Could you run this Hertfordshire pub?

The Crown is a picturesque, rural pub nestled in the village of Newgate Street, near Cuffley in Hatfield civil parish. Conveniently located within easy reach of Hertford and just minutes from Cheshunt and the M25, it offers the perfect blend of countryside charm and accessibility.

The pub and location

Set in a prime spot on the village road, The Crown boasts a welcoming side beer garden, ideal for enjoying drinks in the sunshine. With 15 parking spaces, it’s a great destination for visitors looking to explore the surrounding countryside.

Although only 30 minutes from London, the pub is surrounded by thousands of acres of woodland and open countryside. The village sits along the Hertfordshire Way, offering miles of scenic footpaths, cycling routes, and bridleways making it a popular stop for outdoor enthusiasts.

Inside, you’ll find an inviting open-plan bar and dining area, separated by a cozy open fire, with space for up to 50 covers. The garden and patio are a big hit with guests, and the pub itself is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside.

Accommodation

The private accommodation offers four bedrooms, a kitchen and lounge.
