"Exceptional! The Arbury has always been an amazing culinary experience.On Valentines they hosted my Mums Celebration of life. Lucy and Martin were sensitive and accommodating providing an amazing afternoon tea and pink fizz for mum’s wake. They allowed us to take over the venue, putting pictures and memories of mum around the venue. Cakes, sandwiches and scones galore which were incredible. A personalised playlist of mums favourites tunes were also played.Quite simply Lucy and Martin made a difficult day extremely special, topped off with Martin making mum’s Anzac biscuits as a surprise. I highly recommend their restaurant for a lovely meal or to host a special event."

"I went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch with a friend. Despite being fully booked when we called, they managed to squeeze us in. We arrived just after 1pm and it was quiet, but by 2pm it was getting busy. I recommend booking an early table if you want to avoid missing out. We both ordered the lamb roast, which arrived promptly and in large portions. They even gave us extra gravy without charging us, which was a nice touch. The mint sauce was deliciously thick and the food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The lamb was particularly tender and there was plenty of it. The only downside was that the food was a bit cold, possibly due to the open door to the garden area. However, I didn't mind too much since the food was still tasty. My friend had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert and I enjoyed a strong, full-bodied white coffee. All this for less than £20 per person was great value for money. The service was efficient and on point."

"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."

"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!!!"

"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."
