The best restaurants in Clarence St Albans East of England

Visit this shop on a weekly basis with the family for take away - the staff are always so polite and friendly! The food is good value for money and plentiful! Nice to see them remaining open during lockdown whilst following the social distancing!

Bland, bland and more bland! Ordered a takeaway after reading the positive reviews. All I can say is don’t believe everything you read on Tripadvisor. Pad Thai was really disappointing. Green Curry was so bland, had better from a packet. Overall very disappointed.

Rules for coffee shop customers in 2024 are disappointing. I'm all for promoting conversation, but if we're going to ban small businesses using laptops (who are mostly considerate about spending money, rather than table hogging) are we also going to ban phones and people with their head in books? It wasn't dealt with in a friendly way, and you'd think a small business with plenty of spare tables (ie could benefit from more more business) wouldn't feel the need to be grumpy about having custom. Let's treat each other as adults. The coffee is OK, but Brad & Dill's, Silver Palette and others do friendly service, and support local business owners who work (and who give up their seats if busy). For people who live alone, coffee shop working for an hour or so can be a mental health lifeline. Laptops rules are like old-fashioned dress codes. When you travel to Scandinavia, Baltic states, Spain, Portugal, Asia, you never seem to come across this. But hey, it's your place, you decide. As with pubs, there are plenty of other options.

A diferencia de Itsu, Pret a manger, proporcionan bento caliente, así que es bastante agradable para disfrutar incluso en invierno. El precio es razonable y tiene un algunos asientos para comer. Pero, espero que segura más escaños como esta tienda siempre está lleno!

They decided to replace an item I had paid for, with something I didn't want. No regard for allergy requirements. It is not ok for someone to decide what I want or spend my money

I’ve been here many time and recommend it regularly. Especially outside in the summer. We like it so much we booked a disabled accessible table for my disabled parents to visit and watch the Six Nations with us today. We arrived 5 mins ago to be shown a table that had no view of any screen to watch the rugby. We immediately advised that the booking was a specifically advertised Six Nations table. Which we booked for our disabled parents and we’d called to confirm could be used for their specific disabilities. They advised us to just stand and watch the game. I let them know that wouldn’t be possible (due to disabilities) and could they move us to another table. They stated “nobody else has a problem. The other tables are all booked”. We again showed our Six Nations disabled booking. Asked nicely again if there was anything they could do to help. They refused. We said we’d have to find somewhere else and politely said goodbye. They shouted after us that “nobody else complains” I’m rarely shocked. But I feel so so sorry for disabled people having to deal with this so often. The Harpenden Arms welcomed us with open arms and provides an accessible seat with a view. Not sure I’ll ever return to The Crown. I never complain but I’m currently so disgusted, I might have to report these staff to management. I can’t believe anyone would be so obviously discriminatory with no sight of shame!

My favorite Chinese in St Albans. Dont understand the negative reviews.

Came for bottomless brunch and our server, Beth, was so attentive! Never an empty glass! We had the best time thank you 🥂

No beans as on order and soft drink as on order aswell

We had a fairly extensive delivery. It was late and the driver did not expect to be paid in cash as we had been instructed to do. Contrary to a promise (on the 'phone) it included no complementary desserts. Worst, and potentially dangerous, a chicken dish contained uncooked chicken. The piece was raw, red, and could not be cut through with a dining knife. We e-mailed Nonno, with a photograph of the uncooked chicken , as a courtesy to them, and expected a most urgent response to a serious complaint about a dish that could have resulted in severe food poisoning. We received no response.

They lie about how long the delivery will be labelling it as ‘ASAP’ and then when you call he lies by saying the delivery man is at your door when it’s not the case. Very weird behaviour.

I waited a long time to place my order, but the server was polite. When the food came (there were 3 of us) they left only 2 pairs of knives & forks. The chips were sparse & the salad on my burger was hardly noticeable. The chicken for my burger was tasteless & so I had to make up my own Mary-Rose sauce to make it more appetising. It's a shame that the food is so disappointing, because the building itself is magnificent.

The pizzas are very nice but the service is poor. Walked in to order, there was a guy at the front he did say anything to me, he just looked at me till I left. This was in Hatfield that’s not how you treat a customer!!!! Very disappointed ☹️
