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.
