The Slug and Lettuce, Harpenden

Have found this place quite unappealing.... went in for a coffee with my friend and couldn't even find a table for two as it was completely over ruled by mother's with their screaming children who had pushed every table in the place together. Very unwelcoming and the staff seemed completely unobliging to do anything to encourage other customers. On other occasions the coffee has been watery and tasteless. I however haven't tried the food to comment so this might be quite enjoyable, though i'm not convinced enough by the atmosphere to bother trying.

The Old Cock Inn, Harpenden

Haven't been to The Old Cock Inn in ages, what a pleasent surprise!! My family and I had a fantastic Sunday Roast with all the trimmings and my dad sampled the mixed grill, although the portion was so large he couldn't quite finish it. It was a lovely atmosphere with 3 log fires blazing, creating a very warming atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and polite throughout, would recommend to anyone, though it was quite busy so might be best to book. I can definately recommend the Creme Brulee dessert and my dad was throughly impressed with the ale range.
