A charming village pub nestled in the heart of Berkhamsted market town along the picturesque Grand Junction Canal. Our historic pub dating back to the 18th century, offers a fresh, seasonal menu coupled with local cask, world lagers and an extensive wine list. All of which can be enjoyed in our rustic, country setting.

    Had lunch with a friend today. When we got our food mine was almost cold as if it had been standing around for a while. The food itself seemed ok but I couldn’t eat cold food. It was the venison pie, mad and veggies. I did not complain as the staff were very busy. The restaurant itself was very cold and draughty and I came away frozen and still hungry. Needless to say I will not be returning for another meal.

    Really good food but run out of eggs, mulled wine & guiness. Without background music this pub can sometimes be a little devoid of atmosphere. Music wasn’t playing when we arrived but was as we left. Stark lighting doesn’t add to atmosphere.

    I absolutely love the Crystal Palace, it’s a real little gem! Service is awesome, super friendly team, very happy to chat & engage. The food is ridiculous, I love every item on the menu but it’s the Camembert wheel that I adore!! Can’t wait to go back!! Thank you.

    I would return to the Crystal Palace in a heartbeat! Hits the balance of a gastropub excellently. The food is hearty but with a unique and tasty spin.. Spacing between tables means you know you’re not alone but you can hold a conversation… cozy… great beer and the staff are young, friendly and honest. A great evening

    The staff were super attentive, friendly and helpful - we came with a large amount of bags and they very kindly cleared a space in the restaurant for us to fit them into. The food was great, the setting is beautiful and we can't wait to come back. Thanks team Crystal Palace!
