Great place to have dinner for the family. The menu changes every terms and they have specials. Food is fresh, all made by the students. Let them know about special diets or kids menu, and they will try to accomodate. £21 for 2 courses and £25 for 3. Good selection of gins cocktail. Support the students to gain the skills to enter hospitality industry. We all love to go out and they will be feeding and serving us.

We support local and nationally hospitality where possible. After a Facebook campaign about how the students weren't getting the full hospitality experience. We opted for the spring menu evening. Very simple but classic food. 4 starters 4 mains 3 puddings We had asparagus poached egg and hollandaise Grilled Chicken with spring green fattoush Soft shell crab Mains Pan Roasted Lamb, new potatoes peas a la Francais and lamb jus Chicken Pot Pie sautéed potatos creamed cabbage Salmon fillet with asparagus, tomatoes, new potatoes with a creamy white wine sauce. Puddings Chocolate Mouse with white chocolate macarons Chaux pastry ring filled with fresh cream and seasonal and new fruit Lemon surprise, lemon sponge with a lemon sauce, severed hot with vanilla ice cream. They do them nights. Highly recommend

Just had another amazing meal at The Atrium. I went with my son for the special Chinese new year evening. As usual the atmosphere was just right, the service friendly and the seared salmon with noodles was out of this world - all for an amazing price. The house wine is always perfect too - lovely and chilled. We'll definitely be back!

I am a regular here with different groups of friends and am rarely dissatisfied with the service or the food. It is a training establishment so both the waiting staff and the chefs are students but I feel that their standard is very good, considering this. Opening hours are limited and the menu is small but it is very competitively priced and is worth seeking out. I particularly enjoyed the themed evenings on a Thursday which means a different cuisine each week with lots of new things to try. Normal price for this is £16 for 3 courses.

Went to The Atrium on 'Rock the Burger' night. Tables nicely spaced out and set out nicely. Students a little nervous to start but gained in confidence and were delightful. Food was excellent even my fussy son was impressed. Deep fried brie was delicious. 3 of us had burgers which were lovely especially the onion relish and 1 had Cajun chicken burger which she said was very tasty and not too heavy on the Cajun. Excellent onion rings, chunky fries and coleslaw. Carrot cake with orange sauce was delicious and with 2 rounds of drinks and using 2 Tastecards came to £55.00 for 4 people. Am going back for Diwali night and can't wait. Well done all involved.

Our first visit, four of us, and students first day, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and tables well laid, the students a bit unsure at first but as the meal progressed they grew in confidence. The food was excellent, had beef in black bean sauce with stir fried vegetables and rice, which was delicious. All the food chosen was well received, also like that there was English wine on the menu, which we enjoyed. If you like good food at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. We will return.

My husband and I visited for Thursday dinner. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately and handed the drinks menu. We chose a different cocktail each, an absolute bargain at £5 each. They were lovely too, very well presented. We were handed the food menu and chose our first two courses. Chilled cucumber soup for me and chicken and bacon salad for him. My soup was really tasty, well seasoned and with a swirl of cream. The main course was steak and chips for my husband, with freshly prepared onion rings and homemade steak sauce. I had the stuffed peppers and buttered rice. As a vegetarian I wasn't impressed by this choice, which was really boring and uninspired. It was well cooked so nothing to do with the chefs, more an issue for the person deciding on a veggie option. Also, it wasn't a balanced meal as no protein to speak of (three tiny chunks of cheese only). Our desserts were exceptional, pannacotta for him and mille feuille for me. Both presented beautifully and tasting lovely. I loved the bunch of plump redcurrants decorating the plate, really tasty. A coffee to finish and we left the restaurant keen to return another time.

Went with a friend and was very impressed with the service and food. Went with a groupon voucher which was a bargain for 2 people. Only thing I’d say is more seasoning on the battered plaice, was a tad under seasoned. Love the noodles and chicken in the omelette.

Much more supervision of the kitchen and front of house staff is needed, as they are still learning and very much left to it and without guidance they won't learn. To improve this all guests should be asked for feed back or be given a comment sheet to hand in at the end. If they want a top job when they leave attention to detail is vital. Here is what we observed on the night and constructive criticism should help the students to improve as the term goes on. No napkins on the table when we arrived so we asked for some. The Prosecco was just left unopened on the table and no ice bucket provided, so we asked for it to be opened, after they went to look for some fizz glasses. The menu said pulled pork but it arrived looking very much like pork belly, the chef must be made aware of what is on the menu and stick to it. I hope this helps and things improve on my next visit.

My wife and I spent a delightful evening this week at the Atrium. It was a Groupon gift and we were looking forward to it. Have to admit some slight trepidation on knowing that it was a college trading restaurant but our fears were instantly allayed on being greeted by the friendly and helpful hostess. Our waitress was a delightful young lady who’s name I am ashamed to admit I have forgotten. She was attentive and ready to answer questions about the menu which she did with great knowledge. The food was very good and I have to say, quite unusual, my starter being kidneys, a dish seldom seen on menus these days but was delicious. Obviously there are a few ‘rough edges’ to be smoothed with the students, but they seem keen and interested to learn. Drinks were good value with a large glass of Malbec at £4. All in all, a success and we wish good things for these young students.

We were greeted at the door by Holly our waitress for the evening and shown to our table. Holly gave us the menu and explained that after our starter and main we could then taste one or as many puds as we wished. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. There was a nice relaxed feel and we were made to feel welcome. The only negative was that the background music was a little loud. A big thank you to Holly and Team at the Atrium, can't wait to come back!

We have been there before. Each time is different food. This time was Italian. Lovely food, good presentation. All food and drinks are prepared by trainees /students so they do get things wrong. Usually it's it major. ( forgetting to bring spoon for soup, or serving from wrong side..) but food is always of the high quality. At least what we always had. Helpful and willing to help.

We went on a Thursday night and had a good meal. The key to enjoying this venue is remembering that that all the staff are students and are learning. Having said that, although those doing front of house were a bit disorganised (due to nerves as it was their first time) they were polite and friendly and tried hard to please, the food was lovely. it was well cooked and well presented. Local people should definitely support this venture, you will get great food and help some students achieve their goals. give it a try.

I had lunch here with a friend. Although there was a fair choice of starters and mains, we both went for the same: prawn tempura to start with, and then Duck in a cherry and brandy sauce with parmentier potatoes and green beans. Both were excellent, certainly up to the standards of many mid range restaurants I've eaten at. The price for both of us including 4 bottles of sparkling water was £24, which I thought excellent value for money. The service was very slightly eccentric, but friendly, and considering that our waiting staff were on a Level 1 hospitality course, it is churlish of me to even mention it, really. My only other slight criticisms is that he tables are a bit high for the chairs (or vice versa) which wasn't too much of an issue for us 6 footers, but I could see 2 ladies of a certain age who were struggling a bit.

It is several years since we last visited this college restaurant and were pleased to see that the standard has not slipped.We were served by a couple of first year students who will certainly go far in our opinion although a little nervous to start with which is quite understandable at this stage but warmed up as we chatted to them.The meal was of a really high standard and the presentation excellent.Of course the value was incredible which is a big bonus.Their tutor came over to speak to us after the meal and ask for our comments which we thought was really good.The venue is very light and airy and a good atmosphere and it appears that there is a lot going on with themed evenings etc so we asked to be put on their web site for future visits.

Went for Christmas lunch yesterday, how lovely. Waitress's all good and helpful. Food was brilliant, beautifully presented, tasted great. For saying they are all students they did a really good job.

The student chefs have definitely mastered the art of Indian Cuisine and should be commended for their 'take' on a flavoursome curry and it's complimentary side dishes. Beautifully cooked and delivered and (as always) excellent value for money. The students and their tutors should be very proud.

Good food at a good price. Don't go here if you are expecting a top professional service. They are students who are still learning with some at different levels to others. I had the Melon Orange Cranberry Grape and Mint salad for starters which was very refreshing and well presented. I then had the Ratatouille Stack for the main, very nice. For pudding I had the Souffle which went down very well. The coffee is sourced from a local supplier (Lulu in Ware) which I have frequented separately which makes a change from all the main protagonists.

The Atrium is an unusual restaurant, staffed by students of Hertford Regional College who do all the catering, serving, etc, under the direct supervision of expert instructors. Advanced students are encouraged to design a theme for evening diners, such as Caribbean, Asian, etc. The restaurant is open during college term times, for mid-day lunches and evening meals. three courses are normally served, though of course this isn't compulsory, and as with any restaurant you can have 1, 2, or 3 courses. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served as required, and sometimes cocktails are served - particularly on themed evenings. Mid-day lunches cost around £7.00, and evening meals around £13 for 3 courses. The restaurant is quite pleasant and spacious, and there is normally adequate free car-parking in the adjacent college car-park. On the whole it's an interesting and enjoyable experience, being served by young, enthusiastic students of catering, and hopefully helpful to them achieving future employment. My wife and I have dined there many times, including celebrating birthdays, etc.

Ate here tonight. Service too casual verging on lazy. Food very mediocre. I hate to leave this review but it has to be said. Triple cooked chips soggy and under cooked. Steak very poor quality. Will not be returning.

We went to the Atrium for the 2nd time, this time with my parents, for Caribbean night. The menu was really interesting and the flavours sounded fantastic, which is why we chose this night. They're also really clear with the gluten free options, which makes things easy for me!The service was great - the students really seem to want to do their best and are really well mannered. Often, those serving are usually chefs and they're taking it in turns so they can see what it's like to serve, too. Great idea. The food was nice. We all agreed that the starters and desserts were the best. The main's were all a bit dry and lacked the flavours the menu promised. They had a hint of them but unfortunately didn't really come through. We chatted with one of the students as he came over to clear our plates and he was appreciative of the feedback - they're there to learn, after all. One of our mains got a bit mixed up, which they rectified pretty much straight away once we'd alerted them. The starters were really tasty and flavoursome. Most of us had the jerk chicken wings.My Dad and partner ordered the Caribbean inspired cheesecake for dessert and they loved it - so did my Mum (it wasn't gluten free, so I'll take their word for it!). She changed her order at the last second and wished she hadn't! We had a mango fool with ginger sable biscuits. The fool was a little bland for my personal taste, but the gluten free biscuits were delicious. So light, too. My favourite thing out of the night. I told our waiter this and he was really chuffed as he'd made them that morning. Overall, it was a good night and we'd all go back. It really helps the students and more often than not, you can have some really tasty food. And all at fantastic value for money.

We were really excited about coming here as we really liked the idea of a student-led restaurant. However, we came on a Spanish themed night where you ultimately had options of three different types of paella. To be quite frank, none of them were particularly nice, which was quite disappointing. The rice was quite bland and the whole dish felt quite stodgy. The pudding was quite nice and the service was lovely, but the food wasn't as delicious for us as other people have experienced. I'd be sure to ask what's on the menu before going. If we are ever back in the area, we'd love to give it another go, just to be sure that we just landed on the wrong theme!

Despite the restaurant being fully booked, we were provided with a high level of service and a perfectly prepared meal. I couldn't fault anything or anyone.The students were professional but also friendly and approachable.We will definitely be visiting The Atrium in the non too distant future.

We visited the The Atrium on a Thursday evening and the food quality was what I would expect in the final of Masterchef. The service and ambience was second to none and I can't wait to go again and would most definitely recommend this to others.Fantastic food with a superb service.

We were a little dubious about eating at a college restaurant but the food and atmosphere were both amazing. The menu has a choice of options and is fantastic value at £12.95. We opted for the French onion soup, pork belly with olive mash and sticky toffee pudding. The waitress, also a student was very attentive. The evening we went there were some students performing acoustic music which was a lovely touch. Stuart, the lecturer/front of house was clearly very passionate about food and his students. I would definitely go back and wish them every success.

Yesterday my friend and I visited The Atrium restaurant at Hertford Regional College.We could not believe how good it was, the students were friendly, engaging, clean and smart. The restaurant was beautifully laid up and also very clean, bright and airy.The menu had great choices, we struggled to decide what to eat. The drinks menu is also fantastic with lots of good choices, both menus are very competitively priced.Every course was presented beautifully and everything had so much flavor.The service was quick but not rushed, I am blown away by just how good the lunch was.Don't be put off by it being in a college. It really was one of the best lunches I have had in a long time and the students and manager are lovely.I would absolutely recommend this lovely restaurant. It deserves 6 stars.

Every time we have our breakfast here we see people from outside looking how busy is it. That's why my husband said not to leave a review to make it busier and we would not have space on weekend 😄 Best cafe in town 👌👌👌

Always liked this cafe but today an accident happened where hot tea was dropped over my mum over her hand and legs and tshirt. And she had to do shopping after this but her hand was stinging and she's to polite to say anything. So she was like don't worry but when we went to pay only an apology was given no discount on food or don't worry its on the house to say sorry. Nothing. Will not be going there again.

I came to Hoddesdon with my dad & decided to have lunch while here. We saw the lunch offer and decided to try. The lunch offer had a big selection of meats, fish & vegetarian. The food was quick & tasty. The staff are very attentive & helpful. The restaurant is clean & modern. I will happily be coming back.
