The best restaurants in North Hertfordshire East of England

Having been to different pubs in different places for many years, this might be my favourite pub ever. Absolutely packed at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone smiling. Great staff and great food. I couldn't be happier.

Impeccable food and service, as always. Lunch menu is about £13.50 for the all you can eat buffet. Food was hot and all options were promptly topped up. Friendly staff always great with a smile.

Awful place got there and no welcome. Was over run with kids just racing around and screaming. Parents just seating there. Place was dirty. Carvery needed better roast potatoes. And 2 other members of the party had to wait over an hour for thier meal. While kids screams run around crashing Into us. Nothing was said or done about it. Waited ages to be served.

We visited early Saturday evening, such a wonderful experience. Great food, served in a timely manner and fantastic service from Toni who made us feel very welcome. The addition of a small soft play area was a hit with our children too.

Fantastic service as always from Emma and lovely food. Highly recommend the fishcakes and the chicken platter shater.

Groundwork’s Breakfast option and it’s 1 slice of toast, 1 egg, 1 tomato, measly rashes of bacon, 1 mushroom and 1 sausage is £14 😂. Costs about £1.40 to make and they’re have the absolute cheek to charge £14. Honestly the place is an absolute rip off. Staff are rude and openly talk about you in front of your face. So many other decent eatery’s in Hitchin. Go there!

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!

We had amazing staff for our cocktail making masterclass, really friendly and happy to get involved in the laughs with the group

Decent. Lovely staff and a nice pub to be in. Prices good

take out was excellent place was busy inside and thats a good sign food was really nice will go there a sit down I'm a veggie and there was loads to choose from, every dish was ace, sticky rice was really good and the tofu was nice and crispy and the heat level was spot on.

The best local pub. Fantastic hosts... so welcoming, even for someone who doesn't go there that often. Beautiful old pub with nice garden. Highly recommended for a beer or two.

Self service was told to use one of the 3 machines at the end went down and they was closed. The lady then asked what I was doing I said they are closed .she said they wasn't walked back down with me and then told me it's tuff I can't do anything about that. Very rude service.

Great selection of products. Wide range of clothing. Nicely laid out store.

Very nice pub with great live music and awesome atmosphere. We’ve had a great time and we’ll definitely come back

We had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The food took ages to be served despite it not being busy, the food was lukewarm at best, they forgot half our order, and lied throughout about why the food was taking so long. We came here for Sunday Roast with four of us and a 20-month old child. The restaurant was mostly empty, however, we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food, after insisting given the little one was getting hungry. They first said they had mixed up their tables and gave our order to another table. When they finally brought the food out, it was lukewarm at best, with poor portions, and 2 out of 5 roasts were missing. They initially said these were coming soon and were being cooked “right now”. They said this would take 10 minutes. 20 minutes later, the waiter then told us that they had actually forgot to order the other 2 roasts. We ended up leaving without getting the other 2 roasts as we were waiting ages. They did give us a bottle of prosecco and 20% off our food, but the dishonesty and atrocious service was a disaster. This ruined our lunch and we will never coming here again.
