Editor's PickThe Silver Cup is, without a doubt, our favorite place in Harpenden. Combining Michelin-level cooking from Matt with warm, family-style hospitality from Olivia, this Common-side gem has marked all our family’s milestones—and remains one of the absolute best reasons we call this town home.

After years of hearing about it from everyone else in Harpenden, we finally made it to Bar Azita on Station Road for a child-free lunch. Tapas, cheap cocktails and a bill that came in lower than expected: a slightly slow welcome aside, it's easy to see why the place is packed.

Perched at the top of the High Street, Tabure delivers a slick, pastel-hued sanctuary of exceptional Levantine dining. From puffed-to-order pita bread to knockout chargrilled chicken, it is the ultimate destination for a midweek date night away from the chaos of family life.
