The Stanborough in Welwyn Hatfield

Went tonight for father's day meal.. been here few times over the years and tonight was the worst, we won't go back.Very disappointed understand perfectly that they were very busy, but father's day.. my daughter treated her dad..we waited ages for our food....service was poor but staff very helpful and polite...our food was given to the table next to us, taken away and then brought back out a few minutes later.The toilets weren't clean.

Food was fine (evening meal) and also plentiful at breakfast despite being very busy. Staff too were all really good BUT the thing reason for the 3 star review is entirely down to the shabby state of the toilets. Seats cracked and generally dirty feeling. The carpets were also stained badly.

Had a decent meal, I had the lasagna my wife had the salmon salad, both pretty good, not great but decent value. Doom Bar the only ale on and that was ok. Good, friendly service.

One of the worst food I have tried in a pub in Welwyn… cocktails were equally bad. Never again

We eat here quite regularly and can say the food and service has improved so much. Mel & John are fantastic. Always on point and so polite and helpful.The food is much better. The roast dinners are lush!

We had gone there for lunch & chose their lunchtime menu. My wife had Lasagna which came with garlic bread & I had the gammon. We also ordered a side of onion rings. The garlic bread was served with the base totally burnt. This was brought to the attention if the waiter who arranged a replacement. When that came the base was partially burnt but most of the bread as edible. We did not make a further complaint because my wife was getting close to finishing her meal. The onion rings were very much overdone. I knew I should have complained at the time & had them changed but this would also have interrupted our meal. I did complain after especially when we were over charged for them. The triple cooked chips were not cooked enough either. Then there was the issue of only having one person taking orders and serving albeit there was occasional help from one other person. I have to say this is the first time I have experienced this poor quality & lack of staff. I really hope I do not get similar issues again. I will visit again because I'm hoping this is a 'one off'.

Superb, I’ve been going to this Beefeater for over 20 years now. Two of the staff have been there for the same length of time and they are still as pleasant and friendly as the first time I walked in as a student! Great location, good parking and reliable food.

I have to say this beefeater is the best I've ever been to.Service is great, starters were out promptly, of good quality, really delicious and well presented. so well done to the kitchen team for a doing such tremendously great job under the pressure they were given it was bank holiday Monday. Mains were brilliant and desert was excellent. special thankyou to Rebecca who was amazing. I have worked in hospitality for over 23 years and never come across such a lovely manager. Well done guys see you soon.

Good food, friendly efficient service and value for money

The staff were lovely as was the food but the restaurant was a bit grubby, the toilets smelt of urine which really is disappointing. Otherwise lovely! Had a fabulous roast dinner and would come back again
