95/100
Bridgetown Monroe is a cracking cocktail lounge in Hitchin, buzzing with great drinks, friendly vibes, and live entertainment for a memorable night.

  • The staff are super friendly and attentive, going the extra mile with things like birthday surprises and top-notch service.

Chilli B is a charming cafe in Hitchin with fresh, tasty grub and a welcoming atmosphere, though it's had a few dips in quality lately that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is fresh and imaginative, with standout options like their famous griddles and breakfast stacks that really hit the spot for a hearty meal.
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and helpful, making you feel right at home with their friendly service.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some recent feedback suggests the food has lost a bit of its flavour since the new owners took over, turning once-favourite dishes into something a tad bland.
  • Portions can be on the skimpy side, like with wraps that might leave you wanting more filling for the price you're paying.

Bridge Street Bistro in Hitchin is a charming little gem with fantastic food and a welcoming vibe, making it a top pick for a lovely meal out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with standout dishes like duck and sweet potato mash, halibut, and Beef Wellington that leave you wanting more.
  • The staff are incredibly attentive and hospitable, making every visit feel warm and welcoming, whether it's a family dinner or a special occasion.
Areas for Improvement
  • Details on operating hours are a bit thin on the ground, which could make it tricky to plan a visit without double-checking.
  • As it's a smaller spot, it might get quite busy at times, and the parking area is limited, so you could end up hunting for a space.

Caffe Elite in Hitchin is a charming little gem of a cafe, dishing up fantastic food and coffee with super-friendly service that makes it ideal for a relaxed daytime visit.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely top-notch – think delicious omelettes, hearty breakfasts, and the best coffee in town that keeps you coming back for more.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • It tends to close fairly early, around 4-5pm, so it's not the best choice if you're after a late-afternoon or evening hangout.
  • Being more of a cafe than a full-on pub, it might lack that lively drinks-focused scene if you're in the mood for pints and a bit of nightlife.

Club 85 in Hitchin is a gem of a live music venue with a warm, buzzing atmosphere and affordable fun, though it's navigating some tricky times ahead.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The live music scene is absolutely brilliant, with a real community vibe that makes every night feel special and welcoming.
  • It's an intimate venue that's perfect for up-close gigs, hosting a mix of local and visiting bands that always deliver a cracking atmosphere.
Areas for Improvement

  • The space might feel a tad small or cosy for bigger crowds, potentially making it a squeeze on busy nights.

Bar Azita in Hitchin is a cracking spot for Mediterranean tapas and cocktails – think tasty, authentic grub with brilliant service, though it's not flawless, making it a solid choice for a night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and authentic, with a fantastic variety of Mediterranean tapas that cater to all tastes – from meats and fish to plenty of vegetarian options.
  • Service is spot-on; the staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • A few dishes might benefit from a touch more seasoning to really bring out the flavours, as it's been mentioned in some experiences.
  • It can get quite busy, which might mean a wait for a table or not getting your first choice spot, especially on weekends.

Los Reyes Tapas in Hitchin is a delightful spot serving up genuine Spanish dishes in a charming, welcoming setting, with brilliant service that makes every visit memorable, though the smaller portions and higher costs are worth noting.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The tapas are bursting with authentic Spanish flavours that transport you straight to the heart of Spain.
  • The atmosphere is wonderfully warm and inviting, blending traditional pub charm with a cosy, rustic vibe that's perfect for a relaxed evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portions can be a bit on the small side, especially when you consider the price, like with those £14 Chipirones that don't quite fill the plate.
  • It's rather pricey overall, which might leave you feeling it's not the best value if you're watching your spending.

  • Service is spot on – friendly and efficient, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement

  • Some dishes have been described as a bit underwhelming – poorly presented or lacking in flavour, which is a shame when the rest is so good.

The Half Moon in Hitchin is a charming, award-winning pub that's all about cracking beers, a fabulous garden, and a warm welcome for everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with up to 10 real ales and craft beers that change regularly – it's a real treat for any ale lover
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, offering snacks and water for your furry friends, making it a welcoming spot for pet owners
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve hot food, just bar snacks, so if you're after a full meal, you might need to pop elsewhere beforehand
  • One cheeky review pointed out some light-hearted false advertising about the 'half moon' – it's all in good fun, but it might set up expectations that aren't quite met

The Victoria in Hitchin is a lively spot with fantastic food like roasts and pizzas, paired with real ales and a warm atmosphere, but watch out for occasional service slip-ups and pricing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday roasts are an absolute treat – one reviewer raved about how gorgeous they were, and it's clear they're a highlight for a proper pub meal.
  • They've got a cracking selection of real ales, and the staff often go out of their way to help you find one you'll love, making it feel personal and welcoming.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff members can come across as less than welcoming, which has disappointed a few folks, especially in larger groups.
  • There's a bit of confusion about whether it's more pub or restaurant – like needing a deposit to book and hassle if you're not ordering food, which might put off casual visitors.

Pros and Cons

Teller Bar in Hitchin is a cracking little tap room with a top-notch beer selection and a warm, friendly feel – ideal for a relaxed catch-up over drinks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of craft beers and European brews is absolutely spot on – with 15 lines on draught, a weekly cask special, and even guest beers from great UK breweries, it's a beer lover's paradise.
  • The atmosphere is so cosy and relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back evening with friends or even bringing your dog along, as it's wonderfully dog-friendly.
Areas for Improvement
  • One downside is that cocktails can be a bit hit or miss; someone mentioned a £10 seasonal sour that fell short on expectations, with no ice or garnish, which is a shame for the price.
  • Food options are pretty limited to just bar snacks and the occasional food truck, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere.

The Groundworks is a charming brunch spot in Hitchin, serving up cracking food and coffee with a welcoming vibe, though it does get packed out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with seasonal menus full of unique twists on classics like smashed avocado and eggs benedict – it's all cooked to perfection and presented beautifully.
  • They serve fantastic coffee from Allpress, which is fair trade and top quality, making it a great spot for a proper brew.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get really busy, so you might end up waiting or struggling to find a seat, especially during peak times.
  • Service isn't always spot on – there have been times when staff seemed a bit distracted, which can slow things down.

The Angels Share is a delightful live music bar in Hitchin, boasting a stellar whisky collection and a welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for a chilled evening with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The whisky selection is absolutely top-notch, with some real hidden gems that any enthusiast would love – it's like a treasure trove for a good dram!
  • The live music scene is brilliant; they support local acts and create such a warm, buzzing atmosphere that makes every visit feel special.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are a bit on the late side, starting around 8 PM, which might not work for everyone if you're looking for an earlier pint.
  • It seems a tad quiet lately with no fresh reviews in the past few months, so it could be hit or miss depending on when you pop by.

Coopers Arms is a real gem in Hitchin – a welcoming pub with bags of character, cracking food, and a friendly buzz that makes it ideal for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • Friendly and welcoming staff who provide top-notch service, always ready with a smile and helpful advice – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
Areas for Improvement
  • The kitchen closes a bit early, especially on Sundays at 7pm, so if you're after a late bite, you might need to plan ahead or stick to drinks only.
  • With its popularity, it can get quite busy at peak times, which might mean a wait for a table or that cosy spot by the fire.

Hermitage Rd is a charming Hitchin gem with cracking food and a welcoming vibe, though it's worth noting the drinks and portions could use a bit of tweaking.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think delicious seasonal dishes, innovative menus with local ingredients, and standout starters like kimchi bhajis and tempura prawns that really hit the mark.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely, with that rustic charm in a historic ballroom, making it a brilliant spot for a relaxed coffee catch-up, a hearty brunch, or even a special dinner with friends.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some drinks can be a bit pricey and not quite up to scratch, which might leave you feeling a tad disappointed after a great meal.
  • Portion sizes have reportedly shrunk while prices have crept up, so it might not feel as good value as it used to for the full experience.

The Orange Tree in Hitchin is a cracking little pub that's all about good vibes, tasty grub, and a welcoming atmosphere – it's one of those places you'd happily pop into for a pint and a chat with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming – think warm lighting, a cosy vibe, and a secret garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying a pint outdoors.
  • The food is spot on, with hearty British pub classics like chicken burgers, nachos, and delicious desserts such as Biscoff cheesecake; plus, they've got a great selection of locally brewed beers and world lagers.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been occasional slip-ups with service, like one instance where a group felt rushed out, which could put a dampener on things if you're hoping for a leisurely evening.
  • Opening times might not suit everyone, as the kitchen closes relatively early, around 9pm most days, so it's best for daytime or early evening visits rather than late-night gatherings.

Premier Inn in Hitchin is a solid, no-fuss choice for a comfortable stay with friendly vibes and a prime spot in town, though it does have a few rough edges like dodgy WiFi and the odd maintenance issue.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location is spot on, right in the heart of Hitchin town centre, making it a breeze to explore the area or hop on a train to London.
  • The beds are super comfy and the rooms are kept spotlessly clean, which always makes for a great night's kip.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some rooms can feel a bit stuffy or damp, especially after a shower, which might not be ideal if you're after fresh air.
  • The WiFi is painfully slow, even with the upgraded version, so it's not the best for streaming or working on the go.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to make you feel at home, like Maddie or Madalena who get rave reviews for their personal touch.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit off the beaten track, so you might need to drive or plan your journey, as it's not the easiest spot to pop into spontaneously.
  • Only open five days a week with fairly early closing times around 8 or 9 PM, which could limit your options if you're after a late-night pint or a weekend escape.

The Rose & Crown is a welcoming local gem in Hitchin, offering affordable drinks and a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home, with regulars joining in on the warm welcomes.
  • Drinks are a steal – think £3 a pint, which is brilliant value for a casual night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can seem a bit inconsistent from what's listed, so it's wise to double-check before planning a visit.
  • There's not much buzz about food options, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to look elsewhere and just pop in for the drinks.

Cinnabar in Hitchin is a welcoming cocktail bar with a friendly buzz and great vibes for a good time, though it's best to steer clear of the brunch if you're after bang for your buck.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, going out of their way to make you feel welcome and creating unforgettable experiences, like sorting out a table for a special event.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for celebrations or casual catch-ups, with a lively vibe that makes for a memorable night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • The bottomless brunch seems a bit of a letdown for some, with complaints about it being overpriced and the drinks lacking a proper kick.
  • A few folks mentioned the food for certain offerings, like pizzas, coming across as tasteless or underwhelming, which is a shame given the other positives.

The Three Moorhens is a welcoming country pub in Hitchin that's spot on for a relaxed catch-up with mates, offering good food and a friendly buzz, though it's not without the odd hiccup.
Pros and Cons

  • The food is consistently tasty and hits the spot, with options like gourmet burgers and specials that make for a proper pub meal.
  • Service is top-notch, especially from friendly staff like Brandon who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and looked after.
Areas for Improvement

Angels is a welcoming pub in Hitchin that's spot on for family outings and casual gatherings, boasting a solid vibe and food, though it's not without a few rough edges.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a brilliant spot for families, with a fun soft play area that keeps the little ones entertained while you relax.
  • The food hits the mark with traditional British classics like Sunday roasts and fresh pizzas, paired with a great selection of local ales and wines.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss, like overcooked chips or dry burgers, which might leave you a bit disappointed.
  • The place could do with a deeper clean in spots, as a few visitors have noted it doesn't always feel as fresh as it could.

Anglian Country Inns is a warm and welcoming pub with top-notch food and a friendly team, though its early closing times might cramp your plans for a proper evening out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The heritage buildings and understated class really give it that cosy, traditional pub feel that's perfect for a relaxing visit.
  • The food is spot on – think really good meals and a well-priced wine list that makes it easy to enjoy without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are a bit limited, typically from 9 AM to 5 PM and only five days a week, so it might not suit late-night outings.
  • With not many recent reviews, it feels like the place hasn't been buzzing as much lately, which could mean missing out on the latest vibes.

Areas for Improvement

Areas for Improvement

The Bear & the Bubble is a fresh-faced pub in Hitchin that's claimed by its owner and open daily, but with no reviews to go on, it's one to explore with an open mind.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cosy pub in the heart of Hitchin, open seven days a week, which makes it dead convenient for a pint after work or on the weekend.
  • The owner has claimed and is managing the business, suggesting they're putting in the effort to keep things running smoothly.
Areas for Improvement
  • There are no reviews or ratings yet, so it's a bit of an unknown quantity – could be brilliant or needs some time to settle in.
  • No website listed means you might have to pop in or give them a ring to get the full scoop, which isn't ideal in this digital age.
