The North Star in Welwyn Hatfield

Went to the pub for a Sunday roast and it did not disappoint! Delicious, homemade food, on a rainy winter day it really makes you feel warm and cozy. Good quality ingredients and beautifully cooked. Dessert was very nice as well. Great service, very polite and professional! An overall great experience ☺️

My girlfriend is Portuguese and likes to experience English cuisine, what is more English than the Sunday Roast. We were warmly greeted on arrival, given a choice of seating, we ordered the Ultimate Roast, which was a choice, two of three meats (Beef, Turkey or Pork Belly), I opted for Beef & Turkey. It was served quickly, the food was delicious, the main course was followed by a Belgian Chocolate Chip Waffle & Ice Cream that was equally delicious. A nice atmosphere, nice staff, good value for money, recommended.

A friendly and well organised pub/restaurant that offers a good but quite limited and basic menu. A large car park.

Warm welcome & great Sunday roast this week. Pork & the very best crackling for me, turkey for my husband. We shared extra roasted veg, cauliflower cheese & gravy. The fruit crumble & custard was delicious, really tasty topping & just right for a damp November day.

What a fabulous friendly pub. We had a family Xmas meal recently and I will definitely be returning. Adam, the manager, was so helpful arranging this for 42 of us! A lot if work for them but nothing was too much trouble, every meal was correct and we had plenty of time. We didn't feel rushed. The staff were lovely. Thank you Adam and staff 😊

Unbelievable experience, the pub was very busy with a large Christmas party, but the staff were very attentive and the roast dinner I had was awesome, meat was pink, roasties crispy and it was hot. The portion was just right and I felt that I could fit the dessert in afterwards Will defo be back for a Sunday roast again soon

Lovely menu staff very friendly and helpful. Food so tasty. Highly recommend

Been shopping and decided to have a Sunday Roast out to save on cooking one later.Have had a Sunday roast many of times here but haven't been for a while. Always been decent portion and lovely. Sadly this time we were all very disappointed. The portion size has shrunk. It was also lukewarm. We all come away feeling like we had just had more of a snack than a main dinner. It was more of a children's size. It did taste lovely what was on the plate but just wasn't enough. Now feel like will need to cook later. Will definitely not be going back which is a shame as the staff all make you feel welcome

Lovely pub for food. Staff are friendly and work hard. The pub looks huge from the outside but is strangely small inside. Absolutely no signal if you're on Vodafone or 3 mobile. It could do with a pool table tbh

Extremely good, says it all when Xmas dinners are sold out within two weeks.

My mates and I have been going to this pub for years we are 20-23 years old and absolutely love it. The staff are so nice, they gave me a birthday card and are always so friendly. We love the food and drinks! We always feel like home when we go and will definitely keep going! Thank you North Star

We booked a table here for a family birthday celebration. On previous occasions when we had visited we have had great service and food which is why we chose to return. Unfortunately this visit was seriously below par. The starters were delivered quickly but strangely we were asked if we would like our mains brought out with our starters. The starters were average at best. Unfortunately our mains were below average. We were a party of 5 and all but 1 of them were luke warm if not cold. One of our party had a mixed grill. He asked for the steak medium rare, it came out well done. The gammon was hard, the scampi rock hard. One of our party had a burger. The burger was burnt and very dry. We were extremely disappointed. The only saving grace was the service we received from Dillan. He was very attentive and apologetic. He offered to have the mains replaced to which we declined. He took all the meals of the bill as way of an apology. 1st class service! Unfortunately this experience would put us off from a return visit.

Roast dinners were amazing, the beef came out pink and plentiful the roasties and veg were crispy and hot The Yorkshire puddings were massive and the red cabbage was to die for Would definitely recommend and I will be coming back 100%

Popped in for a bite to eat whilst passing through Welwyn, so glad I did. Food was absolutely lovely, nice little pub with very friendly staff. Will be sure to return!

Very good experience, we had the beef which came out pink and was delicious. The Yorkies were huge!!! Food is very good here would highly recommend

Had a nice drink with a good friend. The barman taught me how to pronounce leffe!

Everything tasted like its been deep fat fried in old oil Found the staff had never been trained how to deal with customers very rude and hide alot of the time pretending there buzy when there not

Ruined my birthday, food awful, under cooked or burnt, table filthy, staff couldn't give a ----,, through a cloth at us to clean our own table, took my dinner back as it was so burnt I couldn't eat it, no apology,, outside tables full stinking ashtrays, apparently under new management since Monday, well must do better, same thing happened 3 weeks ago, IV been going there for years, but NO MORE, should have noticed there was nobody else there, now I know why, disgusting

Amazing service and food, was catered for on all aspect and options for gluten free to, as sister is celiac. Staff are fantastic, both Kerry & Dom were great and made sure our meals, drinks and desserts were served at the same time. Would highly recommend for either a lunch, evening or special occasion.

Edit - 12/09/2024 Quick visit with my husband. Ordered a chicken burger and the Ultimate Mac burger. Unfortunately, the chicken burger tasted of cooking oil, beef burger was great. Quite busy on the restaurant. Music playing in the background, staff were attentive. We went to the North Star for a Mothers Day meal. We booked for 12pm and paid a £5 deposit per person. Service was brilliant, really friendly and accommodating. Always checked our table to make sure everything was OK. The cute little treat on the table for everyone was a really lovely surprise. The food was really delicious. It was a set menu, but something for everyone. 2 x prawn cocktails and 1 x creamy mushrooms. The prawn cocktail was rather small and the mushroom portion was huge. 2 had the roast beef, 1 had the ceasar salad and 1 had the burger off the kids menu. We also had 2 sides of cauli cheese and pigs in blankets. 3 of us had desserts and were soo tasty. Portion size for the main were more than enough. Cannot fault anything at all about our experience. We were not rushed, great atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I highly recommend and we will be back.

Good place for a quick dinner after work. Huge portion. Love the 4 starters combo, so many good choices.

We had a lovely evening at The North Star. The parking was easy. The bar staff were great - particularly the lady with the long, black hair. The service was a bit slow (the people on the next table arrived, ordered, ate and left before our mains came out) but the food was worth it when it came. I was in good company, so chatting was great to pass the time. The food was nice when it came out. Would go back.

Spacious venue. Long wait time for meal although not busy.

Thought we would give it a go with the kids. Very disappointed with the standard of food and taste . Mac’s salad portion was side salad sized .. rip off for the price . The starters deal was a false economy as even the least fussy teen who eats anything said one of the dishes tasted awful ! We gave it a try but wont be returning !

First time in here, absolutely beautiful pub. The landlady or barmaid was really friendly and helpful. Didn't eat but the menu looked good, will visit again.

I love the fact that you can listen to music whilst enjoying your food and drinks outside too, which is rare to find at most pubs. It creates a very nice atmosphere and the customer service is very good.

OK for getting a drink, but the North Star is still constantly inconsistent for meals, as it has been for the last 10 plus years. The last time we ate there the starter turned up with our main course, and before that time 2 of the 4 meals were uneatable. Toilets weren't great, wet and smelly floors. Raised overall last drink experience from 2 star to 3, as the beer was OK and staff friendly and helpful.

Great pub and location. Food is amazing. Very fresh, hot and delicious. Loads of different beers on tap to try. Staff are so friendly and polite.

We stopped there because of traffic jams on A1. The place was clean, tidy, our food arrived quickly and was good. Prices slightly below average.

Our party were looked after very well, food was good, staff attentive. My only complaint is like many pub restaurants the drinks are very expensive.

Even though this is a very large building, it is comfortable and cosy inside because of the way it has been separated into zones. The staff are kind and considerate with a good sense of humour. Outside, there is a huge terrace with loads of tables and seating. There is ample off-street parking beside and behind the pub. All round the perfect pub experience.

Nice evening here tonight. Friendly pub. Amy Winehouse tribute was good. Closed bang on 11, most pubs are 12 that I know of but would recommend.

Always great food and service when visiting here also dog friendly

Well not happy as the table was already laid and I have to say when I sat down and looked my fork was full of the previous meal ,made me feel sick ,and thinking should I really be eating in here ,just not acceptable ,as it's not a good way to show the house standard's ,what with COVID still around as well ,waitress not really bothered, it's hard ,as if I was on my own I would have not eaten their yesterday ,this is how these things spread so look at your cutlery folks.

This lovely pub made booking their event room really easy, they were very helpful. We had a funeral there , ordered food, for 2pm It was all prepared, their sausage rolls and caramel profiteroles was excellent , we would defiantly go for lunch there and would recommend the outdoor seating area.

I liked that there was plenty of parking and it was not too packed on the Saturday night. The haloumi fries were very good to start and the full mixed grill was really very good – and I am something of a mixed grill connoisseur. We had a really nice evening.

We all enjoyed our food (starters ,mains and desserts) all excellent, the banoffee cheesecake was amazing! Great service from Lisa & the team and loved the live Freddie Mercury tribute show. Thank you Lisa

My family and I wish to leave a 5 star review for facility and staff at The North Star in Welwyn 👌‼️🍺 The friendly, efficient Above and beyond the call of duty service we received on 14 April 2024 reflects the professionalism and pride in work we expect from a quality Sunday Roast venue We’ll be back ‼️👌

Had a really lovely meal there yesterday (Easter Sunday) didn’t have a booking turned up - all 10 of us! The team couldn’t have done enough for us. The “pressed lamb” was amazing, I don’t normally order lamb when I dine out as I’m quite fussy about how it’s cooked but as it was Easter Sunday I wanted to stick with tradition and was not disappointed! All of our party enjoyed the meals & deserts, we were even given takeaway boxes for our left overs!! Will definitely be going back soon!

Good pub grub, at reasonable prices.

Wednesday 20/3/24 Very enjoyable visit , we were made to feel very comfortable by amazing staff and our lunch was plentiful, and very yummy thankyou

The family visited for mother's day. Was greeted at the door and seated immediately. We were attended by a lovely lady called Katrina, service was swift, food was delicious, well cooked, well presented. A credit to the management team for making such a pleasant visit and well organized staff on such a busy day. In fact we were so impressed have since been there for lunch as well, would highly recommend and we'll definitely be visiting again

Food was lovely, hot and a good sized portion, definitely going back, staff went above and beyond customer service wise and friendly atmosphere

Had a loverly meal on Mother’s Day to celebrate my mums birthday. The food was amazing and the whole family loved it. The staff were nice and friendly and had made little sweet bags which were adorable! A realy nice meal 😁

Just returned from a really lovely Mother’s Day dinner. We were a party of 8. The food was absolutely lovely. It catered for all our various taste's, especially as half the party were vegetarian. The service was very good indeed and we felt very well cared for and looked after.

We had a lovely Mother’s Day meal, the food was delicious and the pub has a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff, thank you!

Nice pub with a good selection of Ales.

Great pub grub. I had a lovely prawn and avocado salad. Good value.

Pleasant clean environment, pub shuts early so not particularly adult friendly. Staff friendly and efficient.

Food not to good poor Mens Toilet's could do with a good clean down and freshen up

Had a wake here. Was nice and clean and staff were nice only complaint was wake was for 40 people 37 turned up and 9 people didn't have anywhere to sit in back room so had to sit apart from the rest. Also tea and coffee overpriced as small tiny cups and coffee was instant not worthy of price. There was plenty of food though. Good spread choices.

Lovely evening great food very accommodating

Excellent service from Dylan and team, with a very warm welcome. Good food and value for money Clean toilets. We are local and we will be back

Booked a meal here for Friday evening There were 14 of us and all the food delivered was lovely . Nothing was cold we were all served and eating together which was nice as sometimes with a large group people are often waiting whilst others are eating. Staff polite and friendly Great evening and will definitely be back

Great food, service and atmosphere. Will be visiting again and would recommend to family and friends.

Lovely friendly staff here, and they have oat milk as an alternative which is great :) Came for coffee and it's become a regular every week. Food menu looks nice at reasonable prices too. Gf options

Christmas Day … First time the family has ever been out on Christmas Day. From the initial booking process to the experience was fabulous. The food was unbelievably amazing! Service from Lisa and the team was top notch. Good hospitality from all the team. The space in between each course was perfect. All round the perfect Christmas lunch with the perfect atmosphere! See you next year !!

Great food and friendly service

Good choice of lunch time meals, excellent beer and cheerful efficient service. Place could have been a little warmer.

First time here for a client meeting. Nice pub. Haven't tried the food yet but will do next time.

Really lovely Sunday roast. Was really nice that they had a separate gluten free menu too. Staff were very friendly and happy

100% happy with the food and staff

Good value for money. Food ok but nothing special. Very limited specials menu. Reasonably priced drinks. Very polite and helpful waitress.

Myself and my partner recently enjoyed a delightful meal at the North Star, savouring their fish and chips. The overall experience was very enjoyable, and the staff’s warmth added a special touch to the evening. The crispy batter of the fish paired perfectly with the tender flakiness inside, making it a satisfying dish. The lovely staff further enhanced the experience, providing attentive and friendly service throughout. I would recommend the North Star for a pleasant dining experience with classic fish and chips!

Fabulous staff, could not do enough for us. So patient with the grandchildren.

Friendly staff from the get go, very attentive. Great food and atmosphere.

Went to the North star for my birthday with family, had a lovely meal and enjoyed their pornstar martini (3 of them)😃🍸, the staff were very polite and friendly and at the end of our meal they came out with a cake and sang happy birthday to me it was absolutely lovely, it really is a welcoming pub xxx

1 hour and 30 minutes and our food never arrived. Was told after we sat that they had absolutely no roasts at 4pm on a Sunday! Used to absolutely love this place what a shame to see it fall apart.

Had a reservation today arrived on time and had to wait 10 mins to be seated. Once seated we had to ask for them to clean the tables and provide cutlery. Customer service was over all really good and the food was tasty. It’s got a typical pub vibe. They do have a good selection of drinks and allow dogs also.

We always have an enjoyable meal here.

Excellent food, friendly staff.

Traditional pub, friendly and helpful service.

Very nice pub. Good food, quick service, fare prices. Would definitely revisit and recommend. 5* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice pub with friendly service.

Unfortunately there was not enough staff to cover the amount of customers, therefore queueing 10 to 15 minutes to get a drink, food also 35 minutes late, the staff that were there did very well. Gents toilet was flooded all night, nobody attempted to clean it, but,we made the best of it entertained by the Soul Man who was brilliant as always.

Lovely tasty food and well presented. Great atmosphere.

Great waitress - new to the job but very diligent, pleasant and attentive. x

Can't comment too much on food as I was only drinking but comments from other guests were extremely favourable. What I can say is, Lisa, Cat and the team are amazing, and can't do enough to make your visit an enjoyable one. Great outdoor seating area and spacious clean interior with a fantastic range of drinks. Well worth giving them a try, I am sure you won't be disappointed Edit..... Tried the food now and it doesn't disappoint

Really lovely pub with a great choice of food. It's clean and tidy, well presented and the staff are fantastic. We will be back

Great service, food was good. But unfortunately my chicken could have been hotter, since then I’ve been feeling sick

One of the few places I've been with top notch service and great food readonably priced. Your welcome and serving staff are great and food was excellent. Nice menu choices. Thank you for a lovely evening out!

With good service and a pleasant ambience. We enjoyed a lovely meal where a gluten free diet was well catered for. The mozzarella sticks are amazing! The birthday offer was a nice touch. Thank you.

Really great service and well priced, tasty food.

Really nice pub and u take dogs in

Great place to host friends and family

Well worth the trip to enjoy good food

Stopped in for a pint during a walkabout through the woods. Didn't eat, but the roasts smelled delightful.

Great dood . Friendly staff . Sat outside . Good food menu . Good food .

Open on a Monday for food which apparently is a rarity nowadays. Okay pub grub. I think there was about 8-10 folks in there, thus lacked a bit of atmosphere. I was with great company and the evening was great.

If I could give this no stars I would! Utterly appalled by the customer service in this pub. I used to work in food retail and as far as I was aware the customer is always right! Well apparently in this pub they are not. My friend ordered good old bangers and mash. What she did not expect with it was a good old hair. We was told that they could get her a new one or a refund I said a refund because quite frankly the fact that they thought we would eat here. Got a refund after the rude waitress had accused us of it being our hair. Safe to say I will never eat here again 🙄

Lovely food, great staff, and very reasonable priced drinks and food

Cute place but noisy with the road, as expected.

Had a really great lunch service was excellent and staff very polite Food well presented Finally a sensible bill to pay Keep up the great work see you soon

Perfect place to host an event for a party of 40, staff were helpful and friendly, the outside space was perfect, would not hesitate to use the North Star again

Had my mums 60th birthday party in the function room they have here. Was a really lovely day and Lisa and her team couldn’t be happier to help us with anything we needed. They allowed us in early so we could set up and helped too. Food and drink was great. Really recommend. Thank you guys x

Great for vegan gluten-free Sunday roast. Helpful friendly staff, dog friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Also reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Great menu choice, food was amazing! Would highly recommend, friendly staff, we sat outside as the weather was spot on, nice and peaceful

Lovely food. Nice big seating area inside and out. Great for family dining. With friendly and helpful staff

A lovely relaxing evening at the North star, always a lovely welcome, Super delicious supper, wonderful service, thank you.
