Welcome to this landmark period pub set in the pretty village of Watton at Stone in rural Hertfordshire.

The pub’s origins date back to the 15th century and the story goes that Catholic priests hiding from Henry VIII’s guards during the Dissolution of the Monasteries would take refuge up the chimney of the huge inglenook fireplace that sits at the heart of the building.

Thankfully, no such terror haunts the village today - but come the winter months the pub, with huge logs burning in that historic hearth, offers visitors its own form of welcome refuge from the outside world!

There is no doubt that there is a special charm and atmosphere attached to a building that has seen so many pass over its threshold. The south-facing garden, enclosed fire-pit, Cow Shed dining huts, patio and heated terrace become a welcome addition during the summer months and ensures that The Bull is an attractive site for ‘all seasons’
