An Old Knebworth pub has been named among the UK's best in a prestigious new list.
The Lytton Arms earned a place on The Good Food Guide’s 100 Best Pubs 2026, securing 94th spot in the national ranking.
James Nye, the managing director, said: "This is a huge honour, and we couldn’t be more delighted.
"It’s recognition of the whole team’s dedication to good old-fashioned, welcoming hospitality.
"A massive thank you to all our loyal customers for your continued support, we couldn’t do it without you."
The Good Food Guide praised the pub’s "generous hospitality," regularly changing real ales and "confident, straightforward cooking."
The review also highlighted slow-braised Knebworth Estate venison and beef, much-loved Sunday roasts and traditional puddings.
John Anderson, general manager, said: "This listing has left us reeling.
"We’re absolutely thrilled and very proud.
"It’s a huge testament to our incredible team and the warm hospitality we strive to deliver every day.
"Thank you to all our wonderful customers who voted for us.
"I feel like a proud father on results day."
The guide, in partnership with Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, celebrates the passion and craft that make great pubs the heart of their communities.
Also representing Hertfordshire in the guide was the Fox & Hounds in Barley ranked 36th, The Alford Arms in Fritshden ranked 72nd, and Dylans at The Kings Arms in St Albans which came 85th.
