The best restaurants serving British food in Roebuck 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.

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!

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.

Such a shame Harvester is closing, but I’m very glad the team will be back when the place reopens as Miller & Carter. And what a brilliant team it is! Everyone welcomes us warmly and goes to great lengths to ensure we have an excellent visit. The food is always great and the service is spot on - not in your face but there’s always someone there when you need them. Really looking forward to being able to go back in May.
