We've eaten there several times and it's always excellent but this time we had the tasting menu and it was so good I thought I'd write a little review. Every course was thoughtful, immaculately presented and absolutely delicious. My favourite was the lamb, my wife's was the salmon. The service is efficient, friendly and attentive. The owner in particular makes you feel like you're the guest of honour at a special family event. Excellent as always. I'm very happy to recommend it.

A fantastic restaurant to hold a private party. I celebrated my 60th here and I can’t recommend St James more highly. The owner Alfonso is such a delight and an honourable gentleman to deal with, his whole team were so welcoming and their attention to detail is second to none. On arrival our guests were greeted with Prosecco and a variety of delicious hot and cold canapés. Our daughter has a severe allergy to nuts and seeds and Alfonso made it his mission to make sure everything was totally safe for her to eat. I can’t stress enough how meticulous and how seriously he took this responsibility. This was so reassuring for us. We are so grateful. On our request, Alfonso created the most spectacular Italian themed menu, each and every dish was delicious. The food was served piping hot with all the side orders of perfectly cooked vegetables and French fries. Everyone was served at the same time which was no easy task when serving a lot of people at once. To sum up, we can’t wait to hold another party at St James, all of our friends and family without exception have asked us to do it all again, I guess you can’t have a bigger compliment than that. Thank you Alfonso and all of your wonderful staff for making my birthday party everything and more I could have hoped for. We will be back very soon.

We visited this restaurant as many of our friends and family have highly recommended it. We are a family of four, with two children aged 12 and 11. We were greeted by the owner with a massive smile and good vibes. The service was 10/10 and the food was even better. I explained to the owner my son has ASD and that he is extremely fussy. He went out of his way to cater for his fussy needs. The waiters were attentive, polite and very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Thank you for an amazing time. We will definitely be back very soon!

I believe they have a set menu which brings the price down When we go for a special occasion we normally Tuesday and a car and I think it’s well worth every penny.The quality of the food is always fantastic, and it’s such a lovely place for a celebration meal. Cocktails and wine are yummy, every course perfectly presented and delicious, five stars all round from me and my family. When restaurants get it right it’s fantastic, and they’ve been here for years because they keep getting it right, even during Covid they are following all social distancing protocols carefully.

We visited st James on a Monday for our vegan friends birthday. They did a 7 course taster menu, which I was excited about even as a meat eater.The food was out of this world. The angel hair spaghetti blew me away. I could have eaten four bowls! And the sweet potato pie was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten.We had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Clarence at the end of our meal. He was as excited as us that we had enjoyed our meal.Please try it. You will not be disappointed. Coming from a steak lover! Thanks for a lovely dinner. We will be back and hope others follow!

My husband and I decided to visit this restaurant for a light breakfast. The coffee and croissants were very good. We also came here due to the fact that they were on the "Eat out to help out scheme", we soon found out that they were only doing the 50% off (upto £10.00) on the lunch and dinner menu (apart from the Vegan menu).

Dined here for the first time having driven past it's smart exterior for a number of years. Very pleasant welcome on arrival, service was friendly, attentive and very professional throughout. Helpful recommendations provided on menu choices. Food was of a very good standard, perhaps not Michelin star but as good as far more expensive locations in Central London for a fraction of the price and with the convenience of being in Bushey. Onion tart starter and Eton mess were particularly memorable. Thank you for an extremely agreeable evening St James, we intend to return at the first opportunity! Covid security of a good standard: temperature check, hand sanitiser and contact details of diners taken before entering main restaurant area. All staff wear masks and gloves, menus are on paper and presumably disposed/re-printed to limit spread of anything undesirable. Tables are few given the floor space and distanced from each other.

Wow wow wow! My partner & myself have dined at St James for evening meals on many occasions. We have always had an immensely enjoyable experience. We were delighted to discover that they are now offering a breakfast menu. We immediately booked & Attended this morning & were not disappointed. The food & service have remained the very high standard that we have come to expect of st James! Nothing was too much for the staff, the Breakfast was excellent value & as always of high quality! We have already booked for the following week, would highly recommend!!!

We walked into this place without having pre-booked, mainly for the benefit of the kids using the play area in the garden while we waited for food order; it was late afternoon and most customers were drinking, so not the peak lunch period.We placed our food order via the app (which included a nachos platter for a starter) and waited... we ended up waiting over 40 mins for the food (any food!) to arrive, bad enough, however they kept shutting down the play area and then reopening it several minutes later, so the kids got fed up and came to sit and wait for the food...When the food finally did arrive, they brought starter with mains; the nachos were dry and the cheese congealed and of poor quality. The cod and chips the kids ordered were clearly cooked from frozen, rather than made fresh... the hamburger I ordered was awful, the meat was almost crumbling when I tried to cut it... the sweet potato fries I ordered were limp and burnt (interesting how they managed that!)...After a few mouthfuls, we got up to leave, because the food was so terrible we’d rather go and eat McDonalds at this point. We spent £70 on our order, a huge waste of money and we certainly won’t return ever again.Be warned, don’t come for the food!

This was probably the worst dining experience we’ve ever had. The restaurant was noisy from work going on in the kitchen, the service was slow and the food was absolutely awful. We actually walked out half way through our meal because it was so uncomfortable to be there. We will never go back to this restaurant in its current form.
