Saracens Head
I'm part of the Social Specialist family!
This lively town centre pub on the banks of the River Lea has been a McMullen house since 1938.
Step right off Ware High Street, escape the crowds, relax and unwind on the waterside terrace where you can dine alfresco when the sun permits.
With tasty freshly baked pizzas, proper burgers and hearty pub classics available alongside a collection of world and small batch gins, London craft beers, local ale, credible coffee, fine wines and simply delicious cocktails, the Saracen’s Head’s just the pit stop for every occasion.
The Cellar Bar is the hidden gem at the Saracens Head. Pop downstairs to see live music and entertainment, or scout it out to host your own perfect party. 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.
