We've eaten here often and have never had a 'bad' meal. The menu is varied, the staff even if busy are always happy to help. The other diners seem relaxed and at ease. Despite the fact it is a chain, it appears to be very locally tuned into Harpenden. Happy to recommend for tasty food.

We went here for my 14 yr olds b'day. There was lots of confusion as to what time that age group could visit. Were told one thing on the phone when enquiring and then something totally different when booking. It was a Monday so all the food is half price. It was average really. Lots of frozen and pre-prepared stuff... More

In probably the best position in Harpenden. Large and accommodating and open almost all hours. From a simple cuppa to a main meal, it's all here. And a thank you to a loyal member of staff Sophie who is always there with her big smile.

Sunday morning breakfast.. how can you go so wrong.. service was diabolical .. the food was just deplorable .. there was no connection at all between waitressing staff and the kitchen ... our poor waitress tried her best, however she was just constantly apologising... certainly we all agreed.. a location to be avoided at all costs for the foreseeable future...

If you want to have a cheap breakfast this is the place to go. Just make sure you don't use the toilets. They stank and obviously hasn't been cleaned from the night before.

We have eaten here before, a long time ago, but return on Monday lunchtime and were happy to see a 50% off food notice for Mondays! The sign at the entrance to greet you says to find a table and you will be served - however, I didn't read it and thought it was like a Little Chef, saying wait... More

Me and my boyfriend went here on a Monday night. The waiter brought us the wrong food, we ordered beef burgers and he brought us steak sandwiches?! So we obviously complained and asked for the right order. The female manager said ''What do you want us to do with the steak sandwiches? Throw them away?? We can't do that! Either... More
