Darcy's in Dacorum

Celebrated my FIL’s birthday here which was very nice and enjoyable. I ordered the squid ink paella and even though my tongue turned black the from food, I loved every single bite. It was my first time having this dish and it didn’t disappoint.

Fabulous first time. Emma was a lovely host and Nicky made beautiful teas! Definitely will visit again soon.

Definitely recommend, beautiful setting and even better food

Amazing staff and made the kids feel like it was a little mini holiday for them! Thank you x

We had a lovely evening, food was superb, the wine was delightful, lovely atmosphere and great service. Would highly recommend.

Second time at Darcy’s and both times the food, drink, service, atmosphere has been INCREDIBLE. I absolutely LOVE this place, couldn’t recommend it enough.

First time here. Fantastic food and service from Richard and Alex

Came here as a very large group roughly 40+ and the service,attention to detail and food were all 5 stars.Very positive experience and will definitely be returning soon!Would definitely recommend:)

Cannot recommend this place enough! It’s cosy and lovely decorated. We had the Tapas and it was utterly beautiful. Thank you. The staff, wow, they are all so wonderful, helpful and friendly!!!

Our waiter Richard was great very enthusiastic and helpful made our night

Amazing Thursday night at Darcy’s great food , attentive. Staff who catered for my gluten and other intolerances can highly recommended

Had Brunch after mass there with my husband. Pleasantly surprised with our meal. Good service Very accommodating staff, the boss was there and he was very helpful. I got the summer brunch (even though it’s winter) and it was lovely.

This was our first visit to Darcy’s after moving to the area. We spent last weekend in Spain and it’s fair to say the paella we had tonight was far nicer than any we had last week. We also had chorizo & squid of the tapas menu, followed by churros & red velvet cake for dessert. All truly delicious. Staff are super friendly too! We will definitely be coming again soon

Hidden gem. Girlfriend had a lovely birthday breakfast. Dog friendly as well, Puka loved his treat. Emma was a lovely lady. Very caring and made sure all our needs are meet. Definitely recommend this place to all my friends. And will come again :)

Lovely drinks, lovely food and fantastic service, recommend

Went as a family of 10 lovely atmosphere very relaxed: some of us had tapas which was tasty and some had main meals off the menu which was all fresh cooked food. Good range of drinks and the kids loved that Their was churros on the pudding menu. Will definitely be coming back staff very friendly and helpful

I love Darcy’s. My favourite café / restaurant. Amazing food. Amazing staff and atmosphere. Great gluten free and vegan options.

Came for breakfast, food and service was perfect. Kiran and the team looked after us really well.

16/1/2025 - What an amazing place!! We stoped by chance on our way back from dropping our son at Heathrow Airport and we are so glad we did!! It’s a lovely place, really nice location, and the ladies toilet was quirky with fabulous wallpaper! The food was wonderful and the staff were brilliant too 🤩 Very reasonable price wise and we will definitely be back. We will highly recommend you! Thank you Lee and Lisa x x

Kieran and team did a good job!!

Even though the food, atmos and service are amazing, this place is a secret... Stay AWAY!

Love it here team are always so friendly and the cocktails are amazing 👏 Great value for money, try the bottomless brunch it's great.

Wanted to share how amazing Our Christmas do for our local networking group was at Darcy’s Help with menus selections drinks and arranging it was amazing. The service on the day was fantastic and could not fault anything. Drinks flowing and the amount of food was immense Would highly recommend this restaurant

Kieran and the team were great for my friends and I who went for dinner in December. Lots of great cocktails and good food, plus they sang me happy birthday and gave me a free cake - will return and highly recommend.

Would 100% recommend. Been here a few times for drinks but this was my first time eating. Food was delicious, portion size was great, drinks as always tasted amazing. Perfect for a girls lunch.

i finished my whole meal. that never happens. #amazing #loveyouguys #bestcafeeverrrrr

Beautiful hidden gem for a brunch! A quirky upbeat restaurant with amazing food. Della & Richard were fantastic. We will be back ❤️

Lovely little tapas restaurant at Apsley Dock. They offer a separate gluten-free menu to cater to those with intolerances. Waiters/waitresses were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The reason for 4-stars on food is that although the chips are gluten-free, they are cooked in the same fryer, so my nephew with coeliac disease couldn't have them - he had to settle for egg, bread & aioli for Sunday dinner. The apple strudel was then also unavailable, so we had the strawberry cheesecake - very nice and well presented, but my sister's was oddly lacking the biscuit base.

Great service, great food, great ambiance. A newly discovered gem in the area - will definitely visit soon! One small thing that was not ideal was that I came back home smelling very heavily of cooked oil (which I only realised at home) - would benefit from some better ventilation.

Miles from home, we discovered this pretty little Bisro/cafe. We will go back for food another day, but the staff are really friendly and they make a fabulous cocktail. Highly recommend the Strawberry pina colada, yummie!!!!! 😋🍹 💖✨️

Really pleasantly surprised by Darcy’s, was staying in a local hotel and fancied tapas. The food was superb, really tasty and extremely generous portions for tapas, we actually couldn’t finish all we’d ordered, which was a shame. Lovely, friendly staff and a great location on the canal. Very much recommended.

What a great find, from the décor to the relaxed atmosphere & friendly staff, but most of all the top quality, well presented food was amazing!! Thanks a million Emma, for looking after us so brilliantly, you were a real superstar!!

Excellent food at good value! Breakfast is especially great. Excellent service from all the staff & Kieran - recommend!

Kieran and the team did a great job. We really enjoyed our visit to DARCEYS. The food and drinks were delicious. I would definitely recommend a visit here

Great service, amazing food and very reasonably priced.

Thanks to Danny and the team for a lovely meal

Highly recommend such a great place to come.Had breakfast and the food was amazing. I had the chorizo baked eggs, which was sooooo good 10/10 my wife had smashed avocado 🥑 again 10/10. Staff amazing. warm welcome, friendly, very helpful If you haven't been, go try this little gem you won't be disappointed

Lovely food and ambience, great service. Really recommend this place. Nice way to spend a lunchtime

This is our first visit and we have been very impressed. Such friendly and efficient service, especially from Charlotte. Will highly recommend Darcy’s to our friends.

Lovely food and service. Really gorgeous decor

Amazing happy, friendly staff, delicious food and huge portions. Beautifully decorated with great atmosphere! Can't fault the place.

Managed to get a table, had a lovely meal for the four of us (my veggie one was ace), plus a few glasses of…. Friendly nice staff and will be going back again

TL;DR - looks great, but food isn't great Been here a couple of times now. Restaurant is well decorated and looks lovely! Service is impeccable, waiters & waitresses always ensuring you're being served! Meal presentation is excellent BUT unfortunately the food itself just isn't very good. It looks fantastic but doesn't taste fantastic. Slightly better if you order just tapas but very underwhelming given the reviews.

The wife found this place on insta. So me and the family went for brunch. Lovely service, great food and all for a decent price .

Great and helpful staff. Very friendly and welcoming

Excellent service especially Amy So many different kinda sauces

Nice restaurant with cozy vibe and excellent service and food. Thanks Amy for providing such a great experience

Made our Christmas meal very special with fantastic service and scrumptious food. Special thanks to Dela and Richard 🙏🏻

We had such a wonderful birthday brunch at Darcy’s. The venue is gorgeous, added by being served by Kieran and Emma who went above and beyond for us, giving me an unexpected birthday cake with a sparkler to go with. The food was delicious and it was just a really lovely birthday brunch. I highly recommend making a visit there!

Lovely lovely place, food and staff!

Had a pleasant time at this place but on top of great food the service was very nice and Emma made us feel welcomed from the door.

Absolutely divine I’m so coming back think I might be addicted to their food

We had a great time and Madi was a fantastic host.

Thanks to Kieron and the team for a brilliant brunch, food and service were absolutely spot on, thank you.

Me and my mum had a great evening, food was wonderful and the waiter was very friendly, funny and welcoming. We shall be back again.

Madi was awesome! Such good service! A beautiful restaurant and such fun. Highly recommend

Amazing service and location thanks Madi

Fabulous evening! Maddie and Kieran were the best and couldn’t do enough for us. We had a party of 10 and everyone thought the food was amazing! Thanks so much!!

Fitted us in even though fully booked after a disappointment with a booking nearby. Food was amazing and service was awesome. Thanks guys we'll be back very soon but we'll book this time.

First time visiting Darcy's, the food was superb, the staff were absolutely lovely, would 💯% recommend, I will definitely return.

Maddie, Amy and Dimitrious were fantastic, will definitely recommend this place and come back soon

I came here for lunch and the food was absolutely amazing!! 😍 The resturant has such lovely decor it's very pretty to be in. However, the wait staff made the whole experience a bit stressful. They were hovering right by the table for most of the meal, they started taking a plate as soon as someone finished the meal and multiple times, tried to take plates and cups before we were finished eating. I felt like I had to guard my plate and drink such that I felt I couldn't relax. We weren't overstaying our welcome, we had the table booked for 12pm and were told they needed it back at 1.30pm, we left well before that, so it baffles me and why they seemed to be so overbearing. Edit : came back again (maybe a year later), much better service, have changed my opinion, would reccomend this place now.

Lovely evening, lovely food, lovely service. Very welcoming and well looked after. Lovely supper 😀

Tasty food and wonderful service.

Great atmosphere, food, and friendly service

The place is so nice and the food too.

Lovely food, excellent service my favourite place to brunch 5 stars everytime! Emma was the perfect waitress, very attentive and wonderfully polite and friendly! Will be back soon!

Gorgeous restaurant and ambiance. Food first class and will definitely return again

Hidden Gem! Such an amazing experience from start to finish. Amazing food, so fresh and tasty. Customer service was first class! The attention to detail of every point was amazing 10/10 wish we lived closer to go again

Amazing!!!! Birthday brunch, what a beautiful restaurant, everything was perfect, fantastic service provided by Manager Kieron & his team, able to stay on table a few more hours as special occasion, delicious food & the best decaf coconut milk latte I’ve ever had great coffee, highly recommend! Thank you Jewels xx

I recently visited Darcy’s, and I can’t recommend this café enough! From the moment I stepped in, the warm, inviting atmosphere set the tone for a great experience. The menu offered a fantastic variety of breakfast and café options, all crafted with care and bursting with flavor. A special shoutout goes to Kieron, whose service truly stood out. He was attentive, personable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Whether it was recommending the best items on the menu or checking in with the perfect balance of attentiveness, Kieron made us feel so welcome and valued. Would recommend to friends and family.

Had a lovely evening at Darcys, great service and food/ drinks will certainly be back soon

Food and service was really good. We really enjoyed the ambience as well.

Great friendly service with a smile from Kieran! Amazing food and drinks as always x

We recently had our Xmas party at Love Darcy and were thoroughly impressed. The service was outstanding, especially thanks to Kieran, whose friendly and attentive approach made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was exquisite—freshly prepared and bursting with flavour. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience. Highly recommend Love Darcy for anyone looking for great food and superb service!

Had a really enjoyable burrata salad . Food was great along with very friendly great service. I love it there . A really lovely restaurant in a great location .

Is so good. The food and drinks are amazing. People are very nice and friendly . And it was very cozy.❤️

Group of 9 family and kids visited here before Harry Potter World. I specifically chose this venue as one of the kids is Coeliac and they have a great Gluten Free menu. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed every dish but the service was exceptional! They really looked after us and were wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone especially if visiting HP World as it's only 15 mins away.

We’re very busy for brunch but still made space for a table of 2! Cute and pink cafe! Will definitely be back here! Food was good. Service quick and prompt and lovely atmosphere!
