I hosted my 30th birthday party at the steamer pub in May, What can I say other than 5 stars all round. From the amazing help with the organisation from Andii from sorting a Dj to helping with decorations, no job was too big for this team. I had a large amount of friends and family down for the event and everyone was so so impressed. Whilst the bar was consistently busy, Andii & Lawrence never failed to deliver with a smile on their face and making the continuous effort to make the guests feel so welcome. The added bonus to having the meating room serving food was amazing, everyone absolutely loved it!!!!!!! I can hand on heart say I will always be contacting the pub for any future events I will be holding!!! So impressed as always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great pub with big screen TV for football, pool table and dart board. Well priced drinks, very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere with two cosy fire places for the cold days. Live music at the weekends and free food on Sundays too. Also big car park and great outside seating space. Very happy The Steamer is open again!

The landlady & staff are absolutely amazing at the steamer all so friendly and welcoming. I often attend whether this is with my work lot or a family catch up, it’s an ideal location with a pool & dart board to keep you occupied along with some amazing deals on drinks!! We often pop down on a weekend for the live music and events they have on, it’s amazing! I have to say it’s definitely my favourite pub and would highly recommend to anyone in the area to pop by an experience The Steamer! 5 star rating all round!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always a pleasure to visit the steamer. Great authentic food, excellent hospitality from a wonderful couple totally focused on delivering an enjoyable evening. McMullens please come to your senses and allow this place to evolve. It has come along so well in very challenging circumstances. Welwyn will be emptier without the thai. I for one am not interested in another boozer. We and you have the tavern and that is great. The thai adds value to the community please review your rent policy and allow these guys time to flourish. I welcome a response and explanaition from the brewery. What's the logic behind preventing this wonderful team from following their dream?

Visited the pub with a couple of local friends this Saturday, for the first time. Had been recommended, and I was not disappointed. Family run Thai restaurant, the bar keep (owner) lovely host. Service was great, place was busy. Plenty of choice on the menu for a first timer, with lots of support and advice. As for the meal, best curry I have had for years. It's as simple as that! Go try yourselves I doubt your be disappointed!

Attentive staff, good food but got disappointed about the 10% compulsory service charge. To make things worse, the owner gave the impression that he would get back to the staff that had forgotten to put the surcharge on the bill, totally unacceptable.

What a lovely friendly restaurant. The food was superb and very tasty. The food was delivery quite quickly and main meals held whilst 2 of the 6 of us has starters. The presentation of the food looked too good to eat but there was still plenty of it. The price was very reasonable and the bill included service. We didn't feel at all rushed at any time and the waiting staff were really attentive without being imposing. All in all a 5 star evening.

I visited the pub with my boyfriend and used the toilet to change my baby while I was changing my baby there where people taking drugs right in front of me not only that men talking about who was going to the toilet to do "gear" it's clear what sort of standard people run this pub fortunately I'll never step foot in that place again!!!!

Apple crumble for desert and this was also beautiful. We all had a lovely meal and dad had a free pint. finished off with tea and coffee served with macroons .A lovely touch. Thanks to Dan Tubbs and your team

This is a pub which does exactly what it says on the tin. Honest pub food (breakfast and lunches) with good value Sunday lunches too. In the evening the food is Indian and supplied by the "Delhi Hut". Being a McMullens pub there's a good selection of beer. The Steamer has recently undergone a complete refurbishment and whilst this is a vast improvement on what was there before (late 70s/early 80s decor) it hasn't lost its "local" feel. Recommended if you need a bite to eat in relaxed and comfortable surroundings, though don't expect haute cuisine. We came for the Sunday lunch with some Australian relations and they loved the Englishness of it!

Our first visit to this upmarket steak chain was at the branch which is just round the corner for us in Brookmans Park, an area that is not particularly blessed with good restaurants. It's certainly convenient and easy to locate and there is plenty of parking space though the car park was pretty full indicating a busy restaurant. And that was indeed the case when we entered. There's an upstairs too and that looked very busy along with the street level. The first impressions of the restaurant itself are quite favourable with polished dark wood everywhere and a good array of wines (mostly red of course) displayed in glass cases. We were shown to our table without delay and ordered drinks including red wine, local beer and some soft drinks. Between the three of us we ordered the Butchers' Block and though it said that it was meant for two (one if really ambitious) we found that it was great for the three of us. It comprised a variety of meat with some sides though we all felt that the best cut was the ribeye, which was cooked well to the medium-rare that we requested. The onion fritter accompanying it was very tasty and far superior to onion rings and the bone marrow was juicy too. You get two sides with this platter - we found the new potatoes good and the fries were alright but of the extra sides that we ordered, the mac 'n' cheese was a little underwhelming. We had also ordered a half plate of ribs, which were also disappointing - very dry and with very little meat on the bone. Before we had our main course we were served an excellent crispy salad bowl (with a wide choice of dressings). But the main quip was that we had to wait an hour for the main course and the salad came only 10 minutes before the main. Surely the salad could have come sooner and indeed an hour for the main was really too long. The service was decent and friendly though our waitress pushed us hard to order a dessert. They don't implement a mandatory service charge, which is rare these days, so it's up to you to tip.

Tops Pizza used to be my go-to spot for pizza in the UK, but after my recent experience at the Hatfield branch, I’m reconsidering. The pizzas lacked flavor, with barely any cheese and no real taste overall. To make matters worse, the person preparing the pizzas wasn’t wearing gloves and didn’t wash their hands beforehand, which was quite off-putting. Despite ordering two super large pizzas, we were so disappointed that we ended up leaving most of the food. This experience was a real letdown, and I’ll be looking elsewhere for pizza in the future.
