The Angels in North Hertfordshire

We all had the roast beef diner and ordered some pigs in blankets as and extra. the whole experience was very good staff very friendly and professional. The coffee and midi blonde was just enough after a beautiful well cooked professional roast dinner Thankyou. We are thinking of booking our Christmas day there as menu looks good .

A perfect venue for a big family party - age range 5 to 95. We booked part of the venue for a 95th birthday party. The play areas kept the children happy so the adults could enjoy themselves. Everyone had pizzas and the staff did a great job getting 34 meals out quickly and were friendly and good humoured. Food was tasty and very reasonably priced. We all had a lovely family afternoon. Thank you, The Angels! Highly recommended!

We visited early Saturday evening, such a wonderful experience. Great food, served in a timely manner and fantastic service from Toni who made us feel very welcome. The addition of a small soft play area was a hit with our children too.

This was our first time here and we was impressed with the roominess of the restaurant. The food was very good as was the service , we really couldn't of asked for anything better. We will be returning here again and looking forward to it.

Took my grandchildren here for lunch. Superb service, lovely food, great fun. We will definitely go again. It was recommended to me and it was apparent why.

My partner and I had a fantastic meal at the Angels today, Freshly cooked and tasty, Staff very busy, but attentive. We will definitely be back.

Mothers day family meal for 6 of us, Brittany and her staff were very attentive and service was quick. Came in to check on us when needed and a pleasant experience all round. Set menu prices slightly high but service was spot on within the soft play table area.

Lady who is working today is so rude this is not the 1st time we have experienced this with this lady. Even 2 ladies came to bar after us even noticed her attitude to them aswell. She def needs to update her inperson skills. If you don’t like your job quit as working with public you def need bubbly personality not the grim reaper. Quality of our drinks was nasty aswell so won’t come here again which is shame as live close by

Found The Angels online as it was halfway into our journey. It has good reviews & an indoor softplay area which was exactly what we were needing on a wet “be-twixmas” day. We received a warm welcome despite not booking a table in advance. The staff were super friendly. Unfortunately we only had 1 hour to eat & go to make it to our final destination on time but there was a long wait on food. It would have been given a warning or updates, meaning we had to chase up our food order, “wolf it down” (it was yummy!) and take our desserts to go to make it on time. The toilets weren’t the cleanest either sadly. The Angels had the potential to be great - maybe caught them on an off day?

While it's billed as dog friendly it's not dog tolerant (just). We had booked and was welcomed at the door. 3 adults, three kids and a small fog to dit in thd play area. We were shown to our seats and some 35 mins later asked to move as dogs are nog allowed in that part of the pub. They need to be on the hard floors. Please note the play area had hard floors. We moved to the main area. Our food arrived 45 mind after ordering and my chios were cold and yhevsteak tough. When I asked for cutlery you would have thought I had asked for the keys to yhe safe. Not a pleasant visit.

Daniel the manager did his absolute best to accommodate us and our two children, despite the fact that they were short staffed and busy. Being in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere made our whole experience a very good one. The dessert was amazing!! Would highly recommend!!

My granddaughter and grandson had their 4 th birthday party at the Angels. Their parents booked out the soft play area. The children made their own pizzas. It was great fun and very relaxing for the adults. The staff were lovely.

Good food and friendly staff I was served by a lady named Kate. I ordered the ultimate grill special, she informed me that they were out of Gammon However I could replace it with extra chicken. This showcased her professionalism, and positive engagement. There was also another server, whose name, I sadly cannot recall (he was wearing a grey jumper) who made a funny joke when he delivered me my large plate of food and asked if I was hungry, which I found humorous. He was also a positive experience and showcased professional service. In the short management and staff provided exemplary service and the food was well priced and delicious

We had my mum’s wake at the pub on 17th Oct and it was great. Staff were very respectful and nothing was too much trouble. Food and drinks all very good and they boxed up leftovers. Very good value for money. Lots of space and loads of parking. Very near to crematorium. 10/10.

Came for coffee with family for half term with kids. John was really helpful - we hadn’t booked, but he quickly found us a table though. Kate was great with cookie decorating for the kids for Halloween, with donations going to a great cause! Will definitely return!

Great place for keeping the kids entertained and the food is spot on Daniel made sure we was happy at all times and looked after us !!!!

My brother in laws wake was held here and the food was first class, plenty of variety, the sandwiches were packed with a selection of fillings. There were delicious hot breaded chicken, a few bite sized fish dishes and a few bite sized desserts. We were given an area of our own. The staff were great at topping the food up. I would highly recommend holding an event here.

I visit the Angel regularly- its perfect for my two young boys and normally the service is good. However, today as it was very warm inside I took the boys out into the park. I told the waitress that I would be outside and I left all my belongings on table to reassure her that I would be returning. The waitress came out to the park and told me that I had to settle my bill as the manager was fearful that I would 'do a runner'. As if this wasn't bad enough she escorted my mum to the bar to pay the tab. We were planning on staying for lunch and was not ready to settle the bill. I am disgusted and appalled that they questionned my integrity and made us feel like criminals. I am regular customer but after this incident today I will not be returning.

The place is lovely and relaxing we arrived just as a huge table of 40 arrived so we did have to wait hour for our food but the young gentleman called oliver i think who served us was polite and friendly and the pressure of serving customers and delivering food was polite and well mannered I would say please get more staff as I can stress from the workers as I can see not enough staff for the rush hours but we'll done to all staff for coping woth the stress and rush

Went with my boyfriend and took my nieces and nephew, they loved the soft play it was brilliant! Lots of noisy kids but what can you do. We felt like a pain as we kept moving tables as others was booked up, we had a lovely waitress Hailey (I think her name was) help us, very friendly and helpful and even though very busy kept a smile on her face and so did everyone else :) was a half hour wait on food but it came fairly quickly, food was lovely and we definitely will be returning for date nights. Thank you guys!

Never been before and it most certainly won’t be the last. I went in with my mum and grandparents for a bite to eat/drinks and it was lovely. Was a little sad they didn’t have ice left for the drinks but it’s not a big deal. Our waitress who was Scottish can’t mind her name was so polite and cheerful she made our experience delightful. Would highly recommend.

The Angels is my local and I always enjoy my visits there. Good food, lovely atmosphere and great people. However, my lunch with friends on Friday 21 July was very nearly my last visit ever. Not because of the food or service but because I ordered a steak dinner and promptly managed to choke. John (the manager) literally saved my life by performing the Heimlich manoeuvre. If it weren't for John, I would not be here to write this review. So John, thank you once more. You're a hero :) (This is no reflection on the quality of the steaks, by the way. They're excellent. Just remember to chew).

Great place to eat, food was all very tasty and good portion size, soft play clean and tidy, staff very friendly and efficient. Would recommend

Pricey but the staff, Owen in particular, made for a pleasant experience. Owen took our orders politely and efficiently.

Good drinks & food. Everyone was nice and Owen in particular was very attentive and helpful. Great staff member and a good addition to the team.

Just eaten a fantastic meal - both pizzas on the half price monday pizza deal . They arrived quickly and were delicious , one a normal pizza and I had a halo version with lovely fresh salad. Couldn’t fault the serving staff in anyway -...

Horrendous wish I could rate it a zero. Bar staff clueless and server staff clueless, to top it off manageress rude and unapologetic! Food took over 1.5 hours to come. Steak was tough, chips burnt and everything taste of vinegar on the other meals. Awful...

We were told that we would have to wait half an hour for food but we waited far longer. I ordered Hunters Chicken that looked disgusting but at least it was hot because my chips were cold and I had to ask for more. The...

Its a shame this pub is run so awful. Me, my partner, brother and daughter met up with a couple of other family members last night for a little catch up. It came to 9 o clock (which I know children need to leave by)...

We booked a table for two and specifically asked to be seated away from the kids area. We were shown to our table, the room was stifling, the tables was literally next to a table where customers helped themselves to cutlery sauces etc, so people...

awful service at The Angels this afternoon. No stock so had to change menu choice 3 times! overcharged, then refused refund. Waited ages for the food in the first place! Dreadful! Avoid this restaurant ‘You can’t have a refund but we’ve said we are sorry’....

Just got home after a fantastic lunch at The Angels. Very accommodating staff. Excellent service by Kate. Thank you guys! We shall be back. Food was tasty and the kids area is spot on.

Me and my husband went with our two children . It is a lovely pub for children . The play area is brilliant , however the food isn’t great unfortunately. My husband had the mash and slow cooked beef which was a special , the...

Ordered the steak and ale pie. It was pathetically small (pictured below) £13.00 Dad ordered dirty fries with extra chilli beef. There was no beef on them. We complained the reply was ok then they walked off and never came back, awful food, rude staff...

Excellent Sunday roast Value for money plenty of food on the plate which was hot The lamb shank had hardly any fat so only waste was the bone Customer service brilliant everyone helpful and friendly Will definitely visit again

Can only state facts: On arrival we were ignored. Several staff members walked past us not even an acknowledgment of our presence. Doesn’t bode well. A little be with you in a moment would have sufficed. After 5 minutes of being seemingly ignored waiting to...

This is great place for many reasons. The staff are fabulous, the kids play area is brilliant and keeps everyone occupied whilst the adults have a drink and lunch, the outside area is great forbdining, drinking and kids playing. I've just had my daughter's party...

We came here for a Pizza Party for my granddaughter and her friends. They all had a wonderful time, staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Adults had lunch after. It was all very nice and the soft play area kept the children...

It was our third time visiting here this evening as a whole family for a meal. I honestly can’t fault a single thing. Four children and two adults all ate the meals completely (that’s a rare thing!). The puddings were served really quickly and tasted...

A good place to bring our niece. She loved running around the soft play area (and some of us had a good time running after her!) while the rest of the family got to catch up and have a chat over a Sunday lunch. We...

Great family friendly welcoming pub that is suitable for both adults and children. Highly recommended. Never easy eating out with children but had an enjoyable time and the food was superb. Will be visiting again soon.

Great meal, great service..... Great time. Food excellent. Booked last minute, glad we did. (party of 8). Top marks for John & Shelby.

Been told there are walk in tables available but when arrived was told that this was not the case, despite being told differently from the telephone number I called. Was told that ‘reservations’ is an external company and they cannot see what table availability there...

We came to the pub today at lunch time. The place is clean and tidy and the boys loved the play area however they now charge £2.50 per child using the equipment which is a cheek. The service on the bar by a guy was...

Not perfect, but the team and manager in particular sorted it out. Every business has issues sometimes and it's an opportunity to see how they work to rectify them. That was spot on. Food good, served quickly with a smile. New team member being trained...

The team are super friendly. Food was really good. Great selection of drinks. Menu has a good variety even for the fussiest of eaters. Would recommend and come back again.

Love this pub, great food although the menu could do with updating. The service is always great, the staff are absolutely fantastic- just want to mention Lisa prpa, she always goes above and beyond when serving my table, and I’m always greeted with a cheery...

Service was Excellent, staff were very polite and helpful and in fact they went out of their way to help with the birthday cupcakes. Soft play on a Monday evening was quiet but ideal for the little ones.

The team were really helpful and positioned us in a reasonably private room out of the way of through traffic, which was great! they were warm, friendly and attentive and it was great to host our meeting there. Thanks very much!

Went for lunch today and had a lovely time small issue with 1 meal and Lisa the lovely lady working bent over backwards to rectify the issue she was extremely attentive with a warm smile and fantastic people skills Will definitely be returning again and...

The Angels in Hichin has fabulous facilities for all the little angels who visit with their mums and dads. A very warm welcome for adults too, had a smashing meal there last night.

Business lunch today Xmas menu the best meal I've had. The staff are so lovely and the food is out of this world thank you so much happy Christmas and a prosperous 2023 you all deserve it

Really great afternoon had, with good food and great service by Lisa, who was great with the kids, helping them to chose what they wanted to eat in a very friendly way. Thank you

Service at the beginning was terrible, the girl on shift had no idea what's she's doing, waited 30 mins for a drink then over 40 minutes for our food order to be taken, had a stag party in and they struggled with the keep up...

I had the dinner many times in this pub with my wife and kids, even togheter with other friend families. Food is ordinary, nothing special, they had a nice soft play (charge £2 per kid) however the booking system is crap. Many times we had...

Made a online booking for a table at the soft play area , then I called the pub to confirm it . When we've got to the pub we've been told by the manager we don't have a rezervation , seems like is abother company...

We booked last minute onto the Childrens Halloween Party and had a great time! It was really well organised and thought out. It wasn’t over booked and plenty of space for everyone table wise. It was a really good atmosphere with Halloween decor and music...

Booked a month ahead and sent in pre orders for my daughters birthday. Service was awful. No one come over to see if we wanted anything to drink. Food arrived after a hour and a half of waiting. The food all arrived at different times...

We arrived and was seated but left for a good 20 minutes so went to the bar to order, we were told there was a waiter in the area and we should order with him however he was nowhere to be seen so asked to...

Very impressed with the Sunday roasts and indoor and outdoor children’s play areas. That said, it was very busy and quite noisy as there were a couple of long tables with childrens parties going on, so they could definitely have done with more staff. The...

Sam and Keira ,…Michael and neil in the kitchen made our Thursday night for food and drink special.. Thanks for everything

After driving around looking for somewhere to eat goggled this place on TripAdvisor and thought why not give it a shot. Had the most warmest greeting from Laura who was more than happy to accommodate my friend and I and we were seated at a...

We went with our 2-year-old son and he certainly loved it. Great to have a soft play and outdoor play area which as parents give you a bit more of a chance to actually sit down and relax rather than constantly having to entertain the...

I can't say enough good things about this place. The food on all 3 visits has been amazing, including their sunday roast. The service is beyond the best. Their staff are beyond brilliant. I am a silver service trained waitress and rarely have seen this...

What a great time we had in July,we were all celebrating our Golden weddings 50 years married ! We were looked after so well,great service and food,thank you for making our day with you so special !

Visit often but our waitress Hope has been the best by far! Thank you for being so efficient with a great sense of humour xxx

After a lovely walk we decided to stop for a drink, we looked at the food menu and there's so much choice, we decided order. The pizzas were delicious and great value for money. And sitting in the garden was lovely on a sunny Monday...

We booked a table on 24/06/22 and we arrived there on time (7:00 pm). We went inside and waited for someone to find as a place to seat (the pub was quiet) and no one came to us so we had to chase someone to...

Went this evening after booking a table for 8 over the phone. The food service was a little slow but Ben our waiter kept us informed and was polite. Nice drinks, amazing food and great attentive service. Asked for a medium rare steak and it...

First off completely ignored by staff had to wait for over 40 mins for someone to take are order and even then was pretty rude then the long long wait been waiting for almost a hour at this point just for food. My 6 year...

We were looking for a venue to hold a Wake and called in and spoke with John the manager there. He showed us round and pencilled us in - all very painless (plenty of parking btw). Once we had an idea of numbers the food...

Friendly and honest staff. Very clean inside. Did not have to wait long for food. Highly recommend the big breakfast. Good to see a veggie option available too.👌

The food is actually really nice and the atmosphere is good but the waiting is so long. Always waiting 30mins or more until even seen to have the order taken, this isn’t the first time this has happened it’s always.

Spent the afternoon at this pub, a friend and I decided to eat and both had Cheeseburger and chips, best burger I've had in ages and the chips were exceptional! Not only was the food so good, the staff, Brad and Ben were working hard...

Impromptu visit with a friend last night. Friendly welcome. Great service and tasty food. Really great place, will definitely be going back. Gardens looked lovely all lit up as we left! Thank you.

Very cool place. Modern, yet rustic decor. The manager, Brad was amazing. He was very welcoming and clearly knew what he was doing. He recommended the mixed grill which was fantastic. The locally brewed IPA was excellent. I'm already planning to celebrate my birthday there...

My husband & I had a lovely meal this evening. Absolutely loved the onion ‘nest’ & yummy sweet potato fries! Brad was great, really friendly & attentive. Will be back!

Waiters forgot meals, took long amounts of time with us sitting with empty plates and we're just overall bad. The food was good and the drinks were nice hit was let down by the service.

This pub is great if you have young kids. The soft play area is perfect for toddlers and a little older (a fee of £2.50 is charged per child). This gets busy, particularly at weekends, so best to call and book in advance if you...

Visited Sunday 8/05 with family for a late lunch. Shown to table and order was taken. Our food arrived before our drinks and we had to chase twice for them. Waiter was however very friendly and apologetic about this. The roast beef was very overdone...

Been here a few times now for the first time in many years and what a lovely place. Great food, great staff, and a special thanks to Laura and the rest of the team.

This review is solely for the waiter Ben we give him 5/5 very polite & funny he handled our banter and came back swinging he's been our waiter a few times and always a laugh and very good with the children until next time Ben...

I visited today with my 7 year old twins and one year old daughter. I normally ring before hand to make sure chicken dippers are available as my son has sensory disabilities and will only eat certain food. This time I didn’t ring as it...

Totally forgot to write my review we visited on the 8th of April the food was amazing I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection every one enjoyed there food it was also still hot considering there was about 17 of us, special recognition goes to the managers daughter Kate who is an amazing waitress really friendly always had a smile on her face she put up with a noisy family that day and she loved every moment of it so thank you Kate keep being amazing

Really slow service, waited about 5 mins to be seated, 10 mins to order our food and drinks, then 50 minutes for our food. They do cater for gluten free and dairy free - I ordered a pizza but it was hardly cooked. Staff were so slow and it wasn’t even busy. Hoping that we caught them on a bad day however I won’t be coming back again to find out! If you want decent food just drive a further 5 minutes to the Radcliffe Arms

called in as passing for a meal food was just above average, however Kimberly was well above average great service thank you

Everything great as usual except very, very slow service with the exception of the main course arriving quickly, but from then on things changed. The waitress was lovely but didn't know the difference between lager and ale, nor what ale they sell. That's absolutely not her fault, it's down to not enough training. Also it appeared she was the only waitress working that day, and there was a large children's gathering going on. Again, not her fault. There was a lady who greeted us when we came in who seemed as though she was in charge, perhaps she should have given the waitress a helping hand as there appeared to be quite a few bar staff. I'm not sure if we'll be going back again, for a while.

Cannot thank John and the team on Monday 4th April as had 2 hungry kids and they really wanted to use the play area at The Angels'. John made a table available despite a birthday party happening at the time, and food and drinks came out perfectly on time. Would highly recommend this place with or without kids.

Great experience with my daughter's Pizza party for her 5th Birthday, all the kids had good fun making their pizzas and playing in the soft play and I enjoyed it too, thanks to the helpful and nice staff that make it stress-free.

We went for a Sunday lunch for my Dads birthday. Value for money was very reasonable and the sharing platters were served with plenty of food for 2. My dads east pork was quite try, however still edible. We ordered a second round of drinks that took quite a while to come out, meaning we had to change one of them due to our desserts coming out before them. Apart from that, the service was good overall. We had 3 children in our party aged 5 and under, who had a great time playing in the soft play area.

Went here for a meal to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday. There were a few patrons there but to be honest the place was nearly empty but it was a Tuesday night and families were at home. The place is great for families as they have a playground for the kids.The food was delicious, I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. The others meals I'm told were excellent to. The staff were so friendly, helpful and really went out if there way for us. The young lady who seemed to be in charge needs to be employee of the month, brilliant people skills.Would defy go here again for a meal or even just a drink or two. Really recommend

If you fancy some delicious food, a welcoming environment, soft play for the children, and a great family atmosphere then this is your place!!

We had the pizza party for my daughter's 4th birthday. Could not recommend this enough! For the ease of the organisation and how smooth the day went. Staff very friendly and helpful. We then stayed for lunch so the adults could eat lovely food!

Great service, great food and good prices. Not too sure about the massive spider on the ceiling in the photo though

We visited this evening for my mother in laws birthday meal. We was welcomed into the establishment and given a really nice area to sit in. The 3 older children was able to play in the soft play area. We had drinks food and pudding for four adults and four children and I can’t praise them enough. I have four children two of whom have special needs and sensory overloads. I unfortunately didn’t catch the mans name who dealt with us but I believe it to be “John” he went above and beyond to make sure we was all comfortable. Unfortunately my youngest son had a sensory issue and John? worked quickly to help without needing to and brought him out some similar food but in a different shape. These things may be little to others but to us it meant my son was able to eat a meal at a new place and fully enjoy the food without having to worry. I can’t thank him enough! This is literally a ten minute walk from our area and we’ve rarely visited before and never for family meal! We will surely be back and visit much more often! Thank you so much! It was a pleasure

The staff went out of there way to make sure we were happy . They knew how to talk and treat children with special needs including finding the youngest one something to eat that he liked and was not on the menu . They were friendly helpful and caring . The meal was hot tasted lovely . Plenty of choice for all would definitely go back again.

Booked a table this morning for a late lunch with toddler and baby due to their soft play area. Got a reservation saying booked from 3-5pm. Food and service was good up til about 10 past 4 when a waitress said that our table is booked by someone else from 4.30. We did t mind this too much, but I was still eating at that point and my toddler was supposed to have his dessert as part of the meal deal. Ordered and paid and 10 minutes later (before the dessert had even arrived) were told could we move now as the other table had arrived early. We were offered a different table after waiting around (away from the soft play area). This turned out to be a high bar table which doesn’t work for toddlers and babies. We ended up leaving very annoyed instead of happy with our experience. The waitress was very apologetic and I understand it’s not her fault. But management should really avoid overbooking their tables as it just feels like a money making scheme trying to get as many customers in and out.So just really annoyed T being rushed

Met up here with a friend and her toddler, attracted by the soft play for the little one. He had a great time but as with other reviews the service is shocking. Waited so long to be served. Went up to the bar instead only to be told someone would come to the table soon. Everyone in our party of 4 contracted norovirus after our visit….hopefully just a coincidence but this place is seriously let down by the service by long waits to order and in between course

Terrible service here now. It never used to be this bad. We attended on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't particularly busy. Despite being told we had a waiter, we were left for 20 minutes before we literally had to grab someone to the table to order a drink and some food. It must be a nightmare here if its busy. Better places in Hitchin.

Lunchtime booking - “are you alright? “ . Very unprofessional first impression. It went downhill. No service at the table. This was a shocking experience
