Dining at Element Bar & Kitchen

We are so lucky to have Element in our neighbourhood. The service is exemplary- genuinely friendly and welcoming, but unobtrusive- and, after 4 visits, consistently excellent. On top of that, the food quality is always superb, the portion sizes decent, and the ambience warm and relaxed. I'd recommend Element for any occasion and hope to return often. A fantastic local venue Hatfield should take pride in.

Very nice service. Good food? One of the dessert for sure not made in restaurant and it will be nice to have bowl of lemon water for ribs.

Fantastic thank you ! Will be back
Great service from Ryan

Brilliant experience, staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was very good.

Very good service food very nice breakfast value for money

Would highly recommend. Staff were so friendly and attentive, serving delicious fresh food. The resturant was covid complient so you felt safe during the experience. Loved the art deco interior. Will definitely return. Thank you!

We ate lunch at Element Bar & Kitchen in September 2020. There were a total of five people in the restaurant, so it's difficult to rate what the atmosphere is like in the evening when there are more diners there. The food was tasty, as described and hot upon arriving at our table, our flat whites weren't up to much. We'd come back in the evening to see what a difference that makes to the dining experience.

We booked a table for 7 and got seated at 7:55 when there was quite a few seats, but they had given us free drinks so it made up for it.

Food pricey basic menu
Not much atmosphere
No children menu offered

Excellent service. Starters were really generous. The whole experience was unexpectedly lovely.

Superb service, delicious and generously portioned food (the caesar salad is outstanding!) and a lovely, stylish but relaxed ambience and decor. A real gem and definitely somewhere we'll visit again. The service was perfect!

Good food, good value and helpful staff. Like the art deco style building.

Helpful and friendly staff
Food of a high standard
Portions more than ample

First time in the bar since it’s refurb and it looks amazing. Staff were absolutely excellent and made it a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Will definitely be visiting again

The staff were very helpful and courteous. The decor is great especially if art deco is your thing. The food is good especially the steaks. We had t bit of a wait for our desserts and the waiter immediately discounted them from our bill before we could even grumble. They did look after us.

Fabulous! Great everyday menu

Great food after watching some of the best netballers in England compete at the Sports Village

The decor is lovely and staff friendly but the food was awful. Cold steak. Undercooked veg. Vegan burger overdone and tasted like cardboard.
Hope you get a better chef as it promises more than it delivers at present!

The staff were very friendly and the service was good

Stunning building! Food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back

Fantastic restaurant with fabulous food, a very accommodating head chef and the staff were outstanding. We will return even though we live over 70 miles away

Not many vegetarian options.
Rather expensive but the food was lovely.

It has not been open very long so was a little quiet, however service and food were excellent and we enjoyed a relaxing evening with a great meal, cocktails were available and were well made

Very nice. restaurant was recently renovated and there was plenty of space. It was quiet but it was a Monday night, so I hoped that there would not be crowds. We had a very relaxed evening and could talk easily without having to shout. The food was excellent and the staff very helpful and firendly

Very attentive service but a bit too much salt in the food for my tastes, still finished the whole dish though.

Steak and veggie burger took two attempts. Do not ask for medium rare

Wasn't seated outside like request but was glad we weren't due the traffic outside the air con was also need but 1st table under it was too cold and table wobbly so move to restaurant was lovely

Limited choice of food but lovely place although full price without discount would be quite expensive

We visited a couple of days after opening, staff will improve with practice as some were a little hesitant and unsure of some things. Food was OK, steak was a little more well done than asked for but taste was good. Some unavailability of items from menu was disapppointing. We rarely eat out in Hatfield preferring to go to Welwyn garden city (coopers steak house) where the size of portion and accompaniments are far superior. Cocktails were however excellent and bar manager very helpful. I would say the ambience was excellent.

Arrived 30 mins early, and we were showen to a table around the corner not another person in sight. The waitress was nice but we felt we we're being rushed, she took our drinks order my wife asked for a water and was given a massive bottle of Voss water, you could use it as a vase when finished.lol . I ordered the sirloin steak & my wife had the grilled chicken burger. The steak was perfect the only downside for me was the 6 chips i had on my plate.
My wife thought the chicken buger was tasty and it came with a large portion of fries, unlike my 6 chips.
The drinks are on the expensive side but that is to be expected as its a hotel.
On the whole was ok, but as the food is half price at the moment, but once that offer is over it will be a bit pricey for the average Hatfielder.

Terrible service was waiting for half hour didn’t even get our drinks was only a few people dining with at least 6 staff waiting/serving wouldn’t recommend to anyone
