Ye Olde Fighting Cocks | Pub | Heartfordshire

Pub in St Albans

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, one of the oldest pubs in the UK was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Formerly a Pigeon coup used by monks, the original structure dates back to 793AD. Throughout the years, we have been a place of sanctuary and relaxation for locals and visitors alike. Because of the efforts of the previous publicans and custodians, the octagonal building has been wonderfully preserved. It’s unique.
