McMullens pub in [[Locale Waltham Cross|Waltham Cross]].

It has a large beer garden with plenty of picnic bench seating and a children's play area.  On our Monday lunchtime visit in October 2013 there was a bouncy castle in the process of being inflated, and [http://www.netmums.com/eastherts/local/view/restaurants-pubs-and-cafes/family-pubs/the-vine according to a comment on Netmums] this seems to be a fairly regular occurrence.  There's a covered porch with chairs and tables <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/10184358784/ photo]</small> for bad-weather smoking.

[[Kake]] visited on a Monday lunchtime in October 2013.  The handpumps were clipped for McMullens Country Bitter, AK, and IPA; the seasonal [http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/10665755.New_beer_set_to_help_save_lives/ Halo Trust] had just run out.  A pint of lime and soda was &pound;1.40.

Food is served from a menu which looks on the interesting side for pub food, plus a small selection of specials.

Grilled salmon with puy lentils and roasted vegetables (&pound;9.45) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/10184575543/ photo]</small> was a little oddly executed.  The salmon was in several pieces, some of which were drastically overcooked to the point of resembling jerky.  The roasted vegetables had a reasonable flavour and came in a generous portion, but the puy lentils were few and far between.

According to a sign seen in October 2013, quiz night is Thursday.

Child-friendliness: As noted above, the pub has a rather nice outdoor play area.  The accessible toilet doubles as a baby-change.

Accessibility: The pub has its own car park, accessed from the High Street side.  Step-free access from the car park (and High Street) via a long, shallow ramp with a 90-degree turn at the end.  Step-free to the accessible toilet too.
