The Engineer - St Albans

Might be been a bad night, but thought the tall barman/woman was rude and drinks very expensive, food bland and quiz far too easy, like it was made for kids. Also saw a rat in the garden coming out what what I think was the kitchen area! Clearly a pub that thinks it is better than what it is! Also they didn’t give us our chocolates after we finished our food (pictured) even though they were meant for customers!

Really friendly staff made for an enjoyable Sunday Lunch visit. The menu was decent as were the portions and the food was tasty. Intriguing set up with inside or outside dining (pods). Kids were well looked after too.

We had a glorious evening with friends, consisting of drinks, sharing platter (yum! and laughter. The atmosphere in the Engineer is always great, whether for a quiet drink in an outside pod, a bustling quiz night on Tuesdays or a drink/meal with friends or family. The outstanding part of this evening was our server, Bronwyn. She was super attentive, friendly and just lovely. Thank you for a marvellous evening out. Just what I needed after a crazy week.

Have visited twice in the last few weeks and the food has been outstanding with a really good menu and very friendly staff. Love the outside pods which can be heated if you wish

We booked a BBQ here and the venue did not disappoint! Fran the manager was amazing, she was so accommodating and met every demand we had. The food was exceptional. We had burgers from the BBQ menu. The burgers were similar to a specialised burger joint. We had our own area which had a tepee cover and our own bar. The staff were so friendly and we had no waiting around. My staff said this was one of their favourite events. Hats off to the pub and the staff for making it such a special night. This was a private function for 40 people and the area was perfect. We arranged for a magician and the pub welcomed this. I would highly recommend this place for a works do
