Cask and Stillage (Potters Bar - Hertfordshire)

Cask and Stillage

When a team of loud, beer-bellied louted locals literally shout at you when you enter a pub in between singing the worst hits off of an knock-off jukebox, you feel unwelcome and slightly scared. This venue certainly has atmosphere, but I wouldn't call it comfortable. From the outside the place doesn't look very large but it canters off into a raised platform to the right with a pool tables and games machines and narrows off at the back into a covered back garden. Darts are also available. The experiences one can expect in this pub are young teenage girls drunkenly staggering in off the road in broad daylight to throw up in the toilets, only to get thrown out afterwards; the most vile language you have ever heard coming out of the mouth of a father of three with young-uns at the table; and young adult males slamming 50 pence pieces on the pool table with such force I fear that by the time you go to visit the pub, it will just be a hole in the ground.

Overall a truely authetic Potters bar effect pub. Avoid unless you are looking for some kind of fight or if you have lost the will to live, but hey, they do have darts, and it is a quaint building! 4/10
