Very nice pub with excellent food. Everything a bit on the steep side, especially things like bread and butter which, whilst very nice, are priced outrageously. We had a lovely meal though and would go back happily.

I had my baby shower here on the 4th February 2024 in the Marshall room.I wanted a low key baby shower where I could meet up with several friends, have a lovely roast and a catch up but also want it to feel special - having it at the Kite made this possible. There was 25 of us there, all our food come out piping hot and together, it was delicious, the menu was varied so met all dietary and taste requirements.We had a waitress assigned to us upstairs and served from the bar upstairs so it meant family and friends could have a good drink which is what I wanted. The team leading up to event were great and nothing was too much to ask for, my friends and sisters took over the organising after my initial booking and they said the plans and order sheets provided by the kite made organising very easy. The team let my sisters and friends in early to decorate, the Kite team also had the tables decorated lovely and in theme with tall candles and everyone had their own individual name place mat.I had the most amazing afternoon and it was exactly what I wanted I cannot thank the team enough especially Jess and Freya who were great with the organising. We will defiently be looking to host another event here again.

Absolutely amazing!Had a spontaneous decision to give this place a go for the first time and so glad we did!The staff were amazing and welcoming, food was some of the best we've had in this town and reasonably priced!Personally, I want the recipe for their cider bread! Never had anything like it!Strongly recommend!

A group of us ate here, all having French onion soup to start which was exceptional. We all had something different for our mains but everyone waxed lyrically about their meal. We had a lovely waitress for the evening who was attentive and very friendly. In all, it was a fantastic evening and would highly recommend it. I’ve been here a number of times and it is well worth a visit.

The Kite, for us is the best fine dining available in Hitchin. The menu is reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the food. In January we’ve eaten here actually and had a roast - it’s always incredible. The staff are always lovely and they have lots of nice craft beers and wines to choose from. And their cocktails are next level. See you all again soon. Phil & Kat

This place is fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious. I went for a beef roast which was delicious and hit the spot! At our table a couple of people got the burger, which they raved about, and one person got the pie, he also had good things to say.The beef was sliced finely and cooked exactly how I'd expect, medium-rare. The roast was served with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, a lovely crisp Yorkshire pudding, and delicious honey carrots. The potatoes weren't quite as fluffy as I'd like then, but they were very good. The beef was tender and juicy, and for me the star of the dish! My mouth melted whilst eating the cauliflower cheese, which is exactly what you want from a dish covered in creamy cheese. Overall the meal was brilliant, and I highly recommend the Kite for their roast!For dessert, (and yes I know getting this after a roast was very ambitious!) I got their apple crumble and custard. The crumble was crunchy, just as I like it, and the apple filling flavours were devine. Unfortunately, the custard was not quite right, (a bit curd) and so I only had a little. But with the sweet taste and textures of the crumble I was very satisfied.The venue has a welcoming and cosy atmosphere, and the staff are friendly and very welcoming.This venue is a dog friendly pub, which I love! They have a no dog dining area, as well as a dog friendly dining area. Usually, pubs don't invest in a nice dog friendly dining area and you're placed in front of the bar on a small table. However, at the Kite you can experience their delicious food with your fur friends and sit in an area that's just as lovely as the no dog zone.If you're looking for a pub to visit for food or just drinks in Hitchin, I highly recommend coming here.Dietary restrictions: They are very attentive when it comes to dietary restrictions.

Fantastic Bar & Restaurant the staff are super friendly and attentive, we’re doing dry January and we’re keen to try the zero alcohol draft pint of Lucky Saint which was lovely . 5* for the
Was looking for somewhere to have Sunday roast for some time now. This place was listed as one of the top places in Hertfordshire serving Sunday roast so I thought I would give it a try! I was not disappointed, I was actually positively surprised! Food was delicious and presentation was excellent. Service was truly incredible- a lot of young professionals hired at this restaurant/bar. Staff were helpful, polite and service was smooth. It’s good to see young people taking their job seriously and providing top customer service. Thank you for having us and I will be returning!

Never had a bad meal here. Service always very good. Quite expensive though, but worth it for a special occasion.

We had our work Christmas party in the Marshall Room in December 2023, which was decorated beautifully! Amazing food & great service! Thank you.

I have to compliment FOH team, everyone was friendly, found us a table although it was a very last minute booking, service was attentive.However food was disappointing. Seeing only 4 mains on the menu, one would expect them being fabulous. Both our burger and pie were okay but nothing more than in an average pub, except the price. We were expecting a really nice meal but what we got I could compare to M&S food, nice but not wow. I won’t return and won’t recommend.
