The best restaurants in North Hertfordshire East of England

This has been our local for 10 years. We’ve seen a few changes during that time and have always supported it. Unfortunately it seems to have turned into a sports bar. I can understand this for the Euros and Olympics. However, last night there were 3 large TVs blaring with Sky Sports. The locals don’t want this. We’ll be finding a new local that cares about what their local customers want.

What a sumptuous dish! Both Tandoori and curry chefs deserve MICHELIN STARS indeed! Moreover, Management as well as customer service provided a magnificent one! I will highly recommend this Take Away and visit time and again with an amicable smile on my face! Cheers Curry House! Wishing you all the very best in future endeavours..

Nice place.. friendly staff great service.. However, The prices differs really much. I specifically confirmed that yes that was the same order and the price differ 0.45 pound.. that was not the only one issue I came across. It was 16:30 when I asked the staff to sit outside and they said they cleaned and folded the desks. That’s fair but it’s sunny day and 2 hours before the closing time and that’s the only two table we can sit and enjoy the sunny day outside. I was informed not to sit there cuz they cleaned. I did not enjoy my time really had to leave this place early before even finishing my drink.

Very ambient atmosphere. Friendly and polite staff.

Sadly very disappointed - went for my husbands birthday 🎂 Sunday at 1pm - Very poor selection of dishes (Desserts even worse) - only warm too - maybe let us sit down first before asking for drinks ☹️ NO way worth £13.90 each - definitely not return!!

This place has really gone downhill since I last visited, probably pre-lockdown. It was always a little pricey but today I paid £11 for a very small plate of uninspiring looking, lukewarm, almost tasteless cheesy bubble and squeak that seemed to have come straight from the freezer to the microwave, topped with an egg and two chipolata-sized sausages that also seemed to have been microwaved as they were rubbery and tough. My grandson does not like eggs, so I asked if he could have an extra sausage instead, but was told that it was not possible unless I paid an extra £3, so he had the meal without an egg, but I still had to pay the full price. The drinks were very pricey too. This place used to have a really interesting deli and food/drink shop, which was a real part of its charm, but this has also gone. The menu is very limited In summary, very pricey and the food was extremely disappointing. I felt very dissatisfied and won't be returning.

Gorgeous croissants and cheese straws. Place is very popular. I had read other reviews that mentioned service not good but we found it very pleasant and efficient. Enjoyed our coffee, croissants and cheese straws very much. Ate there about 11am Saturday morning.

Great welcome, service and food was excellent. Really enjoyed our visit. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed talking to the new owner. If you haven't tried the Raj Douth in awhile it's worth a visit!

Had the best time celebrating a 69th wedding anniversary with family. Lovely Sunday dinner. Beef was perfect and cauliflower cheese to die for. Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and good service. We all want to go again next Sunday!

I don’t normally write negative reviews but someone needs to do something. The place is filthy with ground in dirt, dust and trays that have plastic literally peeling off, the staff of 3 behind the counter were so busy talking between themselves that the customers were all but ignored. The cutlery was dirty and the server picks them up from the end you are supposed to put in your mouth. Not going back.

I attended Hitchin Priory with 3 other members of my family for Christmas Day lunch. The whole experience from start to finish was exceptional. The staff, service and food were all excellent. The feel of the room was very relaxing and the tables nicely spaced out. The atmosphere was very convivial. If it is still the same set up next year we shall definitely be back. Our visit to Hitchin Priory made our Christmas Day. Thanks to all concerned.

We were going to a party nearby and opted to stay over at The Bull, for a Village Pub with rooms, it is very clean and comfortable with ample parking. The staff in the pub were warm and welcoming, the “on site chip shop” meant we could have a quick bite before heading to the party and they kindly ordered a cab and provided the number to contact for the cab back. Breakfast was very good and served with a smile. This is just what it says on the tin, with the addition of friendly staff.

The staff are always friendly and the service is good. The atmosphere is homely and the place is clean and welcoming. It is always a pleasure to visit.

Arrived at 14:30 to find it shut. This is not unusual as it frequently shuts early. I have never known it open at 17:00 although it may well do. Cannot rely on the cafe being open after shopping. Do not make popping in a part of your plans.

Amazing service by Erin and lek ! Nothing was to much trouble !!! They made our visit worth while! Food was amazing !
