Good menu of well cooked meals at value for money prices. Popular with locals and can get very busy. Limited parking to the rear of the pub. Sign up with pub for email newsletters, offers and a free bottle of wine when you dine in near your birthday

Not bad. Always busy the only disappointment it's a McMullens Update. Although food wasn't the best on the area the advantage coming here was the 2 for 1. However this has been greatly reduced in new menu so the attraction is not there anymore. Pity. Pub definitely improved incl the food recommended

Really disappointed, normally really enjoy the food at the chieftain however this time left highly unsatisfied. The menu has been reduced leaving only the basic of options and then food it's self lacks flavour and is like a chore to eat. The staff were lovely, but there wasn't a table check in until we had nearly finished our meal.

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.

15 of us booked Xmas dinner at 7pm. At 8:15 the starters came but I wasn't having one so waited for the main course, Still waiting at 9:15. Hungry so went home and cooked a meal. I heard that they got the main course at 09:50, nearly 3 hours after our booking. People who came in after our party were being served before us. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they bit off more than they could chew with Xmas dinners, but I never got to chew anything.

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.

I love coming to the Chieftain regularly with my other half over the years, we’re actually the first couple to have got engaged inside the pub. My partner loves the mixed grill and I love the burgers, especially the beetroot. The advice I would give is book early, especially during busy periods the pub fills up quickly, the staff are really friendly and the food is brilliant. We’re really excited about having our Christmas dinners here.

To be honest, I gave most of the five points because there is a wooden leg in the window. I love the idea that someone came in, got so drunk that they forgot that they had come in with a wooden leg and just hopped home – leaving the landlord to display it in the window like something out of Bagpuss. This may not be what actually happened, I just wish it was. I would probably have given two or three stars for my actual experience. The car park was too small and completely full. We were able to park in the nearby streets but it felt unwise. We were there in the daytime and still the room was dark and loud. The food was slow and my mixed grill was one of the very worst that I have ever had. I am something of a mixed grill connoisseur, so that really is saying something. It might have been better if they had brought it out when they first made it, rather than deciding to give it that desert sun exposure vibe as I waited hungrily. My wings starter was alright and I didn't fancy any of the puddings. The service was slow and the messaging confused. It might be worth going when it is even quieter than a Sunday afternoon.

Saw it on Google and decided to try it, wanted to order a beef burger but unfortunately they have ran out, so I ordered the Chicken burger instead as one of the recommendations from the bar staff, it was surprisingly good. The fries with it were also good. I wish the alcohol was slightly cheaper, but I do understand its a pub, the staff were really nice and friendly as well. Will come back in the future to get the beef burger when it's less busy.

As a family we have used the Chieftain as out local restaurant for many years, 17 of us booked in today for my birthday. I am a vegetarian so I chose the nut and sweet potatoe roast dinner, it was very disappointing. The worst roast dinner I have had in a long time. The potatoes were so hard I couldn't eat them, the nut roast was sloppy and didn't taste good. We have decided not to use the restaurant again.

We have just visited The Chieftain, for Sunday lunch, roast was fantastic, staff happy and attentive, the pub was buzzing, I’m not usually a fan of karaoke but tonight it’s added atmosphere and I’m just gutted it’s a school/work night and we had to leave. Well done everyone we will be back to try more on the new menu.

I have eaten here in the week many times and although the food menu is very basic it was always ok and good value. I took my family for lunch last Sunday but was very disappointed. The roast was poor! I cook for a living and know when corners are cut. The veg was frozen, watery and not very warm, the potatoes again were frozen and cooked very badly, my mum couldn’t even eat hers. Instant gravy! Yorkshire was so hard it was inedible. So so disappointing as I really like this pub but it def has dropped standards from a few months ago. Come on Chieftain, get your act together!

Booked a table two weeks in advance so we could sit near the door (for the busy Adele tribute night) due to one member of our group having Alzheimer’s and therefore we needed to be in a safe zone and able to make an exit easily if needed. When we arrived they had given our table to another party. I explained the situation to the waitress and she spoke to her Manager who decides to sit us on a high stool table instead, obviously never had an experience of people with dementia!!! In the end we had to sit near the bar where we were cramped and over crowded and so we decided to leave half way through the show. The waitresses/waiters were lovely but the Management at this establishment should be ashamed, We had been looking forward to the Adele tribute show for 3 weeks and that’s why it was so important I booked a suitable table for our party.

My dining experience at Chieftain in Welwyn Garden City was truly a memorable one. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cozy yet modern interior, with its beautiful blend of rustic and contemporary elements, set the perfect scene for a delectable dining experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that my every need was met with a smile. The well-curated menu offered a diverse range of tantalizing dishes, reflecting the culinary prowess of the talented chefs. With a beautiful presentation and a flair for combining unique flavors, each dish was a delightful surprise. For starters, I opted for the 'Crispy Chicken Wings', a fantastic balance of succulence and crunchiness. The wings were cooked to perfection, with a mouthwatering blend of spices that left a lingering sensation on my taste buds. The main course was a true comfort food classic. I chose the 'Beef Lasagne', which exceeded my expectations. The layers of pasta were tender and infused with a rich, savory meat sauce that was packed with flavor. The dish was topped with a generous amount of gooey, melted cheese, adding a delightful richness to each bite. To finish off the evening, I indulged in the 'Biscoff Waffle Sundae'. This dessert was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The warm, fluffy waffles were drizzled with a decadent Biscoff sauce and topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The combination of textures and flavours in this dessert was an absolute treat for my taste buds. The drink selection at Chieftain was also impressive, with a wide array of wines, beers, and cocktails to choose from. I opted for a glass of their house red, which was a lovely accompaniment to my meal. In conclusion, Chieftain in Welwyn Garden City is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking a top-notch dining experience. The combination of impeccable service, a warm ambiance, and skill fully crafted dishes make this establishment truly deserving of a five-star rating. I cannot wait to return and explore more of their culinary delights.

I'm sorry but this evening was the worst I've ever had at the Chieftain. When me and the family started coming here many years ago, the whole menu was 2-for-1, the service was excellent and everything was organised well. Now we're treated to a menu that is barely 2-for-1 unless you like the basics, completely unorganised and the service seems to be a very my way or highway attitude. We came as a group of 10, half of us had our orders taken straight away and served within 10 mins. The other half had their orders taken 5 mins after the other and waited roughly 30 mins after the rest had got their meals for their meals to arrive. The staff then informed us it had been like it all day...so why not explain that when we were ordering? Or maybe don't over book? It seems since the new managers have come in, it's just lost everything that was good about it!
