The Hare & Hounds, St. Albans
***
We've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks sorting out events for the St. Albans Food and Drink Festival, this Saturday (5th July 2008) sees our final event when Rohan our Head Chef is doing a chefs demo in front of the Town Hall.
***
What Mondays have been waiting for...the Hare and Hounds Quiz, every Monday from 8 loads of great prizes, don't let it pass you by.

Rohan the Chef and Manager of the Hare and Hounds is to appear on the flagship UKTV food programme Market Kitchen this week on 13th March at 7pm.
He appeared on the show with the two Fat Hairy Bikers who apparently couldn't get enough of his Fillet steak and Beetroot Rosti. Cooked with the finest ingredients from Hedges farm and Carpenters Nursery, just two of our fantstic local suppliers.
We'll be screening the show in the pub if you want to pop in and see it.

The perfect place to unwind after a long day at the office, or perhaps the ideal hiding place away from work.
Drop in and warm yourself by one of our fires, get yourself comfortable with the paper, and make yourself at home. For those that want more of a challenge we've got scrabble, jenga, and other board games.
During warm spells we've got a fanastic garden, probably one of the largest in St. Albans.
See you soon.
