Best restaurants near me in Harpenden, United Kingdom

My husband and I have been searching for a restaurant for Sunday lunch for some now we’ve found it. And what a wonderful experience! There is nothing that we could fault at Lussmanns,Harpenden. Every aspect of our experience there was perfect. I had not thought when I booked to alert the staff that my husband is partially disabled, in that he finds it hard work to walk any significant difference. This doesn’t usually matter as he can walk about 50 m with support from me. We have a wheelchair in the car and and we would use it as appropriate. Today our progress from car to restaurant, a very small distance, was hampered by the fact that the ground was very slippery. Anyway, we made it! And what a joy eating at Lussmans was. The service was impeccable, the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was out of this world delicious, the ambience was quiet despite the restaurant being busy……what’s not to like? As we were leaving we told the lovely man who helped Ken into his wheelchair that we would award them 125 out of 100 and that we would most certainly be back. Indeed we have now decided that we will eat there every Sunday lunchtime if possible. Very well done, Lussmanns Harpenden

Excellent service. Food was tasty - I did however have a couple of minor criticisms, which I shared with the waiter. Nothing to spoil it overall. Mash, salads, bisque main were delicious. Overall would definitely recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Queen’s Head Pub in Harpenden, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a charming blend of traditional pub decor and modern touches. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. The fish and chips were particularly noteworthy – crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just perfect! The pub also boasts a great selection of drinks, including some excellent local ales and a well-curated wine list. The cozy seating areas and the lovely outdoor garden made it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal with friends. Overall, The Queen’s Head Pub exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Harpenden.

Good table with plenty of room for 2. Our waitress was lovely although the supervisor was less friendly. Food was great , service almost too efficient except drinks service which was a bit slow. Good atmosphere for a rainy Sunday evening

I only discovered this restaurant the night before we visited on Friday 22 November. The weather was very cold but the online images and reviews were very warm! Our overall experience was well worth the 35 mile round trip! From start to finish everything was exceptional! Even the background music was to our taste and at a perfect level. We will definitely be returning and thoroughly recommend this local gem.
