Re-opened in December 2022 following a period of closure and with a slightly revised name, The Verulam has benefitted from a sympathetic refurbishment which brings out the best of the pub's character. The pub's garden has also been improved. The large, L-shaped bar now stocks up to five cask ales, as well as traditional ciders on handpull and an extensive selection of craft keg beers. Good quality food is also available including Sunday roasts. Unusually, background music is provided via an old-fashioned record player spinning vinyl discs on the back bar. The pub's position makes it an ideal focal point to explore the Abbey and grounds, including the quaint warren of streets, river, Roman ruins and mill of nearby St Michaels and Verulamium Park.
