A Frithsden pub has been named Hertfordshire Dining Pub of the Year in the Good Pub Guide 2013.
The Campaign for Real Ale gave the accolade to The Alford Arms in its new guide.
The guide says: “This pretty Victorian pub has a chic interior, good food from an imaginative menu, and a thoughtful wine list.
“Standing by a village green and surrounded by lovely National Trust woodland it’s usually full to the brim with cheerful diners.”
The guide came out last month.
