The Crooked Chimney in Welwyn Hatfield

Great place! We took my mother in law for dinner. We sat in the bar, so ordered directly from there but the staff was so friendly and attentive. We had a pie, pork belly, and kedgeree cakes. All were delicious. I especially got a chuckle out of the name of the Prosecco: “bubble and squeak”. A wonderful atmosphere, great food and great service all made for a wonderful evening.

Amazing place, able to get a booking online, turned up early and was still sat and served in five minutes. Owen waited on us, was spot on with everything, amazing range of non alcoholic beverages and brilliant food. Literally, myself and the kids couldn't fault a thing. Loved the character of the building and would highly recommend to anyone.Would like to say thank you to the whole team for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back. 💜

We had the triple Sunday roast. Good amount of meat. Roast veg a little over done. But on the whole good value. Good range of beers and soft drinks. Good service. Dog friendly area. Would go again.

We love the Crooked Chimney. Staff are really polite and friendly. It's great that we can sit and chill in the bar area or garden and order food from the bar or staff. It's also great to sit in the more formal areas and have waiting service.I love their great drink selection...especially the gins!

Had a nice lunch. Unfortunately anything fish was 'off menu' that day. Tried their equivalent to veggie burger. It was ok although found burger a little soft & tacky in texture. Service & attention exceptional.

Really nice country pub, we didn't have food but I have before and it was lovely. Good selection of drinks, friendly staff, a selection of comfy sofa-like chairs as well as dining chairs and smaller rooms to find a quiet area. Watch out for the low ceilings if you're tall, but this adds to the character! Nice open fires too.

had a really nice lunch here and can highly recommend the burger, it's a step above the usual pub burger.

We have been here quite a few times for pizzas.Today we decided to try one of their Sunday roasts.We ordered adult and children’s roast dinners.We were very underwhelmed by the adult roasts when they were served. We ordered two of the trio roasts at £15.95 per meal.Each meal had three roast potatoes.....yes, just three each! The children’s portion at half the price also had three. We were given one small slice of turkey, half a slice of beef and the tiniest piece of pork belly I’ve ever been served. Literally a mouthful of pork and beef and they were gone.Our ten year old even said “there isn’t much there is there”We were served the vegetables in a separate bowl to learn this was to share...one piece of broccoli to share, one parsnip each and the rest was made up of courgette, red onions and peppers. Again very underwhelming!I did ask for more potatoes and more vegetables because I felt for the price it was not value for money at all and I knew it would not fill us up. Even with the extras, unfortunately we didn’t leave full and satisfied with the meal we had purchased.The Yorkshire puddings were quite cold too.The quality of food is good, there just needs to be more of it for the prices they charge. In my opinion £16 for a roast dinner needs to be fulfilling. I’ve added a photograph and I think most would agree that there isn’t a lot of food there. This is before I asked for extra and before I knew we were expected to share the vegetables.Due to the disappointing experience we did not purchase desserts and went elsewhere instead. Such a shame really as the staff are generally great and we like the pub. We just won’t be returning anytime soon.

I had been on an errand with a Friend and his wife and we had passed the Crooked Chimney and had jokingly commentted, that it would have been a nice stop for a Sunday Lunch if we hadn't been passed Lunchtime already! On the way back from our successful endeavours we agreed that we should stop for a reward drink, and to take in the perceived picturesque ambiance, so we turned around and had our drink and took in, said Perceived ambiance. So it turned out that it was, as picturesque on the inside with a friendly service to match the warm atmosphere and interiors. So we enjoyed our drink, I enjoyed my portion of chunky chips and will certainly return for the Sunday Lunch!

Came to the Crooked Chimney today to enjoy a nice meal in the sun with the family. Excellent food and service, we had the slow cooked pork, house burger and meat feast pizza. Highly recommended, great food and surroundings.
