Every time I come to St Albans I have to make a stop off at Pudding Stop…read more I've been here twice now and time and time again the Cakes have been delicious. Pudding stop has bench style seating, so you may have to get used to the fact that you may be sitting with strangers and possible their babies. I tend to come in the late afternoon so the ambience is rather chilled out to my liking. I've ordered the Devon Cream Tea,(£6) which they give you bottomless tea in a teapot with cup and tea strainer. The scone is soft and fluffy and so perfect, and with generous lashings of clotted cream and jam which adds to the divinity of this British classic. Carrot cake is moist and not too sweet...just right. Chocolate flourless cake was a moist sticky chocolate gooeyness which needed some single cream to compliment it, but still throughly enjoyed. The staff are attentive and friendly. Their is free wifi also they have classic movie evenings.

I came here with the family for a New Year's Day dessert. Creams Watford recently opened and its…read morehuge. It's at the top of town, so it is a trek to walk to if you are coming from the other end which we did. It has the classic purple and black décor. This Creams has a giant TV screen and also games room with a big screen on the floor, which kids and teenagers can enjoy. We all ordered Waffles, which you had to go to the till and pay first before they come and hand you your dessert. I ordered the PBJ waffle- that is peanut butter sauce with strawberry sauce drizzled on top with a choice of a side of whipped cream or ice cream. I chose ice cream. The Waffle was nice and thick. What I had a problem with was the out of balance sauces. The strawberry sauce was way too much, varying on sickley sweet. The Ice Cream although nice is very basic and did melt a little too quickly. The Waffles range between £5 to £6 My family had the Banofee Waffle and the Apple pie and custard Waffle which tasted sooooooo much better. To mark the day we went into their Photpbooth which you had a choice of a singular photo or the multi choice photo- we went with the latter. You pick your choice of background and take the photo. It said we had 4 tries to get the right shots but we ended up having two-not by choice. The print came out well and cost us £2 The staff are pleasant. Creams is in town and iam sure to revisit to try something else.

I came here for dinner with 2 colleagues on a Wednesday evening while working in the area. The…read morerestaurant is in town, around many other restaurants and shops. The place was pretty empty the night we came, and it looked pretty empty the night before as well, when we walked past after dining at another restaurant nearby. However, there is a lot of seating inside the restaurant, including what looked like an upstairs seating area, as well as some tables outside, so it's possible it gets busier on weekends. The menu had a pretty large selection of burgers, chicken dishes, hot dogs, and even steaks and salads. There was also an enticing page of desserts, including milkshakes, cheesecakes, and sundaes. The mains came with a choice of side (salad, fries, mashed potatoes) and dipping sauce (garlic mayo, barbecue sauce, among others). I got the classic burger on a brioche bun with fries and garlic mayo. The burger was topped with the Tinsel Town sauce, which was tasty. However, the brioche bun was too dry/hard for my liking. The fries were fine. One of my coworkers got the cheese dog, which was really massive. It had some tomato slices tucked in. She wound up not being able to finish it; apparently it was a bit stodgy and might have been more manageable if it had been a frankfurter or something. She also got the halloumi appetizer with sweet chili sauce, which she really enjoyed. I got a brownie sundae for dessert. It was topped with a massive amount of whipped cream, but I would have preferred for it to have had a bit more ice cream underneath. The brownie chunks were tasty, though. One of my coworkers got the Kinder Bueno milkshake and said it tasted exactly like a Kinder Bueno. Service was pretty slow, especially given there were so few customers at the time. It took the server awhile to split the check, since she couldn't seem to remember who got what and had to redo the split a few times. It probably would have been easier to just get 1 check and divide it ourselves. The restaurant card reader did not accept my American debit card (which I historically have not had issues using abroad, in places as diverse as Bangkok and Stockholm). Thankfully, there is an ATM nearby and the server was patient and apologetic about me needing to step out to get cash. Overall, a very average dinner, but good if you're craving a milkshake and some fries. My burger and dessert came out to be about £13.

My daughters and I are fans of the Giraffe chain and have always said it was a shame that the…read morenearest ones to us in Harrow were either Belsize Park or Muswell Hill. So you can imagine how delighted we were when the Tesco Watford store was re-vamped and they stripped out the Kirspy Kreme doughtnuts and cafe and in came a Giraffe Restaurant! My elder daughter booked a table for 9 there for Saturday night as it was my granddaughter's 4th birthday treat before her party the following day. We arrived to discover my daughter a bit frazzled because they hadn't noted the booking down (How on earth? Not very professional!). My son-in-law was trying to fit 3 circular tables together in order to seat the 9 of us as not enough of the rectangular tables were free for us to butt them together. The staff realised that we didn't have enough room where they had attempted to seat us (as we also had a small pram with my 3 week old granddaughter in) and asked us to move to the other end end of the restaurant. No, still not perfect. We were right by the door and we still had 3 circular tables pushed together - hardly ideal! After this rather poor start to the evening, things were a lot better. If you've never tried them, you really must try the edamame (delicious soy bean pods wok fried in soy, chilli & mirin). I have to say this is the main reason for coming to Giraffe in my humble opinion. You get 2 bowls, one with the edamame and another empty one to put the pods once you've sucked the beans from them. Could've done with some packs of the wipes for our fingers having eaten the edamame(they didn't give us these until our dessert much later!). Of course there are other nice things on the starters menu like a mixed mezze, soup, olives and some meat things (don't eat meat out so not memorable for me). Main meals consist of burgers, grills, fish, pasta and salads - a mixture of Thai, Tex-Mex and European - fusion cuisine I believe it's called! At first glance the felafel "deluxe" burger I had didn't look that big but was very filling! Only criticism was the burger bun fell apart so I ended up using my cutlery to eat it. They also have some reasonably priced cocktails/mocktails, a variety of smoothies, "softies" which are soft drinks including juices but they also do fresh lemonade with mint which is highly recommended! Desserts are nice, if you've still got room to eat one! Not particularly cheap between £3.95 and £5.95 but when you have to choose between apple and red cherry crumble; banana waffle split; baked white chocolate, mascarpone & passion fruit cheesecake or tiramisu sundae (there are others these are just the ones I was contemplating!) it's a difficult decision! We didn't actually order dessert because we had a birthday cake with candles which the waiting staff brought out and sand Happy Birthday (out of key!) to my birthday granddaughter (who actually hates people singing it!). The waiting staff were pleasant enough. Was difficult to catch their attention at times, even though the restaurant wasn't full to capacity and one drink had to be requested again because it failed to arrive along with the rest of the drinks. So a mixed review for this restaurant. I would certainly go back again even if just to have the edamame! When you consider that there were 8 adults and 1 child, 3 of us had cocktails, some soft drinks and some beer our 3 course meal cost us each £23 which is not bad value.

Roosters Piri Piri is a very central chicken takeaway shop in town…read more They sell Piri Piri chicken and classic fried and grilled chicken. They have a variety of meal deals. Your chicken can come in a bun, wrap or pitta or just on its own. I m slightly conventional and alway go for the Classic Burger meal, which includes a fillet chicken, steak chicken fillet with cheese and lettuce, which is hearty and delicious. I like their fries because it's not over cooked, you can taste the potato. They have 10% off for students and Goverment workers. It's small takeaway shop but they do have bar stool side sitting as well. Customer service is off and on. They did answer my request of me not wanting a drink, by adding fries. I'm a fan-but I do need to broden my horizons when it comes to their menu.
