Alford Arms

A child and dog friendly pub serving food with WiFi and a garden in Hemel Hempstead.

Details

Find Frithsden and you'll find the award-winning Alford Arms: a pubby gem nestling in its secluded wooded valley. The great Ashridge forest lies brooding on its doorstep and the broad sweep of the Chiltern Hills is its backdrop. Ramblers drop wearily out of the woods and swear they have chanced upon Brigadoon while locals and regulars swap a knowing glance.

Classic English Ale 4 The 3 Brewers Ltd

We've created a modern classic here and we're pretty confident that you'll agree.

Tasting Notes: A deep amber colour, a light hoppy aroma and a rich and rounded malty taste balanced by subtle hoppiness, to give a supremely clean, smooth and refreshing ale
Side Pocket for a Toad 3.6 Tring Brewery Company Ltd

Golden, hoppy and packed with flavour.

Tasting Notes: Unmistakable citrus notes from only the best Cascade hops balanced with a floral aroma and crisp dry finish make this straw coloured ale a fantastic session beer. Available in 500ml bottles.
