The Peacock - St Albans

Unfortunately went in winter and very cold inside! Everyone sitting with their coats on and management didn't light the lovely fire which would have made a huge difference. Most of food options not available though burgers weren't bad.

The stew was absolutely horrible. 3 of us had it : Steak was only OK. Large portions

Terrible is the only way to describe this restaurant. We really want it to work, as they made an effort with the decor. It's our third meal and last at this establishment until they get a new chef. I ordered steak, medium rare. It was well done. My wife ordered lamb medium, it was ****. The blood ran into the cous-cous, which was totally bland. Not a pretty sight. We were prepared to give constructive criticism, but no one asked about our food experience. They were slow in collecting our finished plates. Their mobile phones seemed more important than the guests. There are too many good restaurants and pubs in St.Albans to ever need to go back. It's sad but they need to up their game to another level, or they will be finished.

Run by nice people, very accommodating with the kids, lovely decor

Was there for 3 minutes and was asked 3 times by try bouncer when we were going to order drinks. Very uncomfortable vibe had to leave.
