Lytton Arms - North Hertfordshire

Lovely cosy atmosphere, excellent food and wine and great service. I had the chicken wings, followed by the venison pie both delicious.

We had an amazing meal At The Lytton Arms. The service was brilliant very attentive. They let us have our table early and bought our drinks over to us. We hadn’t seen each other for a while and the poor waitress had to keep coming back whilst we made up our minds but she was so lovely and patient. The food was delicious from starters to desserts. I would definitely recommend going there. If you like real ales there is a great selection. 10 out of 10 for everything

Service very poor we waited for ever and a day for the food which is expensive as is the drinks I had prawns very very chewy cd not eat them and didn’t want to take the risk I was informed they wd speak to the chef no one come back to say anything on the matter When the bill arrived the prawns were fairly taken off It was a very cold day we asked if the radiator cd be put on as we were in the conservatory this was agreed and did not happen Some food was lovely to be fair but not mine Some of the staff pleasant a couple of them very sour faced to say the least Cdnt pay at the table as staff cdnt manage to deal with it had to go to the bar to pay and queue up We won’t return sadly ruined a good day

We called in to the Lytton with friends for a catch up and a couple of drinks, but we stayed for lunch and had a great time. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and the service was excellent. They have good beers, kept perfectly which isn 't always the case in some other traditional pubs. John runs a great ship and his staff are a real credit to him. The food was exceptional, and we all had plate envy watching other peoples meals coming out. You HAVE to try the baily 's crème Brule! We will definitely be back to sample more great ales .. and maybe another dessert or 3. Thanks guys.

Had lunch yesterday with a friend who was visiting from Oxford, we called 15 minutes before arriving to ensure there was plenty of space for us and we were told they could absolutely accommodate us. On arrival we were told to sit anywhere and at the time we were the only ones in the conservatory. We were not greeted or given menus and so I had to go to the bar to collect them. We were not told of the specials and the service was just all a little lacklustre. Once given the bill we were told someone would be back with the card machine but again we were forgotten about so I took our bill to the bar and paid on our way out. Could not fault the food but the poor service meant we only had a main and one drink each which would have been different had we been well attended to.
