The best restaurants in Verulam St Albans East of England

First time visiting this large restaurant in St. Albans. The vegetable tempura for starters lacked flavour and was over battered. My red curry was tasty and good portion size. Beware the drunken noodles, my friend said they were very hot indeed. Quite a few diners for a Sunday lunchtime. Parking in multi storey car park less than 5 minutes walk away. Staff pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Fairly expensive.

We went on last Friday Lunch and served by a young Lady during a very busy Lunch post Christmas, everyone is a bit tired she really looked after us and made a special effort to put our Hollumi Chips and Whitebait in take way tubs. They were both really tasty. The bar man made me lovely Bloody Mary. I wish everyone there a great New Year! Nick.

Always love a visit to the Six Bells. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious.

The cheesy chips were fantastic and Ollie was a friendly and efficient staff member. Would definitely come back again.

Been here a few times and it is a very nice setting - though a bit hit and miss in terms of how busy it is, so perhaps have a backup plan in mind if you are unlucky and it is one of their busy times. A good selection of fresh cakes and hot food. Coffee is generous in quantity but I would echo some of the other reviewers in suggesting it could be stronger - however I accept this is a matter of personal taste so perhaps more a comment about me than this venue :) Staff are very diligent, efficient, pleasant and polite. As a footnote: I don't know whether the cafe is responsible for the toilets - apologies to them if they are not - but the facilites have been woeful on our last two visits. Their condition is the fault of those using them but whoever is responsible for them needs to evaluate their use and adjust their cleaning schedules to accomodate!!!!!!! My review score is for the cafe (minus the toilets).

We went here with the kids thinking it would be a child friendly place. We asked for a high chair and were given a begrudging yes with an eye roll. There were 2 people working on a busy Saturday night. When we arrived it was 5.45 and we ordered within 15 mins. It took more than 1 hour 15 for the food to arrive by which point it was already almost bedtime and it was beyond the point we could enjoy the meal. Food was average to poor. I’m surprised a place with such bad service and not particularly good food is still in business where there is so much competition. Terrible

Great as always, great staff great coffee and good value for money. Skinny latte and frapuchino fir my daughters, both very much enjoyed.

I visited Crussh café at Westminster Lodge Leisure Center when the center was only partially open due to covid restrictions. Inside the café was clean with plenty of sofas and coffee tables, as well as normal tables and chairs; outside there is an extensive veranda with views over the park. As the leisure center was only partially open the café was not busy; my cappuccino was expertly made (nice consistently and correct temperature). As Crussh aims to serve healthy food and drink, my favorite snacks were not available (kit-kat or blue ribbon biscuit) and a lot of snacks available were high protein, but there were bags of popcorn!

I get sandwiches and coffee here every week and I’m frequently amazed at how rude some of the staff are. Even when I am super polite the lack of basic customer service is notable. That said, there is at least one nice staff member and I am always relieved when she is on duty.
