Can anyone advise a good real-ale pub for Sunday lunch within striking
distance of St Albans?

As I've got someone to drive me there I prefer to go to a country pub
rather than a city/town pub which I could visit anytime using public
transport.

Thanks in advance.

It's a decent pub I'm after, what are sheds to do with anything?

I used to go to the Barley Mow in Tytteenhanger, just outside of St. Albans.
The beers there are supposed to be good and the pub does as far as I
remember, good food.

The other guy with the conspiracy theory is just some nutter who randomly
replies to people in the local groups. I assume that he/she has some mental
health problem.

Go to http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/ and search for St Albans. Have always
found the food quality excellent. Most have a selection of real ales to
chose from. All do Sunday lunch and have roaring log fires ......

'Good pub' doesn't denote. Pubs are foul places for drunks and
low-life.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

I heard the Barley Mow had closed, is it still open?
I used to go there for the Old Rodger beer, so strong only served in half
pints
