Pear Tree Inn in Welwyn Hatfield

Absolutely amazing food with good service , the flavours were out this world

To borrow from the Michelin Guide: this restaurant offers exceptional cuisine—truly worth a special journey. Each dish is crafted with precision and heart, leaving a lasting impression well beyond the final bite. A special thank you to Mia, the restaurant hostess, for her warm and personalised service that elevated the entire experience.

5 stars from me. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The room I stayed in was great value for money and the food was amazing.

Was invited to a friends party and was held in the pear tree function room. Very fair price for hosts and very welcoming and lovely owners and staff. Although I can’t comment on the food as we didn’t have food here, it smelt absolutely amazing on entering the establishment and will definitely be coming back to try, would advise booking thou as seemed so busy. Maybe we will come and book a room and have a meal, just unfortunate they don’t allow dogs as we would be here more with our pooch.

Visited the Pear Tree Inn for the first time over the weekend during their Easter fair and decided to try the food after hearing they serve Indian. I went for the Tandoori Mix Grill. While the chops and wings were decent, the rest of the platter lacked flavour. The lamb seekh kebabs, in particular, were overcooked and dry. One thing that really stood out in a bad way was the tiny portion of onions on the sizzler. It looked like they'd only used half a small onion, which is disappointing considering it’s one of the most essential parts of a Mix Grill. On the plus side, the chutneys were tasty, and the Guinness was solid—even though a half pint came in a Fosters glass. That said, the price was reasonable, especially compared to what you'd pay in London. Hopefully, next time will be a better experience.

The food is really nice but they make up delivery and collection times and can leave you waiting hours. If you call you get a lot of hot air. The lady who answers the phone has quite a bad attitude. It’s a shame as we like the food but the service is pretty shocking. I’m editing to add some further context as again the response is not right. We were completely mucked around, my partner arrived for a collection that moved from 20 minutes to over an hour. I called to ask why you’d changed the collection time so drastically and you said you were busy. I then said ok I’ll cancel it as he didn’t want to sit in the pub for an hour, we have a small baby at home. The lady hung up on me. You waited for him to leave and for me to cancel the order to then call and say it’s ready now do you want it. I then asked for a delivery and you said yes with an extra charge, it took a further 45 minutes for the food to arrive. No gesture of kindness to acknowledge that this was perhaps not a great experience. This has happened before and that’s why I’m taking the time to rate. I think one time the lady on the phone in response to another huge delay and change in timings she said if she could teleport it to me she would. That’s helpful. It’s bizarre that you don’t know how to change the times on your own app so these confusions do not happen. But what you’ve said genuinely is incorrect.

Recently hosted a meal after my daughter’s baptism here and even though we’ve been before as regular diners, we were absolutely delighted with the service. A special shout out to Mia, who took great care in helping us plan everything… and even came in on her day off to ensure everything ran smoothly!

Exceptional dining experience at Pear Tree Inn We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Pear Tree Inn as a family and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was nothing short of exceptional. A special thank you to Mia, Sagar, Shreyas, and Swapna for their incredible hospitality. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanour made our evening even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcome and well looked after. The culinary team deserves the highest praise as well. Head Chef Ram, along with Chef Sai Ram and Chef Suman, crafted an exquisite menu with dishes that were both beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The quality of ingredients, creativity in preparation, and perfect execution made for an unforgettable meal. We highly recommend the Pear Tree Inn to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a meal out, you can expect exceptional service and outstanding food. We will certainly be returning soon!

We had amazing food at this place. We had karai lamb and methi chicken. The best Indian food in this area. The staff were amazing with us. Gave us recommendations on dishes. We even took food home.

Nice room. But the pub below is fabulous. Good drinks prices and the Desi food is really good and reasonably priced

I went to Pear Tree Inn just to have dinner. Now let me tell you something…! This is an actual Indian restaurant with a traditional Indian menu. I would go there again and again to eat. Thank you to the staff and chef, you were all very welcoming.

Excellent Indian food. Clean and nice accommodation. Great staff.

food was so good - would return just for the food. drinks are also well priced. and a darts board & pool table !

Excellent place recommend. I travel around the UK and stay in an enormous number of hotels and pubs I can say that the food is excellent. The rooms are clean and warm. As with all places, even 4*, it’s not perfect but for what you pay it is great place to stay.

Brilliant food, no added sugar like other Indian restaurants. Just flavour 10/10

Probably the best Indian in Hertfordshire. Excellent food. Great vibe, very homely. Service is top notch and extremely fast. Great place for a family or friends meal and drinks!

"Absolutely the best curry in Welwyn! The food and service are truly first class. I had the lamb shank curry, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The kids loved the keema fries and prawn 65—both were a big hit! We started with some delicious meat samosas that were crispy and full of flavor. The drink selection is fantastic, and the freshly made cocktails were outstanding—we tried the lychee and strawberry daiquiris, and they were perfect. Highly recommend this place for amazing food, drinks, and an all-around great dining experience!"

Order for delivery was placed at 19:00, we're still waiting for it and the time is 21:02. Food arrived! Do not recommend you order from here for delivery.

A pub that sells really good Indian food, what else could you ask for?

Great spot to watch the game, have a drink & most importantly eat REAL Indian food.

Excellent food and drinks. Great service!

Had amazing food here last week, was amazed at the flavors, Will 100% be back

Such a lovely family meal…great ambience on a Sunday night. Fresh tasty food. Great mix of music with friendly staff.

Great food and service! Honestly the bar staff are so friendly, and made me feel very welcome to the area

Had a fantastic first time dining and drinking here! Great food with quick service and well priced for the quality you get. A shoutout to our server Nish!

Great pub, can't remember it being this nice, Good beers to say the least

I have ordered here before and come to the restaurant and can attest to the good food, the service is another thing. I tried to call to order last Sunday, someone picked up and said they couldn't take my order as the manager wasn't there, didn't offer to write it down or anything. He said the manager would call back but after 20 min I hear nothing so I called again, the same person answered but said 'Ma'am I told you we would call you back' I don't have all day? Obviously they never called me, I just don't understand why they couldn't lie and say the kitchen was closed. I wouldn't have waited so long and missed out on ther food I may have wanted to order. I won't be calling again I'm afraid.

Staff were sobfriendly and helpful. Place is immaculately clean, and the food is awesome. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic authentic food, good beer and great service, a real shame it's not my local as I'd love to eat here time and time again

I could do anything for this okra

I’m sure they are able to do better than that. Just a bit of effort is needed. Pls consider rooms with 2 single bed as well

I got a takeaway from here the food was delicious and the service was amazing

Such nice guys running this place. Lovely food. My favourite place to have a curry in wgc.

We had food and a drink. The food was really good and the place is clean and tidy.

Spacious pub. Eaten here several times now, and the food is fantastic ! As good if not better than a Micheline Star Indian restaurant I have eaten in. Decent size portions and amazing flavours. I have taken lots of people here and never disappoints. Make a visit soon....

Great welcome and service. Good choice of beers. Food smelt amazing.

Food was amazing along with the customer service. Will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend

Nice place with great outdoor garden. Beware: pizza has coriander leaves on it (!!!). Apart from that, the food is good. And drinks are not that expensive. Car park can get full quickly.

we attended a celebration of a close family friends Sons wedding and the Vegetarian food was just too good and very tasty

We slept well in the room. Tea, coffee and biscuits were welcome in the morning. Staff were friendly and took us to the room. It was convenient for a wedding we were attending.

Nice looking pub and garden to sit outside. Rooms clean and spacious. Staff friendly. Sadly no restaurant on Monday so had to go for food somewhere else. Good atmosphere. One issue was the bathroom towels were stinking, not great. Overall I would recommend, lots of parking space even for a large van.

Very bland food. £7.50 for 6 poppadums!!! Thats just insane. Great place if you don’t value flavour as a core requirement.

I asked if they had gammon on their menu before I hauled the kids inside and had to spend several minutes explaining 'gammon steak' to the staff.. Fair to say we gave it a miss 🤪

Lovely food, and service is decent. Only weird thing, they have a reserved sign on every table. When you ask behind the bar if there are any free tables, turns out they all are available and nothing is reserved.

The food at this place is the absolute boll**. If u love Indian food this has a twist and is great. The flavours are beautiful and cooked to perfection. Being a chef myself I'm not easily impressed but this place ticked all the boxes. Trust me and give it a try u will not be disappointed. Much love guys keep up the good work

People and food was fantastic. The beds are very small . Very basic room Noisy with the doors leading into the accommodation banging quite loudly. We ran out of hot water half way through the first shower on the first night but we got full hot showers the second night.

was staying here for our festival in Hatfield, really nice clean rooms and they even let us check in early which was really helpful. would definitely stay again :]

Excellent Indian cuisine, friendly staff and cosy room

Went in there for food. It was the best you get in the area

Hired a room, the smoking area had no lighting and there was only one person serving drinks resulting people having to buy from the main bar due to waiting time

I'm not a local to this area but came cross it by chance. Great service and tasty indian food. Visited twice in a week and will be going back again.

Excellent service and delicious food and best location too

Good staff and quality food with reasonable price. Food tasty must try

Had a curry lunch. It was superb! Best I've had I think. Service was good and the beer was cold. My go to pub when I'm in the area!! Highly recommended.

Local pub with good quality food not expensive at all a nice place to go out and eat. Parking is also easy I would definitely recommend it and will be going back again for sure

Writing reviews is not something I ever think to do but after trying the food there I had too! It's rare to see service this good and food that is honestly mouthwatering, I had the garlic chilli mogo and chicken Tikka and you will not regret eating here! some of the best food I've eaten in years. Oh and to be fair, amazing bar too!

I quite enjoyed this place although it didn't meet my standards. First of all on my garlic naan I must admit scarcity of green herbs such as coriander or parsley was eminent, however this is just a minor misdemeanor.I also have to mention the fact that there was sauce on my chicken lollipop meaning no crispiness. However this is just my personal preference on whether I want sauce on my chicken lollipop or not. Overall though I think this place is a must visit as the rest of the food was of optimal quality and taste. I would definitely recommend the Masala Fries and the Chilli Paneer.

Went down for a Sunday meal as a group of 8 for a friends retirement. Had a 3 course meal. This is only my personal experience. Starter I had kebab, tandoori chicken and lamb chop, all three were quite bland, the lamb chop was chewy and not near enough to what I’ve had elsewhere. Main course was not too bad, but for dessert 🍨 had the cheesecake as have a nut allergy for played safe. It tasted several weeks out of date. Had 2 bites and couldn’t bare to have anymore.

Had the Indian Street Food - brilliant! Great service and the food is lovely and fresh. Highly recommended!

Very nice meal cooked fresh staff were polie and helpful

Had a lovely meal here last night - very tasty and staff were very nice and attentive to our needs - I have DJ Ed here in the past and will find some images to share but look forward to working here again very soon best wishes and top job BlueMark Entertainment

The Best Indian Real Punjabi Restaurant. Great tasting food with big portions. Highly recommend this restaurant give it a try and I'm sure it'll be one of your favourites.

An underrated gem. Good beer selection and great garden. Will try the food next time.

Amazing food, thank you so much!! 😊

Great food, good service everytime. It's rare to find such pubs offering authentic Indian cuisine at reasonable prices. Locals also embrace the change nicely and overall it's a success story. All we can hope is now for consistency and that the pub never changes owners 😀 Update: service is still top notch. Same taste and experience. Love the place and have been a regular ever since my first review.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere and good service!

A planned evening out with work colleagues, food was outstanding, great atmosphere with pool table, dartboard and bar area, car park and outside garden. Would definitely recommend popping in if you're in the area.

Best Indian food in town!! And really friendly helpful staff. Thank you Peartree Inn

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good service ,keep up guys ❤️

Lovely Asian food, highly recommend their butter chicken & naan !

By far the best Indian restaurant in WGC and surrounding areas. The staff were very welcoming and the service was on point. The staff made sure we were happy with our meals and the owner came out to greet us too. We will be back for sure!
