Horse and Jockey in Central Bedfordshire

Absolutely fantastic service! Our waitress Jade was, as always, friendly, attentive, and made our experience at the pub restaurant truly enjoyable. She was quick to recommend menu items and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, but never interrupted. Her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm created such a welcoming atmosphere. The food was great, but her service made our visit memorable. We’d definitely come back thanks to her!

I visited here with one of my best friends at breakfast time. Absolutely loved the food, cooked to how we wanted it. We also loved the fact that we weren't rushed in any way.

I come to the Horse and Jockey regularly with my family and came on the weekend for a roast. It was lovely and the service was great. Thankyou to Dean, Mo and Jade.

On entry had a very nice welcome from bar staff. Was seated very quickly and food order was taken within 3-5 mins. Ordered 8oz sirloin which was freshly cooked to perfection. Compliments to Daniel the chef and to the welcoming waitress Jenai and bar gentleman. 5 stars.

My wife and I regularly dine at this restaurant and are always impressed with the service and the food. The prices of what is on offer are also very reasonable.

For the past 14 years, my wife and I have been having dinner at the Horse & Jockey three or four times annually. We have invariably been pleased with the food quality and service. This evening we were very disappointed to find that we couldn't finish off our meal with our traditional Cappuccino - the reason was that the manager had turned the coffee machine off. It was only 8:40 pm and there were still other customers eating! With all of Whitbread's experience in hospitality, how could it possibly allow such poor customer service?

Just had the best roast dinner ever, very tasty and filling enjoyed every bit of it. And as always great service welldone to the chefs and bar staff for a fantastic dining experience.

We came to the Horse and Jockey for a family birthday meal, there was 17 of us and we had a lovely afternoon. Despite us being a large table the food came out very quickly and was lovely and hot. The staff were very busy but they continued to ensure our drinks were topped up throughout.

Positive experience, great food & the service was very good. Waitress checked in on plenty of occasions & the food was lovely & hot.

Dean and his team made my elderly mums birthday meal very special. There was a box of celebrations on the table and the service, food and atmosphere was wonderful. A really special afternoon with all the family, thank you!

Lovely meal for Father’s day, compliments to the chefs and our server Annette. The service was quick and the food was served quickly and hot despite being so busy.

I came into the horse and jockey today with my husband for a late lunch. The food was okay, but upon entry we were shocked to see the kitchen staff sat down watching football with pints of beer. I wouldn’t have thought this behaviour would be acceptable in this sort of business. Over all the experience was okay, our waitress Jenay was lovely.

Yet again a great Sunday lunch. The staff here are lovely, great efficient service and always so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. We are regulars here and highly recommend it, great food , excellent value.

Great place, friendly staff and a good menu. Competitively priced. We’re regular visitors there, and will continue to be so.

A lovely gem of a place where the food is high quality and the staff and service are 5 stars. I would highly recommend this place. A great place to unwind after a long journey or hard days work.

Dining on my own and had a great server, Daniel, who made sure that I had everything that I needed and made me a fantastic dessert. Thanks Daniel. Food was good and felt comfortable eating on my own, Over all a good experience and one that I will repeat.

stopped off for a quick bite to eat. the food was great, but the service was the best bit!! if you’re coming here, 100% recommend jenai as your server. Top notch! 👌🏼 I shall return..

Thankyou Ayona for your friendly service today. We had a lovely meal for My Mum's birthday. The whole team were so friendly, we had such great service and the surprise gift the cherry on the cake. Thankyou to you all.

Daniel our server was awesome, on hand to help us order our foods.. polite and helpful .. made our nigjt with his quirky chats

This restaurant is absolutely amazing and simply the best so far that I have tried , the food quality , ambiance , standard and portion is spot on . I am Head Chef at one of Berkhamsted finest restaurant so my expectations are high and indeed they were met . Our server “Leneena” had grate knowledge of the menu and was very pleasant especially with my kids she made our night really special . We will definitely be back …….

Great food, the staff were very friendly. Shout out to Mo the chef who cooked my steak to perfection. Better than any other dinner pub in the area

Excellent service from our waitress Jenai. All the girls who work here are very good with special mention for Tina & Anette.

1st time at this pub, just turned up and was greeted by a lovely, friendly waitress called Jenai, the restaurant was nice and clean, it was quite busy but the service by Jenai was excellent! There was another lovely, friendly waitress, not sure off her name but she was very nice. Food was lovely and hot, thank you chef, had 3 course meal at such a fantastic price. Wine was very nice as well. Booked already for Sunday lunch, can’t wait! Would highly recommend.

The Food is excellent ... we were made to feel very welcome by Annette our waitress.. Will definitely come here again They also offer a card to save points on to get discounts on meals ... Well worth having

Great food! Daniel was a lovely waiter and we had a good laugh!! Would deffo come back :) It has a lovely atmosphere and Daniel thinks my name is pretty <3

Excellent food brilliant service great value for money a fantastic experience altogether Luke and all staff friendly & welcoming went above and beyond to make our evening enjoyable

The horse and Jockey has become our favourite place to eat, the food is always good and is excellent value. Since we discovered it a while back we have dined there a couple of times a week and have never had a bad meal. The staff are great, always so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We usually go for lunch and can highly recommend the Sunday roasts and lunch time menu. We also booked a family Christmas meal in December, everyone agreed it was a great success and we will book again for this year. Yesterday we went for the three course Mother's day menu and, although they were fully booked and very busy, we were given the same excellent service and quality of food we normally receive. The staff took it all in their stride, were polite, helpful and friendly and more importantly worked well as a team so all our courses were served quickly. The food, as usual was delicious. Looking forward to our next visit 😊😋

Went for a lovely Mother’s Day meal.Food and service was excellent. Very well organised by Dean and lovely atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will definitely be going back soon! 😊

Had a lovely mother’s day 3 course meal with family, food was cooked perfectly by Dean, Mo and Gary and service was excellent by Jess and Jade, highly recommend!

Breakfast was lovely Tina was helpful in all ways all round great experience !big thanks to everyone who helped aswell!Will be back soon

Lovely breakfast, wide variety of food to choose from …really nice food and our waitress Tina was so accommodating and professional x Thank you 😊

Afternoon tea, pleasant surprise! me my sister and our parents arrived for afternoon tea on a rainy luchtime. Staff very welcoming and showed us to our table. Restaurant was nice and warm and we were shown to a window seat. Our drinks order was taken and our food arrived within around 15 minutes perfect! Plenty of sandwiches, coronation chicken, ham and tomato, cheese and cucumber, all very fresh. Scone and cream (scone very nice) (Jam wasn’t on the stand but the waitress bought it over when we asked) lemon drizzle cake, fresh strawberries and a chocolate millionaire shortbread cake all very nice! Also we had pots of tea and a latte! For £7.50 per head would definitely recommend! We could have had a bottle of Proseccos for £10 but we didn’t as we were all driving.

Food ok but small amount. Skinny chips and veg is limited to peas for all dishes where veg is appropriate. Building outside and inside is worse for wear. Not been here for some time and definitely noticed the difference, shabby.

Had a lovely peaceful night with great food and a couple of drinks. A member of the bar staff was of sick but Dean done a great job of keeping everything running smoothly.

I’m not usually a fan of these Tabletop Table restaurants but have this one a go whilst stopping in the hotel next door. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice warm welcome, good service and a decent meal. The ribs were very nice.

We had a lovely family christmas dinner, wonderful service from Annette and the team. Food was lovely, hot and tasty. We come here often and the atmosphere is lovely.

Went with bf, daughter and grandson. We ordered for the toddler first. Despite paying for the meal, they forgot about it. Not sure if this is because we were eating in the beer garden. Half an hour after paying I went to bar to chase...
