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

Great experience it's a real old fashioned pub

We had high hopes for this tucked away village pub but none of us could really garner enthusiasm during the course of our meal. I am sure this little pub has great potential, however. It was not busy at all...1/4 full but the food service was slow. We got the impression that meals were being cooked per one person per one table at a time, and below the standard we would expect for a simple pub meal. Salt snd pepper squid was over cooked intead of being lightly golden. Fish pie was dry and the leafy greens served were not cooked and inedible. Atmosphere lacking any warmth. We also agree from previous comments, that this pub is overpriced. Overall disappointed and we won't return.

I booked an igloo for a surprise bday about 6 weeks ago… only to be cancelled by voicemail at 1.56pm on the day… 5.5 hours before the booking! To say we were fuming is an understatement.

First of all let me say the building, decorations and everything internal is stunning and the staff are delightful. The food, not so much. Our guests had toasties, I've never seen such a small square of bread on the plate, no bits of salad on side. It looked dreadful and they were disappointed. My pizza was very mean on the pepperoni , and was greasy and my husbands burger and chips was ok but The burger was a very thin one. We had come all the way from Guildford to meet our Grandaughter's partner so didn't want to make an issue, but sadly won't return.

My daughter could shop for books and I could rest so no complaints here,lol. Thank you.

Two stars only because I was lied to. Went on Sunday at 4pm I asked if they still served Sunday roast. Yes I was told, all day!. We sat, and ordered drink and food only for the same waitress to return to inform us there was no beef no chicken...no Sunday roast ! Well, why not check before she took the order? In the end ... we had to settle for a f&c and you can guess the fish was of the frozen kind & only a handful of chips. Nice service & grt atmosphere and location but I won t ever go back to eat there.

I absolutely love the place and the staff members. It's always such a good experience. If this place was slightly bigger for the night weekends, it would've been amazing. 😊 Being a regular, I do wish that the DJ would sometimes change the repetitive playlist. Good music, though. Thank you to everyone there. X

Very nice dinner on Saturday at The Cock. The lamb was perfect and the cheesy bone marrow fries were a good pair. Service from the two girls Katie and Becks was very warm. Will come back.

First time of visiting the Beehive, but won't be the last, its a lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The garden is big with lots of booths and sesting and very comfortable. The food was also very good and lots of it! Definitely worth a visit!

It’s funny what can happen on a Thursday travelling down the London road in St Albans you stop at the Farmers Boys in St. Albans see a sea of people baby boomers and Gen X, bobbing bald heads of gentlemen being reminded of a time of love and camaraderie thought lost. No challenges , no issues here just a great group of people enjoying what can only be described as music at its best no technology fine tuning , raw musicality and talent excellence to the ears! These guys have travelled the world and played for legends Elton John wedding , Lulu’s 60th , Ringo Starr ‘s 70th

Great place to eat with the family and very reasonable.
