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

We stayed on the attached Campsite while attending a wedding locally. What a find this place was. Excellent campsite with facilities on pitches, very well kept by Mark. Site security was excellent. Cafe onsite offered variety of food including fantastic homemade cakes made by Helen. Throughly recommend this place to stay over or just visiting the Cafe. Good selection of plants as well.

Il ristorante di Waren House e’ di una ricercatezza che finora non avevo ancora trovato in Inghilterra. Aperitivo e caffè sono serviti in salottini distaccati dalla sala da pranzo principale, gli arredi sono assolutamente eleganti – a prescindere dai gusti personali –, il servizio al tavolo è impeccabile. La carta propone piatti tradizionali rivisitati nel gusto e nella presentazione da accompagnare con uno dei vini scelti nella interminabile lista. Costoso, ma con un perché.

what a find a suburb restaurant hidden away in Hitchin college run by the students this was my wife and i 3rd visit to the meadows a very high standard of service and the food is fantastic you must try it

Brilliant venue for a kids party! Everything was thought of, we were well catered for, and the birthday girl (age 6) absolutely loved it. Thank you!

Went for a Sunday lunch as had a personal recommendation from a former client. And we are really glad we went along it was only ten miles from where we live and often pass it on the A1 but never been in this time we made the effort and it was well worth it. All home cooked possibly with exception of the dessert but the roast and vegetables all local sourced and freshly cooked and what a treat, service was brilliant and friendly. They had only just opened up for lunch but we were happy to wait the plates nice and hot food with a separate gravy pot as well. would highly recommend ideal for families, couples, business people. clean modern and not a transport cafe so do not pass this one,

Delicious meal and great service. Really good family celebration 🍾 10 of us had different things to eat and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is lovely, sociable and warm on a cold day

Food is served fast hot and tasty, very happy 😊

We went for Valentine’s Day dinner and had quite a disappointing experience. The food was lovely but the experience was a let down. When we arrived, our coats were taken and the atmosphere was lovely so was a good start but then it went downhill when it felt like we were being neglected and treated differently to everyone else in the restaurant. We didn’t have the menu explained to us at all so weren’t sure if we had to order from the set menu etc. We then weren’t offered water for the table but we noticed everyone else was. We asked for some water and got given either still or tap but we weren’t given any option and other people were. We were then given some bread but no butter and again, we saw all the other tables getting butter. We then ordered our mains and starters which were lovely, I have no complaints about the quality of food. We were not checked on though at all throughout the meal or offered any more drinks. We had to wait over an hour between finishing our main and then we had to flag down a waiter to ask for dessert. Then when we wanted to order dessert, it appeared that all the other tables were served before us and some received their desserts before we had even been asked. At this point we had been at the restaurant for 3 hours and just wanted to go home so instead of dessert, we asked for the bill. The bill then took so long to come out, that we should have just ordered dessert. I still don’t really know if we paid for a 3 course or 2 course meal as there was no price breakdown, but being classic British people, we didn’t cause a fuss at the time as we didn’t want to ruin our evening more. When we got up to leave, we had to then go and find our coats…again, everyone else was given their coat by the waiter. The whole time we felt like we had done something wrong and were treated differently to everyone else. It was such a shame as I can see how this would be a great restaurant but on this occasion, the experience was a let down.

always good, huge portions, fresh and tasty.

This is a nice pub with good service and tasty food. For dinner or weekends it's a bit pricier than surrounding pubs (so make sure you're sitting down when you get the bill!) but you are getting quality for it. They offer a lunch deal during the week which is a bit easier on the wallet and worth trying if you can manage getting away from work.

Amazing Food. Plenty of options for Wheat Free, including simple adaptations to Menus. Really friendly Team that were the epitome of a Welcoming Environment. A really nice Evening was had.

Great lunch, pub classics done to an exceptional standard. A very warm and friendly pub, in a pretty village. Dog friendly.

This is possibly the most welcoming cafe in Hitchin, which is why we return regularly. The staff are great, the food is lovely (such a selection) and the price is not typical of Hitchin pretentiousness! Highly recommended.

I love the potting shed and go there often for a lunchtime treat, but will struggle to return. I dont know what has happened as the ladies serving are normally lovely and the food amazing. The wait for our food yesterday was an agonising 45 minutes with not an ounce of being bothered or a hint of apology from staff. I let them know we were there as required and after about 15 minutes of waiting for our order to be taken i went in to remind them we were there and asked for our order to be taken, explaining i was in my lunch break. A lovely man duly came out to take our order. It took another 30 minutes for our order to arrive, by which time we just wanted to get up and walk out, we were starving and really fed up waiting. It wasn’t busy. We are used to a lovely looking plate of food with a bit of salad and crisps with the sandwich, but when our lunch turned iup it was disappointing. The cheese and onion toastie sat lonely with its bit of green salad on the plate and truly not worth the £9.50 cost. It was nice, but not value for money. Especially after we waited 45 minutes for it without any recognition of the wait. I waited again to pay for an experience i hadn’t enjoyed which added to my frustration. I politely ask the man serving about the wait, i really wanted to have a big moan but held it in. He absolutely didn’t care less saying people had turned at at the same time ( it was not busy at all) and didnt bat an eyelid when he took my £35 for 3 sandwiches a latter and 2 glasses if apple juice. It really hurt handing over the money.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good coffee. Lovely setting. Pleasure to have a snack here and we will definitely visit again!
