History & Character
The Wellington’s story stretches back centuries. Built from three older inns, parts of the building date as far as the 11th century. Guests today can still see original timbers, cobbled floors, and even traces of the Roman road that once ran beneath the bar. This rich past is matched by modern hospitality, making The Wellington a landmark in Welwyn village.

Our riverside garden, views of St Mary’s Church, and welcoming terrace make The Wellington a gathering place for the community. From family meals to large parties, we cater for groups of all sizes, dogs included. With free parking on-site and attractions like Hatfield House, Knebworth, and the Welwyn Roman Baths nearby, we’re perfectly placed to explore Hertfordshire.
