A rare true Free House for Ware. Cosy, grade II listed, timbered and with a lovely Inglenook fireplace, there is a smart and colourful small patio at the back - spot the crooked chimney. Sat at the foot of Hoe Lane, close to Ware train station, it is near Hertford Regional College and Scott's remarkable 18th Century shell-clad grotto (check for opening times). Two guest beers are usually sourced from Mighty Oak brewery or Timothy Taylor's. Evening closing times can be erratic depending on customer levels.
