Harpsfield Hall in Welwyn Hatfield

Good pub, usually decent selection of beers but interesting decor makes it better than most

The service staffs are not really friendly and doesn't interact much. I dont understand why don't people smile often. It's simple cheap and effective. Its like they are in their own bubble and the vibes wasn't that great or bad...

Nice modern pub well presented. Decent beer at great price!

Good spot for breakfast or lunch just off the A1(M) outside London. Only a few minutes drive from the motorway and it is right next to a car park with 1hr free parking (but get a ticket to log your arrival time).

Sadly since its opening in 2015 this restaurant has slowly declined in both the quality of the food the general ambience of the restaurant, and the current decor looks tired and in need of a complete refresh. However the staff encountered are always cheerful, helpful, &.pleasant. Good choice of mainly traditional pub fare on the menu with an excellent choice of craft beers to try for the beer lovers, though as reviewed the quality of the food has taken a dive, thus only 3 stars for Harpsfield Hall Wetherspoons Hatfield. Fish & Chips is worth a try

This is a nice Wetherspoons just across from the Galleria shopping centre. We stopped off for a drink after a brisk walk round the rather disappointing shopping centre, It's a nice setting with three rather quirky booths made from old jet engine cowlings. It's a nod to the aerodrome that used to be situated close by, useless fact, Band of Brothers was largely filmed on the aerodrome before being completely built over. We didn't eat here but there's the usual selection on tap and the staff are friendly and efficient.

I like wetherspoons in general but this is horrendous just like a huge hanger no soul no atmosphere alright for a pint but that's it

Such a lovely Wetherspoons, the only small bit that lets it down ever so slightly, is the service. As it's close to the university it does get rather busy and sometimes there is a lengthy queue at the bar! Apart from that it's definitely worth a visit!

It's a big Wetherspoons in what used to be an aeronautic manufacturing site, Saving Private Ryan was filmed there during redevelopment. Staff are great, drinks are cheap, only ate here once which was excellent, don't forget to validate your parking!

Takes a long time to get served but can't complain as the price is right....

It's a delightful pub with great outdoor space as well as indoors . The staff are mostly friendly and helpful ans the food for the money is great value. Its definitely not a gastro pub but in truth like many, not every gastro delivers when it comes to the food especially for they charge ! The food occasionally come less than hot but on the plus side they are usually accommodating and re heat it without a fuss would be my main complaint. The breakfast is quite good and great value as is the unlimited coffee.

Lovely, modern new pub. Ordered Buritto salad bowl. Ive had it before and its super tasty. It arrived without roasted pepper, courgette , onion and guacamole. Basically rice and salad. I asked about the missing componants and was told they didnt have any guacamole. Very disappointed. I always promote Weatherspoons as good value, tasty food. Such a shame as the place is lovely

Good beer, good food, good service...what more do you want. Oh and very good prices and value.

It was absolutely wonderful, The food was great and the service was great, I will definitely be going there more

I was waiting at the bar for a few minutes when the female bar member was in the little side room cleaning up. When she came out, she immediately served the first person she saw - not me who had been waiting longest. The food I ordered a bacon and egg muffin took a long time to get to my table and was cold. The hot drinks machine wasn't working either - even though it had just been "fixed: I asked for my money back and was refunded. Poor Service. Cold food and a drinks machine that wasn't working.

Nice decoration. The food is no longer cheap and the quality is preposterous. The pizza was dry and overcooked. Staff here are nice until you complain. The managers have teeth and despise people who dare to criticize them. Spoons are a lottery nowadays. Some places have quality ingredients, on some days. It's a clearly broken business trying to survive with poor service and poor food.

Great experience, well done to the caring and attentive waiting staff.... Really enjoyed the food and the vibe, keep it up guys, looking forward to the next visit... You bunch of fun magnets !!!!

Plenty of space, bit shabby though.

This has to be the worst food I've ( tried ) to eat in a wetherspoons , everything in the pictures, all the food that should be hot was cold 🥶 , a poached egg soft & runny stone cold , my apprentice American breakfast everything cold , awful , looks good on the photos but awful ,

Hey. I accidentally ordered a brownie on table 28. I thought I ordered it from doctors tonic but I didn't realised I ordered it to you 🤦‍♀️sorry to waste your time.

Lovely spoons in Hatfield, food is always top nosh, pint of Abbot £1.99. What more can be said, a lot of history in the area which you can see all around the pub.

I ordered fish and chips..We waited 35-40 minutes which is not normal for Wetherspoons..When it came check out the pictures it was like 20 gram of fish covered with 150 grams with buttered bread

Good food, good prices, nicely furnished, a good pub.

Great place to call in while on holiday. One hour free at the car park made it even better. Ordered, ate and finished easy within the time

Really great prices, nice atmosphere and plenty of choice

Went in for breakfast it was a lovely breakfast but not hot felt like it needed 2 mins in the microwave this is what puts me of eating here as tried it a few times and always the same

Great service, but did have a sour cream pot with ketchup or something similar in the bottom of it not washed from use before

Had breakfast and coffee. Service was OK help yourself to coffee from machine. Breakfast roll very dry needed butter on it. Would go again if in area.

Cannot beat a Spoons 😁 We used to frequent The Chieftain, but since that place went down the pan with their menu refurb, we decided to look for somewhere new and here we are. Absolutely lovley food, always decently priced and toddlers get to eat pudding with their main.. fabulous 🤣

calm environment no music - plus for me service is excellent

Exactly what u expect from a weatherspoons, nice area to sit outside.

1st time there for a meal, excellent food and drinks. Quick service at your table. The only thing that stopped them getting 5*across the board. The serving staff need to be shown how to serve and clear a table. You should never lean across the table and guests to reach the other side of the table. But otherwise a brilliant evening. 😊

Just had a drink but service was good and staff friendly.

Some of the staff are so professional, you should be so proud of yourselves! Respect We come here weekly. You guys are awesome, keep it up <3

Nice place, historical airfield theme is a nice touch, friendly staff, food and drink decent. Only aspect to consider is the parking control which is not Weatherspoon's doing, but plan for having coins if you plan to stay greater than 1 hour. Definitely return

Nice good size. It looked clean and new. Friendly staff and didn't have to wait long for drinks or food. Was pretty quiet too but may have been cause it was a weekday.

Great food,staff,service,,recommend,,full value

I went there for breakfast quite early. The atmosphere reminded me of some five star hotels in terms of style and spaceiousness, and not too many people. Delightful. But it quickly went down hill as more people arrived, sadly.

Standard weather spoon pub. Family friendly. Great value. You have to pay to park if staying more than one hour and the machines only take cash. Nice garden areas.

Just really poor. Couldn’t find a table that didn’t have dirty glasses on it. There were at least 7 staff working, and yet it didn’t seem like anyone was doing anything. The problem seems to be that nobody was a leader amongst the group.

good place to enjoy a meal with friends and family. great for a catch up

We came here to this particular Weatherspoons today for the first time. We had drinks and a meal and decided to sit outside as the weather was lovely. Unfortunately , there were people sitting in the non-smoking area and one table asked another couple if they would be kind enough to move as they didn’t appreciate the smoke and they were told to F… off. Not one member of staff or management came to see what was going on. In the end, we were disgusted so we left. I spent over £100. I will be writing to the CEO as I have always supported Wetherspoons wherever possible but this behaviour is not acceptable. Tables were cleared nearly but no member of staff intervened.

It's a wetherspoons... You know the drill, but this one overall is well worth a visit!

Typical Wetherspoons with cheap drinks and food to fill your hunger; just don't expect too much or any quality control and you'll be fine. The burger bun was burnt 😫

Lovely environment and good customer service 👏

I was yesterday around 4pm I ordered chicken wings basket and they didn’t bring it at all.witing 45 min I’m never going back again. The manager was rude. Service is bad.

Place was dead tables needed clearing staff were having meeting in pub

Perfect for a quick bite at lunchtime 😋

Nice tasty good quality food almost completely ruined by this Wetherspoons inability to serve any of it hot ! Add this to staff who almost throw the food at you, will have to think hard about coming back to this one again.

The most modern Wetherspoons I have visited. Clean, spacious and, as always, excellent food and great value for money.

The staff are more interested in chatting with each other than serving the public

Not the greatest pub experience, staff were great but food was average

Breakfast is ready in 5 minutes, very tasty.

A really nice venue, large and open for large parties. However food is sometimes slow and often it has been below standard. This is normally due to being extremly busy.

Great prices in a nice and spacious venue with a big terrace. Good service also.

Service was poor, presentation of food wasn't great. Tables were not being cleared.

Called on way to Wembley there was no food and long wait for drinks as a number of staff had walked out

Food's great but one of the waiter poured half a glass of orange juice on my phone, looked at me in the eyes and left without saying a word. Absolutely disgusted by her behaviour.

Was pleasantly surprised at this weatherspoons. As the last one I was in which was Brighton was absolutely disgusting. Refused to eat there and left within 10 minutes ! However, this weatherspoons was lovely , fresh, very clean, tidy. Staff lovely , food could have been bit extra on plate . But all in all would definitely return there. Pleasantly surprised.

I’d like to review the food but we were a coach trip of hungry football fans and they took all the food off the menu! There was one person serving at the bar so no time for a drink either by the time they served us. Hatfield seemed very run down with rabbit hutch living and lots of litter. Made me sad.

Really lovely morning spent in spoons. We ordered breakfast and drinks at the bar. Breakfast came looking delicious and tea and coffee are refillable.

Fast, high-quality, atmospheric))) I offer it to the family on the weekend

Better than last time! My cap wasn’t stolen this time, however, I waited an hour for cheesy chips (which cost extra than plain chips) and when they FINALLY arrived….they were cheeseless. Absolutely disappointed in these chips. Maybe 3rd time is the charm?

Reasonably priced beer, nice hangout place and good wings :)

Young barmaid, white/clear glasses, you are an embarrassment to the establishment. Zero customer care skills, costing this business valuable business. Friendly to the whites, cold to people of colour. Never returning to this place

Having travelled across land and sea, the adventurer is surely unable to find a more convenient, surreptitiously smooth experience than the wetherspoons just off the a1 at Hatfield. Good service, great food, excellent parking, unbelievable value and speed that rivals any fast food establishment this side of timbuktu.

Bad place, Friday evening with one bar staff, customers going mad as a 45 minute wait for a drink. Rowdy groups of drunk people vaping and shouting and swearing. The management are just walking about with a glazed expression. Don't go there if you want to chill out. One of the kitchen staff was walking with the manager and pushing a trolley, hanging from the trolley was a big bag of food waste hanging open. As he walked past my chair, he dragged the open bag across my new jacket hanging on the back of the chair and they said nothing, the were totally ignorant, and I had old spaghetti Bolognaise all over my jacket, when I reacted the kitchen worker ran off and the manager laughed and said it was ok as he was being trained. Where do Wetherspoons get these people from? They are so unsuitable, especially as managers,

Don't waste your time had to send food back 2 times already what a joke

A nice afternoon lunch for my mate and myself, parking outside venue and the Parking Warden was brilliant ever so helpful as we are both Blue Badge Holders. The staff were very helpful which made the afternoon very pleasant for us.

Every time we visit this establishment they never have what we want. We have spent a lot of money here previously but the place has really taken a nose dive. No this, no that, "oh I'm sorry we are out of that at the moment" is all we've got for the last year or so. Not sure if management has changed but they need to sack whoever does the ordering. Won't be spending my money there anymore!

Great place for family or friends gathering.

We enjoyed a nice comfort meal. The service was very good. I liked my sausages and mash, can never have enough gravy but it was yummy. Pleasant

Went for breakfast with my family. Poor service, food not great.

Great pub if you're driving there. Typical wetherspoons really. You get pretty good service. App orders are very fast! Food ok

Lovely new build pub good location typical weatherspoons menu's prices but do have a few local brewery's on tap mad squirrel Highley recommended

The staff here is rude when I questioned them about my drink, the mocktail is bad.

I waited over an hour for a simple chicken burger....which wasn't even that great. My dessert, which I ordered an hour AFTER my main course, arrived AT THE SAME TIME!! Drinks were arriving promptly, which was the only good thing. Even had someone come up to us and tell my partner "turn your cap around or lose it", which was both really impolite, and completely unnecessary, as it took them over 3 hours to say anything. Disgusting.

Nice place to eat, normal Weatherspoons menu which is great value but can be rather slow in getting your food. I was sitting near the pass where each meal is ready to taken to the customer. My meal sat on the pass for 20mins, i assumed it was for a different customer !! In total it took 48mins for me to get my Halloumi burger !! Lots of meals which include a drink in the price, great idea. There was a shortage of sparkling wine / champagne which was disappointing. Plenty of car parking but it's not cheap, which is a shame as nearly all car parks in Hatfield are free.

Good place for lunch. It's the usual Wetherspoon value and a useful location for the local business traffic. Free parking just outside, so convenient. We visit regularly when in the area.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received on Saturday night. We waited almost 40 minutes for our food, only to receive one wrong item. We then had to wait even longer for the correct meal to be brought out. While I understand that it was a busy Saturday night, the delay was not realy frustrating. However, what truly upset me was the interaction I had with one of your young female staff members. Instead of politely explaining the situation and asking us to leave at 8pm(because we had a kid), she rudely declared that everyone with children was being kicked out. This was not only disrespectful but also incredibly unprofessional. I expect all staff members to be trained to speak to customers with respect and courtesy. I must say, all the other staff members I interacted with before were lovely, polite, and welcoming. It is a shame that one negative interaction tainted my overall experience at your restaurant. I hope you will address this issue and ensure that all staff members are trained to handle similar situations more effectively in the future.

Absolutely shambles. I came on Friday the 15th of March with my two children at 18:11pm I ordered a chicken strip burger meal and j20 on the app. When my disabled daughter asked where her chips had gone they waiter with a camera on said I didn’t order the one with chips, which was 5:44p I paid for my my one 5:67p. I said it doesn’t make sense because on the app it said it was included my chips. She then said she going to speak to her manager. She came back and said the manager said we cannot have the chips included. I am very dissapointed and feel attacked being a black women with a disabled child. They then insisted I should call head office, and refused to give me her name. I am very angry and disappointed with how I was treated with my kids.

Average quality food, but at good prices

Very good value and good service, we were served within 5 mins by a well spoken, very presentable young man who was polite and helpful. Couldn't ask for more. Recent visit 14/03/24 was just as good and the food was excellent with speedy service too. We live 30 miles away, so can't visit too often but will do so whenever possible.

Bar staff don't smile and fill unwelcome and some are very rude

Wetherspoon's at its best. Clean, well spaced tables and friendly staff.

Lovely place to eat. Staff friendly

Modern Spoons adjacent to the Galleria shopping centre.

Okay so we're talking wetherspoons here,nothing fancy, BUT the food was really good, had burger and chips, pretty decent. The place was clean and tidy staff were lovely, what more do you need. 😀

We visited for Sunday Breakfast. Wasn’t very busy but most tables hadn’t been cleaned, nor the chairs and don’t even get me started on the floor. Food took ages and was both burnt and cold at the same time! Quite an achievement. The only positive I can give is that the guy that bought our drinks over was very informative about where the coffee machine and sauces were. Otherwise, avoid!!!

it's a bit grubby but is cheap.

A really clean and well maintained Spoons. The ordering was quick and simple. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was cooked to perfection, which is the first time i can honestly say that about a Spoons pub! I was really impressed and we will definitely be coming back even though we live in London.

Klimatyczny pub. Fajna atmosfera.

The food is good and it's decently priced. It comes with a non alcoholic drink or alcoholic drink of your choice. The food arrives at your table relatively fast as well. There's also breakfast from 8am to 12pm, really good stuff on the breakfast menu. Don't forget your ID on Fridays.

My favourite pub within the Hatfield area; great atmosphere

For drinks, very good atmosphere

Overall a great experience throughout. Food is good for the price and it’s one of the more economical place to hang out with friends.

Great value and quick service as always. Shame the tables aren't wiped down after being cleared.

Nice dishes like never before with excellent customer service and a friends environment.

Good local pub, it's still looking in fairly good shape, nice prices, beer garden is not much as too many lorries, but food and good ale makes it OK as not many pubs in the area...

Good place to have a drink and a bite. Reasonably priced also. Loads of parking but you need to be mindful of where you park. Avoid using the residents parking bay as ticket officers are quick to ticket. Parking is also free after 6 in the designated areas. Smoking area outside , for those who smoke.
