Poor, extremely slow experience. Came for lunch and took 20 minutes before someone came to take our orders. Took just over an hour to receive our starters, followed by a further 45 minutes for mains. Staff chaotic, non organised and rushing around. We had to...ask a few times when our food was coming! Nobody came by to check if our food was ok. Food was average, smaller portions for the price. Shocked to find 12.5% service charge on the bill for the huge lack of service during our stay. Won’t be returning.More

If you go for the beer, really good real ales, this is an excellent pub. Avoid the food though. We waited 1hr 20mins for two sandwiches on a Saturday lunchtime. The fish goujons sandwich was OK but £15 and the sausage sandwich was very ordinary,...it didn't come in ciabatta as advertised but in a small panini, for £11. The pub even charged 12.75% service charge - for a wait of 1hr 20 minutes! To be fair, we were told there would be a slight delay for the food but the order only came after we asked about it. The pub is pretty inside and has a nice beer terrace outside.More

With it's competitor down the road now having closed door's, Six Bells is the only pub in St Michaels Village. Staff here are warm and friendly, however and not having a go, merly just stating that I did not know until paying up, there is...a steep service charge on top. Worked out that it costs £30-40+ per person here, yet at another venue whom do similar foods but at much bigger portion sizes the price is £10.00 per person. Found the pricing on the menus very confusing 😐 no £ symbols just a small figure. Could be why this pub was virtually empty with. I really want to support businesses including locally as understandably it is a real difficult time for pubs especially with cost of living having gone up, however with over priced foods that was small portions found this off putting. Items on the menu no longer available. Would I go here again but only if no service charge and no high costs.More

Loads of pubs in the immediate area have closed so we were pleased to find this old style pub and even more pleased to find undercover seating in the garden. The landlady was very friendly and examined my beer after it had been pulled and...wasn't happy as it was cloudy which was excellent service.More

Massively gone down hill, this used to be a great pub must be under new management the food was stale and bland, the staff were rude, the place was empty just avoid.

This pub is ideally located between the Cathedral, Verulamium Park and the Roman Theatre. We got a warm welcome and quick service from the staff. Unfortunately had to sit next to the draughty back door and toilets because all the tables in the bar area...were reserved. However, our fish finger ciabatta and festive club sandwich were both very tasty. We’d certainly eat here again but perhaps not in winter (unless we could guarantee a spot by the open fire!) All in all, an enjoyable lunch.More

Best Sunday lunch Food amazing - not your normal pub food - a cut above the rest. Highly recommend. Lovely friendly staff & relaxed atmosphere. Good for non meat eaters as well as a good choice of beer & wine to suit all ages when...out for a family lunch that crosses generations. 5 star pub lunch! Thoroughly enjoyed.More

A wide range of decent real ales and fantastic food with friendly and attentive staff. It is all that you want in a traditional English pub.

Now, I've always said that TA needs a Good button, something between average and very good, because that's how I would describe the Six Bells, it's a lovely old building in a very nice area of Snorbans with a lot of character, but it wasn't...the best pint of ale I had in the city on our breakMore

Popped in as we were passing. Starters of Cod bites, Calamari & Chicken wings. All were excellent - both the cod & the calamari were very fresh the calamari having had the membrane removed. Both batters were clearly done in the kitchen - no catering...pack food here. The chicken wings were plump and in a fiery hot sauce. Mains were a 'fish burger' in a bun - again the freshest piece of fish fried in a house made batter, gammon with fried egg & chips & the pie of the day - chicken & mushroom. The pie was a generous slice filled to the top with chicken breast. The only observation was the sauce in the pie was so good I would have liked a little extra on the side. This is what 'pub Grub' should be - made in the kitchen, made well & clearly with care & love. Price/portion is very good. Finally to a previous reviewer - true that the Service charge is not stated on the menu. This is 2022. A Government that claims we are a 'High Wage' economy - start getting real. 12.5% is the industry norm. Staff are difficult to find & believe it or not work very hard. You are not being ripped off - prices here are reasonable - do not begrudge staff their cut.More

Had an excellent meal - the food was very good. However, it was only after we'd left that we realised they had added a 12.5% service charge to the bill without telling us. We were incensed. Nowhere does it say that they will include a...service charge & 12.5% is very steep. It doesn't mention it on the menu so to then just add it very sneakily without telling anyone is totally unacceptable. It's the sort of thing you hear dodgy London restaurants doing not a local pub. As I said, a good meal but we will won't be returning because we don't like being robbed.More

My thanks to Lisa and Sammy for a superb afternoon's visit yesterday, my apologies for the few absentees but they were on medical grounds and apart from one I phoned them through in advance. Terrific food, hospitality, wonderful staff, social distancing rules, (we are all...triple jabbed), a wonderful afternoon as always and we raised £370 for Herts Air Ambulance as our chosen charity. I look forward to booking with you again next year. Merry christmas to you all. Graeme SMore
