Speckled Hen PhotoThe Speckled Hen, formerly The Bunch of Cherries, is the new flagship bar for Greene Kings' new concept urban hot spot.  Located in a residential area about a mile from St Albans city centre and not far from Hatfield. The pub originally built in 1960 was the first in St Albans.  Now it has an urban modern style and traditional atmosphere.  There is a conservatory where children are permitted during the day; this can also be used as a function room for private parties if required.  People from all walks of life come here, many to order a meal from the new main menu which is extremely popular. We serve modern meals which complement the style of the The Speckled Hen has become the place to see and be seen.  Don't forget to pop in next time you are passing.  You will be given a very friendly welcome by this relaxed, helpful team.

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