Wow, this restaurant is brilliant! We discovered it via Facebook. The menu for adults and kids looked so delicious that I booked it for our wedding anniversary. My husband and 8-year-old son went for Sunday lunch and I'm so glad we did. The minute we arrived we felt thoroughly spoilt. I had mentioned that it was our anniversary and the restaurant owners had a special treat for us ready on arrival. There were so many delicious options on the menu, we had Sunday roast (the best I had in forever!!!). My son had the chicken burger. The team were so friendly. When we had forgotten to mention that our son doesn't like mayo, his burger bun was replaced without any fuzz. We had the loveliest of desserts and we decided immediately we would return. The food is delicious, the restaurant's atmosphere is just brilliant and the team is outstanding. Great value for money. I can highly recommend you try this place.

Was a little disappointed. Although the food was hot it seemed that the same sauces were used over multiple dishes (mains and desserts). I suppose I enjoy food with strong flavours and overall the food was a little bland. I cannot fault the place for the friendly welcome and our orders were taken accurately but somehow I feel there is something missing for it to be a truly excellent restaurant. One thing I would say was it was remarkably quiet for a Saturday night.

Fabulous local restaurant. Lovely to have a good restaurant that we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep although there is limited parking outside, more on local side roads if you struggle to find space. The food and service rate very highly, on a par with much more expensive places further afield. We had a selection of starters, prawns in garlic, baked Camembert (to share) and very tasty calamari with yummy garlic mayo. Duck salads x 2 Sea bass and a seafood risotto were all hot, freshly prepared and served by professional, yet friendly, staff. Would highly recommend we all use this little gem. Very good value and lovely touch of an after dinner drink sad, as we didn’t have room for the rather tempting desserts. Next time we’ll definitely leave room.

This evening we strolled around to Herons in Heronsgate again for a Friday night steak and wine extravaganza. The calamari starters portion sizes had shrunk a little since our last visit but still tasty on a bed of rocket with sublime dip. My sirloin steak was generously proportioned and cooked to perfection. Peppercorn sauce side was delicious and the fries crispy and ample. Great service, friendly manager / waiter and overall top marks!

One of the thing which I love when travelling to different countries is possibilitie to try different kitchen. This time My friend recommended me Herons restaurant, it has new management since February. From what I saw each meal is freshly made from the scratch and believe me it is worth to wait 100% We had steak, sea food risotto, burger ❤️ and of course deserts - Banofie pie, apple tart tart in and browni - all beautifully made. The restaurant takes bookings, very busy during Saturday and Sunday from what I saw - it is worth to give a call earlier. If you are in a neighbourhood or even have to travel a bit make sure to visit this place, I am sure you won’t regret it.

Sadly disappointed. We read the rave reviews for Herons Restaurant Chorleywood and so we were excited to try it out. We stopped off at The Stag for a pre-dinner drink beforehand. It was a Wednesday night, and when we arrived at Herons at 7 pm we were the only patrons in the restaurant. Drinks and food orders were taken swiftly and we were pleased to have the complimentary bread and olives before our meal. The “crispy” calamari starter was chewy and the duck salad starter was tough also, which was a disappointing beginning. I ordered a Prosecco for the starter and when this glass was empty snd cleared away I was not offered another drink. Instead, 10 minutes later we had to get the attention of the waitress to order another drink. I would have thought that if you had cleared away an empty glass you would automatically offer another drink? Mains: the brisket was largely enjoyed and the sauce particularly tasty. The rib eye at £24 was very disappointing. I don’t usually order steak unless we are in a steak restaurant, however, the reviews had been largely good so I took a chance. I ordered medium-rare but it felt more like medium. All I could taste was charred meat and not much else. I shared with my husband and he felt the same, the steak just tasted burnt. Such a shame. We opted not to have dessert. £85 later and to be honest we should’ve stayed at The Stag. Sadly we won’t return.
