English Ale Festival

English Ale Festival in celebration of St George.

Come and take part in our new English Ale Festival, running until the 28th May. As well as a number of English cask ales you can request us to source locally brewed beers! In addition to superb beers we have launched a newsletter with lots of helpful information. You can also take part in our collector scheme, whereby if you purchase 9 festival bitters you will be entered into a free prize draw to win a limited edition glass tankard engraved with the Festival logo.

REFURBISHMENT

We re-opened 19th June 2007 following a major refurbishment. We are very proud of our new look and have increased the al fresco area by three fold. You must come and see the changes for yourself.

Young Pretender Photo

The Young Pretender, formerly known as Millers, is easy to find being on the main road between Hemel Hempstead and Watford where the M1 meets the M25.  Fully refurbished to a high standard in June 2007, we are very proud of the beautiful new look.  Inside is open plan with an elegant  contemporary style and mixed seating arrangements from carver chairs to bar stools.  There is a pleasant small back area with a covered pergola and Romany style drapes up the side.  The fantastic new decking area has been extended and now offers a massive area so you can enjoy a refreshing drink or meal throughout the summertime.  Food has been upgraded to a daily carvery and bistro style menu.  The carvery offers up to four roasts and a selection of fresh seasonal vegetables.  Alternatively, you can dine from the menu, with cooked to order dishes prepared in-house using fresh seasonal produce.  Choose to dine throughout the pub with full table service offered, (although you still serve your own carvery meal,) or outside with table service upon payment at the bar for your meal.  Open from early in the morning, it is ideal for business people or early risers to enjoy breakfast, sit with a cup of coffee and read the daily papers or do some work on the laptop.  People passing through can book themselves in at the Premier Inn next door, which is clean and comfortable with everything you need for a good night's sleep.  A relaxed, informal atmosphere, with a friendly helpful team awaits you at the new Young Pretender.
