About us

Formerly known as the Woodman, The Chieftain has been flying the McMullen flag continuously since 1924.

It was once a vast ale house selling over 1,450 barrels in 1939 – roughly the number of meals we sell in a week these days. How times change! Sadly the place burnt down a couple of years ago, shortly after it had closed for re-development – but the good news is that the brand spanking new Chieftain reopened in its current glorious guise in 2011.

Just a stone’s throw from the centre of Welwyn Garden City, the reborn Chieftain is a truly stunning modern hostelry that’s steeped in traditional pub values, offering tremendous value in inspired (and inspiring!) stylish and quirkily designed surroundings. Whether you’re dining alfresco on the heated patio or inside by one of the roaring fires our fabulous, friendly team make this the perfect local for eating, drinking and being merry.

The team look forward to seeing you soon.

3 of uf popped in for a lunchtime meal. Relatively busy for a Wednesday, but service was good and didn't have to wait long. Good choice of meals and very reasonable prices and staff very helpful as well being polite. Good place for parties/ birthdays booked prior.

Amazing place with great prices and better service. Honestly, this is going on my best places to eat, locally. Every time I went to the bar, I was served efficiently. The food all came out perfectly, although we had a bug party, the restaurant coped extremely well. Hats off to the team.

Visited 05/12: the food wasn’t great, I had chicken pie and the pastry was dry. The chips seemed old. The dessert was nice, I had Oreo waffles. I didn’t use the disabled toilets so cannot comment on them. There could be more disabled spaces but I found one when I visited. The staff were pleasant.
