and cider (also available for take-out). Beers are served from a tiled wall behind the bar with 10 taps (2 cask ales, 6 craft keg beers, 1 sparkling cider, 1 still cider) all dispensed via an air compressor. Look out for live music nights. On Sundays all cask ale is £3.50 a pint.

Becoming a Free House in 2023, this is a fine old fashioned family run country pub, dating back to 1932, in a peaceful rural setting: it has a good sized garden and a petanque piste. Inside the walls and ceilings are festooned with china plates and jugs etc. Darts played here. The pub is named after the Baptist preacher and author of The Pilgrim's Progress. (b. 1628; d. 1688). He is believed to have stayed at a house nearby on his travels - the remains of which are just a few yards from the pub. There's a good competitively priced menu and a roaring fire in winter; each day there is a specials board featuring dishes distinctively prepared by the landlady. Newly added Gluten free menu. The pub also welcomes walkers; if for example you arrange to start your walk at the pub, the landlord will allow you to use the facilities and take your food order; if you then call him 10 minutes before you arrive back, he will ensure your food is ready and waiting. Friendly and well-behaved dogs are very welcome in both the pub and the garden. NOTE: From May to the end of September the pub opens all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.

In 1997 a planning application to turn the Swan Fish Restaurant in the small village of Ivinghoe Aston into a private dwelling was rejected by the local council after a group of residents from the village objected. As a result a number of the villagers banded together and came up with a plan to buy the restaurant and run it as a pub themselves. Enough interest was created from within the village itself and, with the help of friends and families of the residents, sufficient money was raised to purchase the premises and in November 1997 the aptly renamed The Village Swan pub reopened. It quickly became, and is still, the focal point of the village. It was one of the first pubs in the country to be saved for its community by its residents and 15 years on it has been running successfully as a friendly neighbourhood pub ever since.

Sports are popular at the pub, which has its own Sunday football team and golf society, as well as men's and ladies' darts teams. Pool and poker are also popular, the latter being played on Thursday nights, and the pub also holds regular charity quiz nights.

The current building dates back to 1924 but the site of the public house has been a source of hospitality for both locals and visitors since the 17th Century. Its first reference to being a beer house was in 1850 when it was known as the Plumbers Arms. By 1896 it was owned by Frederick Quincey Lane who owned Lane Nurseries close by and was a watering hole for the workforce. It changed ownership several times from then and was also known as the Red Lion before being named after the local landmark. The pub is a free house and has been owned by the same family for 10 years. The real ales and craft beers are supplied by Red Squirrel Brewery.

Picture postcard pub located in a peaceful location opposite Holy Cross Church and very close to the scenic Chess Valley. The pub has been greatly extended over the years. Most notably the old barn next door has been converted into a restaurant with low beams and doorways (hence the Duck or Grouse sign over the adjoining passageway). The original settlement of Sarratt was in this area before, as local legend has it, it moved down the road to Sarratt Green to escape the plague brought in on the river Chess. A secret tunnel is said to run between the pub and the church, its purpose unknown. Amongst the pub's amenities are a sunny patio out front with a view of the church, and a large garden with picnic seating and a playground at the back.

Located set back from the main road through Sarratt, the Cricketers has a traditional exterior but a large, tastefully modernised interior with plenty of dark wood and comfy armchairs. There is a cricketing theme to some of the decoration; most notably the pub sign and the memorabilia adorning the walls, although this has been pared down following a recent reþfurbishment. The pub has an interesting menu, which has traditional pub 'classics' with a gastro spin, as well as more 'restauranty' fare. Despite a keen emphasis on food the current management are serious about their ale too, with a range of guest ales from regional and microbrewers. There's free wireless too, if you fancy tapping away on your laptop. Details of real ales on offer are clearly displayed on a blackboard in the bar. A selection of board games are available for customers.

Located next to a large Morrisons supermarket, the pub is handy for a quick pint while waiting for a bus from the well-served stop just outside.
