Molen's - St Albans

I visited this restaurant today for lunch with my family. We tried the special breakfast and it was amazing! The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. I will definitely be returning.

Sat outside for coffee and cake with friend. Had asked for cake and 2 plates (cake portions are large). The waiter came out with the cake on one plate and when I (very nicely) told him that I'd asked for two plates he tutted, turned on his heel and went straight back inside without a smile or apology. Politeness costs nothing and this should be a given in a place where you are serving the public. Quite expensive too.

The staff, particularly the waitresses, provide unfriendly and miserable service. The food is also not impressive. I only visit occasionally as a motorcycle courier, and overall, the reviews are definitely declining.

You get what you pay for here. The food is fresh, tasty and ample. I’ve been for lunch on multiple occasions and always been happy. The service is friendly and efficient too. One of my favourite quick lunch spots.

Other sandwiches are so so. The salt beef is the worst I have ever tasted. I will go up there to complain!
