The best restaurants in East of England

I stayed here for two nights in late September. Quirky, vibrant and beautifully appointed rooms (mine overlooked the river), the Albero is also 'equipped' with SENSATIONAL customer service. I am an old boomer and thus I get a tad forgetful; especially after some ale. I left my trousers in the wardrobe in my room. I spoke to a charming lady who said she would nip upstairs and see if they were still there. They were and she would would post them back to me. I offered to pay the postage but she politely declined my offer. This is exceptional customer service and I am pleased to say they arrived today. Thank you - most genuinely. They even came with a free burger voucher - result...as you Gen Z would say...

As always .... great food, great beer, great landlord and staff and all in all just a fantastic pub

Lee and the team are always on hand to provide you with great service. The food is always delicious and you’re always made to feel welcome…even our dogs like visiting! Food/drink prices are reasonable, the themed nights are always fun and there’s a great community spirit about the pub. We love it there!

best cafe in hertfordshire 👍👍👍👍

Was a bit worried having seen a few other reviews but it was unnecessary as we had an excellent Sunday Lunch . The staff were very helpful especially Amelia and Maureen, her first shift. All the others were equally good, badges would have helped to be able to mention them. Portion sizes were excellent in all 3 courses and the food was hot, when necessary. Prices are competitive and definitely worth it. Sorry forgot to do a tip, as took service off the bill to give cash and then I didn't realise no one had left anything... Will double up next time.

We stopped with the intention of having a quick lunch to break up a wet journey to Norfolk but ended up staying for dessert and coffee because we enjoyed our meal so much. Great food, lovely staff - we will be stopping here again in the future!

Manageress is full control of her staff and everything around her. She organised some great nosh. All foods are full of vibrant flavours mouth watering indulgence. This cafe deserves a Sheriffs badge in my option mmmmmmmmmm

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.

Absolutely wonderful cafe...food was totally amazing..staff so friendly...the breakfast was out of this world

Idk when I went but it was nice food but it took ages the staff were nice 😊 the food is almost like bakery food it seems made with care

Best burger I've had in years, good service and atmosphere

Visited for evening dinner with a friend food was excellent as were the staff nothing was too much trouble for them,enjoyed it so much have booked twice again with friends for a meal. It was very busy but food and drink arrived very quickly.

Visited valentines times day and it was the best service food and atmosphere is second to none and I cant wait to return sad to see it is up for sale and hoping when it sells they can continue this

Today was my first visit to Lussmans. I was dining with my 88 year old bestie for her birthday and had advised the restaurant in advance that she has some sight and mobility issues (and also that she'd love a birthday fuss!). They could not have been kinder and friendlier; she was genuinely touched. The food was also delicious and good value for money. Prices are what they are these days, and I think I'm often a bit disappointed with how good things actually taste vs what they cost, but both my friend and I really enjoyed each of our 3 courses (one on the set menu, one a la carte) and didn't begrudge the bill at all. I look forward to returning with other friends and family. Thank you.

We visited on a lovely Saturday evening. They had an offer between 6-7pm two courses £14.95, loads of choice on the menu and you can add more expensive offer with a few £’s extra. Courteous staff, clean and pleasant restaurant. Will be back.
