The Hatfield Tap in Welwyn Hatfield

This christmas - if you can't cater for your regulars, don't book christmas events. We come up to the Tap regularly with the kids and had no notice that the kitchen was going to close so they could cook for a christmas party, and kept getting mixed messages about if and when the kitchen would open leaving the kids hungry. Not a Happy Christmas get together for the regulars. Not sure we'll be coming on Christmas day now.

I gave only one star because of the super unfriendly and impolite staff who has ginger beard. Very very bad attitude!

Only enjoyed because of the company I was with. Very low quality food, okay service

It’s a really lovely pub with fantastic bar members and it’s such a shame to lower my reviev but the young DJ they have on Friday is absolutely rubbish. Not only he wants to play his set of music no one vibes with to but tells you to take a walk when you walk something you knew everyone would like. In the end he’s all there to get with girls and waited for a while for a clear moment with my friend. Not the Friday we have imagined and waiting for two hours for decent song? Pretty bad for a DJ to play songs just for himself…

Really surprised at the quality of the food considering the price, really enjoyed it and would recommend it to others. Came in to watch the rugby. the owner was very friendly, and it was a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the game. If I were in the area, I would definitely visit again.

Typical locals pub friendly atmosphere and good food

Great staff and lovely Sunday roast dinner! Highly reccomend!

Cool place, great atmosphere and excellent customer service. Thank you for fixing the pot hole.

Had amazing burger that had such a rollercoaster of amazing tastes (maple bacon burger) from chef Spencer. The open mic night was incredibly entertaining would defo recommend if you haven’t been there Thank you to Emmie, Cathal and Sophie on the bar as well. Top service.

Place is alright. But nothing special. Food was not my cup of tea. We had chicken wrap, fish wraps and some chilli tacos. All in all not nice. Team was friendly. Would not visit this pub again.

Haven't been in a while and I did enjoy going back in. Looking forward to trying wing wednesday as long as they have crispy skin!

AJ and Ryan, thank you so much for making our booking memorable and being helpful, kind and considerate.

Food was not so good but the service and the atmosphere makes up for it.

Nice, clean and modern pub with food and pool. Modern and fun, if a little quiet!

It's a lovely place to watch euros, great beer.

Vit & Team are friendly, AJ's comedy on tap is brilliant, vibe has really improved over the last few years, a nice mix for locals, students and regulars. Shuffle board, pool tables and darts have been a great idea. Looking forward to seeing more of the weekend events. Update thanks also to new pub Manager James, he's a perfect fit for the Tap. Dan & Spencer in kitchen, the pizzas are great & Tom, Spencer, Sophie, Cathal and rest of the bar team!

Warm and friendly welcome from Loz and Sophie. The food was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble.

Lovely evening at the Hatfield Tap. Vit and his team are attentive and friendly. Food was delicious- desserts to die for- glad we went with Vits recommendation of the Oreo donut - big enough to share! Great, thanks!

Vit was super friendly and welcoming - great service! Good selection of drinks and great time at the open mic night - lots of fun :)

Came in for comedy last Thursday, had a great time, recommend the homemade pizzas!! Props to James who made our visit enjoyable and has moved the bar in a brilliant direction! We will be back :)

Tom and Spencer at the bar were amazing and the chef, also called Spencer, was great as well. Would recommend

I absolutely love Hatfield Tap. Great variety of entertainment every week. The staff are very friendly. Brilliant atmosphere. ☺️

Getting better and better... can recommend either for watching live sports , pint or both..... tasty food

Had a lovely time with the family and the staff. A must go to place.

Glad to have Mr Tristan to managed Hatfield Tap and taken the pub to a very better level. His customer service is unquestionable and he is a great person and he has respect for everyone.

Dark interior, various beers on tap, music was a bit loud for comfortable conversation during the afternoon. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the toilets were in good condition on the day we visited. Food was okay.

Cool, atmospheric place. Fantastic service. Delicious food

Dart boards back which is good for a laugh with mates friendly staff and really good food!

Great pub and service. Glad the dart board is back aswell

Great pub, lovely that the dart board is back, would recommend to anyone in the Hatfield area.

Hired function room Tap 2 for our daughters 21st birthday. 17th February 2024. A great room for larger style parties. (Ours approx 70) however would fit alot more. It has its own bar and separate toilets. Big dance floor! We had free reign to decorate the room as we wanted and hired our own dj and photo booth which the room has ample space to suit. All the food was ordered directly from them also which was a hot and tasty mixed buffet of freshly cooked pizza, wraps, nachos, wedges, fries and chicken strips. The pizzas and wraps were particularly amazing! Our party did spill out into the main pub but I can honestly say everyone mixed well and there was a nice atmosphere generally within the pub side. The manager Tristan was professional and accomodating to our needs whilst planning with excellent communication throughout the process. All of his team including security staff on the night were all extremely helpful and welcoming. We all had a really fun, stress free night! Would highly recommend!

We hired the hall for a photoshoot for my Mum's 80th. The hall is lovely to be in, clean and the host was very welcoming and helpful! Thank you, very much! We will be back!

Much nicer establishment since becoming the Hatfield Tap. There is an adjacent room that can be hired out for all types of events - Dagda music is a top tier choice

Nice pub, great pizza and loaded chips. We were allowed to take our dog in too.. He enjoyed one of the natural dog treats from the dog menu... We will definitely be back....

Had a lovely few drinks and meal here!Felt very welcome and comfortable as a single lady. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely pub with a very nice vibe. Family friendly.

Big, nice, friendly pub with a venue attached. Good selection of drinks. Recommended

Lovely atmosphere excellent bar staff little expensive but to be expected from a mc mullen establishment great bar games UPDATE After a excellent first visit unfortunately had a really bad experience celebrating a friends birthday last night. Everything was going great until my friend was manhandled out of the premises for no apparent reason by the over zealous security staff much to the disappointment of bystanders who could see no reason why he was asked to leave unfortunately some people holding a sia badge think they are judge and jury to make matters worse my friend was repeatedly asked to throw the first punch in the car park. Not the best way to end a birthday celebration which spoilt the whole evening.for this reason I have withdrawn my 5 stars to 1 star but have given 5 stars for the pleasant bar staff. No wonder the place was half empty on a Friday night. I am in no hurry to return to the establishment

Decent pub with sports on TV, pool and shuffleboard as well as board games. I can imagine great on a night out. Food was decent but took a bit long despite there being very few people in there (was a Tuesday night). Tables out the front but not many suitable tables to eat if there are more than 4 of you.

Friendly staff. They turn the music up to 11.

Superb little pub with a good choice of food, the staff have always been amazing and its a great place to chill on a warm day, Has good outside seating albeit not massive amounts.

Buen sitio para pasar la tarde, y ver el fútbol

Went for comedy night - funny!!

Ate there for the 1st time since referb. Was not the greatest as food was cold after waiting 45mins to come out and not really food busy. But I will say the way they delt with our complaint was fantastic so hats off to the way they delt with the situation

Somewhat limited food options especially for vegetarians but what they did serve was pretty decent tucker,

Fantastic Pub! Great environment!! Friendly staff!! Really good gluten free options 👍

cute bartender fr fr no cap bussin

One of the best pub down there, but for sure the quality isn't that high.

A lovely pub to be in, when in Hatfield.

Cod and chips, cod really oily, mushy peas dry as a desert. Hallomi fries very dry. Loose dog begging while we eating. Staff acknowledged sorry don't cut it.

Cod and chips really oily, mushy peas dry as a desert. Dog off lead begging at table while eating dinner. Staff acknowledged sorry don't cut it.

Worlds apart from what it used to be as the harrier! Friendly staff, tasty food - homemade burgers are awesome and pizzas! Chilled vibe it general... shuffle board, pool and big screens is all that one needs!

Noisy pub with some beers and food. Mcmullens hasn't done a lot to it when they refurbished it compared to many of the others they own, missed opportunity as it is the only pub serving a large corner of the town. Not a very imaginative refurb. A bit more stuff to break up the interior and some soft furnishings and things could stop it being so noisy as one loud group on another side of the single large room can make it so you can barely hear a conversation while sat at a table having a drink or meal. Food is OK but found a lot of it very salty. Fish and chips took best part of an hour a few weeks ago even though there were barely any other people eating in there. But it was nice when it came out eventually. Another time a burger came out with half of it missing and had to send it back to have the other patty added. Wasn't very nice for the price, it is not cheap food here. A lot of the time it is relatively empty even though the catchment area for the pub is huge, there are smaller pubs with much more competition in other parts of town which get a lot more custom so the potential is huge, especially when the area is fully redeveloped with all the new flats on the doorstep. There is a lot more potential for this place but mcmullens needs to invest in it like they do some of their other pubs, this is a poor relation compared to the interiors of many of their other pubs around Hertfordshire and other places they own pubs. You wouldn't think they're owned by the same company if you looked at this one and then some of their others! The staff working there are consistently nice to deal with though, bar staff and manager a credit to the company. Hope this pub reaches what it can be in the next few years so us living local don't have to venture to other parts of town for a nice evening in the pub

They fixed this place up real good, now I don't mind taking the kids down for after school lunch. Very nice staff also 👍

Good Staff... comfy seating... a bit too cold to stay... for another drink...

Reluctantly went to the Hatfield Tap today, world Cup final day!! We were so pleasantly surprised to what we were welcomed with. Lovely new clean environment with charming staff and a great selection of beers. We had a freshly made pizza which was super. Well done McMullens for giving the community a family pub again.

Warm , friendly welcome. Decent pint and a great atmosphere. Great food deals on different days. Chicken wings were awesome. Vit and Jae were so helpful.👍

The wrap was nice and a friendly atmosphere

To be honest we haven't eaten at this pub,just looks rough and seeing that it looks like houses are being built near it I hope this pub will get closed down. No where to park no where to fit this horrible pub just makes me sick walking past drunk people. They need to close it and make a bingo for old people

Very impressed since the last time I was in there very comfy feel to it pool tables which is a rarity nowadays clean drinks nice sofas nice atmosphere

nice sized event space but wasnt many people using

The staff are really friendly and helpful. I wanted dinner but they were in 'transition' and suggested I get a take away and bring it back to the pub. I did that and they have me cutlery too easy it with. I am sure that it will be a great place to be once everything is settled.

I received a warm welcome despite no being a local.

Community pubs are the live and soul of being british

Just good for drinks and music on Fridays when there's a live band. NO FOOD options!

The atmosphere was ok, nice pub. The staff were a little bit too much.. for instance taking our details and talking about the effect of covid, when were were just trying to take my dad for a few drinks on fathers day... and talk about something other than covid. It did put a little dampener on the afternoon as soon as we arrived, but we ended up enjoying the rest of our time there.

Staff is very polite and fast service.

Good food and drink.Good choice.Friendly staff.

Przyjemny typowy pub. Niestety lokalsi zaczepiają polskie dziewczyny, także lepiej iść w grupie

Never been here before but what a lovely pub for socializing

Very friendly hospitable staff, always willing to go the extra mile .Food is good also 👍👍

Hi it's a very good place to have a hall for a party and a good drink

Friendly staff. Average prices but clean beer, which counts for alot.

Held a wake here, staff were friendly and helpfull, local drinkers were very respectful.

Najlepsza klimatyczna knajpa w mieście

My local pub! Does amazing burgers!!

Not much to say as it was just a quick visit. We stopped on our way home to have some food. The staff was very friendly and the food was good.

A great local pub for the south Hatfield community. Being a McMullens pub it's not a camra Award winner for real ale but saying that the draught lagers and ales they do have are relatively kept well I'm told as I usually keep to the bottled Peroni. Atmosphere is welcoming for all and is especially good for football. There is a good eclectic mix of people who are engaging and friendly. Food is good from what I've been told.

Fantastic place great food great staff very welcoming

Nice friendly pub... They made me a coffe as i didn't like the machine one. Food looks good but haven't tried any.can get very busy with students at times.

My usual stop after work for cracking open a cold one with the boys;) hands down one of the better pubs in hatfield.

Improved amazingly, nice place for a pint.

Good food friendly staff and helpful.

A bit out of the way but a nice place to relax with a beer

Ok for a local pub in South Hatfield.

Meals a bit on expensive side but it's cooked to order nice cup of coffee and not too strong

Cannot beat this place. Friendly good conversation and great bunch behind the ramp

Nice place for a Sunday night beer

We had an amazing karaoke night with uptown club discos

The food was awful. Not warm and poor quality!!

Decent place for a beer with friends.

very big. probably fills up at night. not for me.

Really friendly manager and staff very helpful couldn't ask for more

Lovely place....very friendly staff.....good food buy one get one free , they even let you use your receipt another day if your by yourself to get the secound meal....great value

Decent place for a beer with friends or a family lunch

Excellent IPA, great value Sunday lunch.

Nice place. The staff try hard to attract more of Hatfield's students for example, poker tables, table tennis, etc. A bit pricey compared to other places in town but overall my favourite place in the town for a pint.

Nice big pub good food,good beer and good people :)

Amazing service, people there are soo nice, also the food was good

Does what it says on the tin a fab pub nice staff and food superb so whats not to like
