The Colney Fox, a country pub in St Albans

We’ve got everything you need from a country pub near you. 

The Colney Fox has been around a while and although there are no records pre dating the 1940's, it is thought that it was originally used as a boy's school. In the 1940's and 1950's it was called The Watersplash Hotel, a venue complete with, restaurant and swimming pool. Now restored and renamed, The Colney Fox is still full of heritage and tradition.

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

Our ivy covered inn is a pleasurable refreshment halt for walkers following the banks of the River Colne, those exploring the nearby nature reserve and for visitors to Willows Farm Village, a unique rural retreat.
