The best restaurants in Welwyn Hatfield East of England

We visited We r cakes vintage tea rooms for afternoon tea on 2nd November 2024. We went to celebrate my 50th birthday! It was just perfect! The ambience of the vintage tearoom takes you back in time. Bev and the team went above and beyond to cater to my fussiness. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious especially the mint butter and cucumber, and cheese and chutney sandwiches! ALL of the cakes just left me wanting more! Can't recommend this tearoom enough, and will be visiting again very soon. Thank you so much xx

So happy to have such an amazing restaurant on my door steps. Went for Taco Tuesday with some delicious options (The Pork being my favourite) if you're in Welwyn garden city it is definitely a place to hit up in the evening usually doing burgers and jerk chicken but honestly something amazing always pops up on the menus!

We had visited Sopers House on business and decided to treat ourselves to lunch. What a great choice! The food was absolutely superb - the French Fries were fluffy inside! I am gluten free and it was was easy for me to choose my food without a huge fuss and without feeling I was missing out. I also had a pot of tea whilst my husband was tempted by dessert. It is a long time since we have enjoyed a pot of tea and the relaxing experience of a long lunch.

4 of us went to The Orchid for a birthday tapas meal. We ordered a variety of dishes and a paella. Everything was freshly cooked and really enjoyable and the service was friendly and efficient. Full marks to Simon for running this business which is such an asset to Cuffley. It is lovely to feel so welcomed even if you just pop in for a coffee earlier in the day.

It is not bad as a community place to help many people in need. The food and drink was nice but ee would like our meals close to same time.

Great new venue for coffees, teas and lunch. Not many tables so best to book for lunch. Staff really friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food was excellent, had the lasagna which was clearly freshly made and very tasty and good value for money too. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Excellent breakfast perfectly cooked. Bacon and mushrooms especially good. Freshly cooked Nice clean cafe. Friendly staff.

Ordered spring rolls, pad Thai and green curry with Jasmine rice. The food was all delicious. I ordered gluten free versions as my wife can't have gluten. Even gluten free all dishes were better than those I've had at other Thai places. Food was ready on time and well cooked and all ingredients including the meat were high quality

I had the roast beef and smoked haddock rarebit starter it was very nice. Very friendly staff and posh ambience. It really was one of the best roast dinners. I’ve had in such a long time. Although the price was more expensive than other venues, it was absolutely delicious and I will return here in an instant.Ll

We went for lunch with some friends who had recommended it. The menu had a wide range of choices, and the food was well prepared, well presented, and tasted good. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the prices very reasonable. We wish them every success with this venture.

I always go into J&O whenever I am at the hospital, the staff are so friendly and the coffee is fantastic….love the skinny latte. I occasionally treat myself to a bit there as well and always tastes great. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Absolutely fantastic food! Fresh, tasty, hot! Every dish was spot on! We ordered a portion of chips too…. They were superb! Would highly recommend for your well deserved takeaway treat! Staff really friendly and always bang on time!

The gardens are stunning and the tearoom where we had afternoon tea and a toastie was beautiful! Their project, where teenagers learn the art of hospitality and catering was heartwarming, but equally, I definitely had better service and beautiful presentation of food from these young people than a lot of other cafe/restaurants! Overall, a very enjoyable and beautiful day out. We got some great pictures! Thank you!
