There is one way to a man's heart - through his stomach. Show your father your appreciation by treating him to a full traditional breakfast at The Akeman, or enjoy lunch or dinner in the restaurant with some of our favourite dishes, including our tender, premium quality steaks, our signature homemade steak burger, or one of our best sellers - pork belly and mash. We'll also be serving our fabulous Sunday roasts, with Aubrey Allen meat, crispy roast potatoes, large Yorkshires, three vegetable sides and lashings of gravy, or try our special of the day - steak and Tring Brewery ale pie. All you need is a pint of real ale to top off the day.
