Simmons The Bakers in St Albans

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.

Had a great lunch here Monday 5/5. Four of us. We had spaghetti with prawns, pasta with chicken and mushrooms, steak and a pizza. Every dish was perfect. The service was professional, friendly and efficient. Despite being very busy, everything was presented fresh and hot WELL DONE. Bill Howard

I haven't even received my food

Vey disappointed, service was non existent and hygiene level poor ..we popped in for an cup of tea and a muffin mid afternoon ( 9/4/25 ) cafe was not overly busy . Firstly a member of staff decided to hoover the floor around and in between diners while they were eating , he wore some type of battery back pack which was so noisy you couldn’t hear yourself think ??. He then decided to remove the hoover head in the corner by the trays of food and drinks waiting to be served . We witnessed the head being yanked off by several staff . They then proceeded to serve the food and drinks waiting. Didn’t wash their hands after handling the Hoover head and dust from the head went where ? We had waited ages for our Hot drinks , and observed them just sitting on the side with no urgency to serve , eventually I had to go and collect our drinks myself . I raised the point the drinks would be cold and how hygienic was it to remove the hoover head over open food etc but the staff member just looked at me like i came from another planet . Where is basic food hygiene practise in this cafe ? Do staff even wash their hands ? Hot drinks were lukewarm by the time I collected them . Not a great experience , won’t stop for a coffee or a snack again Very poor standards M&S you should be ashamed .

The pizzas are very nice but the service is poor. Walked in to order, there was a guy at the front he did say anything to me, he just looked at me till I left. This was in Hatfield that’s not how you treat a customer!!!! Very disappointed ☹️
