The best restaurants in Ermine North Hertfordshire East of England

We visited the Fox & Hounds for a birthday lunch. The interior is modern and cosy, the welcome, warm and friendly. The menu is a lovely combination of popular favourites and also more exciting dishes presented with great style. The Thai scotch egg was delicious, as was the Cromer crab on toast. The main courses did not disappoint either, the generous and beautifully cooked calves liver was excellent, as was my wife's hake. Well done to the whole team, an excellent meal from start to finish.

We went for lunch on my partner's birthday and from the welcome we received when we walked in, to the friendly goodbye when we left, everything was fantastic. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and excellent value for money. My new favourite pub.

Nice pub great people atmosphere friendly

What an excellent place. The food was great. The service was great. My room was great. A really friendly and genuinly nice experiance. I really enjoyed my stay and could have very happily stayed longer. I had the best steak and ale pie after more than a month of traveling the UK. I will absolutely stay here again given the chance. The only thing I might have missed had I stayed longer, is the ability to cast from my phone to the TV to watch one of my streaming services.

We were just out for a drive and thought we would stop here for a sandwich or something. Turns out they have a full lunch menu which looked good. I went with Hake in a pepper and tomato sauce, my wife had a steak with blue cheese on a flatbread. I’m a big fish lover but wasn’t expecting too much from a little place in Royston ! How wrong I was, the Hake was cooked to perfection and the sauce absolutely delicious with some new potatoes this was a really nice and unexpected lunch. My wife’s steak was also brilliant apparently. This was a very hot day and we sat at an outside table with shade with a lovely view over the Heath. A hidden little gem that is well worth a visit.

Very glad to have found this pub after trying 3 others, which were fully booked. What a find! Tremendous food, superbly prepared and cooked to perfection. Very friendly atmosphere. We'll be back!

The Guinness is the blocks just the best i have tasted for years 👌💯

Fantastic food, lovely restaurant. We have eaten here many times and will be back again 🥰

Would be amazing if McDonald's UK got with the times and offered a gluten-free option/alternative, like it does all over Europe?!

My partner and I were each fined £50 for staying 13 minutes too long in the carpark! (In this rural location!) We complained that they don't give you long enough to enjoy your meal and received a cop out answer about needing enough parking for all customers. McDonald's have lost two life long customers. We won't ever be eating at a McDonald's again. Utterly disgusted with them.
