The Garden

The Trooper sits comfortably in countryside that rewards a proper visit, and the garden here offers a genuine escape from the everyday—a place to settle with a pint and watch the seasons turn over the Hertfordshire landscape. The space feels unhurried and welcoming, the kind of garden where you’re as happy nursing a local ale as you are lingering over lunch, and the attentive staff move between tables with the ease of people who genuinely want you to stay longer. Inside, there’s a charming barn room alongside the main dining space, both warm with that freshly restored cosiness that respects the building’s character without overdoing it. Whether you’re after a Sunday roast with family or a midweek meal with friends, there’s a real sense here that the new owners have set out to do proper food and proper hospitality—and the quiet care in the detail, from the kitchen’s timing to Morgan remembering your preferences, makes all the difference.
