Always exceptional dining. The Sunday roast is unmatched to that of any others we have sought in search of the perfect roast. So much so that we recently visited the Heston Blumenthal’s establishment [The Hinds Head] in Bray for a Sunday roast, and whilst the lunch was faultless, we and accompanying friends believe it didn’t match that of the Gables.

Warm welcome on arrival. Staff went above and beyond to check allergens in their dishes. Good choice on the wine list. Food outstanding and presentation was good. Their Beetroot and goat’s cheese starter was excellent. Definitely recommend. We will be returning.

Lussmans Harpenden never disappoints. Lovely food, attentive but discreet service. Staff are on point. Eating out these days isn't cheap anywhere, so for a small amount more it's worth every penny. Beautiful setting too!

Perfect restaurant for a very tasty lunch on a Friday with a good friend. We weren’t hurried at all, plenty of time to chat. Delightful staff and good lunch deal which includes a glass of wine. Will definitely use more often this winter.
