Where can I park?

There is a car park at the Artichoke for around 20 cars. If the car park is full we ask that you park safely and considerately in Green Lane. Please think of others and always allow access for emergency vehicles to pass by. There is also a free public car park over the road at The Croxley Guild, with space for around 30 cars.

How do I get into the pub?

All our guests’ journeys start at the front door. If you have a booking please let us know that you’ve arrived and if you’re thinking of just popping by please come to the reception area by the door and we will find you a table.

Can I order at the bar?

Life usually revolves around the bar, but please resist the temptation to pop to it, we’ll look after you at the table. We are running full table service throughout the pub and gardens for your relaxation and enjoyment.

Can I bring my children?

We love families at The Artichoke and ask that your children are always supervised and don’t run around the pub. There are lots of hot, sharp things around and we want to keep them safe. Little Arti-folk are welcome until 8pm, after that we are over 18’s.

Can I bring my baby?

We have plentiful highchairs and baby changing facilities here too. Please feel free to use the rear entrance if that helps with getting into the pub but, do still let us know you’ve arrived.

Can I bring my dog?

We love well behaved four-legged friends who are kept on leads. We have plenty of water bowls and even have doggie ice cream!

Can I book a table or make an enquiry through Facebook?

We don’t have this functionality as yet. Please book or make your enquiry here or give us a call on 01923 778677. We look forward to hearing from you.

Can I book a table in the garden?

Our outside tables are unavailable to book and are on a first-come first-served basis. If you make a reservation for inside then we will try to get you a table outside if we are able.

How long do I get my table for?

Times vary due to party size and what time of day it is. We always allow ample time for your experience and will confirm with you how long you have your table for when you make your booking.
