Harvester Ancient Briton St Albans in Saint Albans

You know, when I think about the Harvester Ancient Briton in St Albans, it just warms my heart how it's become such a go-to for a relaxed meal with loved ones. The food is spot on; that rotisserie chicken is juicy and full of flavour, paired with an unlimited salad bar that's fresh as can be – it's the kind of thing that leaves you satisfied without breaking the bank. The staff really shine too; they're attentive and make you feel right at home, like chatting with old mates while you're tucking in. It's brilliantly family-oriented, with options for even the fussiest eaters, and the location's a bonus, right near some lovely spots for a wander afterwards. On the flip side, it's a chain, so it doesn't have that quirky, one-of-a-kind charm some pubs offer, and it can get a bit hectic when it's busy, which might not suit if you're after a quiet pint. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a good-value meal – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, but keep in mind it shines brightest for casual family days out rather than something more intimate.
