About

The Akeman Inn, nestled on the ancient Roman road of Akeman Street in Tring, is a historic 1901 Victorian pub that reopened its doors in 2007. Its preserved façade, sweeping fireplace, and warm wood‑panelled interiors create a genuine ambience of bygone elegance, while the courtyard decking—complete with a fire pit—offers a relaxed outdoor spot for patrons to unwind. Added to the charm, the venue lies just a short stroll from Tring Park, a diverse Woodland Trust site that provides picturesque surroundings for a leisurely post‑meal walk. Culinary delights are a highlight of the Akeman. The menu showcases Mediterranean‑inspired dishes, including signature steaks and fish prepared in a charcoal‑fuelled Josper grill, as well as pizzas, pastas, and comforting roast specialties such as the popular 12‑hour roasted pork belly. The range caters to a wide palette, with options ranging from classic full English breakfasts to vegetarian and gluten‑free dishes, all served with the same care and locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re looking for a family‑friendly evening, a cozy spot for a date, or a taste of historic hospitality, the Akeman Inn delivers a memorable experience that blends historic charm with contemporary comfort.
