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 custard donut was to die for and the coffee was very nice too!

Nice vibe. Good coffee and a very tasty sausage, bacon and egg in a brioche bun!

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

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.

Only place that seemed to be open in the city centre (7am) for a fried breakfast . Food came very quickly . 2 quid for a can of coke is expensive.Breakfast £7 Drink £2

The food is absolutely delicious. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our server was Jackie and she was wonderful. We had the roasts. I had pork belly and my wife had chicken. Both of which were so tasty and came with loads of trimmings. We couldn't believe that we got a table so easily. This place should be packed out all the time..the food is that good. And great value too.

Trenna runs a fantastc classic style pub. The locals are very lucky to have The Boot in their village.

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.

A little hard to find the place, wouldn’t go off google maps, will take you behind the place… but loved the food and the service. Absolutely lovely, would definitely go again.

Excellent lunch today, never been but definitely would come back if in St Albans

Unfortunately the breakfast was a big flop because it was entirely cold. Given it was already winter and I was really looking forward to it. I had the garden plate and wish the plate was warm; a solution. And then you end up paying tax on top. It used to be my favourite place; lovely interior, stylish cosy, but lacking that vibrancy in the food now. Premium price without the delivery.

Lovely old boozer. Friendly staff. Well kept beer and live music
