The Yew Tree

Very disappointed with the food from here. In my opinion it was very poor by Western standards but what frustrated me the most is that they boast “authentic” Chinese food. I can tell you as a Chinese person that this is about as unauthentic as you can get. What part of China is the chef from, have they ever visited..? The aromatic duck was dry and crumbly, the Amoy noodles (where I am from) were so plain and boring and the sweet and sour sauce my husband had was awful. I’m happy to try again in a few months time as I’m always willing to give people a second chance but from my experience so far I would not recommend eating from here.

Really enjoyed the dishes I had. As a vegetarian, Chinese can be a bit hit and miss. The tofu / bean curd was a great consistency. Not slimey, not rock hard. Thank you very much. I'll be back again.

I must be missing something after reading all these reviews.

I found the food to be very bland and of really poor quality and very over priced for what it was.

The portions were small and full of msg. I left completely bloated until 10 minutes later when I was empty again. We had two starters two mains with one shared rice and only two drinks each and it came to £60. Compare that to a decent restaurant and its a waste of my money defo Not money well spent.

I really wanted to be able to support this local business but we will never be going there again. Compared to all the other Chinese takeaways and restaurants in and around stevenage, this unfortunately has to be the worst.

The people that run the place are really nice but at the end of the day I want something half decent at least on my plate.

Real shame. 🙁

Very nice food. Would highly recommend this place! Great flavour, great service. Owners very friendly and welcoming.

Great service, even though it was busy. Food lovely. Friendly staff

This is a great find. An old pub in a small village that is also a chineese restaurant. The staff are friendly and curtious and there's a large carpark too.

I take the family out after Xmas for dinner, and we usually eat Chinese. We had never tried The Yew Tree, and the restaurant is quirky in that it is in the local village pub!
The couple that run the pub are welcoming and very friendly, and overall the selection of main dishes and presentation of them was extremely good,
served hot and with lots of flavour. I would have given this another star had it not been for the starters, which were not as good as they could have been. The family would absolutely go back there again, and I would certainly recommend you go and try it. It was a thoroughly good experience.
Enjoy! AJ

We have been coming to here for 4 years for our Chinese and have never had an 'bad' meal. The food is fresh, tasty and hot on collection. Staff are friendly.
