Heron on the Lake
Heron on the Lake
I'm part of the Destination Inns family!
Quirky… beautiful…stunning… or so our guests tell us! This waterside retreat has been a McMullen pub since 2010.
Within the Heron boatyard, enjoy the delights of sitting at vintage work benches, surrounded by lit oil-drum fires, yacht paint pots and antique tools – all overlooking our very own gorgeous lake.
Designed to delight and intrigue, offering glorious food, seasonal specials, delicious wines, Hertfordshire’s finest craft ales, and a range of classic cocktails. It’s as charming and delightful in the winter as the summer.
P.S. Our splendid Angler’s Den function room with AV facilities, ideal for groups, meetings, or privacy, is available from early until late. If you’re interested in booking us for your event, please click Private Hire to find out more and get in touch!
The team look forward to seeing you soon.
