About This Pub

Ah, The Farm pub – it's one of those places that really captures the essence of a relaxed countryside escape in St Albans, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this beautiful scenery that makes it perfect for catching up with friends over a drink, especially when the sun's out and you're enjoying a decent selection of brews at fair prices. The host sounds like a proper gem, adding to that friendly atmosphere. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses; a few folks have mentioned it getting chilly inside, which could spoil the mood on a cooler day, and the drinks being limited to cans or bottles at £5 a pop might feel a tad steep for what you get. Service isn't always spot on, and there are issues with the facilities, like not all the toilets being up and running. Still, with a solid 4.3 rating from those who've been, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area, just pop in during those brief opening hours and keep your expectations balanced – it's got that rustic charm, but it's not without its quirks.

Cons
  • It can get freezing cold inside, which puts a bit of a dampener on things.
  • Only cans or bottles are available, and they're a bit pricey at £5 each – not ideal for a casual pint.
