There is a warm welcome here and a menu to suit all the family. The Sunday roast was excellent value for money. We are planning our next visit

A very tasty meal of Fish and chips at the Nags head. Crispy batter and crunchy chips. Good choices on the menu including Sunday lunch specials. Plenty of parking in their own car park. Another fabulous meal at the nags head, prices are still very good. Recently visited again and had a vegetable curry for under a tenner.

Very poor service and average food.Children had to wait for more than 45 minutes to get their burgers delivered.We were there at a very quiet less time around 4pm. Completely ignored our table. Plenty more to write..Will not go to that place ever...

Great service, disappointed some menu items were not available. It got very busy for a midweek lunchtime, albeit during Xmas school holidays. Unfortunately most of the food was only lukewarm when served. No-one checked we were ok after the food was served. Menu is interesting, but we probably won't go back.

Nice place for a drink and food, only downside we asked for a bowl of chips for me and my brother to share and was a tiny little 'bucket' with a about 20 chips in, nice chips but very small portion, and not a drop of salt n vinegar in sight

Popped in for coffee, however couldn't escape the awful music, it wasn't busy, in fact we were the only people at one time, asked for music to be turned off, couldn't do that, couldn't turn it down either, area manager's rules. Not very customer focused!

We had lunch booked for 3.00. I can understand running out of some of the roast meats.. but to run out of roast potatoes shows a lack of planning. All meals were served mashed potato. However when it came, it was a lump of tasteless stodge lacking seasoning and butter or milk to give it taste and texture. The waitress didn't look surprised to see mine , minus one mouthful, didn't left on the plate. Our mixed chicken shared starters were deep fried and tasty. The waffle a sugary sweet confection. Fabulous service in a lovely setting, let down by the food

Lovely lovely place. Good food, kind and efficient staff, welcoming atmosphere, reasonable prices. We dropped by en route Suffolk to Kent, avoiding service stations. One burger, steak and ale pie, and kids fish fingers later we were nicely satisfied with quality and quantity. Onto the puddings...delicious! Our waitress was lovely and very welcoming, engaging with our 3 year and 2 month old alike. The whole thing made us feel a lot more relaxed on our journey and service was prompt.

We Pre-booked our visit to the Nags Head for seven of us. There's plenty of free parking available on arrival. We were seated immediately with no fuss, our table was prepared and ready for us all. Drinks orders were taken promptly and a little time was given to us all to decide our starters and main courses. 2 of our party were Vegan and there is a good choice of options even on the standard menu. Starters, Mains and desserts all had good vegan (and vegetarian) options. Starters were delivered and enjoyed, then shortly afterwards once the table was cleared we were asked if we were ready for our mains which were all brought out together. Clean plates all round is testament to the quality of the meals we all enjoyed, and the staff are delightfully friendly and polite. All of us enjoyed our visit and the food in a friendly atmosphere.

We were staying at the Ramada at stanstead services and as it’s just a 20min walk to the Nags head thought we’d try it, lovely friendly staff and good food, we had starters which were good size portions and then the Ribs and a chicken burger, all came piping hot and very tasty. We will definitely return.

The food was absolutely outstanding, the staff were warm and welcoming and made the over all experience one that I will definitely be looking to repeat. A special thank you to Neil who made our meal here one to remember. Want a burger that is value for money with a side of friendly staff? Come down to the Nags Head for a meal you won’t want to miss out on!

We missed a turning on the M1 and accidentally found ourselves having a full English breakfast in the Nags Head Pub. It's an absolute treat. A feast for the eyes. Beautiful art deco pub, built as a pub not a lido, which it is very reminiscent of. This should be a destination pub, add in a walk round Hatfield Forest. An absolute treat.

Had lunch with friends. the portion sizes were huge. The steak i had was like leather, i couldnt even chew it, when i mentioned this to the waitress she replied 'we dont know how tough its going to be until its cooked' ! Really... the care to detail wasnt there on this occasion, the service was very sloppy. I have been coming here for 20 years plus and this had to be the worst experience we had of a lunch... Our coffees were taken off the bill at the end free of charge, but shouldnt they have thought to have taken 'my meal 'off the price instead... Unfortunately we wont be going back.

We was s group of 25 and not 1 person said it was normal nice. Service was good. Never again !
