A lovely cosy setting- shame that I had such an awful experience there!…read more I telephoned the pub ahead of time to enquire about whether it was possible to prepare a dish without cheese because I was a vegan. I was informed that this was not a problem so I went to the restaurant with my family, expecting a tasty meal. When we ordered the food, we asked for the dish to be made without cheese and was told that this was fine. When the food arrived, it looked as though it contained cheese so I politely asked the server to double-check. The server returned promptly and informed me that the dish did not contain cheese. After a few minutes, the server returned and told me that they could not be sure that the dish did not contain cheese and that I should prod the food in order to find out. I found that the dish seemed to contain cheese and was very disappointed. The server went away and spoke to the chef and then returned to explain that the topping of cheese was removed but the dish still contained cheese (it had been bought in not prepared by the chef). I asked for an alternative meal and was provided with a plate of steamed vegetables! Not impressed- do not go here if you have special dietary requirements!

Bar 12 is a small pub located on the end of a row of shops opposite the Galleria in Hatfield…read more Bar 12 can be very busy on Friday/Saturday nights. Sometimes they charge quite hefty entrance fees which can seem unreasonable. The Beer is generally kept OK, but you will only find stock Lagers. Prices are fairly high and you are charged 50p if you want to use a card to pay for drinks. The Bar could benefit from a Pool table or quiz machine. All in all not a bad place and it is normally clean and the bar staff are friendly, but the location and atmosphere is lacking.
