Host Grill Restaurant Bishop’s Stortford in Bishops Stortford

Ah, let me tell you about Host Grill – it's this lovely restaurant and bar tucked into the heart of Bishop’s Stortford, right in that striking Corn Exchange building. I've got to say, it's one of those places that really hits the mark for a good night out or a family Sunday lunch. The food is a real highlight; we're talking delicious modern European dishes with fresh, seasonal twists, like those massive Yorkshire puddings with tender beef or vibrant vegan options that keep things interesting. And don't get me started on the cocktails – they're expertly made with fresh fruits, paired perfectly with their extensive wine list. The terrace is just brilliant for soaking up the sun or enjoying a special event, and from the reviews, it sounds like the team bends over backwards to make sure everything runs smoothly, whether it's a wedding reception or a casual tapas session. On the flip side, it can be a bit on the quiet side sometimes, which might not thrill you if you're after a lively buzz, and the entrance is a little hidden, so you might walk past it at first. Plus, the opening times look a tad muddled, which could catch you out. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for anyone in the area looking for reliable, tasty grub and friendly service – I'd definitely pop in if you're nearby, just maybe check the hours first to avoid any surprises!
