Ye Olde Fighting Cocks

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a pub in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England.

[2] Elsewhere in St Albans, the White Hart and the Fleur de Lys (currently called The Snug) are believed to have been trading as inns in the late medieval period.

[4] The pub is at the end of Abbey Mill Lane beside the River Ver, just outside the perimeter of Verulamium Park, not far from St Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire.

[7] In 2015 PETA wrote to the pub's landlord and its owners, Mitchells & Butlers, requesting that they change the name due to its cockfighting association.

The Cocks was featured in an exterior scene in "The Sins of the Fathers", a 1990 episode of the ITV series Inspector Morse.

The setting was the beer garden along the River Ver, with the pub's large sign plainly visible in the background.
