The owner of a Herts pub is “delighted” after it was named one of the best in the UK.
Dylans at The Kings Arms in St Albans ranked 85th in The Good Food Guide’s Top 100 Pubs.
It was one of four Hertfordshire venues on the list.
The guide called the George Street pub a “blueprint for what a local pub should be”, praising its friendly hospitality and seasonal menu.
Sean Hughes, owner of Dylans, said: “We are delighted to be included in this year’s top 100 pubs. In a country with around 45,000 pubs this is a real achievement for our team and I’m very proud of all of them.”
“A big thank you to Sam Jones, our general manager, and our head chef, John Everett, for this achievement, as well as our brilliant team.”
“I'm really proud that The Kings Arms continues to be one of Hertfordshire’s top food pubs, and if you haven't tried us, please book in.”
More than 20,000 public nominations shaped the rankings, which Good Food Guide editors judged on food, drink, hospitality and community spirit.
Other Hertfordshire pubs recognised include the Fox & Hounds in Barley (36th), The Alford Arms in Frithsden (72nd) and The Lytton Arms in Old Knebworth (94th).
The guide celebrates venues combining excellent cooking with a strong sense of place and character.
