Growing up this was my "local". I ate there a few years ago and it was pretty decent pub food…read more Against my better judgment when my cousin suggested eating here with the family (because it is close) I agreed and so 5 of us arrived for dinner. First thing you note is that ALL the character of the place has been removed by replacing original pub sign etc has been replaced with generic, plain white lettering on a maroon backdrop plastic looking signs. Second they seem to have changed it from a pub (translation for my US buddies - bar) to a very ordinary restaurant. The food was DREADFUL. Normally I would have rammed it down the waitresses throat but with family around I swallowed it (my anger not the food). I ordered bangers and mash - Surely no-one can make a dry nasty English banger?! Oh these guys can - and the nasty luke warm gravy crap? And the sausages were basically burnt so much that I thought my teeth would crack when I TRIED to eat one. My uncle barely touched his chicken dish it was so bad - my Dad (the human vacuum) ate his fish and chips but it didn't look good. The girls meals were totally not memorable in any good way. Never again.

But apart from that I love this place. The food is yummy. The service is good. It is a cosy restaurant and the outdoor pub garden is lovely on a warm day. The landlady Jane is fantastic and makes you feel very welcome. Children are very welcome in here and my little boy loves it. They don't do a childrens menu but the portions are so big that normally my son would just share with me. They also have a big disabled bathroom with babychanging. I think from all eaty places in Letchworth this is the one you should visit as it is a truely lovely place. Just make sure to book if you need a babyseat.

It fancies itself as a gastro-pub but like a couple of others that experienced on this trip we were somewhat disappointed with the food, the menu etc somewhat pretentious, they try too hard and end up with no stellar result to validate the term gastropub in my opinion. That said - I will be back for drinks on my next visit to the UK

The Fox is an up market restaurant/pub set in the beautiful village of Willian, near Hitchin. Their…read morefood is absolutely amazing, and the service is great to. 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. The only down side to their menu is the fact that they tend to only have one vegetarian option, so I don't think it's the best place to eat at for vegetarians.

Some of the meat is to rspca standard, which while not free range is the first step to hopefully going organic at a later date. It has a large car park and a nice outdoor area for summer with plenty of picnic tables. The staff are very friendly and helpful and if they don't know something you ask, they will go off and find out. This is a nice typical country pub.

Nice location, have seen the pub countless times (grew up 2 miles away) but had never visited…read morebefore. Must have been an off day I guess! The pub has been around for over 300 years and it wouldn't have lasted 3 years if every experience was as bad as ours. We both love cider, ordered two different ciders - both pretty tasteless, flat and disappointing - we each left 1/2 of our drinks as we walked out of the pub. The food was awful. My wife ordered the lamb chop special and was very clear that the lamb should be well done or at least medium well - NOT pink. Well the two fatty lamb chops arrived sitting on a pile of mashed potatoes. My wife ate part (the least fatty part) of the first which she said was tasteless and cut into the second from which blood poured out (so much for the well done!). After requesting it to be taken from the check (as usual in the UK you pay in advance) we were refunded the ten pounds. I made the mistake of ordering the lamb madras curry which comprised some tasteless chunks of lamb sitting in a reddish sauce which (to me at least) had little similarity to any Indian meal I have ever experienced before. The rice was OK. I left most of it (together with 1/2 of our ciders - my wife's bloody plate had been removed by then) as we left hungry. Again a historic watering hole in Baldock - hopefully the food is usually better than what we experienced today - but we will not be back.

Letchworth was founded by Ebenezer Howard in 1906, and being a Quaker he forbade alcohol and pubs etc within the city limits. That is not common for Brits - who love their beers and gin and tonics!! So the growth of pubs and licensed premises in the last decade or two has been "refreshing"!! Both Mrs G and I loved this place! On day 1 Mrs G went for a burger which she liked very much indeed, while I opted for the full English breakfast which was excellent! We both had juices (no booze!!) while on day 2 we both took the buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Rare in England and delicious. Service was outstanding, warm and friendly. The whole ambience was wonderful - families, friends, mums and babies groups. Bright, airy, spacious and in the warm weather a beautiful indoor/outdoor experience. Yes of course we will be back next time that we are in Letchworth again!!

I will always recommend Cultivo Lounge for a casual meal or drinks, any time of day. Thanks Lizzy and Josh. See you again next time.
