The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in St Albans East of England

i had a great time when we hired a room for only £50, for my mums 60th. the staff were lovely and welcoming and couldn’t have been more attentive. the hot drinks were so refreshing and the wide variety of cakes made it hard to decide between something so yummy to something even yummier! thank you for the great experience and we will be back soon !

The best coffee in town & sausage rolls to die for… Very reasonably priced & friendly helpful staff Extremely happy customer..

They have the BEST paninis in St Albans! They also do a delicious vegan panini option. My sons say they have amazing milkshakes and my husband adores their sausage and bacon baps. Set in a fabulous park for the kids (also very dog-friendly) - suitable for all the family. Go visit!

29/9/2023 Absolutely brilliant food, selection, freshness and the staff are wonderful . We have been before and this is one of the best places to eat healthy and tasty in St Albans. Their recent introduction of schnitzels is a great idea; one of the best I have ever had….fresh, tasty and crispy.

We found this coffee shop thanks to the sign in the alley way . We came in through the side gate to a lovely garden space. Then headed inside where there are a couple of tables tucked away. We ordered 4 drinks and sweet and savory baked goods from what was available on display. The savoury scone was delicious and the peanut butter cookie cup was amazing. Great for a catch up over coffee.

This lovely reading room cafe was host to a Burns Night Poetry event which was my first time in this quaint little space. It was so inviting. Anna was there to greet customers and make them feel like being welcomed into a friend's home for coffee. There were all the hot drinks on offer and flavoured brownies too. The poetry readings were beautiful in this small space; everyone felt welcomed and comfortable reading and sharing their works for an hour together here. I will definitely return to a future event or just pop in while I'm in St. Albans. It's a hidden gem in the heart of town; great for working, writing, reading, playing a game of chess or catching up with friends over a hot cup of tea. Definitely not to be missed!

Lovely staff, speciality coffee, and an array of treats (of which some are gluten free, vegan, or vegetarian) make this a welcome café in St Albans! There isn't much indoor seating, but a patio makes for a great place for a catchup with friends, family, or loved ones (including yourself). My recommendation? If it's a hot day, try their cold brew and flapjacks. They're fantastic, and you'll thank me later.

Lovely staff, great coffee, cakes and ice cream in fab surroundings. A great stop-off on a walk around Heartwood.

Our party of nine walkers enjoyed a great lunch,Sandwiches came with a lovely salad.The staff were vey welcoming with great service, We can see why this pub is rated number one.

Very good meal. Really enjoyable and food served hot. Super staff….. Shame about two female customers , aged around 70. Very loud - unbelievably - and one took a video call from her daughter and grandson, who were on holiday. She then had a VERY loud conversation in which the whole restaurant could hear. Do these people not realise we really don’t care about their lives or are interested in them . We don’t force them to listen to our conversations. Very rude and no self awareness.

Always lovely service and friendly staff 😀. Great food . A good pub to stay at with great staff . Would recommend to colleagues and friends .

Good for real ale-drinkers. Pleasant country location. 😊

Such a lovely cafe to visit in an ideal setting. Great choices and the smoothies are amazing!

Fab brunch spot and sitting outside is a real treat

As my Mum, Stepdad and little brother are visiting from up north this weekend we decided to pop to the Red Cow yesterday after they arrived at my house.I honestly wish we hadn’t bothered. We had three children in total with us. One of which is autistic and the other deaf so both can at times be loud but they weren’t overly noisy at all yesterday. Some customers were glaring at us anytime the children spoke and another customer kept tutting anytime a dog barked or our children made a noise. Customers were sprawled out across the bar without moving aside to let my partner order. One staff member with black hair came over to our table snatched the cutlery off and remarked “this table is reserved hence why the cutlery is out”. There was no reserved sign and a lot of pubs/restaurants have cutlery laid out on tables anyway. We just sat there because the children gravitated to it and didn’t think that deeply into it. My son was getting fed up and we weren’t happy with the atmosphere so we packed up to leave. My son who is 2 was crying in his buggy on the way out of the door. The same staff member who snatched the cutlery off our table was standing by the door, my Mum said thank you to her and the staff member rolled her eyes at my son who was crying. I passed her at the door after my mum and I too said thank you, only to be ignored by her. I’m sorry but is this a pub or a library? We’re local and although we don’t visit the pub that often, when we have been there in the past the team have been amazing. Particularly the manager Zoe, who I believe is currently on leave-AND IT SHOWS!! Zoe is amazing with kids and has always been really helpful and kind to our children, also to my little brother when he is down to visit. What a genius way to make people feel so uncomfortable and awkward that they want to leave and not spend more money. It’s an actual joke. Get some manners!
