The best restaurants in Letchworth South West North Hertfordshire East of England

I had lunch here today and for a start don't think the food is as nice as it used to be just a year ago and nowhere near the same variety. The other thing is I don't know what's happened to those lovely old friendly staff who used to smile at me and have a chat with me and couldn't do enough for me and it always used to be such a lovely atmosphere and a cafe I could totally rely on whenever I was in town but now it just seems to have been taken over by sulky looking students where one of them today I thought was quite rude because all I did was ask for some jam to go with my scone but this young girl bought me a jar of marmalade instead and I said to her excuse me but could I have some jam please as this is marmalade and instead of being apologetic as you'd normally expect she instead said. "Well isn't it the same thing it's just that it's orange",but in a sarcastic way I thought not even in a fun jokey way then said staff finally went to get me some jam and then she gave it to me and gave me a really dark look as though I'd really inconvenienced her and then walked off which is not what you'd expect as a customer and very poor customer service I thought and a world away from the old staff who used to be there and who always made my experience of visiting this cafe such a joy. Such a shame it's changed hands or I'm assuming that's the case so will now think twice about going in there for my lunch again which is so sad as this used to be my favourite cafe in Letchworth and I was always in there most days and have always been a regular customer here for years. 😕

Lovely gelato and great flavours between both shops (Letchworth and Hitchin)

I saw they'd had a change of owner, so dropped in for lunch. The food was very good - a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich lives or dies on the quality and quantity of the ingredients, and this didn't disappoint. The flat whites were excellent, and the service was efficient, warm and welcoming. Prices were reasonable too. Recommended!

Wow the food was delicious, best nut roast I have ever had. My friend had the veggie burger and sweet potato fries, tried some, we both agree best veggie burger we have ever tasted and she isn’t a vegan! Kept me full all afternoon and night! We will def be back!

Fantastic quality food and service. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing. I had the half rack of ribs and the meat was so soft it fell off the bone. They were so delicious I wish I’d ordered the full rack! My husband ordered a burger which he thoroughly enjoyed too. My only minor criticism is that his burger didn’t come with fries and this wasn’t made clear when he ordered. For dessert I had the apple and blackberry crumble which again was delicious. As we visited on Valentine’s Day there was some live entertainment too which we thoroughly enjoyed. The singer wasn’t too loud and the choice of songs was spot on. Will definitely come back again.

Food is very good and staff is friendly and attentive. We had calamari, shrimp, jalapeño poppers, and Hungarian goulash.

Amazing family meal to celebrate mum's 75th birthday!!! Cannot recommend highly enough. Food was brilliant, very warm welcome, great and attentive staff 5 hearts not 5 stars! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

as a regular visitor I find the hotel excellent

The food is really nice with a wide variety of foods to choose from The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is very clean.

Very friendly staffs and good service. I have had pleasant stay.

After reading all the brilliant reviews decided to give them a go for breakfast. The picture in the window of scrambled eggs on sourdough toast looked delicious so opted for that. That’s where the similarities ended unfortunately. The toast was not toasted at all, rock hard crusts but basically bread. Eggs were dry and lukewarm at best, not creamy looking as per photo. Piled high with spinach on top, perhaps to hide the fact that there was not a lot of scrambled egg, 1 tiny cherry tomato cut in half. All this for £7.95. It’s not as if they were busy as we were the only ones there at 9.15 in the morning. No one bothered to clear our plates, had they I would’ve given the feedback as to why it wasn’t eaten. I left written feedback on a paper napkin. It’s a shame as the salads on display looked delicious and we were considering making a lunch time return. However if that’s the quality of the breakfast I don’t even want to waste my money trying the lunch. Vote with my feet and sadly will not return.

Best pasta & pizza ! Service is brilliant 👏
