Simmons The Bakers in St Albans

My friend and I treated ourselves to Notcutts Festive Afternoon Tea with Prosecco in lieu of a present, and were absolutely delighted with it. The tea itself was fresh and plentiful, with some novel ideas, like a ‘pig in blanket’ and a strawberry trifle. The staff were attentive and friendly. Special thanks to the manager, Jeff, for creating a good seasonal atmosphere. The price was very reasonable, much lower than other venues, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the tea to others. Hope you continue to provide similar offers at other times of the year. Happy Christmas!🎅

One star because the bagel was good but the service was dreadful. My daughters food was handed to me on a dirty plate. I requested a clean one and the utterly miserable girl on the till tried to persuade me that the mucky marks were from the food itself! Instead of just replacing it. It was a simple request, politely and quietly made. I had to stand my ground as she was making it an issue. She then proceeded to pull a face that made the next customer snigger. Appalling and rude behaviour that was totally uncalled for. This branch of Gail’s obviously thinks it has St Albans in it’s thrall.

Habiendo conducido hasta pasado el campamento un número de veces que me pareció que era tiempo para comprobarlo esta pintoresca casa público grande. El pub tiene un montón de mesas al aire libre; dice amplio aparcamiento y los lugareños es un buen pub. Visitamos un viernes por la noche y me pareció el lugar cerrado; se cree que el campamento había sido recientemente cerrada y está destinado a ser demolida y sustituida con viviendas. Una gran pérdida para la comunidad a la que sirve.

Nice but waited several decades to get served at the bar on a Saturday afternoon.

Chips were cold and food only warm .
