The best restaurants serving British food in Bishop's Stortford Meads East Hertfordshire East of England

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 came here with my daughter and her friend to get a takeaway and was served by Clayton. His customer service is top tier and should be studied! Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and for being so friendly. I never forget excellent customer service and so wanted to share my experience at this branch.

6 of us ladies of leisure had breakfast in here this morning. Have been here a few times and they never disappoint. Food and service is consistently good. Run by a lovely friendly family. We all opted for omelettes ( different fillings) and they were perfect. Good coffee as well. Will be making this a more regular haunt . Can’t recommend enough

What a find this place is! My favourite go to as far as coffee shops are concerned. This is a family and dog friendly cafe which offers generous portions and great affordable prices compared to other establishments in the town. The coffee is divine , the milkshakes are so thick and creamy but if you fancy something healthier, they also have smoothies and fresh OJ. Their menu also includes gluten free, veggie/ vegan options which is a huge plus when eating out in a group as there's something for everyone. I'm also told there'll be gluten free cakes in the near future. The owners are incredibly charming and the staff provide outstanding and friendly service. They're always going above and beyond for the customers. So! If you ever find yourself in Bishop's Stortford, give this place a try, you won't regret it.

Tasty food & beers/ales for a reasonable price.

The place is really lovely and the building is quirky so on first impressions, a great start. The food looked amazing and the home made cake selection was off the chart good. What made this experience less than amazing was the service was so cold and impersonal. I was ignored firstly by no less than 4 people, when someone eventually asked if they could help, I said I wanted to order and she pointed to the till down at the end hidden by 2 large guys ordering and told me to order there and off she went. I ordered and no smiles, not pleasantries. I then orders cakes to takeaway and again, nothing. I tried to engage in a smile and chat but nothing. My takeaway sandwich was ready on the pass and ignored until eventually, the girl on the till brought it to me. She passed it to me with no words, no thank you and no smiles. In my experience, when so many people are void of pleasant customer service it tells me this isn’t a fun and happy place to work. Owners - take a look at your working culture and instil some fun into it!

Good evening! I’ve been a returning customer of the star for over four years now. I was always impressed by the service and food, hence why I’ve always returned. Last night, I had an unfortunate experience that means I won’t be returning. An employee (with long hair, baggy shorts, nose piercings) was extremely rude towards my friends and I. She first came out with our food and slammed it down on the table. Then she brought my friends food out which had a bug on it. My friend asked for a new dish as obviously it had a fly on it. The girl said “Well, (10 second pause) I’ll see what my manager says” and then continued to huff and sigh very loudly as she walked off. Personally, I’ve never been spoken to like that and I was not impressed by how rude she was. Rolling her eyes at us and just being for all I can describe ‘not a very nice person’
