The best restaurants in North Hertfordshire East of England

I really wanted a crusty roll. There used to be a truly superb independent genuine bakery on this site in How Wood but it is now a Simmons. This was my first visit here. And last. I was told there were no crusty rolls left but the server suggested a ciabatta instead, pointing to them on the shelf (price tag 85p). I chose to have it with some day long cooked sausages under the heated counter glass. £4.55. Four pounds and fifty five pence for charred sausage in an 85p roll. I queried the incredible price hike above the roll cost. "Well you had a filling Sir". Quite. I've certainly been stuffed!

Gem of a place! I had a hankering for noodles after a morning shopping and a local cafe recommended Pho. The waiter couldn’t have been more helpful, explaining my options. My soup arrived incredibly quickly and was full of fresh ingredients, including extra vegetables as I’d requested. I was impressed he checked I was ok with a beef broth since I ordered tofu. Great view over the market square. Very happy!

Had a takeaway delivery tonight. Arrived within the delivery time (50 mins) . Dishes seem to be getting smaller but still the same price. Lamb a bit tough compared to other local restaurants but meal was still tasty.

I would so like to give a great review as the owner was lovely but it’s just not quite there. I’m sure they will get this right in the future. We weren’t offered a starter. We had tasty steaks on the rock but they had to be cut and shared between two. We were given a couple of small sides (6 or so chips and a few Mediterranean veg and coleslaw). The portions all round were small. There was no choice of dessert, just one thing on offer. We had to sit around a long time between courses and weren’t offered drink top ups (2.5 hours for 2 courses). The bill was not broken down and we were just given a total amount. We then had to ask for the deposits to be removed. Overpriced unfortunately.

Friendly service and the toasties are nice. Mike shakes aren’t worth the money / aren’t quite mixed right but the mocha was delicious. Worth a try

Ubicado en una tienda de bicicletas en este lugar debería ser más popular que sirve un buen café. Puedes energizarnos aquí como parte de un viaje en curso de ciclo o simplemente relajarse y ver algunos de los videos de ciclismo. Podría hacer con una mayor variedad de tartas y bocadillos para quienes no ciclismo.

Always a cracking kebab! That’s why I keep coming back! Chilli sauce is delish!

Always had really good food here, and the staff are super helpful. They do take away and dine in. Really nice food and great staff,, never had a bad meal always brilliant

This is just a local great chippy, the foods always great and fresh. Love it.

Fabulous farm and gift shop shop and cafe. Sometimes it's busy but the food is home made and made to order with a wide variety of dishes for lunch and breakfast as well as lots of cake options.

This is our local pub so this is very personal and painful as we want it to succeed. The food was at one point very good but it is now very poor, they have obviously reduced the quality of the ingredients and the training of the staff that prepare / serve the food. We had 2 partially cooked / raw salmon fillets and a poor quality burger, (I have tasted better out of a van in the market) Strangely the price of the food has not increased, the same cannot be said of the alcohol. Please fix this, otherwise I will have to walk to town or the three Horseshoes in Norton.

My order isn’t here and I’m still sitting in the cold outside waiting for it to arrive

The best one fork meal the lotus house special rice ,xxxxx

Amazing service as always! great food and very welcoming staff would highly recommend

Breakfast was good but the old girl at the till was rude and unhelpful
