    Amazing food, proper bbq food and thankfully not covered in sauce. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Great range of drinks including non-alcoholic drinks. It is expensive but as a celebration it was worth it. We had the pitmaster platter between two of us, plenty of food, without any going to waste. We cannot wait to go back, really highly recommended!

    Great service, excellent food. Should have had a starter each instead of sharing as it was so tasty.

    Easy to book friendly welcome generally good service and tasty food. Menu doesn’t include all beer choices - check the beer wall before sitting down. Lots of decent nonalcoholic choices too. Enjoyed the meal and will eat there again.

    Great food and service just the acoustics need resolving as the noise levels prevented decent conversation

    Our first time to C&C and a wonderful meal with great service and ambience. We had a sharing plate which was a great way to try each dish. I'm looking forward to going back. The best meal we've had in Hitchin town.
