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

Arranged an afternoon tea for a special aunt on the occasion of her 90th birthday and what a wonderful time we all had. The staff were simply amazing, greeting my aunt when we arrived, but then just being there when required. Loved the tea selection especially the Lapsang and the sandwiches and cakes were lovely and definitely moreish. All in all it was the perfect afternoon and we couldn't have asked for me. Thank you all.

What a wonderful find. We stumbled across Toast on our visit to Stortford and, together with our little dog, were warmly welcomed. We ordered coffees, a meaty breakfast and a vegan breakfast with an actual vegan sausage, a first for us! It is so refreshing to see a vegan breakfast on a menu instead of the usual vegetarian breakfast where you have to tell the staff no eggs etc (but normally end up paying for all the items you’ve not had anyway). This was the opposite, starts out vegan and you can build it up to make it into a vegetarian. Everything was lovely and we were even given a ‘doggie’ sausage for our fur baby. It is the little touches that make a big difference and very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

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.

Lunch time visit today , with my Partner and Her Mother . A most excellent time was had and the Food was exceptionally good . I chose the Cottage Pie with Cauliflower Cheese from their “specials board” . Extremely good to eat . My Part and Her Mother chose Cheese on Toast , one on Brown bread and one on White ! The food was cooked to order with generous portions . As usual the Proprietor and His Wife were friendly and accommodating .

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.

We went for a lunch and ordered whole chicken with sides and drinks. Great value, wasn't dry at all. Special thanks to Clayton , he is fantastic at what he does, he was so great with our little one . We've noticed they were short staffed but he had everything under control. We had very nice time.

The mushroom starter was pleasant and the soup was fine. The Xmas dinner was disappointing. Not much of it - sliced parsnips and carrots very meagre. The gravy was very salty. The beef rib gravy was also salty. Cheesecake was so sweet none of the party wanted it. A service charge automaticity added though I’ve since read it is voluntary. Last years Xmas meal was delicious, that’s why we returned. This year, sorry, not so much.

Really lovely food and service, we had a wonderful lunch, lovely homely decor and welcoming. Highly recommended the place!

The service is next to none and the food is superb Well done Darren

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.

Positives - Absolutely beautiful pub, with highly attentive, happy staff. Negatives - I fancied some cheesy chips with my pint... The smallest portion of chips, not fries (good thing) arrived and they were by far the most disgusting chips I have ever eaten... anywhere, in my entire life. Absolutely soaked in old, very smelly & obviously extremely dirty fryer oil. Utterly rank... I'll not be returning I'm afraid.

We have been here twice now and the staff & service just exceptional. The staff are so welcoming, warm amd friendly. Great Sunday Roast too and general lunch menu, pheasant ragu and roast were delicious. Would highly recommend.

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
