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

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.

The food in this place is outstanding. Impossible to choose as all options sound delicious and that they are. Great selection of drinks. Cocktails top notch, they can make you anything you wish, including something you will love even if you don’t know what you want. Service is impeccable. The staff are so friendly and attentive through out. Knowledgable of the menu and quick to answer any questions about ingredients. (One of our party was pregnant.) Lastly just to make the experience there even more lovely, is the stunning atmospheric setting of the restaurant and bar area. Beautifully decorated, creating a Christmassy and warm ambiance. Highly recommend.

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

Had my 65th birthday lunch here . There were 9 of us and I was delighted to find that we were seated in a private dining room upstairs . It was absolutely perfect . The food was very good , well cooked and good value . Everyone had a wonderful time and the staff were very friendly and effective . The restaurant is definitely a step up from say a gastro pub /bistro . But without being in the fussy fine dining end of eating out . I you have a small lunch/dinner party then having one of the private rooms makes for a delightful experience that I can heartily recommend

Not very impressed spent a long time looking and planning for a stay on the winter dinner bed and breakfast, the system lets me get all the way through to booking but because of an event I’m unable to have dinner. Really frustrating it shouldn’t have been available as an option on my selected date if this was the case.

Lovely pub. Cosy atmosphere and absolutely fantastic Sunday roast, especially the vegetarian roast which was top!

Best pub in st Albans hands down. Extremely cozy inside in winter and the best garden during summer , staff and owner are lovely. Very good prices and draught beer selection is awesome if you want beers that aren't your usual British pub selection. Great food too and the best dogs.

We wanted a casual meal and had been offered a free round of drinks as a birthday treat at The King Harry. W Ed weren’t expecting anything special but the service and food made it a really great evening. The service was attentive and informative. The food was excellent pub food. We had an enjoyable evening. Definitely recommend this venue for a casual night out

Ales are kept well, the upkeep is great, and the pizza was genuinely top notch

Went for steak night on 28th Nov 2024 pre booked a table for 6pm when we arrived it was all ready for us we all had fillet steak and it’s was delicious. Amazing selection of beers and isn’t flat like some other pubs in St Albans and the staff are very friendly and helpful and was a delightful experience. It’s my third time to this pub and we will return again soon for the burger or steak night.

We went on last Friday Lunch and served by a young Lady during a very busy Lunch post Christmas, everyone is a bit tired she really looked after us and made a special effort to put our Hollumi Chips and Whitebait in take way tubs. They were both really tasty. The bar man made me lovely Bloody Mary. I wish everyone there a great New Year! Nick.

Always love a visit to the Six Bells. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious.

Been here a few times and it is a very nice setting - though a bit hit and miss in terms of how busy it is, so perhaps have a backup plan in mind if you are unlucky and it is one of their busy times. A good selection of fresh cakes and hot food. Coffee is generous in quantity but I would echo some of the other reviewers in suggesting it could be stronger - however I accept this is a matter of personal taste so perhaps more a comment about me than this venue :) Staff are very diligent, efficient, pleasant and polite. As a footnote: I don't know whether the cafe is responsible for the toilets - apologies to them if they are not - but the facilites have been woeful on our last two visits. Their condition is the fault of those using them but whoever is responsible for them needs to evaluate their use and adjust their cleaning schedules to accomodate!!!!!!! My review score is for the cafe (minus the toilets).
