Further Description
  • The earliest reference to the building is 1698. At that time it was known as “The two cottages at the stump”. The stump being a post at which horses would be rested. The building was a halfway point up the hill where carriage horses would stop for a drink, and the owners for a pint.Dick Turpin reportedly stayed here in 1742 before the last horse “Old Poll” was retired in 1938 and the stable, barn and horse trough were all removed.In October 2007, after huge amounts of care and attention, the Horse & Chains was reopened under its original name. It is now a fun, busy pub and a clear hit with local residents and run by Tom Aspey and his team. Tom has worked for the Modern Pub Dining group for a number of years now on various other projects and openings.Dylan Murray & Richard O’Connell, in partnership with David Newling Ward (owner of St Michael's Manor hotel in St Albans), own the Horse & Chains. They opened their second pub, the Swan @ Boxmoor, a great local pub with friendly professional staff and a lively warm atmosphere.Opening HoursPub: 12-11pm daily.
