Where every occasion becomes a memorable experience
At the heart of Tring, Hertfordshire, lies a gem of a venue that has been delighting customers for over a decade. The Akeman, built on the ancient Roman road of Akeman Street in 1901, reopened its doors in 2007, offering a unique blend of rich history, stunning architecture, and exceptional dining experience. Our vision was to create an environment where like-minded people could come together to enjoy some great food and drinks while catching up with friends, family, neighbours, and colleagues.
