About This Pub
You know, chatting about the Green Man in Hemel Hempstead, it's one of those pubs that really pulls you in with its warm, homely feel and staff who go out of their way to make you comfortable – they're just so approachable and kind. It's brilliant for popping in with the dog or the family, thanks to all the dog-friendly spots and family events, plus that lovely beer garden is a real winner on a sunny afternoon. They've got a solid lineup of real ales and some classics like the Sunday roast that folks rave about, which makes it a go-to for a proper pub grub session. But, and I say this honestly as a mate would, the food isn't always spot on; I've seen reviews where things like the chicken burger were a letdown, more style than substance, and the veggie choices didn't quite measure up for some. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.1, it's got that reliable pub charm that makes it worth a visit – just maybe stick to the safer menu options and enjoy the atmosphere for what it is.

A couple of dishes, even the ones they claim are award-winning, haven't lived up to the hype and felt just average at best.

Atmosphere was nice looked very pleasant. Service was good friendly and kind. Food on the other hand was utter shit. My partner got a chicken burger and there was practically no chicken inside it just crisp and stale. I had an apparently an award-winning pie. It was not award-winning. It was Mid at best. The veg was rockhard and the mashed potato was like microwave mash. Gravy was good
Super dog friendly, electric car charger.
We had two rescue dogs with us and it was hot so we wanted to be inside. The staff were amazing. One of our dogs is very reactive and staff gave us space. He even calmed right down and lay down.
We had fries and drinks and the service was brilliant. Car charger great too. Really recommend this place!
Good food good service what else could you want.
Nice pub, dog friendly and fairly accessible for most wheelchair users, did us well for meeting friends just before Christmas. Food was decent - I enjoyed my steak sandwich very much but the vegetarian options were a little disappointing for others in the group. I liked the touch of being able to borrow a dog bed and water bowl.
I recently booked a large group Baby Shower here at the Green Man and we opted for the Afternoon Tea. I absolutely couldn’t recommend enough! We had a reserved private event space, all the tables were set out beautifully with fresh flowers, teas and coffee’s. The food was beyond delicious and the amount of food and portion sizes were extremely generous! Teresa and the team couldn’t do enough for us and made sure the day went perfectly. I would absolutely recommend the Afternoon Tea and it was perfect for a large group! Thanks again for having us we all had a brilliant day!
