The best restaurants in Wheathampstead St Albans East of England

Great food here as always. Best Indian restaurant around. Come from Dunstable to here as there's no Indian restaurant around my area as good as this place. Great food, nice service. Always a pleasure to come here 👌

We arrived at what appeared a charming, characterful, old building. That was the highlight! Inside is the opposite and we were greeted with "your table is down there, second on the left" To give you some insight, I have been to Thailand many times, have many Thai friends and have eaten Thai cuisine with them, in Thailand and many Thai restaurants. The food we were served in the Golden Elephant is not representative of Thai food nor good, well cooked fresh food of any description. The Chinese mushrooms with bamboo shoots was in fact 3/4 of one close cupped mushroom with some very soggy out of date bamboo shoots. The Weeping Tiger that we asked to be cooked med rare was cooked until it was crispy. The chicken with ginger was slimy and bland. The sizzling seafood mix was 4 prawns and a few half scallops in a bland sauce. The aromatic duck was overcooked and nothing about it was aromatic. Each portion was small, bland, over cooked and failed to taste like fresh ingredients that were stir fried by a competent Chef. I know that my Thai friends would have sent it all back as would I if I hadn't been taken there by friends who have not before eaten good Thai food and I didn't want to offend them. There are many good Thai restaurant in Hertfordshire but stay away from this place.

Very nice place. I would recommend a visit

We had booked for an end of term dinner, it was a beautiful hot day and the team went above and beyond so we could have dinner in their garden. Keely was incredibly busy and it was a very hot evening but she ensured fantastic service to our large group and the other diners. Many thanks to Keely and the team x

I was surprised to see this ranked 12 of 13 as the food was fantastic (particularly the ravioli) is a great range of veggie options, great wine, v reasonably priced too with great friendly service. We were there for a friends hen do & had a lovely time & I’ll def go back

Very nice pub. Never been there before. Well worth another visit.

We ordered pizza delivery from here on a Monday and it took 45 minutes for 3 pizza to arrive and when they did it was cold. We live less and mile away, won’t be using again as this is the second time we had a bad experience with Wheathampstead nonnos

Nicky is an amazing waitress, my family were really impressed with her professionalism and customer service overall the service was excellent and had a lovely time at this restaurant. We will definitely be returning especially because of Nicky.

Absolutely beautiful gem of a place you won't be disappointed. Friendly professional and staff who are simply wonderful. Just had a delicious cheese and tomato sandwich with side salad. That was perfect. They have a good and varied menu but pleased they have traditional snacks as well. The garden area is beautiful and so peaceful too. Friendly locals and huge car park.

Fantastic from start to find, the chef/owner does everything from take your order to wash the dishes. Food is fresh and delightful, a must visit.

Sunday lunch, a bit busy. We were limited to six and had a table by the door opening onto the wigwam. Unfortunately the servers and customers made frequent use of the door letting cold and bumping against our char backs.. it ideal. I had the lentil Wellington which was adventurous and tasty. We did not start for dessert. A mixed bit and a mixed review. The parking area could use some serious TLC.
