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.

We had coffees which we really liked. Cozy and clean cafe with happy and nice employees. Glad we found it. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

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

The pecan pie was sooooooooo good

Love the breakfast and all the food. When I think about breakfast or lunch, the perfect place is Cafe Alfresco

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.

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.

I have been to number of high end places recently in an effort to try out the best locals in St Albans - and I must say this is the best so far - Beata the waitress was lovely and attentive and and sensitive to my needs regarding my supplementary Oxygen - me and my friend had a lovely three hours with mains and desserts and high quality cocktails which were on a good offer. I will definitely go back.

Don't know if there is new management, but does seem to have gone down hill a bit recently. Food was ok last time I went, but they never write you're order down, so they either repeat it back wrong, or deliver the wrong food to the table, because they didn't remember accurately what I asked for.

Stopped by for lunch today, beautiful decor, food was delicious, service was great. Our waitress Jackie went above and beyond to make sure we were happy (we really were) We will definitely be telling others about this gem!

Service, food and atmosphere all spot on. Can’t recommend enough

Food was great and staff was incredible. Absolutely recommend going there.

It’s a lovely building set right in the heart of the town centre. That being said you could literally go to this place for twenty years and the staff would still not interact with you; and or acknowledge you’d ever set foot in the place before. To say most of the staff are sullen and don’t appear to want to work there is an understatement. Tacos are very good and would recommend everything on the menu.

I do not often write reviews but because of the experience I had, I wanted to do so. The service was such a pleasure. In particular, the manager Carl was so polite, courteous, affable, always smiling and happy to spend a few minutes checking you were happy and to ask how we were. It was such a pleasure to have someone provide such engagement with you that I have had for a long time. Most places you go to you get the brief quick check up to see if everything is alright (as it usually is mandatory to do so by the place) which is often curt and less engaging. This time Carl provides a breath of fresh air and should be recognised for doing so. So do think again about going to any coffee chain in St Albans and enjoy a pleasant time at Bills in their very nice refurbished place in the centre. If Carl is working, all the better.

A fabulous Sunday lunch with family enhanced by truly stunning service & hospitality from Sarah , Sean , James & Kendal , all brilliant in every respect .
