16 Abbey Mill Lane, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL3 4HE
Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a uniquely historic establishment in St Albans, housed in an octagonal building with roots reaching back to 793AD. Originally a pigeon coop used by monks, it has been a sanctuary and gathering place for centuries and is noted in Guinness records for its age and preservation. The pub combines traditional pub fare with modern culinary innovation, led by a Head Chef who creates daily specials alongside an award-winning regular menu. A dedicated cellar man and locally sourced wines underscore the landlord's commitment to quality. The venue is equally known for its live music programme, hosting open mic nights, EP launches, full bands, and the annual Famous Fighters festival, with all live music kept free of entry charges.
