Welcome to the Sloppy Hut
We went to Sugar Hut last night, girlfriend innocently asked if we had to pay to enter and how much? "£5" was the answer with an added comment of "why, are you hard up?" We left without entering. Great customer service, very welcoming attitude. We wish them all the best, with door staff like that how could they possibly fail? [:(!]

I will never pay, nor queue, to get in a pub or bar. Not unless there is some sort of special event or other entertainment going on anyway.

My friends went to the 'Hut' the other evening and was charged £5 entry and £2 just to hang your coat up!
costing them £19, they then went to order 3 Jack D's and was told they did not have that brand!! WHAT! so they left, a very expensive look at the decor..........cannot see them doing too much trade, there are plenty of free establishment in the town....needless to say my friends will not be going back, and reading about Deco I and my friends will not be frequenting there either..............

you must have read something different about Deco than I have then, from the posts on here it sounds amazing. Sure they charge late on fri/sat but to be fair so does even the stone house. it's expected on the weekend!

I haven't been to either the "hut" or Deco, but judging by the comments on here I won't even try them. Don't these places realise that people are having to tighten their belts at the moment? There are dozens of pubs closing up and down the country. People are not going to fork out lots of dosh just to get into a place, and that's before the exhorbitant prices charged for drinks. I for one won't shed any tears if they fold.

Popped in Sugar Hut on Wednesday night, two people in, but not for long! Other Bars/Pubs seemed busy enough.
Can't say we haven't tried [:(]

I went to Sugar Hut to check it out with boyfriend and was met by rather surley gentleman on the door, who did nothing to sell the place, on the contrary, he put us off! Stating £5 to get in, no cards under £10 etc etc.. Think he needs to lose the attitude otherwise this new branch will definitely lose custom. People in Hertford won't stand for it.

Also popped in over the weekend and was dissapointed by the state of the place. It seemed really dirty and grimey and at £10 for two drinks I would have thought they could afford a cleaner. The bar staff seemed a bit unsure of what they were doing and yes the door man was not very friendly either.
The decor was not what I was expecting, they seemed to have glossed over what was already there. The back bar and bar are virtually the same just with some painted wood cut outs attached to certain area's, the seating looks the same, the courtyard is a shambles and how it is safe I have no idea the ground is uneven and there seems to be only one exit.
Went to Deco's after and what a difference, must be politest door man in Hertford, well presented receptionist who made you feel welcome and the music was better aswell.
I for one will not be going back but I do think there is enough of the type of crowd they are looking for to keep it going.
