Galley Hall in Broxbourne

We came for a Christmas meal. Initially when driving in, was thankful for a large car park - but people had left such large gaps between vehicles I ended up sitting in car waiting for someone to leave. Once parked, went in and was told where our table was. We had pre-ordered so you need to remember what you asked for (I just about remembered what I fancied 2 months previous when we ordered!!) They had no copies of the menu on hand to remind you. Food itself was really nice, they provided some extra gravy with the dinner in case we wanted it - which was nice. Not much waiting around either, in fact we had to tell them to give us an extra 10 mins between mains and deserts! Nice place, and I wouldn't mind coming back to try a normal meal at some point when it's not quite so busy.

Their roasts are the best I have ever had! It's worth every penny and the atmosphere and service is spot on!

I want to say big thank you to all the members of staff at the Galley Hall. we had our Christmas Pilates do their last Thursday. We had two courses from there Christmas fair menu, which we could either have starter main or main and dessert which isn’t always an option at every restaurant, I had prawn cocktail and roast turkey. Turkey was lovely. The roast potatoes were crispy and lots of gravy which I love The staff where incredibly warm and friendly and really looked after us. There is lovely fire on when you walk in. A very christmassy family run pub. I have also been in the summer when a band was playing and that was great fun..

Great pub and restaurant, friendly staff.

Our large group came for Xmas dinner, on the11th Decem ber. Sorry to say prawn cocktail was dismal. Vegetables umder cooked and food extremly salty. Desert was very good. After talking to others in our group they had the same experience.One person told me the Brussels were like bullets.

Lovely pub and chain free food.

Nice atmosphere a good pub, with good honest, reasonable priced food and lovely staff. Have been here time and again and will keep going.

Always a warm welcome at 'The Galley'. A nice selection of real ales and a good menu with a long list of daily specials to meet every taste, lunchtime & evening.

We had a delicious roast there. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great food. My steak was cooked exactly like I wanted! Friendly service. Delicious desserts

Brilliant. Food lovely excellent.

Very good vegetarian/vegan choice....vegan shepherds pie was delicious! Good menu choice... advise booking as gets busy even on a weekday.

Came here for Sunday Lunch. Not good. To start with, we were seated in an area which felt like sitting in an annexed office. No curtains with a view to the smoking area. Roast Potatoes not roasted enough, parsnips which is an extra side dish appeared just boiled and hardly roasted. Cauliflower cheese which is an extra side dish had a watery sauce with very little cheese taste. The beef rib was flavourless and tough and grisly in places and the plate was swimming with a watery gravy. Gravy should be served separately. The Yorkshire puddings were obviously bought in. Not a great dining experience.

Lovely local pub, superb facilities, excellent food, staff bootiful... kid friendly, enjoy...

Best Sunday Roast hands down...and they serve Abbott Ale...Happy days!

We booked a room at the Galley Hall for our wedding reception and everything was first class. The buffet we booked was plentiful, the attitude of the staff was excellent, they controlled the ‘money behind the bar’ that we had. All the staff were very helpful leading up to the wedding and also on the day itself. Nothing was too much trouble for them. One member of staff even helped carry the wedding cake out to the car! Thanks very much for making our day perfect. I would totally recommend the place , it was value for money too. Thanks again

Love this place... My only problem is that the apple and almond pie isn't always on the menu, it's fantastic!

Amazing service amazing homemade food good value for what you get it's just quality all round

Family reunion Sunday lunch Table reserved for 9 of us All.wanting a roast which was fine for adults but no kids roast broccoli and carrots was hard it.was inedible. Gravy was very very salty Had to pay extra for stuffing and parsnips as apparently they not part of a roast For the price if the meal is definitely wasn't worth it 4 meal come out completely wrong and had to go back including a vegetarian options shocking

Very pleasant staffs. And the food was nice too. I recommend it…

Really excellent food, however the pricing of starters and Deserts are too high £7.50 for 3 gujons ??

Disgusted charged £3 for a lime and soda

Great value for such quality food. A real find and we shall definitely return. We noticed there is live music too so we're excited to visit for that also.

Great food and service as always

Had my husband’s 70th birthday party here. The hall was brilliant and had easy access to the patio area, which we had a couple of tables reserved for us. We could get into the hall in the morning to decorate with balloons etc. we had to remove all these straight after the party which was no problem. We did our own music and used their speaker on Bluetooth, which worked very well. The food (cold buffet) we couldn’t find fault with, everything was delicious and well displayed. We had plenty of comments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed all the food. We had about 50 people and catered for 40 also had the vegan platter, which was especially lovely (and I’m not vegan) it was more than enough food. Bill and all the staff were lovely and made us feel very welcomed. Such a great venue, definitely recommend Galley Hall.

Food was lovely and staff were very kind. Service was reasonably quick too and the atmosphere was very laid back and relaxing. Would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely pub and restaurant. Very friendly, prompt service both food and drink. Excellent selection of beer, including draught 0% lager. Very useful if one is driving. Food was superb and both food and drink very reasonably priced. Good space both inside and outside. The very friendly welcome I received guarantees I will be visiting again. Great place 👍

This visit was for my fathers wake but still, great service and food with a nice function room and space to sit outside.

The Galley Hall is always top drawer for service, drinks, food and comfort.

Went for dinner Thursday evening with some friends Food was amazing Meals were spot on and desserts were unreal Reasonable prices too

Had my father’s wake there today. The staff were lovely and the buffet was excellent!

Very Happy to go again it was a lovely Friendly time

I had 40th birthday party here and the team couldn’t have done more to help and the party was a great success! Would definitely recommend for functions 5 stars!

Really nice place. The food is goid and the service is great.

An excellent eating out experience. Will go back ASAP

Great place, staff are so lovely and friendly. Live music was fab!! Food is so good! Definately recommend the Galley Hall 😊

We went as a family of 6. Excellent meals and efficient service.Will go again. P.Thompson

Great atmosphere and lovely food

The Galley Hall has become our go to pub for an excellent lunch, we have also enjoyed a Sunday roast, hallelujah somewhere that knows what a roast potato and seasoning is, veggies were lovely, I enjoyed a vegetarian roast which was wholesome, hot and served with a delicious gravy, not some thin flavoured water, generous portions and staff are always friendly and welcoming, just save room if you can for pudding. Best lasagne Verdi I’ve had ever, thick rich sauce, dreamy cheese topping nicely prepped lasagne, not swimming in water and no slimy lasagne sheets and hoooorah proper chips, delicious…..no over thick undercooked wedges or something pretending to be a chip…just great chips, couldn’t be happier…..thanks Galley Hall, great service, warm and friendly welcome……will be coming back quite a lot……

Great home cooked meals especially desserts prices resonable to staff very friendly and helpful love going there for a Sunday roast

Enjoyed a wedding here, very nice venue.

We booked the Galley Hall to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were welcomed and shown to our table as soon as we arrived. Drinks order was taken and menus given. The staff were very friendly, food was hot plentiful, We were made to feel most welcome. Would recommend without a second thought. We will definitely go back again.

Dreadful food. The children's food was burnt, chips were like cardboard. I ordered scampi and the waitress tried to insist I said lamb which I absolutely did not. Perhaps she needs her ears syringed Was told I would have to wait for my meal to which I said OK. It wasn't worth the wait it was hardly scampi more coating than scampi. I am not one to usually complain but this was beyond a joke.

Fantastic place attend a wedding. Would definitely recommend.

Always a pleasure going here, been my local for nearly 10 years and the staff have always made us feel welcome. The food selection is fantastic and service is always on point. They have live music nights and a huge garden with outdoor bar to enjoy the summer evenings. Highly recommend

The experience was pleasant but everything was just ok. The food was ok, hot and plentiful but nothing exceptional. The service was polite and quick

I adore this pub, it's my local and I'm so grateful. 5 stars all round

Great meal (large portion, perfectly cooked!) at a fair price and good service.

Sunday roast was disappointing. Meat was tough roast potatoes very hard going late in the afternoon was a mistake.

Great family pub, just like back in the day

Like this pub but the fish pie I had tonight was pretty poor … £16!! Poor value really disappointed .. too much cheese and mash very little fish

Enjoyed a lovely family meal today at Galley Hall. Food was fresh and delicious. Very reasonably priced and all staff friendly and helpful. The Hot Cross Bun Pudding was delightful.

Helping a DJ wasn't the greatest experience getting in because you have to park in the pub car park then carry your equipment all the way down a slope

Always serves lovely, fresh food and generous portions. I love their desserts, especially the homemade cheesecakes.

We was really looking forward to having a nice lunch here for a family reunion however, never have we witnessed such poor attitudes from the staff (except for 1 nice friendly member of staff towards the end of our meal). Very rude, impatient, obviously very stressed, kept pushing past us, faces like thunder and extremely unhelpful. Never experienced anything like it. Clearly can’t cope with big bookings!!

Great place for a family gathering, about 20 of us this time, friendly staff, good food, nice atmosphere, def recommended. Been here a number of times, will be back again.

Nice place for a Sunday lunch but make sure to book a table

A superb pub and restaurant. Staff are so friendly

Three lovely meal. Three not so much today. Disappointed this time, overall half of meals were enjoyed other half not up to standard for the price charged. Such a shame. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Food let down on this occasion 😔

Love this place! I have been coming here for years. They are so friendly and the food is great. Last night was Burns Night and the haggis was the best I have ever tasted.

A great place for a meal, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great. Would recommend this place.

Bowls Club Christmas lunch, we were looked after really well, lovely, friendly Ladies.💕

Just had one of the worst sirloin steaks ever at this place, an awful, inedible cut of meat that any half decent chef would have discarded. First and last time I'll visit the place. Edit: the "replacement" meal was not to my complete satisfaction, and I certainly did not eat "every scrap" of it, although the owner's choice of word ("scrap") adequately describes the quality of their food.

Great pub. Friendly service great atmosphere. Could not stay as long as I wanted as had to go to work. Beer well kept.

Great food, great service and great owners and staff

Recently had an evening meal here. The food was delicious, and not expensive either. Friendly staff. A very popular restaurant/pub so definitely book in advance!

looks good very good service and food

Good food filling portions had special festive burger

Was there for a wake on Friday very nice staff all good ,nice pub and restaurant 👍

Great food but a little pricey. Portion sizes great and staff very friendly. Definitely be returning in the future.

Food fantastic and the service, and a good selection of beers 😄

Good food at a reasonable price

Great food and atmosphere, staff always really nice. Dont want to recommend the place as it will mean others will find out about it

Warm and friendly atmosphere, well presented surroundings with outdoor area and multiple indoor parts. Good choice of beverages and then the food itself, you're in for a treat here as this is high quality food served with a smile. We were a party of six and every meal was perfect and there was even a gluten free Yorkshire pudding option for one of our party. The staff and owners clearly care about their clients and are professional, I would rate this restaurant as one of my absolute favourites and look forward to my next visit. Well done to the team.

Excellent food, service very good. Nice evening

My first visit here & I was quite impressed. The Scampi was very nice & cooked to perfection, & the Guinness was fresh & ice cold. The Ladies serving were very attentive & polite & extremely helpful. Would definitely visit again & would recommend for a pint & some lovely food.

Great night out,lovely staff and friendly customers, tamla motown disco was excellent

We tried the delicious liver & bacon casserole, absolutely delicious & very generous portions. Definitely a jewel in the crown of Hertfordshire . Well worth a visit to sample many of the tasty specials on offer. Can see why it's a very busy place & well worth booking in advance😋

Food was good but shame about the band couldn't hear yourself speak it was too loud

Food is always excellent. Never been disappointed. Good value for money too.

Fantastic staff Fantastic food All round marvelous pub

Nice countryside pub, 10min drive from Hoddesdon town center. Great choice of drinks, friendly staff and big beer garden with a play area for kids

An incredibly wonderful and enjoyable experience...!

Excellent dinners enjoyed by all and very hardworking friendly and attentive staff.

Unfortunately, we were here for a wake. However, the staff were really lovely and friendly. The food that was provided was very nice. Good choice of beers and spirits. All round lovely pub.

Another great meal and wonderful service even though the restaurant was packed, no waiting for our meals. Thank you.

Attended a wake here & staff here very helpful

Really good night Soul singer was fab, pub was packed. Lots of people eating,Food is lovely. Need more live music

Attended the Galley Hall on Friday afternoon for a Wake. Received a very warm welcome from the friendly and attentive staff. The private room, food and service was FIRST CLASS. Thank you. Tim.

Having been a few times for meals I can recommend the food in this pub. The chicken burger had great flavour! What makes this pub special are the staff who are always friendly and accommodating. For that reason and more its a firm favourite of ours. A fantastic function room too which can be rented out for weddings, parties and other events!

Lovely pub with great prices and extremely friendly staff in the bar and the restaurant. The garden is lovely with ample parking. The food is pretty good as well.

A nice local pub/restaurant to spend a few hours.

Popular place. Booked a table seated promptly. Service friendly and efficient. Good size portions.

Our server jasmin was brilliant really funny and friendly food was lovely

Good food excellent value for money

Just had a roast could not eat the potatoes rock hard would definitely not go again £13 down the drain

One of the best pubs in the area

High quality food service. Burger is amazing.

Highly recommend the homemade pie, though I would say make sure you are hungry as its very large.

Well over an hour waiting for food we weren't the only ones complaining either
