Little Alpine Ltd

You're heading out to Patchetts Green, past the everyday Watford sprawl, and suddenly you're sitting in a pub that knows exactly what it's doing. Little Alpine turns The Three Compasses into somewhere genuinely special—the kind of place where fondue isn't a gimmick but the whole point. The setup is intimate without being fussy; you're cooking alongside your mates, sharing pots of melted cheese and proper Swiss wines. It's the sort of experience that makes you feel like you've escaped to the Alps for an evening, except you're still within reach of the town centre.
