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

Usually a good breakfast at Spoons, this one which was the biggest looked like it had been dropped and the contents picked up and thrown on the plate. It took a while, I suspect it sat waiting to be brought out as it was luke warm. Bacon cold and chewy, sausages cheap and tasteless eggs greasy and over cooked. It was worth what I paid but would prefer to pay a bit more for quality and better service.

Habiendo conducido hasta pasado el campamento un número de veces que me pareció que era tiempo para comprobarlo esta pintoresca casa público grande. El pub tiene un montón de mesas al aire libre; dice amplio aparcamiento y los lugareños es un buen pub. Visitamos un viernes por la noche y me pareció el lugar cerrado; se cree que el campamento había sido recientemente cerrada y está destinado a ser demolida y sustituida con viviendas. Una gran pérdida para la comunidad a la que sirve.

Had a great lunch here Monday 5/5. Four of us. We had spaghetti with prawns, pasta with chicken and mushrooms, steak and a pizza. Every dish was perfect. The service was professional, friendly and efficient. Despite being very busy, everything was presented fresh and hot WELL DONE. Bill Howard

Needs a visit from food standard agency. This place is unhygienic and dirty. The staff will not clean the tables people have to do it themselves which isn’t ideal because the tables will need to be wiped clean and disinfected before anybody sits down to eat, the cutlery is always dirty with food particles, the staff hygiene is the worse, people making drinks will be drinking their own drinks and wiping their mouth while making drinks for customers, the other one was making bread and butter and she dropped the knife, picked it up and carried on, one of them were all over the pastries while playing with their trousers for whatever reason. The chef stuck his head in the gap between front and back kitchen and put a plate of hot food that looked like breakfast itched his head and fixed the eggs it’s horrible I wouldn’t want to be the person eating that. One had a runny nose and although used a tissue he didn’t wash his hands in between making drinks. Sadly I saw all of this after I ordered my food/drink so I left as when I tried to cancel my order it was a problem, rude staff the list goes on…avoid.

Good prices and friendly shopkeepers

First time coming here . Had chicken sandwich which was I would say 7/10 bun seemed sickly and the chicken was small, Doner kebab ? 2/10 Due to not cut up enough , So long and very widely cut ? Shown in pictures ? Chips 2/10 seemed cold and dried up left from night before . Also salad is not too good either hardly nothing at all ?
