This was my first experience at a Lussmanns restaurant and Lussmanns Hertford was a lovely experience. The manager was able to kindly reseat us, as I wanted to sit further into the restaurant. The food was delicious. I had the Cornish cod and market vegetables and apple crumble with a rather nice dessert wine to finish. Our waiter was very professional and provided a great service. I will definitely be back, there are so many things on the menu I would love to try.

Good value roast dinner. One small issue - they advertise unlimited roast potatoes, Yorkshires and gravy. We asked 3 times for extra gravy as the meal was quite dry. The gravy did not come and there was no explanation or apology. Otherwise, it was all good.
