Chieftain — Restaurant in Welwyn Hatfield

As my local pub, and, as per Google Analytics, with over 145 visits since 2017, I can vouch for this pub. I bring friends and family eveytime they visit, and I go everytime my partner visits too. It seems that the place is favoured by families. The staff consistently go above and beyond to be helpful and friendly, now knows me by name, which is lovely, and management outdone themselves with the new decor. Beautiful fabrics and creative and fun pictures and paintings. 4 large screens for those who want to follow sport/news. I love the new variety of chairs too. i also find that the lighting is now spot on *was dark in places previously) which give a lovely glow to the place. The ladies bathroom has also been redecorated with fun wallpaper and imagery. The food has been consistently good and affordable. A good selection of pub choices, nicely prepared, highlight on our favourites with the chicken burger, chicken tikka the trays of snacks, very practical (and delicious) when in groups or playing darts. Other dishes have also been great and the fish and chips served to the table next to us last weekend looked amazing. The garden area has also been refurbished and the solid cover has already been appreciated in the summer and will be this winter too. Additional tables and chairs means that more peolple can enjoy the outside area. Drinks wise, I love the newly added selection of cocktails and the tequila sunrise goes down a treat (although would recommend you do get a ice crusher for certain cocktails). My boyfriend, who's a beer fan said that the lager is top quality, however, progress could be made on the Guinness. (He's Irish, so hard to please, but he still orders it lol). There is also regular entertainment, such as quiz nights, karaoke and music. Personally. I avoid those evenings as the sound is very loud and i prefer the quieter evenings (im getting old), but they are extremely popular considering the crowd there, and many appreciate these and the atmosphere is one of happy and fun times. I've been wanting to write this review for a while, and I'm glad I finally done it. See you soon guys, thanks for the good times. Carry on the...

My dining experience at Chieftain in Welwyn Garden City was truly a memorable one. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cozy yet modern interior, with its beautiful blend of rustic and contemporary elements, set the perfect scene for a delectable dining experience.

The staff were incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that my every need was met with a smile. The well-curated menu offered a diverse range of tantalizing dishes, reflecting the culinary prowess of the talented chefs. With a beautiful presentation and a flair for combining unique flavors, each dish was a delightful surprise.

For starters, I opted for the 'Crispy Chicken Wings', a fantastic balance of succulence and crunchiness. The wings were cooked to perfection, with a mouthwatering blend of spices that left a lingering sensation on my taste buds.

The main course was a true comfort food classic. I chose the 'Beef Lasagne', which exceeded my expectations. The layers of pasta were tender and infused with a rich, savory meat sauce that was packed with flavor. The dish was topped with a generous amount of gooey, melted cheese, adding a delightful richness to each bite.

To finish off the evening, I indulged in the 'Biscoff Waffle Sundae'. This dessert was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The warm, fluffy waffles were drizzled with a decadent Biscoff sauce and topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The combination of textures and flavours in this dessert was an absolute treat for my taste buds.

The drink selection at Chieftain was also impressive, with a wide array of wines, beers, and cocktails to choose from. I opted for a glass of their house red, which was a lovely accompaniment to my meal.

In conclusion, Chieftain in Welwyn Garden City is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking a top-notch dining experience. The combination of impeccable service, a warm ambiance, and skill fully crafted dishes make this establishment truly deserving of a five-star rating.

Booked a table, on arrival table was still in use, but they will going shortly, ordered drinks and eventually said which table we're on. Went to bar approximately ten minutes later and ordered food, nothing was mentioned about how long the wait would be, time ticked by and after an hour waiting went and asked how much longer the wait would be, was told they're just plating it up, another ten minutes it arrived after one hour twenty minutes of waiting. On looking at what two of us recieved, neither thought it was worth it, one was bangers and mash the other was chilli,both served up in what looked like cereal bowls, perhaps it would have been better putting corn flakes in them rather than what was in them, might have got the food a lot quicker, doubt it.,Then there's the price for a large glass of wine, totally outrageous, you could have bought a desent bottle in the supermarket for that price. Won't be returning any time soon, with prices like that and waiting for food for over an hour, think it'll be...
