About The Portland Arms

A pub in St Albans doing proper kids' meals, so there's something a fussy five-year-old will actually finish rather than picking at grown-up food. High chairs mean babies and toddlers are catered for too, and the quiet noise level makes it easier to hear each other across the table — though it also means a shrieking toddler will carry, so bear that in mind. Step-free access is a relief if you're pushing a buggy, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. Gluten-free options are available, and it's worth booking ahead.
