The best restaurants serving British food in St Albans East of England

This is a great place for a large, well cooked breakfast, By 9.30am most of the tables were full and I can see why. Friendly staff, good tea, excellent food and a lovely local relaxed atmosphere. I had the Bubble and Squeak with extra mushrooms and bacon, and it was lovely; good portion, well cooked.

The Wheathampstead Fryer is a great village chippy servings a great selection of freshly cooked take away meals. Although they take orders by phone a website with the menu and the ability to order online would be useful.

A beautiful setting by the water on a sunny evening, 1st was the house red wine which was delicious followed by an amazing 3 courses, The organic beef short rib which was a delightful & one of the best starters I have ever tasted ( please make this a main course) I then went for the rump of lamb which was cooked to perfection & then finished with a knickerbocker glory! What a treat!!! Our waiter Daniel was excellent & very attentive & knowledgeable about the dishes he also kept our wine topped up, we will certainly return so we can sample more of this superb menu, thanks for making our Saturday evening a memorable one.

Lovely cafe, excellent food and brilliant staff. Very cosy!

Lovely friendly environment. Just a brilliant place and very relaxing.

All round okay! December quality desserts and plenty of choice (even takeaway to cook at home). Very nice atmosphere, calming. Typically dessert shops are colourful, noisy and, dare I say, cheap looking - not here. You could take your kids here and your Nan. Good for all ages.

Really nice little cafe in Harpenden. Friendly staff 😊

Perfecte plek uitstekend ontbijt genoten we hebben er meerdere bezocht in Saint Albans maar deze vonden wij had de beste kwaliteit.Een aanrader

Great food and reasonable service but for 2 adults and 2 young children the bill was around £600 and at that price point it just lacked the wow factor for us. The headline prices seem ok but by the time you add wine pairing service charge, mocktail for kids etc it felt we were paying London Michelin prices for an experience that fell a little short of that. It was a shame as we had come several times but were put off going back with prices having gone up.

A useful pub at the intersection of several public footpaths, this pub has good food and atmosphere. Popular with walkers; plenty of parking and a good selection of ales on tap.

The three of us had a great lunch on Friday 6th December. Great comfort food in a pleasant pub setting. The staff were helpful and professional. They also looked after our dog. Recommend the place if walking in Nomansland or Heartwood Forest. We’ll be back.

A really excellent midweek lunch menu and wine-by-the-glass selection. My only problem was deciding which starter and main course to choose - I could have happily chosen them all! Very friendly and efficient service and great food too.

We visited this immaculately clean well presented fish and chip restaurant for a late lunch and enjoyed some freshly cooked food that was hot and delicious. Very friendly service and we would definitely eat here again if we were in the area.

Beautiful ambience which is what pulled me into the place walking past. Lovely staff and service, I would have stayed only that I was going for dinner. By the r time we left it was full up with a lovely buzz about this place. I am not local but will definitely return again to try more drinks and the food. Highly recommend

Lovely place to get freshly made sandwiches. The bacon and sausage sandwiches are a favourite with the family. Along with the selection of smoothies and milkshakes.
