Alford Arms, The Description
This bright, modern country place with a good emphasis on the division between being a pub and quality eating is located just on the edge of Ashridge Forest, a must for walkers. Relaxed and bustling, with a good carte and some very alluring specials, so you get plenty of choice.
Expect interesting twists on old favourites, like crispy Oxfordshire pork belly and black pudding 'roly poly' with scrumpy gravy or inventive new dishes with starters such as scallop and plum tomato tarte tatin with wilted rocket and brown butter dressing. A European wine list includes half bottles and a great range of 'stickies'.

Your Reviews of Alford Arms, The
Rob P (29 June 2008)
A friend of ours re-introduced us to this pub and restaurant. We had visited this place for a drink a few times when we lived in the area and had then quite forgotten about it. This has to be one of the best restaurants in the Hemel Hempstead area. However, the price guide of £35 per head is about right. This is definitely somewhere to go for that special occasion.
You'd never find it if you didn't know it was there to go looking, yet it was packed on the sunny Saturday lunchtime we visited - lots of outside seating plus plenty of tables indoors. The food was quite superb, the portions were perhaps a little on the small side and no vegetables arrived with the meal, so order side dishes if you think this is a problem. The starters and desserts were fantastic. Check out the online menu, which looks just like the one we used yesterday. For dessert I chose the cheese with malt loaf and tomato relish. As interesting as it sounds, but I loved it! This is a fantastic restaurant and highly recommended.

The Alford Arms is in an absolutely beautiful location, nestled in the tiny village (hamlet?) of Frithsden. Well run, good food; simply one of the best restaurants to visit if you live in Hemel Hempstead, as I do. I even had my wedding lunch in the restaurant.
