"We held our small wedding reception at The Arbury and were thrilled with the exceptional food and service. Our guests raved about the delicious wine and welcome cocktail. Despite having only Martin in the kitchen, all four courses were served simultaneously and perfectly cooked. Lucy, the host, was very accommodating and helped us decorate the restaurant with flowers and other decorations, as well as providing table cloths and napkins. Her communication with us was excellent and she offered helpful ideas. The Arbury is the ideal venue for intimate events and we feel fortunate to have such a great spot in Baldock."

"I went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch with a friend. Despite being fully booked when we called, they managed to squeeze us in. We arrived just after 1pm and it was quiet, but by 2pm it was getting busy. I recommend booking an early table if you want to avoid missing out. We both ordered the lamb roast, which arrived promptly and in large portions. They even gave us extra gravy without charging us, which was a nice touch. The mint sauce was deliciously thick and the food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The lamb was particularly tender and there was plenty of it. The only downside was that the food was a bit cold, possibly due to the open door to the garden area. However, I didn't mind too much since the food was still tasty. My friend had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert and I enjoyed a strong, full-bodied white coffee. All this for less than £20 per person was great value for money. The service was efficient and on point."

"The decor and vibe of this place was the most appealing. The food an anti climax (desserts by far were the best) Starter it was supposed to be a king prawn cocktail, they said they were out of king prawns but will instead give me a huge portion of little prawns. The portion was average and starter basic therefore overpriced for what I was given. Mains crab linguine. If you like garlic then this dish is for you. The crab was flaked but barely visible and I could hardly taste it especially with the overpowering garlic. Friends had pork belly rib which was extremely tasty, full of flavour and the meat was tender Dessert the fried salted caramel ice cream special was amazing. And the pavlova was perfectly chewy and soft. Desserts a winner Price per person: £60–70 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Maple Glazed Pork Belly"

"So a couple of weeks ago we ordered a takeaway from Piato restaurant in Baldock. 3 chicken souvlaki, 12.95 each, so 38.85 in total. One of the chicken meals was undercooked with pink/blood running through, so could not be eaten. All 3 meals came with a salad in a box and all 3 salads were brown . Andy called the manager and was very respectful and pointed out how surprised we were as we have eaten many times at Piato's and have never had a bad meal. The manager said he was sorry and he will cook the chicken longer next time and he insisted that the brown on the salad was due to the dressing that was put on the salad. He told Andy he was sorry and when we next order, he will do something for us to make amends. Today Andy called to order 3 more meals and was told we could have a 10% discount 3.80. Andy said that that offer was ridiculous as one whole meal last time was inedible, the manager would then only offer 15% 5.82. Off the order. Andy was told that they were not offering any more than that. So we cancelled the order and will never eat in Piato's again. What a joke and such a shame what poor customer service from what we thought was a quality restaurant. Check your chicken folks!!!"

"I attended the restaurant with my partner as it appeared a nice place to eat from the outside. To be honest the choice of food was not really appealing but we were already there so though we would go ahead and order. I chose chicken and my partner ordered steak and chips. The chicken did taste good with the sauce, however I asked for an alternative to mushroom, and noticed that they did not remove it completely. The green beans was a nice alternative but the meal was not filling so it was just chicken in sauce and green beans. The steak had all the flavour but as it was not tender but chewy it left my partner feeling very disappointed. Desert Bramley Apple Crumble with nuts and Ice Cream So there was a lot of sauce that taste like maple syrup (very sweet), could not see or taste any apples and as for the crumble it seemed as if they took a table spoon of crumble and sprinkled over the sauce and called it 'Apple crumble '. To top it all we felt it was over priced. The only one positive I would like to report is the service, Ellie was very professional and made us feel very much at home."
