The Coopers Inn in Stevenage

Ah, The Coopers Inn – it's one of those pubs that really tries to make you feel part of the community in Stevenage, with its warm welcomes and commitment to fresh, tasty food at fair prices. I've got to say, the sizzling skillets and burgers are proper winners, and from what I've seen in the reviews, the staff often go above and beyond to sort out any issues, like one chap who turned a potentially dodgy evening around. It's a great spot for a relaxed catch-up with friends or a family outing, especially with their community efforts and free function space. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – there have been times when service has been a bit slow, leaving you twiddling your thumbs, or when the food hasn't quite hit the mark, like an overcooked burger that didn't live up to expectations. And while it's generally good value, you might find it pricier than the budget chains, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're watching the pennies. Overall, it's a solid choice for a night out, with more highs than lows based on the feedback, and I'd reckon it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a lovely time.
