These two characterful 16th and 17th century timber barns were dismantled and transported to St Albans from elsewhere in Hertfordshire in the early and middle 20th century, joined together and then for many years run as tea-rooms. Converted into a JD Wetherspoon pub by in 2005, the timber construction is largely exposed to view and there are several drinking areas and a wide range of real ales on offer. Food is available all day with early morning breakfasts.
