Quick info
About Load Of Hay
Live music shares the space with the bar at Load Of Hay, a pub on Pinner Road in Watford that puts on gigs alongside regular drinking and dining service. The venue works as a bar, a pub and a restaurant, so a night out here can mean a drink, a meal or a set from a band. Dogs are welcome, which makes it an option for drinkers who arrive with one in tow.

Customer Review Summary
The chips draw the most enthusiasm, with one reviewer calling them the very best and praising their presentation. Close behind is the quiz night, where a lone server is credited with patiently handling the quizzers. Another describes a 70s and 80s live music evening with plenty of friendly people, calling it worth a visit. Others mention the rear garden and the quaint, bucolic surrounding area.
