About This Pub
Ah, Sizzling in Stevenage – it's one of those spots that feels like a proper neighbourhood gem when things click, but it has its off days that might leave you scratching your head. On the bright side, the team there are an absolute delight; you'll find folks who are all smiles and eager to make your visit memorable, whether it's remembering how you like your drink or just chatting away like old friends. The atmosphere is spot on for a casual get-together, with that classic pub feel that makes you want to settle in for the evening. But, and it's a big but, the service can drag on forever, leaving you staring at your watch while your stomach grumbles, and the food might not live up to the hype – think dishes that arrive lukewarm or not quite as ordered, which takes the edge off the fun. Still, if you're up for a bit of a gamble and fancy giving it a go, it's worth popping by for the good bits, just keep in mind it might not be perfect every time. All in all, it's a mixed bag, but that's pubs for you – the charm's in the surprises!

The food came about 50 minutes after we ordered. The food could have needed a microwave once it arrived. I ordered the falafel and Spinach burger with fries but it came with tatter tots? I was so hungry and done that I gave up and ate the tatter tots but damn!
Get it together!
It wasn't even that busy on Christmas Eve Eve. The burger didn't even come with BBQ sauce as it said it would. Never coming here again.
Such a nice pub, great vibes, staff always smiling! Tamsin always goes above and beyond for guests to make their experience a great one!
Nice place for a good meal. Josh was our server, very proficient and friendly. He's a great asset for the team.
I was served by Chloe who was brilliant and remembered I don’t like ice in my drink.
Food was delicious tonight!
First impressions were bad I should of turned round and left. Cigarette butt's all over the outside area and steps.
Waited forever for the food which was like warm.
