Markyate · food
Markyate is a linear A5 village: a short list of local places, and Hemel, Harpenden or Luton when you want a scene.
The Sun Inn and village takeaways do the honest work. Pretending otherwise is how guidebooks annoy people who live here.
Our listings will send you to Hemel or Harpenden where Markyate has no equivalent: and we will say so.
We rank cafes on coffee, welcome, whether a laptop is tolerated without colonising the room, and whether a school-run parent can still find a chair. Chains are listed when they are part of how a town actually works.
