Megan's At The Old Bell Restaurant (st Albans)

Went for an impromptu birthday late lunch and really enjoyed the food. The decor is lovely, we were sat in a little booth with fairy lights which was cute. Loved the options for cheese fondue and we went for the spicy one which was tasty, the bread that came with it was delicious. For mains we both had the lamb ‘posh kebab’ - so many amazing flavours and definitely looking forward to having it again next time! Baklava dessert was a nice way to finish, perfect size for sharing between 2 for just a light little sweet at the end.

This restaurant is a perfect place to bring your entire family! We were particularly impressed with the exceptionally friendly service. The modern Turkish breakfast, complete with a fresh selection of delightful cakes, was thoroughly enjoyable 🥰. I want to give a special thanks to Patricia, whose friendly and professional demeanor brought smiles to our faces. Highly recommended!

Went for a quick late lunch on Saturday and was very impressed, the surroundings and decor were lovely and well designed, the service was pleasant and fast without being rushed from when we entered. The food was very nice, well seasoned and generous portions. My only small issue was that there were some small bones in the open chicken kebab even after checking with the waitress who told us that there wouldn't be, this was a bit disappointing but it wouldn't put me off returning.

It's a beautiful location, with a chilled vibe. The server was really helpful. We had the Turkish brunch feast and we chose to have halloumi option. It was very filling for 2 people we struggled. The cheese fondue was to die for it was definitely my favourite out of them all. Definitely good value for money. I also had a hot chocolate with oat milk and I was surprised how good it was! Definitely recommend 👌🏽 I would love to come back for the bottomless brunch.

Lovely to see that they offer vegan options, well done! The waitresses got our coffee order wrong, and wasn’t sure which drink was with plant based milk. The vegan breakfast was lovely, I did request more bread slices though. My partner wasn’t happy with the transparency of the menu, he didn’t realise there was a big charge for each individual halloumi cheese and something else. Paying 55£ for a lunch meal for two was definitely over the price range you’d expect, especially for lunch. Lemonade isn’t worth it, it seems very expensive for a low quality basic lemonade. Decor indoors was very nice. All in all, I’m not planning to return to this place unfortunately.
