| I have very mixed feelings about this pub. The landlord is a wonderful gent who knows and keeps a vast array of good ales and ciders at very reasonable prices and I would drink and eat there if it were not for the downside. The landlady is a tyrant who is ignorant and downright rude and I hate watching the cats walk up and down the bar as I fear what goes on in the kitchen. There is a strict no music, no games policy here which can make it a bit of a sterile environment. There's lots of talk of bait and rods and good fishing but some very friendly and warm characters. Being only one of three pubs in Hitchin to serve Stowford, I'd very much like to drink there again as The Sunrunner has disappeared up it's own rear end, however the landlady scares me off.

| Note to self: make sure that you're not driving next time you go to this pub! It was my turn though. Excellent and welcoming pub just out of the town centre. The friendly staff are very good at customer service and knowledgeable about the drinks that they sell. Had a pint of the Tring Mansion mild which was great - and look longingly at the other seven or so beers knowing that I couldn't have them. They had Oakham Attilla (7.5%) which I love as well!! Oh well, next time.... The cider selection was good with a perry on offer too. My wife had Gwynt-y-Draig Black Dragon and her friend had Millwhites Hedgelayer which they both enjoyed. The food was very good too with a large selection for veggies. I had the Mushroom and Red Bean burger with chili cheesy chips which was very nice. I'm looking forward to going back again sometime soon - on the bus though. littledrummerboy - 9 Apr 2012 10:10 |

| Stopped in here last year, fantastic range of ales and friendly feel. Food excellent value. Totally unexpected find on a mini-roundabout at the edge of town but certainly worth a trip. OldRogue - 11 Oct 2011 13:28 |
