An excellent pub/restaurant. Really good food with very generous portions. Ate in the restaurant, which was splendidly decorated for Christmas. Excellent and friendly service from Felix and the team. Come hungry - you won't be disappointed. (The cheesy chips with bacon were so good that I forgot to take a photo before tucking in!).
What a lovely spot with amazingly polite and caring staff! Came for a quick fish and chips with the family the prices reasonable, parking at rear and food delicious! Drinks also not a bad price and again staff ready to help you with there deals and wide selection of beers/ales.
High recommend this place as it’s not always that you get to go to a secret garden with lovely pods that protect you from the rain, sun and have a little speaker to cheer you up!
On one of the busiest Sundays ( private party and the World Cup Final ) , the busy staff still found time for a smile and provided a good service . An excellent Sunday Lunch of roast pork ( slow cooked collar ) , crisp Yorkshire , tasty gravy, roasties, carrots, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage , green beans broccoli and kale - this was a plateful and thoroughly enjoyed. The Engineer is a well organised Pub ( Doom Bar, Spitfire , Adnams ) with friendly efficient staff , they deserve all the compliments.
Best pub in Southdown with something for everyone; a sports bar, restaurant, and lovely outdoor space. Really friendly, welcoming staff and good selection of cask and keg beers.
Food menu looked good and, judging from the positive reviews, it definitely looks worth a return visit to eat.
Great service if April, Katie and Sharon are there....still good if not but just takes a tad longer to be served....ive been spoilt by the ladies. Chicken wings are fab and good value so is the roasts on Sunday.....tad pricey mind!!
Separate seating for grown ups and those with younger ones....separate sports bar (kids not allowed) but in all a very nice place to drop into after a walk on the common
Hired the teepee area with outside bar for a birthday event on a Saturday. Would definitely recommend the space, especially in the warmer months. Massive thanks to everyone at the Engineer!
Lovely family lunch! Overall nice experience although we had issues with two dishes, one had to be replaced and the other one was taken off the bill. Aside from that we all enjoyed the afternoon at this lovely pub. My partner loved the fact they serve his favorite beer on draft (Heineken Silver).
I've been here a few times for a pint or coffee etc as it has very warm interior vibes and plenty of outside space, and is dog friendly, so I love stopping in here after a walk!
We actually held a wake here recently and it was a perfect venue for the size, holding about 50+ of imus, accommodating our own music and slideshow. The food was okay from the spread, but of course this was finger food so I cannot comment on their regular menu!
Very welcoming staff and plenty of beers and ciders on tap!
A popular destination in an easy to find location to the south of Harpenden, near to the common and St. John's church.
Relaxed, friendly service in a comfortable environment.
A wide selection of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, with freshly prepared food served during meal times, a new chef has started so be prepared for new food ideas.
Recently voted the best pub in Harpenden and St. Albans, it continues to be a solid provider of quality hospitality services.
Nice little local pub, friendly service, good value food.
