The best restaurants in St Albans East of England

Unplanned visit so I didn’t read any reviews before I went in gladly! This morning I’ve had the best coffee I’ve had in quite a while. Perfectly made flat white. I like the coffee beans they’re using and it was made so well - a genuine flat white which is hard to fine. Decor not to my taste and they need to keep on top of cleaning the facilities a bit better (passable but could be better) but next time I’m in St Albans I’ll definitely go back for another coffee. Staff friendly and welcoming.

My friend and I treated ourselves to Notcutts Festive Afternoon Tea with Prosecco in lieu of a present, and were absolutely delighted with it. The tea itself was fresh and plentiful, with some novel ideas, like a ‘pig in blanket’ and a strawberry trifle. The staff were attentive and friendly. Special thanks to the manager, Jeff, for creating a good seasonal atmosphere. The price was very reasonable, much lower than other venues, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the tea to others. Hope you continue to provide similar offers at other times of the year. Happy Christmas!🎅

Agree with other reviewers. Very dry. Tasted old and reheated. I recall when egg fried rice used to be white....

Gave it a second try and had the same poor experience . Staff are bad , service is slow , place is grubby and I can’t stand seeing dogs sitting inside a good establishment it’s dirty enough . It has no personality .

This place is ideal if you just love salads. There are huge portions and a large variety of delicious dishes to choose. It's fun to make your selection. I would, however, prefer to have a slightly smaller plateful for a little less money. Otherwise, it's a really healthy lunch.

Had the breakfast baguette, massive portion and very tasty, and well worth the money, fills me up for the whole day (Deliveroo)

Visited Pausa in Wolverhampton Dunelm for lunch waited 25mins to be served ! No soup, no jacket spuds !! No system you have one person serving drinks so other staff can serve. When my husband asked why he was told to get out !! He is diabetic and had his injection so he needed to eat. He told them he wasn’t complaining he just wanted some answers. If you are going to offer cafe facilities please ensure they are run efficiently. If you don’t have the items take them off the menu. I am sorry to write this but all the customers were complaining I shop at Dunelm regularly it is a great shop, but sorry will not use cafe again. Mrs Tame

Placed a order on just eat after a hour pasted from. When it was meant to turn up i called them appartly they've already come out but no missed calls on my phone when we get are food it was awful I would say the worse I have ever had.

Coffee was delicious..americano with hot milk on the side. Very nice scone and cream. Some tables hadn't been cleared but there was enough space. Counter service a little slow but it was quite busy. Glad to see pastries were covered.

Cheesecake to die for! Hubby and daughter very happy with their Sundae and waffle. We were told delivery between 8:20 and 8:45 it arrived at 8:10 😊

Food is absolutely dire. Pastries, cakes, sandwiches etc are out of date. Staff sly and disingenuous

Habiendo conducido hasta pasado el campamento un número de veces que me pareció que era tiempo para comprobarlo esta pintoresca casa público grande. El pub tiene un montón de mesas al aire libre; dice amplio aparcamiento y los lugareños es un buen pub. Visitamos un viernes por la noche y me pareció el lugar cerrado; se cree que el campamento había sido recientemente cerrada y está destinado a ser demolida y sustituida con viviendas. Una gran pérdida para la comunidad a la que sirve.

Visitamos el Gallery Café (en la base) para Trestle café y croissant, sábado por la mañana las Artes Base sólo está abierta el sábado durante el semestre escolar. Como clases de ballet estaban teniendo lugar el café estaba bastante concurrida. Había una exposición de artes, como parte de la Open estudios; el Herts artista, Audrey Woodhead, debería haber estado presente, pero no la vi. Base de Artes Trestle es conocido por sus máscaras teatrales y muchos de estos se muestra alrededor del edificio. El café era normal, el croissant era agradable. Wi-fi disponible; el personal era amable. En la esquina del café es una cesta con juguetes infantiles y libros. Cuidado: el horario es diferente durante las vacaciones escolares

Nice but waited several decades to get served at the bar on a Saturday afternoon.
