The best restaurants serving British food in St Peters 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.

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

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

The perfect place for a break after a stroll in the park. Great service and the best coffee in St Albans made by skilled baristas. Desserts consistently excellent but I particularly recommend the brownies and blondies. My only wish is that they would open earlier in the mornings.

Food was great, staff where very friendly and polite and the café was very clean with a good atmosphere. Would recommend.

Booked Christmas lunch based on a recommendation and it was a good recommendation. Nick the manager is very accommodating and the food was excellent. The tasting menu had if anything too much food, so no complaints. We eat in central London a lot and some restaurants there could learn from Thompson. The staff were probably all students however they were focused on making sure we had a good time and providing a good level of service. Not the least bit pretentious as some London restaurants can be. We all had the wine pairing which was generous. The prices are not cheap but when we consider the whole experience we thought it was well worth it. Value for money. We were delighted we picked Thompson for Christmas Day.

Rude staff and slow service. Proprietor became threatening, when I dared to complain. Codess on Victoria Street is a good alternative. Avoid!

Went to miller and carter for Christmas Day lunch. The restaurant was busy but not fully booked as there were plenty of empty tables with guest trickling in through out the afternoon. The staff were all welcoming and polite. They were very accommodating when we had to change our table to downstairs as a family member couldn’t manage stairs. However the food was disappointing for the money charged, the bread served was dried out, the starter (king prawns) were burnt from the charcoal grill. The turkey was moist and tasty but the broccoli was burnt (not sure how it was cooked) and the cauliflower cheese was stone cold. Finally the cheese cake topped with profiteroles dessert was stodgy and all 5 desserts were pretty much untouched. They looked like they were frozen desserts that had been thawed out. The waitress didn’t even say anything when she cleared our plates. The overall experience left us disappointed and would not recommend M&C for Christmas Day lunch at all.

Clean quick service friendly staff Great large set menu or choose your own food set meals are large with door step toast or bread Poss the best cafe in the town Still up to it’s usual quick service high standards good food reasonable price

lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor, staff were all really kind and helpful. great place!

Super tasty food and really nice staff!

We loved everything about this place. The atmosphere, the food and the service. We dined on Christmas Eve and everything was second to none. Highly recommended

I went for a drink with some friends, and while most of the staff were absolutely lovely, one individual seemed to feel that English manners fell short compared to those of Americans or Canadians, which was rather disappointing. As decided to school me on this. It was not welcome

Wen for a family meal. Had great service from Vanessa who went above and beyond to make our evening fabulous. The food was on point. We will be back

We came here one Sunday for lunch and we were not disappointed. Great choice of food and drinks. Friendly service. Lovely pub, with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for a pitstop.
