The best restaurants serving British food in East Hertfordshire East of England

Lovely tea room! The food is freshly made and absolutely lovely. We had afternoon tea it was beautifully made. The staff including the owner Sarah were brilliant hosts. Very warming/friendly as you walk in. I would highly recommend the tea room 100% Tracey, Debbie & Phyllis

I had bought a wheel of tete de moine last Christmas, which The Cheese Plate had posted to me. It was great and I wanted another one this Christmas but this time I thought I'd drive up to Buntingford and see what else they have. Fortunately I was able to buy their last wheel of tete de moine, which, surprisingly, was the same price as last year! But they had some lovely other cheeses too - a spread of English, French, Swiss, Italian and Spanish I believe. The highlight was the creamy/gooey gorgonzola but I also bought a small pot of garlic jelly - something I hadn't seen before and an excellent morbier, far better than what's on offer in supermarkets.

Visited again for Breakfast and was most impressed that the high standards are being maintained . The food was most excellent and the proprietors friendly .

Friendly service, excellent coffee, nice wide selection of food. Good quality, well presented and reasonably priced.

Having eaten at the George a few times I thought it was time to right a review. The food we have had on every visit is exceptional, last night we had the scotch egg and grilled king prawns followed by the sirloin steak for 2, the chefs obviously are passionate about what they do and it shows in the food. The service is unassuming but very efficient the perfect combination. We will definitely be back again.

The vegetarian options are limited

Just phoned the restaurant to book a table for tomorrow. Was looking forward to trying the restaurant for Sunday lunch as the reviews were really good and the food looked great. Spoke to a man on the phone who was very abrupt, bordering on rude. When I asked to book a table he said there was a booking fee of £5 which would be knocked off my bill. I understand why a restaurant would do this so I had no objection to it. So I moved money from a savings account to a current account. He then asked for all my bank details and was unnecessarily brusk during the process. My card was declined and I couldn’t understand why. He then said it was £10. I said that I thought he’d said £5. He then clarified that it was £5 per person. I then moved across more money which takes seconds as it’s all on the one app but he was frustrated with me and asked if I wanted to call back later but he wouldn’t be able to guarantee the table. I was taken aback by his manner and poor attitude and decided not to bother booking at all. If the staff are this rude, my experience at the restaurant would not have been good, and although I am passionate about food, part of the overall experience is the service. I wish I had asked for his name as he does not deserve to have a job in hospitality, but I was a bit shocked at the time. So disappointing.

The food was amazing! Very friendly staff! The best steak I’ve ever had. Will certainly be going back! Nothing to complain to about.

We popped into The Bull for a lunch time drink with the anticipation of having lunch as the board outside sounded good. We ordered a medium Pinot Blush and a pint of Moriate ...We are not skin flints by any imagination...but I had to question how these drinks came to £16.35? When the average price for these drinks in surrounding areas are £14.00 and that's a large wine not a medium. I know times hard but something is wrong here.

My husband and I had lunch at the dusty miller today, I had chicken wings, my husband had seafood, we both had the wagu burger. Both were very tasty. We were served by the temp manager Callum ( hope I spelled it correctly) Lovely young guy !!! He knows how to treat the customers. That’s coming from a retired pub manager. *****

Excellent food friendly staff can’t rate it highly enough. The menu has a varied and wide selection to meet everybody’s needs. Lovely garden. The staff are friendly helpful and we didn’t have to wait a long time for our drinks and food. It is very personable great place to go with friends and family as it caters for everybody’s needs. You are also allowed pets and they provide water for them.

Very busy when I was there, but the staff tried hard to keep everyone happy

Excellent Sunday lunch - one of the best I've had in a pub. Friendly service. Lovely atmosphere and setting with cosy open fires and super clean toilets. Thank you!

Visited with my dad for his bday lunch. Was really nice we both had the toasties and had half and half. Very busy even on a Monday lunchtime. Business is booming!

Had a lovely meal (lasagne) from the fox aspenden. The new owners and chef have done really well. Will defo be back to try their new menus xx
