Little Monkey
23 Bancroft, HitchinI lead an Alkaline Life style I don't eat meat or dairy and the only bread I eat is what I make myself which is spelt bread as it works in conjunction with my alkaline lifestyle
The thai food also works in conjuction with my Alkaline Life style
Tonight Saturday 13th Sept 2025 was my first time in the Little Monkey in Hitchin and I had:-
The Tom Ka Soup with coconut milk tofu and mushrooms etc with extra spice absolutely awesome
My main meal was 2 Penang curries (no rice) with plenty of Tofu and plenty of vegetables plus I took another Penang curry home with me as that was equally as awesome as my starter
Do get down to the Little Monkey in Hitchin because the food is incredible along with the staff
When I visit Hitchin again I shall return thankyou again and much Love and Respect to You All ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zizzi - Hitchin
21 Sun St, HitchinWe were staying in Hitchin on a Friday night before a family wedding the next day. I booked Zizzi in advance, as my son likes the food, and it was a good thing we had booked, as it was heaving.\n\nGenerally, we had a good meal. The food was mostly fine - although I thought my carbonara was way too stodgy. It was like a mass of pasta stuck together on the plate, and hard to pick up. I left some of it, which isn't like me. The rest was good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming - and service was efficient. \n\nApart from the carbonara, there are just 3 other things that weren't ideal. It was SO loud in there that I just couldn't hear what people were saying - to the point I stopped trying to hear what my son and husband were saying! You couldn't hear yourself think. No-one asked me about any allergies. I have a mild.one - no big deal, but when it came to dessert, I just mentioned it, as often restaurants use berries as garnishes, and that's my allergy. The waiter was horrified that no-one had asked me on arrival.about allergies, but then almost accused me.of not raising it - and then another waiter came over and we had the same conversation and he started telling me that I should have said something. Berries are easy to avoid, and I knew there wouldn't be any in garlic bread and carbonara, so I didn't think it was worth mentioning before. I didn't really like being accused of wrongdoing twice - especially when the onus should be on the restaurant to check. Finally, one waiter came over with a special QR code and asked if we could leave a special review and mention our main waiter by name - this was on the card with the QR code, and I found this a bit pushy. He was quite insistent that I did so, which felt a bit forced. Both were nice and had been great waiters, but I feel reviews should be voluntary. I didn't like the QR code concept.

Caffe Elite
93A Bancroft, HitchinWhat an absolute little gem!
I shop at Sainsburys next door to the cafe, and have always thought the smells wafting over were lovely, but never had the opportunity to visit.
Well that changed today!
Went for a late breakfast with my wife and really couldn't have been more impressed.
Polite and friendly staff, great service, fantastic food and a real buzz in the air.
My wife had one of the fantastic full breakfasts (so big she couldn't finish it) and I had a ham, cheese and mushroom omelette with all the trimmings, along with a large cup of tea and a bottle of sparkling water - total bill £21.30 which I thought was very reasonable.
The turnaround was quick without being too quick, no pressure to get going.
We'll definitely be back and hopefully on a very regular basis.

The George And Dragon Graveley, Hitchin
19 High St, Graveley, HitchinCame for Sunday lunch today. Had booked a table in the bar which was quiet and perfect for my autistic child. On arrival we were greeted and shown to our table, waitress was friendly. Took our drink order and shortly after food order. 1 roast beef, 1 lamb, 1 kids nuggets meal. Unfortunately my son isn’t keen on skin on fries but I should have double checked this on ordering. Food took a while to come out but not excessive. Happy to wait for good food. The young lad who bought the food to the table got the meats the wrong way, gave me the lamb and called it beef and gave my sons dad my beef and said it was the lamb. We double checked with the waitress as I don’t eat lamb so swopped over plates. Again, not a massive problem. Food was good, lots of variety of vegetables. Prefer my beef rare but that’s personal preference. The cauliflower cheese wasn’t very cheesy but was cooked well. Unfortunately nothing on the plate stood out but was still enjoyable. If you’re looking for a standard pub lunch then this place is perfect. Better than the local carvery’s but not stand out/extra special. £64 for 2 roasts. 1 nuggets, 2 pints of coke and a fruit shoot so not badly priced either. I’d definitely come back . My child loved the outdoor play area too.

Hitchin Hill, HitchinI approached the pub to assist me with providing meals for 10 days for 16 children each day. We agreed a beautiful menu that was nutritious & varied. The Manager provided us with a Meat & Vegetarian option & each meal always came with corn on the cob, peas, carrot & cucumber sticks. The pub kindly also provided a fab desert each day per child from choc brownie, rainbow sundae, icecreams & frozen yoghurts. The food was ready on time for collection and presented beautifully. The portion size was more than enough for children up to age 12. The children absolutely devoured the food each day. The Manager also provided gluten free options for one child for 5 of the 10 days. All requests were handled with no issues. The staff are so helpful & friendly and very efficient. Highly recommend ?

We ordered food and drinks on the app and they came at the same time that was very well coordinated from the team
The food was brilliant the pepperoni pizza was very good it wasn’t hard crust but it wasn’t soft either, there was a good amount of pepperonis on my pizza, My son got the empire state beef burger and he said and I quote “that burger was one of the nicest burgers I’ve ever had” we were very suprised at the quality of the food, I know it doesn’t mean a lot but I love what they’ve done with the menu, very happy with this Wetherspoons.

28-29 Bucklersbury, HitchinThe Sunday lunch at The Kite at The Red Hart was great. The vegetarian option was delicious rather than the afterthought it is at some places at our waiter Alfie was really friendly and helpful.

Cawsburger
2 Churchyard, HitchinI’ve been wanting to try for ages. Didn’t disappoint. The burger was amazing. The chips and chicken tenders were good, but if I was ordering again, it would be two burgers. The only slight bad thing was that we struggled to have a conversation because the music was loud, good tunes though so I’m not that bothered!

Cafe 77 Hitchin
103 Bancroft, HitchinWhat a gem. I have professionally cooked for 15+ years. I have assisted the opening of a burger chain in Paris and ran GBK South Kensington. It’s fair to say I know quality when I taste it. Excellent work today ?
I am excited to re-visit!

The Albert Inn
50 Walsworth Rd, HitchinI have visited the Albert Pub many times and each time I have a lovely time. The staff are always really welcoming and chatty and there's a great atmosphere. On arrival the colourful seating, considered layout and beautiful artwork is striking and impressive. The menu is varied and changes often. The smoked meats are a must to try! Whether you are visiting on a week night, a weekend social or a tasty Sunday lunch then you are in for a treat! A Hitchin gem where you are sure to be looked after.

Club 85
74 Whinbush Rd, HitchinThis is a strange and unusual venue. But as you would expect the club itself is entertaining and welcoming.
Once the music and entertainment starts though you find yourself enjoying it.
The outside area is a bit cramped, but navigable. The staff are helpful and good to chat with. Good.

The Groundworks
1 Churchyard, HitchinIt was cute but I’m not sure I would go again.
Coffee was sour and unpleasant - I had a cortado and somehow my wife’s black decaf coffee was on point
. The server did help us get gluten free but as she put through the order she rushed to the kitchen as she ‘forgot to put it in the ticket’ - didn’t give us the most confidence about the allergy was taken seriously, especially having a nut allergy too.
Granola was delicious, hash brown bites were amazing, the sandwich was dry but that’s all gf bread…
It was average for top London prices.

Chilli B
32 Bucklersbury, HitchinUnfortunately the food has gone seriously downhill - the flavours are just not as good as they used to be. And my wrap was half empty!! Once I'd eaten the part of the wrap that actually had filling in, I was basically left with dough. And at that price!! The garden is lovely now - but if the food doesn't get back to how it was they'll lose customers.

Atlantic Bay
10 Redhill Rd, HitchinToday I picked up a meal and ordered fish & chips along with onion rings — and I have to say, this was hands down the best fish & chips I’ve ever had in London or anywhere in England. The fish was perfectly cooked and crispy, the chips were just right, and the onion rings were equally delicious. The sauces were also absolutely fantastic.
The staff were very friendly and worked in a clean, hygienic environment. I’ve eaten out or ordered food several times in Hitchin, but nothing has come close to the quality and taste I experienced here. Highly recommended!
