Omboo at Sopwell House

Sopwell House is a Georgian country retreat which was once the country home of Lord Mountbatten. Nestled within acres of Hertfordshire countryside, the historic Roman town of St Albans is the backdrop to this hotel which combines original features with contemporary design. 

Just 20 minutes from central London and set within rural Hertfordshire, Omboo is bringing a brand-new concept to the area; the first of its kind in St Albans. Whether celebrating a special occasion or meeting friends for a mid-week treat, Omboo offers the perfect setting, with a buzzing atmosphere, lively music and relaxed service.

Designed to encourage interaction and conversation between guests, there are no set starters or mains and each mouth-watering dish on the menu is delivered to the table as soon as it is ready, to be shared and enjoyed by all. Expertly prepared and plated by Chef Derrick Chen and his kitchen team, dishes include, sashimi, tataki and maki rolls. Farm and Ocean specialities feature succulent seared wagu and delicious Jumbo prawn, served with lily bulb & almond. Plant based options see warm aubergine cooked in a sweet chili soy, grilles asparagus sprinkled with a miso dust and lotus root served with asparagus and cloud ear fungus.
