The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in North Hertfordshire East of England

Stopped for lunch here whilst browsing the other shops. Ham & cheese panini & a full English breakfast. Really cheap ingredients, no flavour to the bacon or sausages & served with bread & butter instead of toast. Disappointing, especially with a decent butcher a few doors down, seen better in a greasy spoon for half the price, won't be returning.

Having read some reviews now, I can see that the rude way we were treated yesterday by a female member of staff is the norm at Costa Hitchin. I arrived with my young son and baby girl. We started to order and I was told abruptly that they were closing soon. I continued ordering and was given the drinks. We sat down. A polite man with a Christmas hat on came round gently saying they were closing. I said okay. I hadn’t realised that the till closing would also be the store closing, as many coffee shops stagger this by half an hour or so, and so I had started breastfeeding my daughter. Within 1 minute of the gentleman telling me they were closing, the woman said, “How long are you going to be? We are closing.” I replied that I’d only just been told and she snapped, “I did tell you. Now you’ve started feeding the baby. So how long are you going to be? If it’s 5 minutes maybe I can give you 5 minutes.” Her manner was aggressive. I immediately stopped feeding (and had to leave with a screaming baby) and said, “fine, I’ll leave right now, but we won’t be returning.” The woman carried on ‘telling me off’ (this was how it felt with her aggressive tone) as I left. I realise that the mistake was mine in sitting down to feed my baby, but I just feel the tone and argumentative nature was rude and unnecessary. We definitely will not go back - there are a lot of coffee shops in Hitchin and we will choose others every time in future. I was after a coffee and a chat with my small son while feeding his sister and instead I was told off and kicked out!!

The advertised wi - fi didn't exist Very noisy room needs double glazing , over priced , desperately needs redecorating, I will definitely not return

First time having breakfast here. Very good espresso and friendly service in a pleasant cafe area. Very disappointing scrambled egg on toast. Once slice of cold toast (which made it chewy) with a decidedly rubbery, solid lump of scrambled egg. It was lukewarm and was not freshly made; I suspect it had been done in the microwave and left to congeal. Not sure what eggs were used, but soft, warm and yellowy it was not! It was quite orangey and had no taste of eggs and a rubbery texture. Not a £5 meal; I could definitely have got something much tastier for less in town...Not a cafe to be recommended for food.

Firstly on a positive note. I had the mixed grill and my wife had the chicken strips. Both very nice and reasonably priced. However the issue came with the deserts. We both had apple Crumble. The crumble was not crumbly. But microwaved to an inch of its life. Extremely hope. Extremely sweet. But NOT value for money. I did complain to a staff member about the issue. But she said there was nothing they could do and that’s how they come. The custard was cold and Lumpy. I did say that I wouldn’t be having them again and that she said fair enough. There was no offer for compensation or to have something different. Both of us left our deserts. I would rather had given the £11.00 spent to a charity than pay the pub for two awful puddings. Such a shame. It could have been so much better. We live and learn. Be warned.

Disappointed Filthy tables had wipe with anti bac staff not interested Ended up taking lunch to eat outside Why isn't it cleaned can tell it is never daily cleaned let alone deep clean Bins for cups etc overflowing notice in mornings staff no using gloves to make bacon rolls etc taking money with same hands yuk However It's very well priced nice coffee as all greggs to take away but sitting in there no thx would be so easy to keep.it clean too

Turned up for lunch at 1:30pm...only to be told they're not taking food orders for another 20 minutes or so! Won't be lunchtime then. Poor.
