The Green Man in Hitchin

You know, when I think about The Green Man, it just brings a smile to my face – it's one of those pubs that really captures the essence of a traditional British spot, tucked away near Hitchin. The food stands out as a real highlight; folks rave about the Sunday lunches, with roasts cooked to perfection and portions that leave you more than satisfied. Pair that with some top-notch real ales, and you've got a winning combination for a laid-back afternoon or evening. The atmosphere is spot on too, whether you're snuggling up by the open fire on a cold day or enjoying the enclosed garden when the sun's out – it's versatile and always feels inviting. The team there are absolute stars, bending over backwards to ensure everyone has a good time, as seen in stories of special events like wakes being handled with such care. On the flip side, it's not perfect; the main door might pose a bit of a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, but they're on hand to sort it out straight away. And while the hours can be a bit murky, once you're in, it's well worth the visit. All in all, it's a lovely place for catching up with mates or family, offering that genuine community feel without any pretence – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.
