Megan's at the old Bell (St Albans) in St Albans

Lovely meal at Megan’s. Our waitress Emily was nothing less than delightful and dealt with our awkward crowd incredibly well! Hope they know what a star they have there, will definitely be back

Took my daughter for pancakes at Megan at the Old Bell after some Christmas shopping. Lovely place pancakes were delicious and service was sweet. Will be back with the rest of my family! Thank you

Went there for a family lunch. The place is very good. The staff were helpful and welcoming. Food was nice albeit a bit pricey.

Emily was fantastic. Really lovely atmosphere and exceptional service

food and the atmosphere was super and Jim is a positive guy and had a lovely smile, we will come back again😊

everything was super nice, me and my wife we liked the shakshouka something differen and jim present it to us in the best way of marketing, love that place and that guy

Been there in St Albans megan a few times now, last time being previous evening .service was great with a staff member so helpful with the menu and with the whole order . I assume you have passion Ed staff members so that the experience to be a pleasant one,and it was thanks to him. But what I have noticed that over the years Management needs to improve as is obvious you don't have enough staff to manage the busy days. All good otherwise

Went to Megan’s for a work team Christmas lunch - the food, atmosphere and service was all very good and it made it a lovely experience. Emily was brilliant, very lovely and attentive. Definitely would visit again.

Food was lovely (i had the Chili Chicken -it was yummy), the service was great and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere

Excellent food, not the typical Mediterranean kind, delicious recipes and sauces. Very good cocktails. Lovely service from Emily

Amazing food and brilliant, polite and efficient service by Emily

Emily our server was efficient and very friendly. We enjoyed our visit to Megan’s in St Albans today.

Emily was very attentive and very efficient Made our lunch very enjoyable

Managed to get seated despite not having a booking and it being really busy around Christmas. Service from Emily was excellent. She was so polite, friendly and efficient. The food was great.

Great atmosphere and delicious!

Thank you so much to Jim and Austeja for their wonderful service!

Excellent food and excellent service. Will come back!!

Emily was super lovely and attentive:)

Lovely restaurant and ambience enhanced by our waitress Emily who was attentive, helpful and who actually knew the obscure ingredients in the dressing when we asked about it!

Lovely food and atmosphere, Emily was fantastic too! Thank you.

Friendliest waitresses I've ever had in my life and best kebab (I had the double chicken open kebab). Visiting from out of town but would definitely return.

Emily was great today! Friendly, professional and great service

Emily was lovely - and smoky and made our whole experience great.

The food (chicken shakshouka :) ) and atmosphere was amazing, as was the service by Emily - she was great!

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Special thanks to Emily for her outstanding customer service—she was attentive,and made the experience even better.

Thank you Emily for such lovely customer service, felt very attended to and looked after! :)

Great food, friendly staff. Went for brunch - busy great atmosphere.

Just had a very nice reasonably priced dinner. Excellent service and food. Thank you!

Everything was super great and I had a good experience, Thank you to Nora and Alana👌👍

Frosty attitude straight from our arrival. Completely understand that I messed the time up on our booking, but we were made to feel like we’d inconvenienced them by wanting to still have brunch, despite technically having an hour left on the time slot I had originally booked. Whilst I understand empty tables likely have reservations coming in, to make us feel uncomfortable for asking for a spot when most of the tables we could see in front of us were empty was unpleasant. The server who took our order (maybe a little new) didn’t look up from the iPad once whilst doing so with no interaction, eye contact or smile and one of us still received the wrong food, despite her reading the correct order back to us. The server who brought the food and we let know the dish was supposed to be scrambled egg not fried said “that’s not what it said on the ticket” in a very ‘this is your fault’ manner. Without offering sauces for the other food, she went back to change the dish. When she came back to say it was on the way, I asked for mayo. She brought the changed dish & my mayo, and my mum asked for ketchup for her replacement meal. We were shocked to receive an actual eye roll and a huffed yes, like we were in the wrong for asking for something else. The food that came was super yummy until I pulled a long blonde hair that was buried deep in my Shakshuka. This is when the service improved, with this issue being dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner. The whole experience lacked warmth and genuine hospitality- whilst I appreciate they might have been or about to become busy, not being made to feel like an inconvenience for giving them our money would have been nice!

Great choice of food . Service good. Not rushed to leave once finished meal .

Really enjoy coming here for brunch. Food is next level tasty. Service is amazing. Great vibes!

We love this place. The food and decor are always great. But best bit is the fantastic staff. Our server, Emily, was so lovely. Will be back again very soon

Austeja was amazing, very kind and attentive and made sure we got our complicated order right!!! She is an asset to the company!

Visited Megan's yesterday. Warm greeting at the door, which was a great start. The food was great. It was all about the posh open Lamb Kebab for me. Flavours!!! And the homemade style lemonade was on point. I had the world's biggest slice of carrot cake, which went down nicely! Good food, nice ambience and friendly staff. I couldn't ask for more. It's always nice to write a good review. So well done.

Lovely food and exceptional staff. Thank you Austeja and her fellow waitress, you made a lovely evening a very memorable one.

Amazing place , kids friendly ,tasty food

A disgraceful breakfast, the presentation and taste are very bad. It may have another name but it is definitely not Turkish serpme breakfast.

Lovely Neighbourhood Nights Menu. Went on a Monday - delicious food, great service and warm atmosphere. Thanks to Austeja!

This is definitely not a Turkish breakfast, the presentation is not pleasant at all, the image is disgraceful and does not deserve the money we pay, it was a very shameful disappointment for me, Can you see the Turkish baklava in the photo? How can it be served in a tiny container for 2 people? It's definitely not nice at all.

Austena and Shauna made our experience so memorable. They took such good care of us, recommended the restaurant’s best dishes (loved the Fondue) and overall the place has a great vibe. I’d totally recommend this for a cute date night!

Amazing place and service, we are coming here every other weekend for two years already. Lovely people, tasty food. Our dog is also warm welcome and well treated here. Can't choose other places to for food in the area.

Megan’s in St. Albans is one of my favorite spots! I’ve been there for brunch, dinner, and breakfast, and it’s always such a great experience. Their poached eggs on sourdough are amazing, but the open chicken kebab? Absolute winner every time! The staff are just lovely. Lucie and Isabella are so friendly and always up for a little chat, which makes you feel right at home. The service is spot-on too—they really know how to make you feel looked after. If you go, you have to try their chai or Biscoff lattes. They’re so cozy and perfect with whatever you’re having. Honestly, this place never disappoints!

The best restaurant, thanks to kane was very helpful

Wanted to try Megan’s for a while now as I always liked the look of the decor inside. We ordered the sharing platter to start and then the meat platter for main. The food was very fresh and just what we fancied. Only downside was the price for a draught beer, I paid £5.90 for 380ml. At that price I would expect a pint.

Kane was very helpful thanks you very much.

This was my first time trying Megan’s with a friend, we loved it and will definitely be back! The food was beautiful and the staff were friendly and very attentive!

Lovely food and great customer service.

We always enjoy the food and we are looked after very well during our breakfast visits by the lovely Loretta!

I don't have a bad word to say about this fabulous little treasure. The decor is utterly beautiful. We sat on one of the booths and felt like we were on holiday. We ordered the Turkish brunch platter for 2. It was so delicious and plenty for 2 people. The service was great as well. The 2 ladies that served us were friendly, happy and attentive. I will certainly be returning for lunch on my next trip to St Albans.

My wife and I had a lovely lunch with our baby at Megan’s St Albans today. The food was great, particularly the halloumi fries, and coffee very good also. The place has a lovely atmosphere, and the service from Lucie was fantastic - she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and had been looking forward to it.Unfortunately,our experience was a let down.Our booking was for 10 people @ 5pm and when we were placing our orders,we were told they had run out of something and could we choose something else.This happened another 2 times when ordering desserts and coffee..The service was slow and we were made to feel as if we were actually an inconvenience to the member of staff .

Had a nice meal with friends today. Kane, who I think was the manager and took our payment, was very helpful and made good recommendations.

I needed somewhere to work for an hour. The staff were incredibly welcoming and I had the best hot chocolate ever! The cakes looked incredible too. I will be back!

Friendly place. Lovely staff and tasty food.

Alana was lovely and attentive. The food was delicious.

Have eaten here a few times, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. My last visit I was served by Loretta who was very welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious, I had the shakshouka, we also tried the pancakes and pigs in blankets off the new festive menu and they were to die for. Prices are very reasonable and the general atmosphere is very chilled and warm. Would recommend! :)

First time in a Megan's, but as part of a group, it's not necessarily the best time to take it all in. However, a pleasant lunch from a varied Mediterranean style menu. My choice of Turkish eggs with nduja was very tasty and came with plenty of flatbreads 🫓. Others in the group all enjoyed. Clearly, a popular family place and dogs are allowed. Will look out for another branch closer to home to try again.

Lovely evening meeting with good friends in this delightful location, decor is gorgeous and food was so tasty I had falafel with hummus and shatsouka we were served by austeja who was really nice and some tasty treats were appreciated

Great food and great vibes. Our server Emily was brilliant.

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing vibe! It has a good environment for brunch with friends, or lunch/coffee while doing a bit of remote work.

The staff were friendly, the decor is lovely and the food was delicious. Is was nice to see some well behaved dogs in the restaurant and the service was quick.

Highly recommended... Very smiley and helpful staff, great atmosphere and good food...

Lucie was a lovely server and so friendly (: thank you!

I always come here for a coffee . Loreta has shown what Megan’s true atmosphere and values are. I was tired snd a bit sad. She gave me a hug snd a big smile that determined myself to come . I wish more places were like this! Well done Loreta ( its not just a coffee is connection and warm atmosphere )

Had a lovely lunch. The food was excellent, and Alana was a great waitress - friendly and attentive.

Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Server Jim was great 👍🏼👍🏼

Came for lunch today- food was delicious & our server Alana was great. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Had a lovely family meal here with great service. Our waitress Alana was really attentive and so friendly! Will definitely return here.

My friends and I went on Friday night and we had a lovely time. Alana served us and was wonderful - very attentive and great customer service.

Very pleasant dining experience, served by Alana who was very professional.

Me and my sister were served by a girl called Alana I think, she is one of the most lovely people and really informed us on the menu and her personal favourites. Would go back again due to the fantastic service and the open posh lamb doner !

Came in for lunch with friends and the service by Alana was great!

Alana was very helpful and patient whilst serving us and made our meal here a joy.

I had a very pleasant meal at Megan's, Loretta is amazing. She tries everything to accommodate your food allergy needs, double checks everything and always with a smile!

We had a lovely dinner with friends on Thursday 23rd May. The food was really delicious and the service was superb. Our waitress Stella was so kind, sweet and pilite. I will definitely recommend Megan's to my friends and family.

Just had an awesome brunch plate. This is now my favourite breakfast destination in St Albans. Nice work guys!!!

Pretty decor, some nice vegetarian options on the menu, a good place to meet friends for brunch. Not loud in the day time so you can hear each other talk and there is a child friendly menu with colouring in to help keep the kids happy. When we went our server Lucie went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and space for our pram, which was appreciated.

“Five stars! Megan’s has a lovely atmosphere, perfect for a family outing. We had the open chicken kebabs, and they were absolutely amazing. The staff were great with our little ones, offering coloring pages to keep them entertained. Special shoutout to our waitress, Lucie, who made the experience even more enjoyable with her friendly service. Highly recommend!”

We have a lovely date at Megan’s in st. Albans, the food was yummy and fairly quick which is soo relevant when you have younger children and our waitress Lucy was top! Very friendly with the little one and attentive, very good recommendations also! Thanks xx

Yet another lovely meal here today! Such a warm welcome too and Lucie remembered us from our last visit which was lovely. We were very well looked after and will definitely be back again! Thank you.

Amazing food, service from Lucy and atmosphere!

Absolutely great. Lucie was very attentive, had great suggestions for food and was always close by. Will definitely return :)

Delicious food & great service. Will come back again 😊

I have gone a few times and a very good meal, but today, I was not impressed with their Megan's breakfast. The bacon had been cooked and kept in a hot plate for a time not cooked to order, the Greek sausage all I could taste was the herbs, not the sausage, the rest of the meal was good. Excellent service from the staff.

Food is always delicious and quick service! Vegan options are amazing and my partmer was very happy with his full grill! Alana, our server, was lovely and welcoming!

Had an amazing meal here with the family last night. The decor is gorgeous, food was delicious and service was great, our waiter was called Jim. Will definitely be back again.

Great place with such a lovely atmosphere! The girl who welcomed us was so nice. We ate the best shakshuka! And the halloumi sticks with honey… omg! I hope I‘ll go there again when in St Albans.

A family friendly restaurent. It offers a wide selection across its menu's. There is paid parking available within a stones throw from the restaurent.

Food is average, typically cold by the time it gets to you. It's also on the expensive end. Serving staff are both unhelpful and forgetful. The only positive I can think of is that it normally has space. Not surprising given the quality of food and service. There are dozens of places in St Albans that do a much much better brunch so don't waste your money here.

We arrived, were seated by a fairly diffident young man who hardly acknowledged us, then waited for 20 minutes before leaving as no one came to take an order. Table next to us were in the same boat, having waited even longer, so we went elsewhere. Seems quite nice inside but obviously can't rate the food as we didn't get that far. Maybe we were unlucky on the day and they have staffing issues but it'll be a while before we try again.

Just dropped in on a busy Saturday lunch hour. No problem getting a table for 4 . Friendly efficient service. Food was good and was a bit of a Mediterranean - American fusion blend ...

Beautiful atmosphere, good food, and amazing staff. ♥️

Came for dinner at Megan’s Saturday evening after staying overnight in the area. We had the skewers for 2 with extra halloumi, fries and flatbread. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Our waiter was very friendly and pleasant. Glad we found this little gem and will definitely be coming back and recommend highly.

Thanks Alana for the great service!

Great dog and child friendly restaurant. Great decor and fun atmosphere. Has a holiday vibe. Ellie was great and very attentive.

We had a lovely breakfast! The staff were very friendly especially Loreta! Looked after us and brought over some treats for our dog! Will come back soon! Thank you ☺️

Great atmosphere, small but incredibly tasty plates, nice Middle Eastern influences . Perfect for sharing and nibbling. Everything is prepared well and the menu has stuff for everyone. Service is great , staff are friendly and they have a decent bar. sometimes there’s a wait so at busy times it’s best to have a reservation!

Really loved our meal here. The server Jaymie was wonderful and very thoughtful. She looked after us and made sure we always had drinks and that everything was okay. The food itself was excellent. A great selection of meat and vegetarian/vegan options, so there was something for everyone.

Oh their open kebab is everything!!!! The hot sauce that comes with chicken... Watch out for that. It's lovely!
