The afternoon tea was truly excellent for the very reasonable price of £15. Two scones with plenty of jam and cream, 4 finger sandwiches (egg, salmon, roast beef, cucumber) and a selection of cakes (lemon drizzle, victoria sponge, carrot). We had to take 2 scones home in a box as it was more food than we could manage. The restaurant itself is in a 1930s Streamline Moderne inspired building celebrating the iconic racing airplane ‘The Comet’. The restaurant menu also looked brilliant and we will be going back again very soon to try it out. Thank you Element!!

We had a Sunday roast which was ok. Average at best. Nothing impressive or generous about it. The beef was a bit fatty with gristle running through it. The pork was dry. The menu was quite expensive for what we had too. There was a lack of atmosphere in the place mainly because it was pretty empty for Sunday lunch. The staff were inattentive and seemed disinterested. Nicely decorated though.

The ambience is so good and relaxing.

The food was tasty and the staff was very nice and helpful - our server Romana gave me a great recommendation.

I think it is a very nice place in Hatfield. I went there for brunch. Overall, the food was okey but not amazing. I might visit one more time to see what they offer for lunch. The customer service is really good and atmosphere as well.

A most pleasant experience. Food was most excellent for this price point, freshly prepared/cooked and everything that should have been served hot was along with suitably warmed plates. The salt beef croquettes were a revelation! Polite staff, comfortable seating in pleasant surroundings, nice and light restaurant area with tasteful deco themed fixtures and fittings. We will most certainly be returning.

Only booked for the 10% off and didn't get applied. Had to ask. Food quality very poor.

Whilst the decor looked Art Deco and attractive, the attention to detail was lacking somewhat. The place looked like it hadn't been cleaned for weeks, as there was thick layers of dust on the windowcils, and many of the tables had dirt on them (not from previous customers). We were the only ones in the place (which is surprising for a Saturday evening), so the staff had plenty of time to clean up. The food was ok, but not restaurant quality, and was vastly overpriced for what it was. The sauces came in little packets that you'd find at a fast food place rather than a restaurant. We had similar meals at a cafe the following day, and they were both £5 cheaper and comparable in quality. There wasn't much choice in the way of alcohol free drinks either. £8.50 for a mocktail which tasted like it had come out of a carton is absolutely ludicrous. I've been in bars in London that charge less for a mocktail. Overall very disappointed for a restaurant. Gave 2 stars as the waiter who served us was ok. Would definitely not recommend.

Food over priced for what it was and the restaurant was very dirty.

We had afternoon tea, was not worth £15, no salad or crisps or even a bit of garnish on the side, 2 finger sandwiches each, 2 tiny scones and 3 tiny cakes to spilt between 2 people. No offer of top up on drinks and the beef was extremely undercooked. If it weren't for the £10 welcome voucher we wouldn't have been happy paying £15 for a few tiny mouthfuls but since we only payed £5 after the welcome voucher, what we actually had was probably worth £5
Whilst the restaurant was really nice with great food and service, I received a £60.00 parking fine in a disabled parking space. I didn't notice that you had to register your car at the bar as I was helping my disabled mother, nor was I informed. What a shame, I won't be going back again. Really poor service

It’s a lovely restaurant. The food was always delicious. We had breakfast everyday during our stay at the Comet London Hatfield Hotel. We also had dinner on two evenings. Customer service was great. Staffs were friendly. We enjoyed our meal there every time. We will go back next year.

Fantastic evening today - thank you to all staff. Attended to meet the members of the Ellenbrook Area Residents’ Association. Lovely place, great atmosphere, hadn’t thought to go before. I will now be going when I can. Parking also easy if you need it.
The food was nice and hot but not a great amount of food. I prefer food served on a plate instead of a board. Staff was very courteous but constant sniffing from a waiter/barman was off putting!
Cooked frozen fish and chips, they were certainly out of a bag rather than freshly cooked & some of the chips were hard. Peas came in a bowl so difficult to eat as a whole as it was on a board rather than a plate. I wouldn't choose this meal next time.
