The best restaurants in Park Street St Albans East of England

I chose The Overdraught to meet a friend for lunch because of the close proximity to where I was staying, and what a great choice it turned out to be. Because of traffic chaos, my friend was a bit late arriving, so I had a coffee. It was beautifully presented in a double glass coffee mug, and had a little jug of heated milk. When it was time to order, we both chose the Beer Battered Fish with chips and tartare sauce. The batter was something to behold, so crisp and crunchy, and it was the best fish I have had for many years. The chips were cooked perfectly, and the home made tartare sauce was perfection. I noticed some of the meals other patrons had ordered, and they too looked and smelled delicious. What a great find. I shall return.

Food was great as always, the sharing platters were a great choice for us. Front of house very attentive and friendly. Made it a great experience and we all had good fun.

Nice little chippy! Chips weren't the best today, but there were plenty of them. Medium chips, a pie (a PUKKA PIE, no less!), and battered sausage were plenty to feed two, and just over a tenner.

Nicely laid out. Plenty of Christmas gifts on offer. Lovely Christmas atmosphere

The room was the same as any other premier inn room. Our only problem was one of our family members went outside during the night and couldn't get back in for half an hour. The key cards kept disconnecting and wouldn't work. In 2 nights there it happened 6 times. He was ringing the bell and it took half an hour for him to get back in. Also the beefeater pub next door, we arrived late on the Friday 2100 hrs and my partner went over to the pub to ask for warm milk for our daughters bottle and it was locked up but the times states for this are 2300 hrs to close. Other than that we had a peaceful stay without any disturbance

Great meal, will be using again

I have been using Rumbles for years - staff always friendly- and food always very tasty

Every time we come we have an issue. 3 times we have come and we’ve not been able to eat due to being closed or kitchen shut. This time topped our final straw. We sat and waited for 30 minutes before being served. To be told the meals we wanted they didn’t have. No one told us of this before we waited. Would not recommend & will not be returning.

We have had some nice meals here over the years, but now as there are rumours of closure, some employees have lost interest or have left.

Good corner shop, staff helpful and pleasant. Popped in to get an international driving permit - post offices don't seem to do these? - all done neat and tidy and pretty quick. Would have been tempted by the sandwiches, but dinner prep was already underway..
