Practitioner — Restaurant in East Hertfordshire

It was a terrible experience. The music was so loud we couldn't hear each other or the staff bringing out the meals. It took 1 hour between meals so we decided not to have dessert and were then made to feel guilty about not taking it even though it hadn't turned up after 45 minutes. Starter tasted like vinegar which was overpowering. Main was also not good, it was overcooked and burnt in places. Didn't eat much of either meal. Wasn't asked why. Waitress scraped and stacked plates at our table leading to one of the party leaning in food that had landed on the table. People were pushing past the table and crowding round it because we were near the smoking area. People were trying to fight with us because they were having trouble getting past (customers had taken the barrier down separating the food area from the drinking areas) and the staff didn't do anything. Could not wait to leave, it was so stressful! Wouldn't recommend to anyone. After complaining about the experience we were still charged over £30 each. On top of this we had to queue with drinkers when entering the venue even though we had a booking and it...

Celebrated my Sister’s Birthday there last night and it was by far the very best experience! Absolutely EXCELLENT!!!!! Way beyond expectations and certainly way beyond the average experience of today. The staff are really polite, helpful and responsive. My Sister chose the buffet option for her party which was absolutely excellent! The best food I have ever had actually! vegetarian dishes were kept separate from the meat options and put onto a separate table. They kept their word every step of the way! A HUGE “Thank you” to Anna the waitress who offered to help me with setting up the balloon arch and decorations earlier in the day! She is super helpful and thoughtful. I had to leave before completing the decorations and Anna promised to complete them and attach it to the section entrance. When we arrived at the venue she had completed everything which I really appreciate. It could not have been achieved without her help! My Sister loved the decorations! The security are also vigilant, pleasant and helpful! I can definitely recommend this classy and upmarket pub! Thank...

I eat at The Practitioner in Hertford on a regular basis, and I must say it is truly one of the best places to eat, especially for vegans like myself. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and received exceptional service from Victoria, who seems to have an incredible knack for understanding and connecting with her customers. Victoria's knowledge of the menu and her ability to recommend dishes based on individual preferences is impressive. It's clear that she genuinely cares about providing a memorable dining experience.

As a vegan, finding restaurants that cater to my dietary preferences can sometimes be a challenge, but The Practitioner exceeded my expectations. Their chef, Shannon, creates an outstanding vegan beetroot burger that is simply exceptional.

I would wholeheartedly recommend The Practitioner to anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming restaurant that serves quality food. Whether you're a vegan or not, you'll find something delicious to satisfy...
