Vanstone - North Hertfordshire

An off the cuff visit due to business in Codicote. In my opinion the menu was over priced for the food received. My gripe is that we sat outside, coffees were bought out and I asked for sugar and was told it was inside and I was clearly expected to go and get it myself. £38 for a jacket potato, 2 sandwiches and 3 hot drinks I would've thought the waitress could've got the sugar for us!! The lad who bought the food out was lovely though. I wouldn't return

This restaurant is perfect for children of all ages! Take a train ride and meet Santa, who gives out presents. At the ticket booth, you can get a free mince or apple pie when you purchase your tickets. Admission is only £5 each, and children under 1 are free. Everyone I talked to had a great time, and some even said they have been coming back for years! The restaurant is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 3:30pm, and during Christmas week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at the same times, with Saturday hours from 10am to 12:30pm. It is definitely worth a visit!

Arrived here at 3.55pm. Sign says open to 4.30 pm. Walked in to be told We are closed When I said your sign says 4.30 just got a sorry. Now first I am making the assumption the staff here can read and write. If this is the case then surely it was not beyond the wit of one of them to grab a piece of paper and a pen, write closing at whatever time they closed and stick it on the board. My main moan is my passenger has a bad leg. I drove up and checked they were still open, you can see the sign from the car, before getting her out and up the steps. This could have been avoided if the staff just had a bit of foresight. It 's not rocket science! Poor all round. We would not go back.

We were a group of 32 and the tea was excellent. All very fresh, selection of sandwiches, delicious scones and cakes with endless refills of tea. Even accommodated a last minute guest who was gluten free. Excellent service. Would thoroughly recommend!

Lovely afternoon tea for a group of 32. Garden centre setting with fresh sandwiches, scones and cakes. Endless refills for tea. Very good vale with exceservice
