Pub • Mexican • British • Vegetarian

---

"The Kite is a charming venue in the heart of Hitchin that has been a family favourite for a number of years. We hired the Marshall room back in 2020 for my baby shower and all our guests were so impressed by the atmosphere, service and the amazing gazing table that when I started looking for a venue for our wedding reception, the Kite was at the top of our list. From the first enquiry Ben was warm, welcoming and showed a real interest in our special day compared to the corporate feel we had experienced elsewhere. Ben was so helpful and guided us through all the options, his attention to detail really helped ensure we had the perfect day. We hired the whole venue, with an intimate wedding breakfast in the Marshall with 30 guests followed by an evening reception with 100 guests in the bar/restaurant and garden area. The venue looked beautiful, the food was delicious as always, especially the grazing table which our guests loved! Everyone commented on how lovely the reception was and that is down to Ben and his team, they could not have done more to help. The service and quality here is just the best."

Piato

Greek • Vegan • Vegetarian • Gluten Free

"So a couple of weeks ago we ordered a takeaway from Piato restaurant in Baldock. 3 chicken souvlaki, 12.95 each, so 38.85 in total. One of the chicken meals was undercooked with pink/blood running through, so could not be eaten. All 3 meals came with a salad in a box and all 3 salads were brown . Andy called the manager and was very respectful and pointed out how surprised we were as we have eaten many times at Piato's and have never had a bad meal. The manager said he was sorry and he will cook the chicken longer next time and he insisted that the brown on the salad was due to the dressing that was put on the salad. He told Andy he was sorry and when we next order, he will do something for us to make amends. Today Andy called to order 3 more meals and was told we could have a 10% discount 3.80. Andy said that that offer was ridiculous as one whole meal last time was inedible, the manager would then only offer 15% 5.82. Off the order. Andy was told that they were not offering any more than that. So we cancelled the order and will never eat in Piato's again. What a joke and such a shame what poor customer service from what we thought was a quality restaurant. Check your chicken folks!!!"

Hermitage Rd Bar & Restaurant

➤ 20-21 Hermitage Road Hitchin, Hertfordshire SG5 1BT, United Kingdom

Pizza • European • Fast Food • Vegetarian

"The vegan options are honestly disappointing. It feels as though vegans are disregard with basic options which are not good value. I would love to see the next revised menu with interesting and intriguing vegan options, as many of my family and friends love the herm, but as a vegan I am not excited about any of the food available. I have given the 5 stars I feel the hermitage deserves, from the service and atmosphere, with the hope of an enticing vegan menu in the future. Update. The new vegan options are still disappointing."

Lussmanns - Hitchin

Pubs • Beer • Wine • Steak

"We came for a special occasion and were a bit disappointed that Lussmans wasn't as good as we hoped. We had to wait 30mins for our table to be ready. I appreciate it was because the previous diners hasn't left and the staff kindly gave us a glass of wine on the house to make up for it. Once seated we ordered quickly (we were hungry! but didn't end up getting our mains until 90 minutes after we arrived at the restaurant. Mine (sole was delicious but my partner's (pork belly was uninspiring and a small portion. We didn't order pudding as it was nearly 10.30pm and we couldn't face another long wait. My partner needed a snack when we got home. Nice atmosphere though."

Kazoku

"We were not prepared for the flavour journey Kazoku we're taking us on. Beautiful, simply. Divine. Magical. A journey through taste that we haven't experienced before. The plum wine, the serving of the food in intervals, the clinical knowledge the staff had of the food. We would like to personally commend the chefs for allowing us to try their food. We will be back, we would book a hotel just to visit again. Nothing more needs to be said, visit and divulge into what can only be described as brilliant. Congratulations, phenomenal. Thank you."
