    Another rural gem of a pub. A party of 5 walked from Hitchin in order to sample the Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed. A good solid, unfussy lunch with great roast spuds and big sharing platters of veg all served with a smile. The lovely staff couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. It was also an absolute bargain to boot. Recommended.

    A much needed recently refurbished village pub that has had an internal & external makeover. Come the spring of 2022, the pub garden will also have a makeover. This a popular pub that not only for the locals, but for passing cyclists, hikers/ramblers, dog walkers and visitors to Pirton village.

    Great pub, great staff, great atmosphere. I love it. I had roast beef, and it fell apart in my mouth. The vegetables were cooked to perfection and I throughly enjoyed it all. Dessert was amazing to. Quick polite service. Will be recommending and certainly coming back for more 10/10

    Not serving food until March. Drinks only! 1 star because this should be clearly noted on their profile. If you'd gone on a long walk to meet friends for lunch you'd be very disappointed!

    The chap running the place was absolutely lovely, I'd spilled something in my car and he generously helped me out with soap and water and then let us use the car park while we had a wander round the village. The pub is beautiful and idyllic and the garden is gorgeous. Ten out of ten.

    The lady serving was very friendly. No food was being served as the kitchen was being refurbished. It wasn't busy at the time but the atmosphere was nice and felt welcome. Will go back to dine once kitchen opens.
