The best restaurants in Welwyn Hatfield East of England

It's such a wonderful family, traditional pub. Always welcoming and friendly, happy to have children in the pub. Great menu with excellent service. Also dog friendly. They do alot for charity as well.

Great coffee, great food, and good service. Gets very busy.

When looking for wedding venues we had a number of requirements namely needing somewhere that would be able to adjust the food to our needs. After a few not quite right venues we found Essendon and we couldn't have picked a better venue. Everything about this venue for a wedding is amazing. Joanna (wedding planner extraordinaire) is hands down the best person to help plan your wedding. Nothing was too much to ask and they helped us plan a menu fit for our needs. The day went without a hitch and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Even when the schedule of the evening changed a bit the team seamlessly carried on and made it look as though everything was happening when it should. Shout out to Fiona and her golf buggy driving skills. We would highly recommend this venue and team.

Amazing dinner and fab service. Loved it.

My friend and I have eaten in this restaurant before and really enjoyed it. Maybe the management has changed but we went there a few days ago and complained to three staff members about the bowl of salad served with our lamb shish. It was just a soggy mass of ghastly bland vegetables, white cabbage and sweetcorn and other unrecognisable stuff, nothing like a proper Turkish salad. One waiter tried to tell us it was a complimentary salad specially for us, although a salad was shown on the menu as included in the price. I told him and 2 other waiters that it looked like it had been sitting around for 2 or 3 days. The veggies were all one colour - sludge - apart from sweet corn, which we have never had before in a Turkish salad. There was just one half slice of tomato and about 4 baby spinach leaves arranged on the edge. It sat in a wet tasteless pool of liquid. I just cannot express how bad it was. I should have taken a photo. Also, although there was a good portion of very tender lamb, the bulgar wheat portion was minimal. We definitely will not be going back again. All they needed to do to put it right was to remove the soggy salad and bring us a proper fresh Turkish salad but no such offer was made to us. So disappointing.

Good old fashioned workers cafe, plenty of choice, food excellent, service friendly and courteous. Will definitely revisit.

Brilliant food the best curry I've ever had.

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.

Best roast beef lunch I’ve ever had & I’ve had a lot! The staff were very friendly & accommodating. Coming from up North (Norwich) I had to ask for more gravy highly recommend 10/10

Me and my daughter had lamb and Stilton pie it were delicious 😋 and the staff are so welcoming and friendly I would definitely recommend this place I’m looking forward to visiting soon great atmosphere great food great service what more do you need keep up the good work 😁

Can’t speak highly enough of this venue, beautiful decor, cozy log fire and perfectly prepared and presented food. It’s a bit of a hidden gem this one and surprised it’s not busier. We will definitely be going back!

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.

Great little fish bar, always call in advance to book, saves the waiting time!! Recommend!!

What a lovely atmospheric pub this is and the Indian food was exceptional and good value for the money. Customer service was excellent and we were made to feel welcome. If only we had this pub near us in Derbyshire! If you’re in this area it’s a must to visit.

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!
