Real Ales and Quality Pub Grub
The Lytton Arms is an iconic real ale pub with a long and ale-soaked history.
The legacy of the beer is now carried on by our team, who are always on the lookout for the best brews in the business. This search for the best brews has helped us maintain great relationships with our suppliers and has helped us create an iconic Knebworth pub.
You can expect to see the finest in cask ales and craft beers, from the most chocolatey porter to the fruitiest gose, session pales and classic bitters - we hope to have something for everyone.
Our kitchen serves fresh food where the carefully sourced ingredients really get to shine. Enjoyed in our beer garden in the summer, overlooking acres of British countryside or sheltered by our wood burner in the winter, it is hard to go wrong!
Open for food 7 days a week.
Our Menus
At The Lytton Arms, the food and drink offerings focus on traditional British pub fare with a modern twist, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The menu features classic dishes like fish and chips, hearty burgers, and seasonal specials, complemented by a selection of fine ales, wines, and spirits.
We pride ourselves on providing a cosy, welcoming atmosphere where guests can enjoy delicious, comforting meals alongside their favourite drinks.
No idea about our deer?
Deer have lived on Knebworth Park long before the Lytton family arrived in 1490, the Hertfordshire county emblem and name itself pays homage to these long cherished and respected neighbours.
In 1700, Knebworth Park was described as “stocked with the best deer in the country”, and following in their tracks, today’s Knebworth Reds still cut a majestic presence in the early morning mist – echoes of the original harts of Hertfordshire!
The majority of the venison available will be from our herd of Red, along with the occasional woodland Fallow and Muntjac, all of which offer a high protein/low fat, iron, zinc and b vitamin rich, premium organic meat – as local as it gets!
At The Lytton Arms we're proud to serve venison from Knebworth Park. If you have any questions, ask our team.
