Welcome to The Wellington
The Wellington has always had its origins as the local
inn in this historic roman village since the early 13
hundreds. In the 17th and 18th centuries as a coaching
inn it became an important stopping off point for weary
travellers heading up the Great North Road; the famous
writer Samuel Pepys is said to have stayed here and
remarked that "he had had his worst nights sleep ever!"
Today The Wellington still sells home cooked food and wine to the
discerning locals though the setting has undergone a sympathetic
and romantic refurbishment, becoming a candle lit focal point of
village drinking and dining opposite the church.
Delicious food, served alfresco in the summer, made from
regionally sourced ingredients – great British food with a twist! |
• A carefully chosen team who bring alive our philosophy of
focusing on guest needs and giving the best customer
service in Hertfordshire.
• The wine offer provided and priced to allow guests to explore
both the quaffing and fine wines of
d’Arenberg and the champagnes of Bruno
Paillard all at amazing value – all by the
glass, half bottle or bottle.
• Chester Osborne, wine maker, suggests a
wine that compliments each course superbly.
Most importantly, we care what you think. We do ‘wow’ both on
the plate and in the glass and are determined that we will give you
a burning desire to return and bring your friends.
We look forward to welcoming you as our guest.
