The Wicked Lady in Luton

Oh, let me tell you about The Wicked Lady – it's this cosy spot in St Albans that's become a bit of a favourite for a relaxed meal or drink. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food really steals the show; think hearty Sunday lunches with perfectly cooked cod and chips, or that gammon and egg that had everyone raving, and the desserts are just sublime – I mean, the chocolate brownie sounds like something you'd dream about. The team there are absolute stars, always on hand with a warm welcome and efficient service that makes you feel looked after without any fuss. Plus, with that garden area, it's brilliant for a sunny afternoon pint or outdoor dining. On the downside, it's not without its flaws; a few mentions of dishes not quite living up to expectations, like a lukewarm fondue or overdone scallops, and it does lean more towards fancy gastro vibes rather than a down-to-earth local pub, which might not suit if you're after something more traditional. All in all, with such a solid rating, I'd say it's well worth a visit for a good night out, just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a cracking time.
