A pub in Harpenden has won an award for its external presentation. 

Daren and Sarah Rider, who run The Plough & Harrow, were presented with the award at the Charles Wells Pub Company Eagle Star Awards on November 6. 

Sarah Rider said: "We think it’s really important that the pub is just as appealing and welcoming outside as it is inside, we often have people comment on how lovely the pub looks but it's wonderful to be recognised with an award too. 

"We'd like to say a huge thank you to Jim Clark, one of our customers who helps us keep our gardens and flower arrangements looking so nice, and is just as deserving of the credit."
