Been to this pub regularly when in Hitchin, and although it is a Green King pub (red flag for real ale drinkers) this pub is actually fantastic and always has at least 4 Real Ales on, at least 2 are independent and have always been in very good condition when we have been. TVs showing sport and we caught a live band there once and it was a fantastic atmosphere. There is a barn out the back with a bigger TV for sports, and a pizza kitchen in the (very big) garden

Went for an early lunch on Saturday. There was a table reserved from 2:30pm but the staff were fine with us using it until then. We had the salciccia pizza (Dirty Dough) and buttermilk tenders (BLC) and a couple of glasses of very nice organic rosé. The food, service and wine were all brilliant. Highly recommend. Would have added a photo, but unfortunately it would only be of empty plates!

My wife booked a table at this place as we were meeting friends, I'd never heard of it so I read some of the reviews & it wasn't good but I thought that's try it,...wow, lovely food, great service, friendly staff,my only gripe is its very

We returned,having been away for 8 years. The Vic was rammed on a friday night as I remembered it eight years ago.Outside appeared even larger with the addition of street food kiosks and more seating. A mix of drinkers and fast food diners. Excellant choice of beers with local brewers, Tring piggeries especially good. Staff aways giving 100%. Despite heaters, outside it was still very cold sitting on the outside benches. Only negative for me was the amount of children under thirteen and babies who are being exposed to adult pastimes like swearing and smoking.At least my parents had the good sense to leave me at home with a child sitter and go and enjoy themselves in the adult world on their own.

Lovely pub, great staff. Lots of nice areas to sit inside and out. Chips were divine ?
The bar staff worked so hard during the afternoon serving many people. Well done

Food was incredible, we'll be back to try the pizza next time! Unfortunately the tables are packed in so we were constantly being knocked into as people tried to get past our table on the way to the toilet. It also meant it was difficult to have a conversation.

A lovely little gem on a pub, lovely and cozy inside with a large and covered garden. One of the highlights are the two food brands serving food most days at peak times. I had a burger and buffalo fries, the burger was great and juicy with crispy bacon and a good quality bun which is a often over looked item, and the buffalo fries were crispy and spicy with a dollop of creamy blue cheese dressing on top. Unfortunately these are also the reason for the four stars, they were completely drenched in buffalo sauce, almost as if the fries were the cruton to my buffalo soup.Did I finish them, yes! I don't like sending food back and waiting for a replacement, but I hope that more care is taken in future as if this had been a sprinkle rather than a drowning it would be a five star meal.
