Abigails Tea Rooms, St Albans

Recommended to us as a lovely place for tea and scones, we found Abigail's to be crowded, with outdoor tables empty of people but full of finished cups, plates and cutlery. The wait staff were friendly and our cream teas arrived quite promptly, but the scones tasted stale and old. Abigail's does not accept credit or debit cards, but makes no mention of this until they're presented to pay at the end of your stay! Great location, but...

Really good quality food and for affordable prices - overall an excellent experience as it's situated in a beautiful location with very nice staff you are friendly and welcoming.

I used to visit Abigails Tea Rooms for lunch every week for 5 years with my mates.... good food and good company

Very friendly & relaxing atmosphere, the food was more enjoyable for it. I have enjoyed food at Abigail's Tea Rooms on a number of occasions. Nice friendly establishment that deserves a visit.

After such a disappointing meal we just wanted to pay and get out of there. I went in to settle up so we didn't have to explain why we'd left much of the food. At the counter I was asked if my food was alright. I falter and then said "...it was ... ok. To be honest it wasn't very nice." They didn't seem concerned, which was the impetus for me to go on this website.

Abigails Tea Rooms is well worth a visit, especially in the summer for the super patio and views of the abbey and gardens. It serves lovely food, cream teas and cakes and the staff are really nice.
