The Brocket Arms - Welwyn Hatfield

What an amazing place. We found it completely by accident whilst looking for somewhere to break the journey home from Anglesey to the South Coast. The team were hosting the local shoot, alongside a village Trick Or Treat extravaganza when we arrived! So lovely to see a pub that is truly still at the heart of the local community. Despite the fact the staff were really busy, and the pub was overflowing, we were made very welcome, the room was amazing, as was dinner, and nothing was too much trouble. Now we have found you, we WILL be back!! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

Delicious roast for Sunday lunch! Gorgeous sunny garden with friendly and smiling staff. The walks around here are stunning. My favourite pub.

What a lovely, friendly pub. Delicious food and a warm atmosphere. A real gem. Various activities for other evenings too: bingo and pub quizzes but super relaxed and good value.

If you're after a proper English pub, with a tasty menu of fresh food and a couple of daily seasonal specials, you'd go a long way to beat The Brocket, a pub widely famed for it's lovely location and traditional friendly vibe ...beer garden for summer and a cosy inglenook fireplace as soon as there's a chill in the air. It's cosy and comfortable rather than glossy, with boots and dogs welcomed. The menu is as it should be if you want fresh not huge but something for everyone the Mushroom and Tarragon Wellington is the most delicious veggie winter warmer, and I love the Chicken Caesar salad or the Roasted Med Veg with Pesto and Feta and a lovely glass of Provence Rosé...my husband chooses the Fish and Chips or the Steak...we often pop in when we don't fancy cooking, or to meet friends for a relaxing drink supper...it can sometimes be literally packed to the (not very high! rafters esp on a Sunday, or as country pubs can be, quiet and relaxed with dog walkers locals over nighters or local wedding guests ...but it always welcomes everyone. The Sunday Lunches are fabulous book ahead... The only thing wrong with this place is once you settle in it's hard to get out!

The experience I had here was top notch I came with my family on a Sunday and was greeted with a great smile soon they asked me where I would like to sit I chose a lovely and comfortable space right beside the fire after a little while we were ask for are order when kids at the table were fussing about how they didn’t want anything on the menu a kind and help full waitress was there to help and give the best recommendations to them possible the food was exquisite it was as though I had bitten into heaven I had ordered a beef roast it was delectable. This pub is one of the greatest I’ve ever been to. I must say well done a 10 out of 10 review, you should definitely go and visit!
