Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Craft & Cleaver in St Albans is celebrated for its "fantastic" American-style BBQ and wide craft beer selection. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, enhanced by "friendly staff" and excellent service. Although occasionally slow, the food is "worth the wait," with standout dishes like burnt ends and beef ribs. A dog-friendly spot with a beautiful garden, it's ideal for special occasions or relaxed dining.

    Service was very slow despite there only being 3 other tables occupied in the pub. Pre booked a table, 2 of the party were seated, drinks order taken and then asked to move tables as we’d been seated at the incorrect table, no other party sat at the table we were initially seated at the entire time we were in the pub. Go figure… The rest of the party arrived, drinks orders were taken that and the drinks must’ve arrived a good 20 minutes later. Part of the menu wasn’t available but only told when we came to order. Ordered a smoothie and after 15 minutes was told the lid to the blender couldn’t be found! No more than 2 mins later a smoothie arrived at the table! Second coffee that was ordered came incorrectly. At this point we didn’t have the energy to complain. Food eventually arrived and was luke warm at best. Toast arrived with Full English’s (that were a rather mediocre portion) with no butter that had to be asked for. Service charge automatically applied to a table of 5 and to be honest the whole experience was pretty poor and expensive. Bacon was tasty if you want a silver lining.

    We asked twice for our drinks when people around us that came later were already drinking theirs, our main meals were very nice, unfortunately the Mac and cheese was dry and flavourless. No one came to take orders for drinks so i couldn’t wash my food down. Then we say waiting for someone to get us the bill. It’s at times like this I really begrudge paying service charge

    Really nice place, good vibe. House Lager was one of the best I’ve had. Food was cooked really well, classic taste, crispy chips. Really happy with the service and over all food.

    We had the sharing platter which was delicious. Friendly staff too. It was quite quiet in there but we really like the music that was playing and we would definitely go back
