Hermitage Rd Bar and Restaurant

Award winning bar & restaurant in the middle of Hitchin. Serving up exciting food with added theatre
(2276)

Breaks down the barriers of traditional dining by offering the modern equivalent. Contemporary design with reclaimed vintage stripped back décor lends a fun, unpretentious atmospheric feel. It is a great place for meeting with friends and family to socialise and eat the most sumptuous fresh food cooked to perfection in the open kitchen in theatrical style. Snack or feast but there’ll also be lots

of sharing platters and breakfast in the bar at weekends after a big night out. The 8 metre long zinc offers a wide range of real ales and lagers and an eclectic selection of well-chosen wines by the bottle or the glass and a quality spirit range for those traditional cocktails. ,
8 meter high vaulted ceiling, arched windows and a stage where many a 60s mega star performed (now a dining area).

🩵 is coming to Hitchin this Saturday and we are so here for it.

Their iconic blue Rover will be out and about around town handing out free wristbands, and if you bring one into us, we’ll pour you a Hermitage Spritz on the house.

Papa Salt gin, Aperol, and grapefruit soda. The kind of drink that makes a Saturday feel exactly like it should.

Keep an eye out for the blue van. 🤍
