Green Man

A really ‘honest’ local, proper pub! I’m not a local, rather an occasional visitor, but nevertheless I’m instantly at home with the friendly service and village banter.

Good selection of well kept ales and excellent food. Competitions, quiz nights etc are essential for maintaining the community feel - and this place does a great job in doing this.

EDIT: Maybe this is the first review/update since the refurbishment and new Landlords!

Love the refurbishment - sympathetically done to retain a ‘locals’ feel; lovely new seating, carpet and fresh paintwork. Lovely conservatory and rear garden too.

Same great real ales - most served straight from the barrel in the cellar!

Opening up the bar, adding a glass door to the cellar and clear glass at the entrance lets in light and gives a feeling of more space.

Good job - and the new Landlords were very welcoming!

FURTHER EDIT: Had Sunday Roast for the first time here today - good quality, well cooked and good portion size. Shall do this again!

It was a Sunday and we were out for a walk with friends and decided to get lunch before the walk home. Basically we stumbled upon the Green Man pub in Sandridge, nr StAlbans. We had always known it was there but had never ventured inside. But we are so glad we did. There’s a lovely area out the back where you like out over fields and cows grazing. Is was Sunday and they had a bbq. We had burgers and hotdogs with a couple of portions of chips on the side. The food was cooked and served beautifully. Also so 3 delicious caske ales to try.

Never get enough of this pub.

Top bar staff.
Great customers.
Great owners and hosts a family team.

A pub for family and mates for drinks, chat, comrades, atrad public house, Ale house

A fantastic cellar man, a master of modesty keeps the beer cellar on point.
Beer is from the cask and the bar staff leave the small bar counter top to pour from the temprature controlled cellar, on view through the glass doors,

Top atmosphere mid week or weekends,.
Beers after work, 100%.
Beers on a Friday night, 100 percent,
Saturday lunch or evening, 100%.
Sundays too good for words, from Autumn through to Summer.

Every season marked by the sunshine and shadows each cast across the fields at the rear. The moon shadows too.

A great tented outdoor seating area and also open space with tables.

A 100 percent dog friendly pub. Cyclists much accomadated and welcome I noted.

The pub has great live music events which draw the village and beyond together with just a simple chalkboard for advertising.

The regular community charity fund raising events are a great credit to all the regulars and the publicians.

The weekly quiz and poker night much valued and supported.

The hosts are modest in their achievement in saving a great pub.

Long live the Green Man!

Great find, we received a warm welcome.
Real ale was in fantastic condition, very enjoyable.
Sunday lunch was also a sublime experience.
Proper homely meal, tasty and well presented.
A wonderful atmospheric pub, very friendly.
Highly recommended.

First visit here, and weren’t sure what to expect - result, very good pub standards and definitely good value. Chips were perfect, portions generous and all tasty. We will be coming back soon.

Lovely small, well-decorated, and stylish. A great pub feel. Small quiet room at the back. A big marquee behind that. A ground-floor cellar is visible to the customers. It has a great feel to it.

The staff and locals are welcoming, friendly and easy to chat to. Enjoyed every minute there.

What a great pub they make a delicious Sunday lunch, excellent pizza in the evening and the Pies at lunchtime are very tasty indeed and the bonus is if you, like me enjoy a pint of real ale you are in for a treat 😋

Cosy, traditional pub with friendly service. Lovely sausage & fried onion sandwich with very fresh side salad, nice pint of Guinness & Moretti, thanks.
