Situated adjacent to the Odyssey cinema, this independent Grade II-listed pub reopened in 2015 after significant renovation and now has a modern interior feel plus a large and pleasant garden which includes a heated marquee. The pub stocks a rotating range of cask beers and strives to include at least one Hertfordshire ale - discount is available for CAMRA members. Traditional cider is also stocked. The pub is well known for its good quality menu of British classic dishes and Sunday roasts. It hosts occasional brewery take overs and restaurant pop-ups with speciality menus. A well-attended quiz is held every Tuesday, with a film specific quiz on the last Wednesday of each month in concert with the adjacent cinema. Music nights are also held on the first Wednesday of each month. There is an annual Summer Beer Festival held in June/July with other ad hoc beer festivals hosted throughout the year..
Historic Interest
Originally the Alma, the pub changed its name due to the nearby (now closed but preserved) railway station on the old St Albans to Hatfield line. The pub underwent a major renovation in 2014/15 which included the removal of its old central semi-circular bar and installation of a relocated replacement at one end of the building.
