Very very nice. I was surprised to see a pub serving food so busy during the week…read more Clearly the refurbishment they did a while ago had a positive effect. Personally this was my first time here and I went with some friends if mine. The food was very good and served in a reasonable time, all dishes in one go meaning that attention has been paid from the chef. I had a lamb burger with potato wedges and coleslaw in a mango sauce. The meat was medium cooked as requested and the coleslaw very nice. My wife had a steak and ale pie. The stew was very tender and the sauce not bitter at all (Which us something that it happens very often). Can't comment on my friend dishes as they went for an ordinary sausages and scampi both with fries. However portions were generous enough. The pub is an old grade listed place and our was very nice to stay in. Chimney were off, but I'm sure that they can add a nice touch and make the environment very pleasant. Price wise, it's on the average. I'll will definitely go back again.

Thankfully it's got a massive car-park so parking is never a problem. It's a popular pub and you can see why. They serve some decent pub fare and charge very reasonable prices. It's the kind of place you take the family for a Sunday roast rather than the pub you'd go to for a night out with your mates - more a restaurant/pub rather than a pub that sells bar food. They've always got some meal-deal on (two eat for under a tenner etc) so it represents particularly good value in the area. Great for families with children too - recommended!

We went to the Three Moorhens today for lunch and ended up walking out in disgust. It was the…read morehottest day of the year so far and very busy, but it became quickly apparent that the place was horrendously understaffed. The bar was predictably crowded and the one barmaid serving was irritable as visibly harassed. It took twenty minutes before to get served; notwithstanding the fact that she was under pressure, she clearly couldn't grasp the concept of prioritizing the customers who had been waiting the longest. Some people were left standing there for twenty minutes or more, whilst others would just walk up to the bar and got served instantly. All the while she was loudly complaining about the job and life in general. I finally got the drinks and found a table in the garden. The table itself was in a disgusting state, stacked with empties and covered with bits of food. There was only one girl serving, and she was frantically running from table to table trying to keep up with the demand. We went back to the bar, ordered the food, returned to the table and waited. And waited. After around thirty minutes, my wife went to the bar to enquire when the food might arrive. She wasn't rude or aggressive, or even complaining. She simply wanted to know when the food was likely to arrive. She was told that it wouldn't be long, and so returned to the table. What happened next was unbelievable. The girl who had been serving stormed over to the table and quite aggressively began complaining that the staff were working as hard as they could. She was visibly angry and repeated that we're doing the best we can several times. I tried to explain that we were simply enquiring about when the food would arrive but she completely ignored me and stormed off. At this point I went and found the manager and demanded my money back. I was simply not prepared to accept this disgusting level of service, and God only knows what the quality of the food would have been like in a place as badly managed as this. I told him that I thought the behaviour of his staff was rude and unprofessional. His only defense was that they were very busy that day, but he refunded our money and told us he'd have a word with the staff member involved. This Three Moorhens is located in a prime position in Hitchin and has a large garden area, making it a very attractive proposition for families wanting a pub meal. Not surprisingly, it seems always busy as a result. Don't be fooled however; the level of customer service is disgusting, the employees are rude and incompetent and the place seems to have a policy of employing the bare minimum of staff to keep the place functioning. I can't comment on the food itself because we never got to eating there, but given the level of staff morale and competence, I'm not sure I'd want to consume anything made in their kitchen! Needless to say we won't be visiting again.

The Coopers Arms pub is tucked away at the top of Tilehouse street in Hitchin and despite being…read morequite central would be really easy to miss it if you didn't know about it. There is some parking but the car park is pretty small and fills up quickly. The pub itself is quite oldey-worldy and you get the impression it's been there for a few centuries. It's a very traditional pub in feel - range of decent beers, wines and ciders. They do some decent pub grub too - nothing fancy but not overpriced. There's always a bit of a buzz about the place, particularly in the evenings - but a mix of clientelle - young and old, locals and out of towners alike. Definitely one of the better pubs in town and work seeking out.

This is my favourite place to eat! It's quite pricey, but very worth it for a special occasion. They specialise in fish dishes, but their non-fish dishes are fab too.

A good selection of larger and wines also on offer. The food here is wonderful, all made and cooked on site by their resident chiefs and all produce is sourced locally. The prices are very reasonably and on a Wednesday and Saturday they have a selection of home made pies priced at £5.75 which and are brimming with fillings, it also comes with a potato side of your choice and fresh veg, I normally struggle to finish it. The puddings are something to die for, highly recommend the cheesecake. As for the staff, I have not found another pub that has staff this accommodating and friendly, nothing is to much trouble for them, if something you want is not on the menu, they will try to accommodate your needs. The pub is an old coaching house it has a large bar area split by a fantastic open fire that is lit during the colder periods giving it that real country pub atmosphere. It has some big round tables in this area that can seat 6-8 people, ideal for having a chat and a drink with friends, it also has some soft sofas for lounging around on. They have a defined restaurant area, which is set to the side and tastefully decorated. I believe they also do B&B so an ideal location to stay if you like your country walks. All in all this is a lovely pub, give it a try if you are in the area.

If you're looking for a good pub, it doesn't get much better than this…read more Lovingly called simply "The Axe" by locals, this pub is in a different league to most other rural pubs. I'll explain why and try to be concise. The cuisine is exceptional. There's a good selection of quality drinks. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming -- the sort of place where complete strangers tend to strike-up conversation. The location is perfect, overlooking the Village Green, with a big beer garden behind, and a vast playing field behind that. It's a lovely village, nestled in the gently-undulating farming landscape of rural north-east Herts -- no wonder Braughing was recently awarded the prestigious "Village of the Year" accolade. The pub's menu always includes the best of local produce, from locally-reared beef to local pork sausages, alongside popular country pub dishes. (Braughing village is famous for, among other things, the delicious local sausages, and this is a good place to sample them.) Did I mention the pies? A different pie every day it seems, and you won't find better pies than these. I don't make a statement like that lightly.
