Chieftain

I'm part of the Mac's Classic Pubs family!

Food Served Parking Dog Friendly Wheelchair Accessible Garden or outside area

Formerly known as the Woodman, The Chieftain has been flying the McMullen flag continuously since 1924.

It was once a vast ale house selling over 1,450 barrels in 1939 – roughly the number of meals we sell in a week these days. How times change! Recently refurbished to bring it’s true character to life, the Chieftain is just a stone’s throw from the centre of Welwyn Garden City. Whether you’re dining alfresco on the heated patio or inside by one of the roaring fires, our fabulous, friendly team make this the perfect local for eating, drinking and being merry.

The team look forward to seeing you soon.
