"We often visit Nottutts Garden Centre, near St Albans and take advantage of the members free coffee, it’s an excellent loyalty scheme, being rewarded with good free coffee’s, my kind of reward. We often would have breakfast at weekends, their breakfast at 2 for £6 is excellent value, it's good food, cooked to order and served quickly. However, whether staff changes or costs cutting, the portions got smaller, but still good vale, but the meals began to suffer, they weren’t up to their normal standards so we said to staff hoping they would take it as a positive comment rather than a complaint. We haven’t eaten there for a while and then noticed on our last visit there was a new restaurant manager and decided to try again their breakfast, it was so good and we missed it. We were sadly disappointed, the food selection was good, the quality good, the price two breakfasts for £6 still excellent value, the downfall was it was lukewarm. Others felt the same. Perhaps it’s us, there’s a lot of people still use the restaurant, and seem happy, decide for yourselves, read other reviews. Sadly we won’t be visiting for food again in the future, at least meals. The restaurant is disabled friendly and plenty of room to move round if you need walking aids or use wheelchairs, with a disabled toilet near the tills, the normal toilets are on the first floor. Still recommend the coffee and cakes though."

"So I went here yesterday for lunch with work colleagues … I was sooo impressed, the lady who I assumed to be the manager with black hair was so welcoming and friendly, the pub was spotlessly clean and the food I felt was such good...value for money. There was another lady behind the bar who was also so friendly…. I came out thrilled to have found this great pub right round the corner from work with such great staff. I went back with different work colleagues today for lunch, raving about how impressed I was yesterday…. Only today I had a completely different experience. I sat at the table I had reserved on line and ordered for my friends and then realised actually I’d like to move tables… the pub was so quiet only about other tables. I asked a lady I later found out was called Mollie if I could move tables, she just looked at me as if I’d asked her for a kidney! She was rude unhelpfu. I understand we all have bad days but her attitude was terrible. I explained I had been in yesterday and the dark haired lady was so nice I asked who she was… mollie said the DM like I’m supposed to know what that means, I asked what that was and she said deputy manager, I asked who she was and she said she was the manager !! I suggest you promote the DM immediately! We had our lunch and again the food was great… Mollie did go round the back of the bar and moaned about me to the bar maid and I could hear her saying I’m ready to walk out … so unprofessional… I could hear her, the pub was practically empty! We finished our lunch with no further incident… what a shame …. I really felt like I’d found a little gem to use for work, which I still will, only not on the days Mollie is the manager!!"

"I ordered 6 large pizzas on the phone yesterday for today (13 March 2019) at 12:30pm for a baby shower party at my work. (My work colleagues lunches were between 12-1 1-2, so everyone on there12-1 lunch didn’t have there lunch but had to eat at their desks) The Pizzas were 45 mins late. They didn’t ring me to say they were going to be late because I rang them cos I was worried, there excuse was “we are busy” I said but I ordered yesterday you had plenty of notice, he said my food will arrive at 12:45pm but it didn’t arrive until 1:10pm. Even though I said twice on the phone what company we are and the address, the driver went into boots asking strangers if this was number 38, then he went outside Barclays Bank and then he decided to call my mobile. I made a complaint on the phone and they gave us free garlic bread. I opened the pizza up to find they got the order wrong, they gave us 2 pepperoni pizzas when I ordered 1 chicken and 1 pepperoni on the phone. I checked this order 4 times on the phone when I ordered it yesterday. My colleague called up Pizza Hut and they said they would send us 2 large chicken pizza and a drink for free. When the chicken pizza arrived we only received 1 chicken pizza not two. And when my colleague complainted on the phone when our orginal order didn’t turn up she said she wants to make a formal complaint and the person on the phone said we don’t take complaints. I still had to pay for the 6 pizza which turned up 45 mins late and the driver was standing there checking the money. I am beyond annoyed it’s the first time we ordered with them and it will be the last time. The chicken pizza looked awful it looked like it was beaten up and I refused to eat it. Please don’t waste your money time with this particular Pizza Hut in St Albans."
