The best restaurants in Hitchin Oughton North Hertfordshire East of England

Lovely place with great service.

Over many years I have been eating and drinking at this pub with friends. Many times we have had to wait up to 45 minutes for our food. Admittedly food has been acceptable. Recently, I visited with my voucher for a complimentary bottle of wine for a special occasion. There was a problem trying to send the email I received through to the pub on my arrival, so that they could validate my voucher. A young waiter took my phone from me to try and send the email through himself. He informed me that he was successful, so I received my bottle of wine. My husband also had a drink which was added to our bill. We settled up when we left, after having waited fifteen minutes for someone to take our order followed by a thirty five minute wait for our food. To my dismay, about a week later, I received a text message from someone known as Paul, informing me that the bottle of wine and my husband’s drink were not paid for, please could I phone to settle the bill!!! I tried to phone without any joy, so very politely, replied to Paul’s text explaining about the voucher and the waiter who I believed was successful in forwarding my email to the pub. I also asked him when he would be available for me to speak with him. Unfortunately, to this day, my response has been read but completely ignored, not even an apology! After all the years of my custom I will not be returning, it completely spoiled what was a very special occasion for me.

Gem of a place! I had a hankering for noodles after a morning shopping and a local cafe recommended Pho. The waiter couldn’t have been more helpful, explaining my options. My soup arrived incredibly quickly and was full of fresh ingredients, including extra vegetables as I’d requested. I was impressed he checked I was ok with a beef broth since I ordered tofu. Great view over the market square. Very happy!

Ubicado en una tienda de bicicletas en este lugar debería ser más popular que sirve un buen café. Puedes energizarnos aquí como parte de un viaje en curso de ciclo o simplemente relajarse y ver algunos de los videos de ciclismo. Podría hacer con una mayor variedad de tartas y bocadillos para quienes no ciclismo.

Had 2 Cods Roe with Chips & a Pot of there home maid Chilli sauce All totally fresh & extremely tasty 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Classic English unspoilt pub serving real ales. Lots of character, both the pub and staff! Good food. This pub is ideal for walking groups, you can do circular walks - south through Whitwell village or North through Hitchwood.

Ordered at 21:45 and order was accepted by the restaurant via the Foodhub app straight away. I’m quite patient with delivery up to a point but this was incredible. I waited till 23:15 untill I tried to enquire about my food. The status was then updated to order is now on its way with a name of the driver ‘Chris’ and his mobile number. I waited a bit longer, after a while I tried calling the driver and no answer on 3 tries, also no answer from the restaurant. A bit disgruntled I still sat and waited (like an idiot) i was still sitting waiting past midnight even though the restaurant has closed at 11. The food never showed up. I’ve never witnessed such bad service. Absolutely Awful. I have used Akash about 9/10 times before and was always happy. I will never order from this place again. I obviously got a full refund from Foodhub.

Ehhhh OK vomit inducing,stodgey and gristle,now if this your idea of dinner then go for it, mine went into bin AGAIN yes again, I decided to give them one last go, and disgusting slop and think place needs proper chef who understands how to actually cook a beef curry. No more chances

Visited for coffee with our grandchildren. Ordered two latte coffees after twenty minutes told coffee machine not working given two instant coffees no refund. Place filthy litter on floor table dirty. Service awful

Turned up for lunch at 1:30pm...only to be told they're not taking food orders for another 20 minutes or so! Won't be lunchtime then. Poor.
