Watford has no shortage of great boozers for a pint and perhaps a bite to eat.
We've rounded up the best pubs in different areas around the town to help you decide where to go next time you head out for a drink.

Recent review: "Nothing is done plain and simple and I love that! The service is fantastic - they are super responsive and friendly. They can train other establishments in the area I feel.
"The food is just divine! Oh the pleasure of a well-cooked, homemade meal. The portion sizes are huge and we had enough to take home with us.

Recent review: “Thank you all for our lovely family lunch at The Tudor today. All 18 pre ordered meals were beautifully cooked and served hot, and the hospitality shown to us from all who were working, was very much appreciated.
Please pass on my thanks too to the chef, and to the young lad who served us our lunch with a smile. Looking forward to visiting again soon."
