Blacksmiths Arms PhotoIn the centre of St Albans you will find Blacksmiths Arms, formerly known as Hogs Head which was refurbished in 2009.  A fantastic traditional pub, the inside is open plan divided into separate zones for Sport at one end, a chill out zone in the centre and an eating area at the other, although you can dine throughout the pub.  Meals are served all day from a varied menu with the food offer being very popular.  Being slightly off the circuit, we are more of a meeting pub in the evening, a trouble free, female friendly venue which is a good place to spend a night out without any hassle.  There is a great mix of all ages 18+ and everyone gets on.  Why not join us next time you are in town and enjoy a meal or drink in sociable surroundings?

When you visit the pub please let the staff know you have seen it on Pub Explorer.
