The Verulam in Saint Albans

Ah, The Verulam, what a gem of a pub in the middle of St Albans! From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, it's got this warm, homely vibe that makes you feel right at ease the moment you step in, with a beer garden that's just begging for a sunny day pint. The food really steals the show – those Sunday roasts and fresh British classics are spot on, and it's fantastic for families or if you're popping in with the dog, as everyone's made to feel welcome. The drinks selection is top-notch too, with a rotating lineup of beers that keeps things interesting, and little perks like discounted lunches add a nice touch. On the flip side, it does get heaving at peak times, so you might end up waiting a bit for service, and if you're not in the mood for straightforward pub grub, it might not wow you with variety. All in all, it's a solid choice for a proper British pub experience – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh any minor niggles!
