The Brocket Arms - Welwyn Garden City

This is my favorite British pub of all time. It is a fantastic countryside pub with a long history, serving delicious hand-pulled ales and great food. The large fireplace with bench seats is the ideal spot to drink their amazing ales on cold nights. It doesn't get any better than this for a countryside pub. I would visit every night if there wasn't an ocean between us. The drive to this pub is definitely worth it.

My wife and I have visited this restaurant multiple times, and she has been even more often. This place is exactly what you would expect from a typical country pub. They offer a nice selection of real ales such as Brocket Bitter and Sharp's Doom Bar. The bar food is simple, reasonably priced (for a country pub in Hertfordshire), and usually well-prepared. They also have a slightly pricier restaurant, although I have not tried it yet. The area around the restaurant boasts some lovely walks, including visits to a few charming churches and Shaw's Corner. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a couple of drinks.
