The best restaurants serving British food in 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.

The Wheathampstead Fryer is a great village chippy servings a great selection of freshly cooked take away meals. Although they take orders by phone a website with the menu and the ability to order online would be useful.

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

Lovely cafe in Southdown, Harpenden. Sunny side of the road with outside seating.

Surprisingly good food in a small cafe. Self-made burgers. Thank you!

Positives: we chose the 7 course tasting menu. The food was excellent, very well presented and full of great and exciting flavours. Brilliantly done by the cook. To be improved: we chose the wine pairing menu. The wines were nice although none stood out in any particular way. The reds were served way too warm (well above 20 degrees) and when mentioned to the head waiter he completely ignored and dismissed the feedback and no action was taken. Service was nice and friendly but not as attentive as you would expect at a restaurant that plays at this level. They served the courses quickly explaining what was being served, but for the rest we were completely left to look after ourselves. The food is a 5 score but the rest only deserves a 3 score hence an overall score of 4 although borderline to 3.

The beef casserole was superb that was enjoyed in the large and open sunny garden off a very quiet country lane. Food was accompanied by good beer served by an amusing and chatty pub owner. Thoroughly recommended!

Every month, with a group of friends, we have supper here. There's an excellent menu, always cooked perfectly, served without undue delay, by a lovely team. Mine host Ross usually greets all guests as old friends, making our visits most enjoyable. The bar has an excellent range of beers and wines with non alcoholic drinks for those driving. I used their excellent facilities to entertain 40 friends at my recent birthday party.

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.

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.

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

Lovely place to get freshly made sandwiches. The bacon and sausage sandwiches are a favourite with the family. Along with the selection of smoothies and milkshakes.
