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.

A really excellent midweek lunch menu and wine-by-the-glass selection. My only problem was deciding which starter and main course to choose - I could have happily chosen them all! Very friendly and efficient service and great food too.

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

I had an amazing welcome and experience at the hotel on 30 November 2024. It was a special fine dining Christmas Dinner with music night. The staff were very welcoming with excellent customer care . The venue is situated in a calm relaxing environment with great views. Thank you for this unique opportunity and highly recommended.

Love the pub but no vegetarian mains! Had to go elsewhere for dinner.

The friendly staff suggested we taste a few craft beers before we decided.

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.

Popped in to warm up from a walk in the park. Great staff, lovely welcome and service.

Lovely little pub, full of character (and characters!). Open fire. Good range of ales, beers and wine

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).
