Reviews for Verulam Arms

Gobsmackingly Good NIght!

Intrigued by the lure of Olde St Albans, we ventured out of the lovely city centre and stumbled across the Verulam Arms. We really enjoyed their thoughtful hospitality, locally sourced produce and well kept beer. We'll definitely be back! [Aug 11]

Too many items off

On a Saturday night, we were given menus, talked about what we were going to have, got ready to make our order only to be told that this item was off, this item there was only one serving left (fish of the day). In fact it would have been a blessing if the lamb kofta had been off, but that's another story. Friendly efficient staff did their best, but the food was overall disappointing, the pork ribs being the notable exception among a limited choice of main courses. Desserts not on the menu were offered, 3 of us tried to order the treacle tart, only one portion left! We hope this was a one-off disappointment and will try it again, and they should expand main courses to include alternatives to fish and red meat maybe. [Jul 11]

Heavenly Sausage Sandwich!

Well after a period of closure I was thrilled to see The Verulam Arms re-open. The fact that it is better than ever just makes it extra special. I have dined there several times in recent weeks, but my biggest surprise came when just popping in for a pint and a quick sandwich on Saturday afternoon. I tested out the guest ale, which was a Tring based real ale called the Jolly Ebeneezer! That was a pleasant surprise but even more so was the sausage sandwich, which was particularly impressive! I now make the Verulam Arms a regular haunt a couple of times a week and cannot recommend the place highly enough. Welcome Back! [Dec 10]
