Known for many years as the "Skew Bridge" in honour of the unusual railway crossing next to it, the pub regained its original name after its most recent refurbishment. Now a modern-style gastropub, it nevertheless offers a warm and inviting environment to drinkers and a choice of real ales. The pub has good outdoor space, the garden having a tented canopy with patio heaters, and it sits on the edge of Harpenden Common.
