Nag’s Head, Bishop’s Stortford
I'm part of the Chicken & Grill family!
An Art Deco treasure designed by E.B. Musman in 1936 and a McMullen pub since 2010, welcome to Chicken & Grill No. 2!
Art Deco and proud, this distinctively individual pub is one of McMullen’s now locally famous Chicken & Grill pubs, which are uniquely and individually designed with service that’s personally crafted to suit you.
Enjoy a drink in the bar, dine in our restaurant or book our private dining area, perfect for a feast of an occasion for up to 20 guests. Our fayre includes freshly spit-roasted chicken, fabulous ice cream sundaes, locally brewed beers, cocktails and our favourite wines – all to be enjoyed by our roaring fires or alfresco in our summer sun soaked garden and patio – and your little munchkins will enjoy the climbing frame too!
Our event space is ideal for groups, parties or meetings. It’s available from early until late so 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.
