A new 'music-led' restaurant is opening in St Albans, with Hazéls set to open its doors tomorrow (July 17).

Located at 5 Verulam Road, the restaurant's unique selling point is its focus on music, as well as its wine bar and French inspired menu.

Chef Drew Knight's menu will use fresh and seasonal produce, with the promise of an ever-changing menu.
