The Three Hammers

Head down Watford Road towards the edge of town and you'll find The Three Hammers doing exactly what a neighbourhood pub should: serving decent food, pouring honest pints, and giving you reason to linger on a Friday night. It's part of the Ember Inns chain, which means consistency—no pretension, just a proper boozer with enough charm to feel like somewhere worth knowing. The kind of spot where regulars have their spot at the bar and newcomers feel welcome, whether you're after a quick drink or settling in for food that won't disappoint.
