Happy to do this if others are up for it. It doesn’t matter if it goes a bit wonky - that’s part of the fun tbh!

@munckee the studio is about a 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town. There's a selection of foodie boozers and chain restaurants, as well as a chippy, chicken place, and a couple of kebab/burger shops.
Closest place that's a bit different is Galos. No parking, so walking from the studio: GEt back to main road, turn right and walk past Esso. Cross at pedestrian lights and walk down the short link road between the roundabouts then turn right and walk down North Road/St Andrew Street (past building works, head for spire). Just keep going until you get to a three-way junction with traffic lights. This is the edge of town proper, and Galos is opposite you. If you don't fancy it, just keep walking straight on.
That route also takes you past The Old Cross Tavern, which is the best boozer in town, but doesn't do food (apart from trad pork pie).
The only major fast food place is a McDonald's which is out at the A10 on the other side of town.
In the middle of town there's stuff like Ask, Pizza Express, Café Rouge (I think), a bunch of Indians, Italians and the odd Chinese. There's a Japanese place which is great in a totally mental way, but it's not quick service. Plus hoards of cafes and pubs-with-food from the awful (Wetherspoons) to the actually quite good.
If people want to do food beforehand I could get down early with Mrs Snags (or I'll be in the shit!) and we could probably blag our way into one of the chain restaurants. Hertford is mostly restaurants and hairdressers these days, so if it's nice weather it will probably be busy. Be worth aiming to be at the studio for no later than 12:30 though, to allow comfortable walking and eating time?
@bridgehouse if you're a very good boy we might be able to bring something back (or summon you for a post meal coffee)

rock on jammers.
Special thanks to @snags for organising (and bassing and singing) and @bridgehouse for multi-instrumentalism (Bass, Drum’s and harmonicas!!) and @munckee for bass duties.
It was a good mix of proper songs and jamming. I’m off to learn some more drum fills and endings!!

Tho Hey Joe was fun to drum..
Had a great time yesterday at Herts spent 4 hours pretty much playing solid. Thanks to @snags for organising, sorry to his wife who had to walk home in the rain! A few pictures taken on my rubbish phone so please be assured that everyone is much better looking, younger and slimmer in person!

Snags is the bearded chap playing bass, @bridgehouse is drumming, @guitartango is sporting the gold top, @tadodger is holding my custom shop strat and @mrkb has the swanky red shoes on.
Things I have learnt from the "Herts" Jam
- Bring two guitars , as the Gibson is bloody heavy
- You only need to bring a few pedals (my amp just needed a boost)
- Try to learn a few songs and keep your timing (the Blues Jam was great)
- Hey Joe has four bars of E (thanks Mark @mrkb )
- Have fun.... i did
- It's easy to get lost (even with three chords)
