The Angel Vaults Inn - JD Wetherspoon in Hitchin

Ah, The Angel Vaults Inn – it's one of those classic Wetherspoon spots that you can always rely on for a cheeky pint without emptying your wallet. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place does a top job with its affordable drinks and a solid menu of pub favourites that keep things simple and satisfying. The stylish interior and that nice beer garden really add to the charm, making it ideal for a casual catch-up with mates or even a relaxed afternoon. The staff seem generally helpful, and it's got that welcoming feel that makes you want to linger. On the downside, though, it's not all smooth sailing – some folks have mentioned waiting ages for their orders, especially if you're using the app, which can be a bit of a letdown when you're parched. And let's be honest, it does get rammed on weekends, turning up the volume and making it harder to find a spot or have a proper chat. Still, if you're up for a lively, no-fuss pub experience and don't mind planning around the crowds, it's definitely worth a visit for the bargains alone. All in all, it's a solid choice for us pub enthusiasts looking for good times without the hefty price tag.
