The Meating Room Berkhamsted — Restaurant in Dacorum

I have been to this restaurant twice before and ordered takeaway. May I say now that food has always been very good.

However, I must warn potential customers that coronavirus precisions are simply not being observed at this restaurant. We booked a table for a Friday at 7. No tables / booths were blocked off to ensure guests were kept apart. The restaurant was tightly packed and we did not feel safe at all, so departed for deserted verandah outside and ate in the cold, but at least felt safer than remaining indoors. Another couple up and left altogether after arriving moments earlier, remarking to us that they didn't feel safe.

Waiters did wear masks, but no visors or other face coverings were worn by kitchen staff preparing orders.

No trace details were taken from us and no QR code available to scan. If a transmission of the virus were to take place here (and it could have easily occurred on the night we went), there would be no way for authorities to trace it.

On a separate note, both burgers on the bill we received was higher than the website menu. When challenged on this the waiter could not provide an explanation, which was unimpressive at best and left us wondering if management had told staff to see what could be gotten away with. We paid the advertised price and left.

Despite the excellent peanut butter milkshake we will not be returning - coronavirus transmission is very serious at the moment as rates are rising everywhere. The Meating Room disappointed and left us very concerned. I would not recommend this place as neither myself or my...

A Mixed Experience at The Meating Room, Berkhamsted

I recently visited The Meating Room in Berkhamsted with a friend on a Monday evening around 7pm. We sat outside, and while it was fairly quiet—as expected for a Monday—there wasn’t much of an atmosphere.

We ordered two cola floats, but unfortunately, the drinks were forgotten and only brought to the table after we reminded the waiter. When they did arrive, they were tasty, though the delay was noticeable.

For food, we ordered the St Peter with Stilton and the King Harry, both requested medium rare, along with two sides of wings—one BBQ and one chipotle. Disappointingly, the burgers were closer to medium-well than medium-rare, and the wings were overcooked, with tough meat rather than the tender, juicy texture you'd hope for.

On a positive note, the waiter was polite and friendly throughout the evening. However, overall, the food didn’t meet expectations on this visit.

To be clear, this isn’t intended as a harsh critique—I’ve visited before and had a better experience and in this instance recommended it to the friend I went with before we attended. That said, with so many restaurants offering similar menus at comparable price points, consistency is key. Experiences like this could cause customers to look elsewhere if...

If you're a Burger Lover and lean more towards Burger King than McDonald's you have to try this place!

I feel compelled to write a review because after all the hype I tried my first 'Five Guys' the other day... It was underwhelming because all I can think about is your St Peter's with Cheddar and those sweet, sweeeeeet Rosemary fries.

You've ruined every other burger place because nothing compares!

During lockdown you were the one treat we could look forward to in some really bleak months. Thank you for providing really tasty flame grilled burgers cooked exactly how we like it (Medium-Rare all day long!), Piping hot perfectly cooked rosemary fries and then to really close my arteries and die happy...... It was the Peanut butter Milkshake for me.

The sheer amount of food was just too much with that milkshake but you have no complaints here because the PB Milkshake to finish was more like a super smoooooooth Ice-cream to finish the whole meal.

Ps. Thanks for keeping us updated on all your offers via facebook yet not spamming my inbox like some other companies.

A 5-Star service all round from me.

Thank You and I wish you so much...
