About The Inn On The Green
Perfected over generationsThe Inn on the Green has lived many lives as Harpenden has evolved from a sleepy rural village to a thriving town. The original 17th-century cottages were extended to house Salisbury’s Hardware Store and Cycle Shop from the 1860s. Years later, this bustling hub of trade and craftsmanship was turned into Mary-Ellen’s Tearooms, bringing the homely pleasure of a cup of tea and a slice of cake to the locals.
Today, we celebrate this journey through the centuries to become The Inn on the Green—a cosy pub overlooking the 'Village Green'. Join us to soak up the buzz of local life from our welcoming front terrace on a summer’s day. And step inside to discover soft velvets, book nooks, rustic beams, and copper accents that evoke a timeless charm. We can’t wait to welcome you.
The art of brewing
We know how much care and expertise goes into the art of brewing, so behind the bar you’ll find a wide selection of beers and cask ales to celebrate this much-loved craft, including our very own Roebuck Pale Ale and regularly changing Guest Ales. We also offer draught lager and cider, plus low and no-alcohol beers and soft drinks.
For wine lovers, our carefully curated range by the glass and by the bottle, will really hit the spot. Whether you prefer a bold red, a crisp white or something light and fruity, there's plenty to explore. For special occasions, only a bottle of fizz will do, and you’ll love our exquisite Champagne selection.
And for when the mood takes you, enjoy a simple spirit or a signature cocktail, perfectly served by our team.
A celebration of the traditional
From hearty roasts and moreish starters to sharing plates, homemade pub snacks and indulgent desserts, it goes without saying we really love our food, so whatever time of day you pop and see us, there’ll be some delicious dishes waiting.
Our lunchtime, dinner, Sunday and snack menus are full of cosy pub classics with quirky touches. Our Homemade Sausage Rolls will be the talk of the town, and our Roebuck sharing platter for two features our best ever scotch egg, complete with an oozing orange yolk. For lighter bites you can enjoy the nostalgia of a fish finger sandwich, or our famously comforting Great British Cheese Toastie.
Whatever your taste (and hunger level), we’ve got something for everyone, including a tasty sandwich selection for daytime snacking and delicious options for vegans and vegetarians.
