Always superb food and great beer! Beer garden is looking great after Covid update and patio heaters kept us nice and toasty!
Really lovely place for a lunch in what is a difficult time (December 2020 COVID measures). Friendly staff. Food good value / large portions. The main negative was a lack of vegetables / lighter options. Works if you like large pieces of meat.
We really enjoyed our visit there and we will def go back soon!
Food was really delicious and tasty!
Staff really nice and attentive although I suggest they should be a bit less pressuring...they came at least 3 times whilst we were drinking an aperitif to ask if we wanted to order food ! We just wanted to enjoy a drink first that's all. They knew we were going to.order soon but it felt a bit too much to be asked so many times!
But overall it was great and we ll def recommend the place!!
Great spot!! Friendly helpful staff!
Held our table when we were late, moved us to bigger space. Helped us with the menu, quick service!!!
Definitely coming back!
Thanks!!
Staff friendly and very helpful. food was very tasty. Always enjoy it. Very happy to return when lockdown lifts.
Lovely outside area nice atmosphere.
Good food good service and friendly staff
Such and fantastic lunch, lovely staff, stunning food, it was really special and amazingly good value. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Ok, nothing special, rushed out at the end so no time for dessert despite wait staff taking a while to take our order
My partner and i came to craft and cleaver on Monday evening (14th December) and we shared a few starters and a side - it was all so delicious, I really can’t fault their food at all! We had a few cocktails which were really lovely (one waiter recommended a pineapple one which was so nice). To top it all off we had the most delicious white chocolate and orange creme brûlée! Honestly I love coming here - already making more reservations to come here again :)
We always really enjoy our food at Craft and Cleaver. Also it’s an easy walk home right next door. Excellent food, warm and friendly staff. Great for date night!
Good food and great service. A little pricey but always expected in or around London
Fantastic food. Delicious cocktails. Lovely outdoor area.
Great food and staff! Definite improvement on a previous visit.
Lovely outside space. Not cheap but good for a treat! Staff friendly and attentive.
Good vibe and music. Good service, decor and tasty food.
Food was excellent.
1½ hours for a table is pushing it. We were rushed through our dessert which was a shame.
Wow, the food was amazing and the service was excellent. This was my first time eating here but it won't be the last. One of the best restaurants I have been to with an atmosphere that makes you not want to leave
Everything was perfect. Heated outdoors, lovely food & wine. Service was great too! Excellent way to see your friends at Christmas 2020!
Great outside area with heaters for me and my friend. Staff very helpful and friendly. Beer and food always good.
I love this place the food is alway delicious and staff friendly. Good Covid procedures
Great night, service was a bit slow and they forgot a couple of things but quickly rectified and great night overall
Great simple food
Great selection of Craft beers and service was attentive without being in your face
It was so good to be out out with family as we hadn’t seen each other for months due to lockdown restrictions. Food was good and plentiful. Heated courtyard was surprisingly cosy and comfortable.
Great cocktails and food and the outdoor garden was surprisingly cosy! They’ve done a great job at adapting to covid times!
Food was amazing as always and the outdoor area was fairly warm considering how cold it was outside!
The food was served cold and pre-made a day before. It felt very dry and reheated
Delicious food (as always), great service and can’t wait to go back.
Friendly staff, great food and drink and a nice outside dining area. Need to remember to leave room for a pud next time.
Great food and feel to the outside area. We were given wrong table at first as I’d called to request a booth but we were able to have it in the end so all happy
Great outdoor space for Covid-19 friendly dinning.
The boys left there burgers very sloppy and only ate half , the food wasn’t hot enough and served on cold metal trays very disappointing but the cocktails were excellent shame about the food I don’t think we will go back !
It was a chilly night with friends outside but the heaters were on and the pretty lights made it feel warming. Had a lovely burger and fries. Nice evening.
This is the best bar I St Albans and serves Amazing food and amazing beer
Great catch up with 3 mates out of lockdown.
Eating outside was great - good atmosphere, food and beers! A great night a always!
One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The service was really quick and really liked the layout.
Lovely cosy outdoor seating area, great food as always
Excellent Staff, ambiance in these COVID times as good as can be expected, Food Good, Wish I had added some sides to the Brisket, or gone for a Burger.
Food as always, was excellent and good sized portions. Was a little chilly having to sit near an open door to the outside and service a little slow but very friendly and relaxed. As always, lovely meal and definitely keen to go again.
Food was really good. I recommend the spare ribs and it was nice to have the option of whole rack or half.
Birthday and we were offered a free bottle of Prosecco on arrival which was a lovely tough. Delicious food and brilliantly attentive service throughoutz
