The best restaurants serving British food in Stevenage East of England

My wife and I had lunch here today. We had come in for breakfast before and it was excellent, so we were in the area and thought we would see what lunch was like. I ordered a Turkey, Ham and Leek pue with mash and vegetables. My wife ordered the Cottage Pie and vegetables both homemade for scratch. There was a bit of a wait for both, but that was fine as we were assured that these meals were homemade and cooked in the oven with not a microwave insight. When the food came out it was delicious and we would highly recommend it. It is a busy location and the staff are super friendly and reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning.

Ideal place for a freshly cooked fish and chips. The members of staff always served their customers with a smile.

Great Breakfast!! We found this gem in our area great value for money all the weeks we ask for are no problem for them , very friendly staff Thanks will definitely be returning

Just had our first breakfast from here, it was delicious and such good value for money! I don’t tend to do a cooked breakfast because I don’t like all the oil and grease but this was gorgeous. Fab little place, super clean and super friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Service was really attentive and polite, Food was delicious and fast to arrive. Wanted something slightly different to the menu and was no problem at all, really good value for money food was delicious and inexpensive ! Never been before but would 100% recomend little hidden gem!

The guy said to me tonight we nearly shut but still had my order. Everytime me and my partner order here we are not dissapointed! Quality high quantity good service and taste off the charts! I am not from stevenage and this is the best place for chicken wraps in my opinion.

My wife and I booked a table for six. Friends from abroad were visiting, we decided to dine at The Fisherman. The roast meals were ok they could have been warmer but unfortunately the fish and chips were the problem they were terrible, the fish was very dry and covered with thick greasy batter to make the portions look bigger not only that the chips were warm and soggy basically ‘french fries’ We didn’t want to complain at the time as we didn’t want to embarrass ourselves in front of our guests. Furthermore the overall cost was ridiculously expensive. We will not be dining here again.

Venue hire - Upstairs. We hired the venue for my daughter's 21st birthday party. The booking was easy and Luke the manager for bookings was good with communication & getting back to me & covering all our needs. We did our own music, the options were there for DJ, Cinnabar music or our own. The leads were there ready for us to use via our phone. Great sound. Atmosphere was great. The space in the room was perfect, bar and toilets and dance space. Only thing was they ran out of draught beer very quickly. It meant alotnof guests had to go down to main bat. Whilst setting up the floor was untidy but they assured us it would be clean for the evening and it was. Would definitely recommend and return for another occasion. Thank you to all the bar staff who greeted us, served and helped in any way that we needed.

We had are breakfast in here with other family members and the food was still delicious and you can have as much as you wanted to and help yourself,the drinks were freshly made, would highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food and very helpful staff Gina and Chelsea helped with the best wine to drink with my food

Absolutely love this pub. Mark and Tash made us feel so welcome along with all the bar stuff. We had a great night with full entertainment all evening. Such lovely locals and vibe throughout the pub. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful experience on Sunday. The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the exceptional service we received from Fiona. She truly went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. When she noticed us struggling at the carvery with our toddler, who was having a tantrum because he was hungry, she kindly helped carry the kids' plates back to our table. This small but thoughtful gesture made a huge difference for us. She also went out of her way to fetch us gravy when there was none left at the carvery, ensuring we had everything we needed for our meal. Fiona’s kindness and attentiveness made our visit so much smoother, and she is a credit to the team.

Fantastic night celebrating New Year’s Eve The new owners and staff worked so hard to make it a fab night Relaxed atmosphere and great fun They really did get this right They are making this back into the local pub it should be - some where to go and have fun Thank you so much for all you efforts we appreciated it so much

We go to the Old Forge every few weeks. It is the place we choose by default when we decide to eat out without planning. We like the place and the atmosphere and the children are not complaining of the food. The portions are generous and the prices are adequate. The only issue is that it can be crowded, on weekends there is a waiting queue for the roast meat. If you go on Saturday afternoon or Sunday it is better to make a reservation at least half a day in advance.

Their shakes are absolutely amazing, so tasty and good for the prices. Only let down at the minute is the timings on the door for their opening hours are wrong and so on google it may say they are open but when turn up it is locked??
