Tom Tiddlers Tavern in Stevenage

Such a shame Harvester is closing, but I’m very glad the team will be back when the place reopens as Miller & Carter. And what a brilliant team it is! Everyone welcomes us warmly and goes to great lengths to ensure we have an excellent visit. The food is always great and the service is spot on - not in your face but there’s always someone there when you need them. Really looking forward to being able to go back in May.

On arrival at my booking time, I waited for several minutes at Check-In. Then a lady staff member rushed by saying: "back in a sec". She never came back! After 5 more minutes, I walked into the table area to find a member of staff; he seated me. Jody was my server, she was most helpful (but couldn't explain the strange behaviour of her colleague). Good ending but a very unsatisfactory start.

We go to the Old Forge every few weeks. It is the place we choose by default when we decide to eat out without planning. We like the place and the atmosphere and the children are not complaining of the food. The portions are generous and the prices are adequate. The only issue is that it can be crowded, on weekends there is a waiting queue for the roast meat. If you go on Saturday afternoon or Sunday it is better to make a reservation at least half a day in advance.

Lovely food and very helpful staff Gina and Chelsea helped with the best wine to drink with my food

We came to the Fisherman for a birthday celebration and our lunch was excellent. Our guest had been before but we hadn’t and Reanna went out of her way to look after us, giving us very good advice on our choices from the menu. We’ve already advised family and friends to book tables at the Fisherman and we look forward to our next visit.
