Can anyone advise a good real-ale pub for Sunday lunch within striking distance of St Albans?
As I've got someone to drive me there I prefer to go to a country pub rather than a city/town pub which I could visit anytime using public transport.
Thanks in advance.
I am afraid I do not have an answer - but I know the address of some people who might:
CAMRA
230 Hatfield Rd St. Albans, AL1 4LW 01727 867201
This will help you to keep a grip. It is now general knowledge that this newsgroup was set up by the government to plug the gaps created by the abysmal failure of their Psychiatric Care in the Community Policy. The uk.local hierarchy was devised to provide an outlet for individuals who would otherwise spending their days sitting at home wearing an aluminium foil hat waiting for a full moon to rise. It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence of nutters out there howling at the moon and frightening the s*it out of their neighbours. Another of HMGs aims and objectives was to provide a distraction to take their minds of the problem of who they were going to knife to death next. Unfortunately, this group has been taken over by the articulate lower middle classes who have succeeding in driving HMGs target audience away.Independant research has shown that it was the amount and quality of the inane drivel, called small talk which the middle classes are adept at, which had the effect of doing their heads in. They left to protect what was left of their sanity. Saddly this has happened to the whole of uk.local. hierarchy.
This newsgroup is a very good example of another HMG failure.
F*ck off, crossposters.

I used to go to the Barley Mow in Tytteenhanger, just outside of St. Albans. The beers there are supposed to be good and the pub does as far as I remember, good food.
The other guy with the conspiracy theory is just some nutter who randomly replies to people in the local groups. I assume that he/she has some mental health problem.

Go to
Some are made from the same identikit "vintage" pub plan: c.f.
and handy for the Holiday Express.
'Good pub' doesn't denote. Pubs are foul places for drunks and low-life.
our fave spot in wakefield ....
v helpful ta!
I heard the Barley Mow had closed, is it still open? I used to go there for the Old Rodger beer, so strong only served in half pints
