Best restaurants near me in St. Albans, United Kingdom

Lovely as always albeit the Christmas menu felt somewhat overpriced. They got our starter wrong but were very quick to replace the dish with the correct one. Very good service overall and high quality food.

Brought back group to craft and cleaver for a meal and drinks. 1st the drinks... the rum I had was a generous measure and the best part unlike other nearby establishments was not watered down in any way. The beers we tried tasted nice and we enjoyed all our drinks a lot. The meal.... 1 word... meatylicious. We ordered 4x sharing platters which we were banging (although next time will swap chicken out for more sausage....) and a side for each of us. The amount of food was more than enough to satisfy even the greediest of carnivores and was enjoyed by all of us. Highly recommended for anyone who loves eating many animals with deep flavours and lovely sauces.

Tom was our server and he was outstanding. Friendly, patient, helpful, informative, engaging but not over powering. We took up the recommendation of the special of chicken in white wine sauce with apple and chestnuts and shared a portion of country vegetables and chips. It was absolutely delicious and arrived very quickly. The portion sizes were ideal and everything arrived hot and well cooked. We were seated upstairs as it was a more relaxed and cosy area with deep green walls and lots of interesting pictures. We decided to have dessert and I can highly recommend the cheesecake. Tom even delivered a complimentary scoop of ice cream as we were celebrating, so very thoughtful. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Always a warm and friendly welcome. Great selection of fine wines, and a good ambience. A great place to spend the evening or as a prelude to an evening out.

Great night. Food excellent, as were the staff. Will happily go again.
