Colney Fox in St Albans

Well done to Georgina who worked tirelessly. Our area seemed understaffed but she did so well keeping up with everybody’s needs.

Came today for lunch and was super busy, Georgina our server was pleasant enough but food was a long wait. Found out that there were only 2 chefs in, so understandable but food was cold even though they where busy. Have been before and was better, won't rush coming back but doesn't mean would avoid. Just average 😀

We had a lovely meal at the Conley Fox today.

Abbi the waitress was delightful and most helpful

Came Saturday lunch time which was very busy but fast service. Lovely food and our server Georgina was fab. 10/10

Had a lovely Friday late lunch, food was delicious and service was excellent. Thank you Georgina for being so helpful and great with our baby :) x

Our waiter Luca, was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu choices. I had a delicious rib eye with chips and a beef dripping sauce- a recommendation from Luca, it was amazing!

Two nights accommodation and evening meal. Absolutely excellent and amazing staff, lovely cosy ( open fire even in the morning) bar and restaurant. Bedrooms clean and very comfortable beds and crisp linen, soft towels. Excellent evening meal. We had to change time and numbers at last min and staff were brilliant. Best rib eye steak cooked to perfection. Looking forward to a return visit. Thank you

Had a lovely catch up with friends over a few drinks & great food with amazing customer service from Donna, Jasmin and Hannah easing us all out of lockdown with a smile. Thank you

Great service had amazing service with 2 incredible young women so sweet and genuine

Popped in for a family lunch, food was very tasty although one person's Chicken curry was slightly overdone and chewy but otherwise perfect. Service from Georgina was friendly and polite

Always enjoy the odd times I do visit Georgia & the team are fab. X

We met up on a Sunday at the Colney fox with friends from Cambs. We picked the location as a halfway point between London and Cambs. Super easy off the M25. We had dogs, so that was part of the criteria. As we arrived in the huge parking, we were concerned the place may be too commercial. As soon as we entered, we felt the warmth of the atmosphere and the faces of people enjoying the meals. There's ample space inside and ability to accommodate large groups. The staff are warm and fun. Dogs had free treats, and the food didn't disappoint. I had the pie of the day, and it was full of flavour. Absolutely loved it. The portions are generous too. Would definitely recommend it 👌

Lovely Pub - Cosy ambience and the food menu was extensive and it tasted good

Great food and excellent service

Welcoming to children. Friendly staff.

We love the Colney Fox and come here quite a lot. The building has a great atmosphere. Georgina is a great waitress and feels like a friend as we’ve seen her so often. The menu has choices for everyone and the seabass is my favourite, the lasagne is my husbands. Highly recommended.

Georgia our Waitress was efficient and very friendly. Made us feel like VIP's

Had the most perfect family gathering here this weekend! Big shout out to Megan our server!

Very over rated Not worth the money Had the Christmas menu

Served by Georgina who was lovely and attentive and the food was delicious.

Food was lovely and our waiter Ollie was fantastic

Stall all very helpful and friendly. Tori and her team are doing a great job.

Thanks Georgina for marking us welcome. A very nice time had by all. Loved the real fires.

Atmosphere lovely a cosy warm welcome & good food

We stayed here for 2 nights just before New Year & we both agreed we will return next time we go to London. All the staff were welcoming & friendly, despite being really busy both evenings. The food is great too, I highly recommend the Fish & Chips! Breakfast was also good & again we couldn’t fault the service. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely pub that we picked as we had dogs and was meeting family half way. Nice and Christmassy. Crackers on the table. Staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered the lamb shank, little dry but overall meals were good. Easily parked, disabled toilets and nice atmosphere with its history and fires roaring.

Lovely breakfast, great coffee and friendly service from Georgina.

We have frequented the Colney fox several times throughout 2024 all of which have been an enjoyable experience with friendly staff, good tasty food and an efficient service. Based on that We decided to book a table for 6 for Christmas dinner. The starters and mains were all very tasty and portioned well, resulting in 6 empty plates for both courses! However, the deserts let the meal down slightly with soft crackers and dry cheese and unpleasant tasting cream accompanying the meringue. Both of these issues should and could have been avoided if the crackers had not been refrigerated and added to the cheese board just prior to serving, and the cream being refrigerated and added to the meringue just prior to service. Overall we had an enjoyable afternoon.

Awesome Xmas Dinner yesterday. Tori and team were amazing. Service just superb. Food to die for. Definitely recommend Colney Fox.

Had a lovely evening at the Colney Fox. Lovely food, good atmosphere and decent beer. A mention also to Sam who served us and was just great. Would definitely recommend.....

She was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed before we even asked. Thank you Sam!!

We had a great dinner with friends, atmosphere and food were lovely. Made even better by our server, Sam.

A very nice set up with extremely pleasant staff.

Had an amazing Christmas party here the other day! Big shout out to Megan and Tori the manager who were incredible and looked after my family very well

Courier delivered someoneelse’s order to me and my order is probably going to someoneelse right now. How is this possible?

The Colney Fox is a lovely old pub and restaurant. The food is excellent. Staff friendly. Highly recommend

Sam was very good and she looked after us in an excellent way.

Had a lovely meal for my 5 year olds birthday today! Georgie was our waitress and she was absolutely lovely! Food was great too!

We had a fantastic meal for our granddaughter's birthday and our waitress georgina was absolutely amazing!

Great service from Georgina - thank you

We had our work Christmas meal here and the food was lovely and the service from Sam and Adam was great. Definitely coming back soon 😊

Wow our food & service was excellent! Adam was very attentive & the lamb was cooked to perfection! Thank you colney fox!

The floor staff were actually so nice and chill would go again

Nice pub . Very slow service we waited over 1.30mins for just mains obviously we understand its Christmas time so it's busier than usual but if this had been relayed by the staff all would of been fine but we weren't given any communication and it wasn't till they were asked if there was an issue did any food eventually arrive. Food was nice. Pub was pleasant. Timings could use some work .

Lovely roasts, for meat eaters and vegetarians. Beautiful venue, great service.

What a cosy and atmospheric pub! A highlight was definitely the service provided by Sam. Despite saying she was a new employee you would’ve never had known. She was super attentive and made our experience at the Inn well worth the visit. I can’t wait to be back, especially if she’s serving us. During a busy time at the Inn the food was delivered efficiently and tasted amazing too.

Adam was very polite, food was lovely

Been twice recently and both times had good service and really tasty food. Big pub, accommodates lots of people and has rooms to stay for approx £100 a night. Parking - need to add your numberplate to not have to pay.

Sunday lunch, seated and asked what we'd like to drink. A Bloody Mary please. Sorry we don't do those- we can give you a vodka and some tomato juice to mix it with. I was really surprised! A rural pub, and apparently not one member of the bar staff could assemble a Bloody Mary - almost a British staple for hangovers but not this time! Then looked at the drinks list - great we'll have two Malbec in 175m glasses as it says on the menu. Response again a NO - sorry can't do that we're only selling by the bottle as stocks are low. Ok moving on to ordering food, I asked whether it was possible to have a hamburger which comes as advertised w/lettuce, toms, onion, pickle and mayo BUT, with out the other toppings of smoked bbq brisket, bacon, Monterey jack cheese, cheese sauce, mayo and onion rings £17.95. They said yes but they would have to charge the fixed price. So with a hat trick of no's plus a display of such an unobliging attitude by Megan the manager, who didn't really seem to care, we got up and left. Not recommended at all in any level.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Colney Fox. The food was excellent and Georgina looked after us impeccably.

Excellent service by Adam - he'd have got a better tip had I been able to pay on my card. Good food as always.

We came on a very busy sat night and had some food in the restaurant. Luca our server was fantastic and also I didn’t catch her name but she had long red hair and tattoos very friendly bubbly women. Highly recommend the colney fox! We will be returning

Had a spectacular time at the Fox tonight! It seemed very busy tonight yet our server Ollie was fantastic!

A lovely cosy meal out. Luka was a very good waiter.

Came here with my family. Great service by Ollie. Will come back.

Our server Georgina was friendly and helpful

Great food, cozy atmosphere and super service. Thanks Ollie!

Fantastic evening. Fab food. Ollie was a star 🌟

Delicious food, very nice staff, a good overall experience.

Food was very tasty and arrived promptly. Our server was delightful. I think her name was Elisa. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you for a lovely meal and evening.

A cosy pub and a great place to have brunch by a real fireplace. Good menu options for a good price. We've been served by Georgina a few times who is always so friendly and helpful!

Really nice meal. Lovely pub. Special mention to the brilliant Elisa for the great service.

Waited far to long for food and when it arrived all the vegetables were stone cold

Ollie was awesome. This guy was amazing!! A true inspiration and made the atmosphere great. Attentive when required but enough space to enjoy company and food. A great balance!!

Had a lovely meal tonight, served by ollie who was great! Will be back again soon!

Lovely time. Served by Ollie, he was great.

Great service from Ollie. Attentive and helpful.

An excellent meal with an old friend. Ollie was a superb waiter.

Had a fabulous meal. Service was great Ollie Was awesome, No Cap

Service was very good, and place was quite nice. Food (Sunday Roast) was overcooked - especially the meat.

Lovely surroundings, easy to park. Food come up quick, but was very average. Trio roast was ehat appeared to be frozen potatoes, the veg was VERY hard. The beef had grissle going through it. Overall i didnt enjoy the meal. Its £21 for a roast dinner and I have eaten much better for less money elsewhere. Staff were very nice.

Service was great. Adam was very accommodating! Food was nice.

Nice surroundings, cosy feel in room opposite bar. Food was decent pub grub. Great service at the table from Georgina.

Georgina looked after us and suggested the their classic burger. She was on point and fun to talk to. I never get to eat burgers out anymore as every place seems to serve brioche which I hate! I was told it came with a proper bun so my wife and I took the recommendation. OMG… the best burger I have had in years! Cooked perfectly. Literally amazing! The chief , I’m told was called Barney. Huge respect to you Sir! Second fantastic meal here. What a great place!

Wonderful, family friendly pub! Excellent quality food, a lovely range on the menu and a cosy ambience. Staff are very friendly, service was prompt and we felt entirely welcome and relaxed. Thank you to the staff and our main server Georgina 🤗

Wonderful venue. Wonderful food presentation and just looking at the food makes you hungry. Well looked after by Georgina. My only comment was the sticky toffee pudding was slightly dry and the toffee sauce would be nice if it was sweeter.

Brilliant food. Amazing Crumble. Our server Georgina was very welcoming and nice!

We visit this pub for a drink after a shopping trip to Colney Fields. The building has great character, open fires, stone floors....today we were served by Sam (young). Sam cleared a just vacated table of many glasses, wiped it down, lit a candle for extra atmosphere and chatted briefly. All of which added to our experience. Attentive, well trained staff a bonus in this hostelry.

Amazing night and amazing food Thank you Tori and the team for looking after us

Great food and especially good service from Adam, will be visiting again

Great food and service, was served by Megan and she was so lovely and attentive throughout my evening! Would highly recommend to anyone ☺️

Ordered the ribeye steaks medium rare and chips.. Unfortunately the steak arrived was a bit cold and cooked medium to well done.. The gravy was also mild. The triple fried chips were hot and tasted like it had just come out of the fryer. It was crispy and on the outside and starchy on the inside.. Maybe I'm just unlucky or the chef has left the steak to rest too long but I enjoyed the chips more then the cold and chewy steak.

Great service by Megan this evening! So polite and charming and the food was incredible

Grat lunch meal, Georgina was lovely
