The Six Templars - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in East Hertfordshire

Wetherspoons can be a bit hit and miss usually because of the locals rather than the building and staff. This is one of the better ones. It's right in the centre of the very historic Hertford town which has a better than usual population. The building is the old Hertford Working Men's Unionist Club dating back to the very early 1900s and as usual Wetherspoons have tastefully repurposed the building. It has an open courtyard area to the back with some covered area for the Coughing Nail Club members (smokers) when it's raining 😁 The food is top notch as usual and excellent value as are the drinks. I dont drink so take advantage of the 99p unlimited hot drinks, all day long, option. My tips and tricks are. Parking before 6pm is not easy near the pub but I go to the Sainsbury's superstore car park at Hartham Ln, Hertford SG14 1RD. As you drive in a matrix board flashes up your number plate and time of entry. You have up to 3 hours parking with the price rising to £2.50 for the 3 hours. If you spend over a certain amount in the shop you get a voucher and your parking is free. The pay machines are in the entry lobby. I set a 2hr 40 minute reminder on my phone to be safe but the pub us only a 5 minute walk. With the shop entrance on your right you can walk straight up the dead end road to the road you drove in via (theres only one way in and out to drive to the store up to this point) then at the end turn left. At the traffic light junction turn left and cross over and the pub is on your right. Theres another route through the pedestrianised shopping street diagonally opposite to the pub towards the left. Oncevinside the pedestrian bit walk to the first junction which is like a staggered cross roads in the paved street, turn left, walk over the narrow bridge and take the footpath to the left. This takes you alongside the water way from the pond and emerges in the corner of the Sainsburys car park. My suggestion is go out via the road route and venture back through the pedestrianised streets until you know your way about. After 6pm various bays and single yellow lines become free but beware of the bay almost opposite and slightly to the left of the pub, it's for taxis only. The bay by the bridge as well as the single yellow line in front of the theatre are fair game. If you're having breakfast you can get the 99p coffee option and peruse the menu with your coffee as its not included in the brekky price. However after brekky time which officially ends at 11:30 the main menu kicks in and drinks including the never ending coffees/hot drinks are included in the meal price. The pub is popular throughout the day but not rowdy or troublesome but if you want a quiet sit down and chat go upstairs where there are some tables and chairs looking out through the big upstairs windows over the street outside. Take time to look across the road at The Green Dragon Hotel opposite and wonder what it must have been like when it was open and in its heyday. A beautiful classic building.

I hope this all helps and...

I am really disgusted with this pub. I visited on Friday for my works Christmas do. The downstairs disabled toilet was unlocked and after a man left the toilet, myself and a friend went in. I am epileptic and do not go into public toilets alone incase of seizures. When we were in the toilet, there was a knock at the door (which we thought was the group of boys that were standing right outside), we said hello but there was no answer so proceeded to use the toilet. As myself and my friend came out- the security man was standing there and told us he was throwing us out because his manager told him too. I questioned why and he said because you two went into the toilet together. I explained that I am epileptic and cannot use the toilet alone and I did say that there is no sign or rule up anywhere to state that two girls cannot use the toilet together. I asked to speak to the manager that had said this and he said I will get her down and she will talk to you but you need to leave. My friend and I stood outside talking to the security guard until the rude manager appeared. I explained the same thing to her that I was epileptic and she said well that doesn’t matter, there is nothing physically wrong with you. Absolutely disgusting and discriminating. I said I have my medical card in my bag and again I got told that I don’t look disabled. I questioned if I was in a wheelchair would I then be able to have someone in with me to which she replied yes because there’s a disability. She went on to say that she knocked on the door because we were clearly doing something. Which yes- we were using the toilet. I apologised and said that we thought it was the group of boys and we did say hello but had no reply. I made a point of saying that there are no notices within that pub that says two people are not allowed in a cubicle and her reply was it would be the same if it was two blokes. I’m absolutely disgusted with the amount of discrimination and rudeness I received that night. I have visited that pub multiple times and I cannot believe what came out of the managers mouth. She should not be a manager if she’s going to be discriminating someone especially because they look fine so clearly haven’t got anything. Absolute vile human being. However the security guard seemed apologetic once I had explained to him. I will not be going in her ever again and I urge others...

Went in Sunday afternoon with my wife on her Birthday. It was our 1st drink I ordered a pint of carlsberg and a pint of carlsberg top. There was a short delay barmansaid that they have to change the barrel. He asked me where we were sitting at which I pointed out and said he would bring the drinks over shortly. 5 minutes went by so I return to the bar and enquiring about what what's happening. They didn't seem very sure but said they were having problems with the carlsberg. Another 7 or 8 minutes went by a return to the bar and still couldn't serve my Drinks. Gave it another 5 minutes return the bar said he had done one pint but was struggling with the pint still. It was coming out pretty slowly but he got a halfway then stopped and muttard something and just walked off. It had been about 20-minutes no since 2 pints. Being an X BB arperson I decided I could just reach over and pour the half pint left myself which I did and return to our table with the two pints. About 5 minutes later we were come fronted by the manager and an assistant who said we had to leave the pub because it was not company policy for me to pour my own drink. I explain to him the whole situation but he did not want to listen. He then said he was calling the police. One of the staff snatched are half-finished drinks and walked off. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. We had paid for the for the drinks and we were only trying to rectify the situation no harm or loss had been suffered by anybody. I asked the manager Tyler how long he had been in his job he said 7 months. I said he had a lot to learn and we left. An absolutely disgraceful way to treat people. I am putting an official complaint with wetherspoons see what they Not a lot probably such a shame because it is a nice pub and Hertford is a...
