Ye Olde Greene Manne

A small, quaint country pub in Hertfordshire equipped with an old-style stone driveway and a large well primed garden. The place is difficult to get to without a car, in fact close to impossible with buses running infrequently and no other transport links for miles. This is the appeal of the place, lost, relatively close to London yet separated. Entering, there is a small bar opposite the door facing the pub to the right and to the left the pub branches off into a small non-smoking area. Around the place are dotted various works of art and formidable memorabilia of the old area, an unlit open fire place and a few small tables with chairs to eat at. The place seems to specialise in Hertfordshire ales and doesn’t feel like an Ember Inn at all. In fact the place is too small to find a romantic corner and also not good for any kind of crowd. I doubt I was able to give it the impression it deserves as I have been told it is primarily a summer pub.

However since I gave it a winter visit I still felt a lick of it’s charm and overall it gets a 5/10
