Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with this place. I believe it's had a revamp as when I came here a couple of years ago, I remember it being very different. It used to be more of a wholesome greasy spoon, and now I feel it's trying to be a bit too posh. The drinks are more expensive than other places like this. The food was a reasonable price but more than I would pay for the quality if I'm honest. I had a prawn jacket potato, and unfortunately it was incredibly underwhelming. The potato itself was cooked very well, but the filling was miserable. A few prawns on the side with an overpowering thick sauce. I had to leave half of the potato because there was only filling to go with half of it (so not a lot) and the rest dry. The salad was a generous portion, but was ruined with the awful vinaigrette that was on it.
The kids meal (fish fingers, chips and beans) was a good size and was fairly good quality. My partner had a burger, it was medioka.
Although, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was nice, as well...
Read moreLiving in North London has made visiting Hitchin a convenient and enjoyable weekend trip, especially on market days. Every few weeks, we make the journey and like to begin the day with a pit stop at a coffee shop before exploring the market.
We've tried several artisanal, organic, and modern coffee shops in the area but, to be honest, we haven't found anything that quite hits the spot. The combination of sourdough, sour coffee, and high prices seems to be a common theme. Sometimes, you just can't beat a good old-fashioned fry-up and a decent cup of coffee. As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
We've had breakfast at the same spot a few times now. It's nothing too fancy, but the service is quick, the portions are filling, and the prices are reasonable. We usually order either the Mediterranean or full English breakfast, and they always come out...
Read moreMy partner and I were holidaying here from Australia. We walked passed with this restaurant with a good signage outside the food they were serving. So we dine it for our daily breakfast whilst in Hitchin. To our surprise, the food was terrible "Absouletely Terrible". The liver was burned- overcooked like a rubber, the bubble and squeak was gluggy, and the fresh avocado was not even ripe at all....it was hard as cantaloupe. I was being told after it was not ready. Seriously, are you gonna serve something that is not ready to your customer when you knew it beforehand! Terrible!
Please do not come and dine to this restaurant at all. Do not be deceived with their signage displayed outside since it was a completely different from the meal we had.
What a waste of money, time and experience! Get your so called...
