Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

  • "Lovely quaint pub with beams in the ceiling."
  • "Set in the Hertfordshire countryside the place has the look and feel of a large, classic village pub with a beer garden perfectly capable of seating a hundred."
  • "Although it's a chain pub it's hard to tell and the atmosphere is very cosy and welcoming."
  • "This lovely little pub in the middle of Elstree and Radlett is perfect for the lazy weekend lunch."
  • "A beautiful and clean pub... unfortunately service is very bad."
  • "The pub looked lovely and traditional on the inside, very smart and had a log fire as well."

  • "Each time this has been the case, the restaurant/bar area is usually full of empty tables."
  • "Visited on a busy Sunday afternoon. Felt like a typical chain pub."
  • "The area is fairly quiet which makes the pub a nice spot to visit."
  • "Inside the battleaxes is nice and well kept. The garden outside however is another story. Unemptied ashtrays, cigarette ends strewn over the paving and the grassed area."
  • "Pub is pretty to look at and the garden is too hence why I have given 1 star probably only in summer time keeping that in mind."
