Our fav refuel stop along the family bike rides! Dogs, horses, barns and the total farmer vibe is incredible. Work just on weekends. Children can’t wait it. Their motivation to ride on weekdays are decreasing now 😂 As usual we have tea, coffee, scones. If we are with friends they have ice cream balls🍨 Cheese scones are the top! 🧀 Coffee is made of good quality beans. Will specify it. ☕️🫖 Everything is served with love and care. Every single detail is thoughtfully organised. Toilet is available on site. Outside sitting on the picnic tables and under the cover/shed/barn roof. Blocks of hey in summer.

Gracey’s Pizza – St Albans Review Location & Atmosphere (4/5) Tucked away on a quiet parade in St Albans, Gracey’s Pizza is the definition of a hidden gem—blink and you’ll miss it. Small, charming, and with room for just 10 diners inside, it has that cosy, independent vibe. Pro tip: Book your pizza (or dough) in advance. Like many independents these days, once they’re out of dough, that’s it. I got lucky with a 45-minute wait, but walk-ins behind me were turned away. Annoying? Maybe. But it’s part of supporting small-batch, quality-focused spots. The Pizza (4/5) I went for the Marg (12”), marketed as New Haven style. Now, what makes a pizza “New Haven”? Think of it as New York’s thinner, slightly charred cousin—meant to have a light dusting of cheese, a bit of chew, and those signature charred spots. • Gracey’s version leaned more thin and crunchy than chewy, but honestly—who cares about strict authenticity when it tastes this good? • There was a nice slight char, a crispy base, and the sauce and toppings were solid. • It wasn’t a mind-blowing, life-changing pizza, but it was a damn good one—the kind you’d be grateful to have as a local option. Value for Money (4/5) At £12, it’s fairly priced for an artisan-style pizza with quality ingredients. If you’re local, it’s a no-brainer. For those travelling in, it’s worth it—just not a weekly pilgrimage. Drinks (1/5) Quick side note: the non-alcoholic beer was dreadful—easily the worst I’ve had. Avoid it entirely. Overall Rating: 4/5 Gracey’s Pizza delivers a tasty, well-made pizza in a cosy, no-frills setting. Whether or not it ticks every box for a true New Haven style doesn’t really matter—what counts is that it’s good pizza. If you’re local, you’re lucky. If you’re travelling from London, it’s worth a visit—but pre-book and manage expectations around wait times. Would I return? Yes—but I’ll plan ahead next time.
