A charming village near Hertford, Newgate Street is home to Gables Restaurant - bringing the flavours of the Mediterranean to the local community. Easy to reach from the surrounding area, including Cuffley, Potters Bar, Hertford and Cheshunt, Gables' easygoing, casual atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner, meeting with a friend or a night off from cooking. The Gables' management regularly invites local musicians to provide live entertainment as an added touch.
Mediterranean food covers a wide range, and the menu at the Gables Restaurant is composed appropriately. This cuisine is renowned all over the world, and skilfully brought to the local neighbourhood by the Gables' management and chefs.
From the very starters, the flavours are impressive. Homemade dips like taramasalata, tzatziki or hummus come with hot pita bread; halloumi cheese and spicy sausage are served over a bed of greens, and who could resist the Mediterranean prawns, cooked in a butter, chilli and white wine sauce?
Fish lovers will be delighted with all the fabulous choices at Gables, Hertford. There's fresh roasted salmon, pan-fried sea bass served with sauté potatoes, king prawns with asparagus, and monk fish on a bed of grilled courgettes and mixed peppers. The Gables fish platter comes highly recommended and includes a serving of all of the above, accompanied by a mixed salad.
Of course, the Mediterranean isn't all about fish, so the meat and pasta selection is equally delightful. Guests will enjoy fillet steak, chicken breast or lamb cutlets, and the masterfully prepared seafood linguine, featuring king prawns, fresh calamari and baby prawns in a signature chilli, garlic and shellfish sauce.
The staff will be glad to recommend an appropriate wine, adding that final touch of perfection to any course, and completing the authentic Mediterranean experience.
