The best restaurants in Welwyn West Welwyn Hatfield East of England

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

Evening Meal in this local Italian based restaurant. The food was absolutely fabulous. The calamari perfectly cooked and all the food beautifully presented and delicious.

Booked in advance for a group of 11, many incorrect orders, portions not very generous, mackerel salad was 1 fillet with mostly lettuce at £14 and a hours wait fot it all. Overall a bit disappointing.

Really disappointed, expected a much better quality of food for the price. Especially after reading the glowing reviews. Everything tasted as if cooked from frozen and chips were like supermarket oven chips. Rice was dry and undercooked. Tzatziki and Chili Sauce were poor. Staff were very friendly but would not return or recommend.

This is a beautiful boutique cake shop in Old Welwyn, with the most delicious cupcakes, cakes, sandwiches and afternoon teas. It's run by an absolutely lovely local lady who makes the most amazing bakes! The shop is really pretty and quaint, with beautiful crockery and a lovely friendly vibe in the centre of Old Welwyn. The shop has a fantastic range of cakes and treats, including options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, which is brilliant. I often admire their celebration, birthday and wedding cakes online as well - they look amazing (maybe I need to get married again ;) ) Will definitely be back!

This is a takeaway with a small restaurant next door. The fish Haddock was superbly cooked and the chips were not enormous. The restaurant was friendly and service timely

Best service ever from Jay ,patience overloaded catering for elderly n disabled pple,well done Jay

Took a reservation for tonight (my birthday), turnt up to the whole restaurant closed and no one answering the phone. Won’t be returning.

Fantastic experience staying at the 14th century pub! 🍻🍷I've come here with friends many times on and off throughout the past few years for there delicious Roast lunches. Currently staying in the beautiful No 1 huge and cosy room with so many old historic features!! Brilliant. Food and beverages are delicious and varied. Staff here are superb and so attentive. It's a great place and atmosphere esteemed in so much history. 😊🍺🥃

Came here with my mum for a special Birthday meal. The staff were absolutely fabulous - friendly, attentive, caring and knowledgable. They made my Mum feel special, which was lovely. We are from the lunch menu which was divine. Already booked to return in December. Thank you to all.

Café estaba bien, tartas bueno, asientos un poco dura. Personal amable. está bien situado para la High Street. agradable café.

Went for evening meal, had a warm welcome and excellent food and service. Signature Wellington absolutely delicious, will definitely be returning.

After coming the other Sunday and having the most beautifully cooked gammon in apple and Turkey I decided to change my usual girls Wednesday night out to here for a change and what a great decision .we all had starters mains and desserts all looked and tasted lovely and the chefs special dessert we was offered was a real show stopper we will be back again soon . The staff all really friendly and very attentive and again 100% improvement to a couple of months ago thank-you for a really enjoyable evening

Booked afternoon tea at the Cowshed with family and friends for a special anniversary. The staff were brilliant but the afternoon tea was extremely disappointing and not good value for money. The teas were so weak that they were like dishwater. We asked for some more tea to be added to the pot full of water. The photographs on websites are deceptive. They give the impression that the cakes are a reasonable size but it was like a selection of petit fours. The savoury was described as salt baked beetroot tartlet with bloody Mary sauce. They were like tiny crostini that were dry with a few tiny bits of beetroot on. Certainly nothing like the size of other savouries in photographs. As other reviews have mentioned, the sandwiches were 3 small fingers. The scones were alright. We have had afternoon in other places and this doesn't compare. All in all a big disappointment and not good value for money.

I never knew the Waggoners existed until my friend suggested we visit for a celebration event. Driving along the B197 from Welwyn you go up the hill and there is a turning on your right to Ayot Green. This takes you over the A1(M) and immediately you are in the idyllic village of Ayot Green. There is a turning to your left and the Waggoners Pub is signposted. The area is quite tranquil but I could not get the constant drone of the motorway out of my head. For that reason I would suggest eating inside. There is a lunchtime menu where you can have two or three courses and the prices were fairly competitive for what you get. I did not realise that it was a french restaurant and was keen to try what was on offer. We had three courses and the food was excellent and we did not have long to wait between courses. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was GLORIOUS! I would definitely recommend it! The young lady who served us was very friendly, helpful and professional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
