Beer was good but the chicken burger was easily the worst burger I’ve ever had.

Having been coming to this pub for years, tonight there is loud heavy metal music playing that is so loud, you cannot hear the people you are with. Staff turned it down for 20 seconds then ramped it up again. Totally ruined this pub and expect regulars will go elsewhere.

I've lived near the Adam and Eve for years. The location is perfect especially for walks in the green belt. The beer garden is divine and heated on autumn evenings which makes it really special. Very recently they have hired a new manager Antony, and he has hired a new chef who has extended the menu and completely changed the food here for the better. Massively. Joe the barman is so welcoming and the service is amazing now. This is definitely my favourite pub in London.

I went with my partner and our three boisterous boys. We eat out all the time and never look for trouble! We love good food and like tipping for good service. Ordering at the bar, vaguely disinterested staff started off a notably bad experience. Our meals mostly came at different times. My roast was so cold, despite a plate too hot to handle had to be returned to the kitchen. The kids fish and chips had a portion of mushy peas which were minuscule. We’re talking half a container that typically ketchup comes in - less than a decent mouthful. Noticeable. One of our boys is a bit of a picky eater and just wanted chicken burger and chips without a bun, no sauce. It came out once with a bun and was returned to the kitchen, then it reappeared without the bun, but had sauce on it. Server then left the chips, but took the chicken back. When the chicken finally reappeared (for the third time) literally all of us had finished eating and it was a half size portion In comparison to what had originally been served. When I complained to our server, he defensively pointed out he had not taken the original order (at the bar). I saw the server subsequently talking with a manager, the manager didn’t look even bother coming over to us. I even asked to speak with the manager but the server didn’t hear and by this time I’d lost the very will to live and we all left. I’m not sure if the Adam and Eve is under new management ( because we’ve happily eaten there before, in the summer), but this experience has put me off ever coming back. not a good experience.

Este pub es un edificio encantador, con mucho carácter y un buen personal, pero la comida simplemente no está a la altura de las expectativas En primer lugar, el menú de almuerzo solo está disponible de lunes a viernes. Uno podría entender que el domingo sea diferente, pero dado que solo hay 3 opciones para almorzar, parece extraño. Dejando eso de lado, los arrancadores no están a la altura Los calamares estaban fríos y sosos, las patatas fritas un poco más que tibias y el pollo estaba flácido y sabía a hervido y no cocinado al horno Como dirían todos los buenos restaurantes, se trata de los puntos más finos, pero tienes que hacer lo básico bien Tenía tantas ganas de que este pub fuera un gran pub, por desgracia, resultó ser promedio en el mejor de los casos y tiene un chef que ha perdido su amor por la comida, la ambición y las ganas

Nice pub, but nothing for vegetarians on the new menu. Used to eat there a lot. Three Hammers down the road is now much better. Waited nearly 20 minutes to be served for drinks last week as well. Used to be a much better venue. The Ltd menu and ethos never used to bother me until there was nothing left for me! They don't have to serve anything vegetarian, but shouldn't promote themselves as vegetarian friendly on the website and should let ppl know before they order drinks. More than half the bad reviews are from the past 12 months. I had 2 negative experiences within a week.

The food was OK but nothing special. Very little choice on the menu for vegetarians and despite going on a sunday for a roast they said they weren't doing them. We ordered kid's fish and chips which turned up as just fish. A side of chips arrived later but we weren't sure why and when we asked the bar staff they said that was for the kids and the chef 'just decided to do it that way'. I then ordered an additional side of chips which for £6 was pretty meagre although to be fair the bar staff had warned me it would be. It wasn't a surprise that they weren't busy on a Sunday and it was definitely a shame as the last time we went there it was for a wedding 2 years ago which was a really lovely experience.

Waited at least 40 minutes for burger and chips and fish and chips in a virtually empty pub. Burger very small and cold, and a small portion of chips for £16. Disappointing as I thought we would try it after a few years of not going, rather than The Gate in Arkley which is always good. Was told it was a new menu and new chaf so was looking forward to it. Won't try again for another few years.

¡Tengo humo y hambre! Fuimos al Adán y Eva. Nos sentamos afuera en un hermoso día soleado. Pedí el pastel de pollo y jamón. Cuando llegó era pequeña, dura como una roca y equilibrada sobre una montaña de patatas fritas. Cuando me metí en ella el relleno estaba seco. La camarera se lo llevó y dijo que le pediría al chef que hiciera otro. Cuando llegó mi compañero había terminado su comida. El segundo intento fue igual de duro e improductible que le señalé a la camarera. Llamó al gerente que le dio instrucciones de devolverme mi dinero. Así que me fui descontento y extremadamente hambriento. Es una pena porque es un lugar tan atractivo.

I had my wedding here in March and it was a fantastic day. Marcella had just taken over running the pub and was so helpful in ensuring our day ran smoothly. All the staff were friendly and professional, which added to the atmosphere of the day. The food was delicious and all our guests have told us it is the best wedding food they have ever had. I feel the Adam and Eve offered excellent value for a wedding in London. Lauren from pub weddings london was also a great help and very hands on in making sure our wedding day ran smoothly.

Hoy he visitado el pub Adán y Eva, con mi suegro (FIL) , que tiene demencia! Cuando llegamos no había nadie más en el pub. La joven camarera preguntó qué queríamos... Mi FIL quería un jugo de tomate (TJ) con salsa Worcestershire... ¡La jovencita no estaba segura de por qué o qué queríamos! Ella nos mostró un cartón abierto aplastado de TJ y dijo... '¿quieres esto o no'! Sentí que era muy grosera, descortés y se encontró con algo frustrado y desagradable... Lo que empeoró esto... fue que ella pudo ver que mi FIL era mayor y estaba confundida... de todos modos, él tomó un vaso, pero una vez en nuestra mesa dijo que sabía horrible... Lo probé y definitivamente estaba apagado! Así que se lo planteé a la señora a cargo y ella lo reemplazó de inmediato con una coca-cola, por lo que él estaba agradecido. Como mi FIL no sale mucho lo traje aquí a almorzar, pero no come mucho y quería pescado con papas fritas... . Pregunté si le harían un plato pequeño (tamaño infantil) y el gerente dijo que sí, pero tendrían que ser los Goujones de Bacalao, no el Filete de Bacalao... . Así que dijimos que estaba bien... sin embargo, una vez que llegó parecía quemado y poco apetitoso! Mi FIL ni siquiera pudo abrirlos con su cuchillo y le resultó difícil comer uno con sus manos... Pero peor aún... Apenas había pescado dentro... ¡Sólo se quemó masa dura! Así que de nuevo, llamé a la gerente y le mostré lo que nos habían servido... . Para su crédito, ella estuvo completamente de acuerdo conmigo y se llevó la comida inmediatamente... Dije que no queríamos nada más para reemplazarlo y estaba listo para irnos. Justo antes de irnos, ella regresó con el reembolso de su comida y se disculpó, lo que yo estaba extremadamente agradecido. Sin embargo, dicho esto... Esta experiencia inesperada arruinó el día pasando con mi FIL y significó que se fue con hambre y yo estaba muy molesto y extremadamente insatisfecho! Por lo tanto, mi consejo al lugar sería... 1 . Capacite al personal joven para que sea más educado al saludar a sus clientes y aprenda sobre las bebidas que está sirviendo... y si no puede entender o no está seguro, busque el apoyo de las gerencias y no solo verter un poco de stock viejo y completarlo con un cartón fresco! 2 . Respecto a la comida... En primer lugar, agradecí al personal por acomodar una comida más pequeña para mi FIL. Sin embargo, la calidad y el estándar de esta comida nunca debería haber salido de la cocina! ¡Ten en cuenta que he añadido la foto de mi comida de la FIL! Simplemente no es aceptable. Espero sinceramente que estas medidas se puedan abordar y espero que reciba comentarios maravillosos en el futuro.

The girl at the bar who served us upon walking in, wasn't welcoming. Requested we give her a table number before ordering just drinks. Plan was to enjoy a lovely Sunday lunch, however decided just have a quick drink and go somewhere else local. Read good reviews about how with new ownership the pub has improved. Shame the girl serving us wasn't friendly nor welcoming to us, so we left after just one drink and won't bother coming back.

Sunday Lunch was pretty dire. The roast beef was not medium rare in fact it overcooked and 2 of the thinnest slices I have seem. Vegables were overcooked and luke warm. Not worth £22.50. The fact was the place was quite empty propably means most people agree. The staff were very nice, but the Manager was abrupt and not welcoming Won't be back.

Got turned away for not being 21+ (my friend and I are both 20 and we just wanted a place to sit and chat), so did two people before us; despite the pub being completely empty. Used to love this pub but new management is making it inaccessible for the young locals; especially us who wanted to have a chill evening. My birthday is in September, but regardless I felt disregarded today, so they have lost me as a customer and, I am sure, many other young locals. Responding to Response: We had valid ID on us and are nowhere near 18 (we are 20 nearly 21)- defo not in school uniform. It is not the CHALLENGE 25 policy that is the issue (of course)- it is the fact that we were told you need to be over 21 to use the pub now...

We had a wonderful lunch here today. The new manager Andy and his team are very friendly and the service is excellent. The outdoor area is an oasis of tranquillity and the decor indoors is beautiful. We had a Caesar chicken salad, fish and chips and the beefburger - the food was top quality and the chips were the best I have ever tasted (crispy on the outside and sooo fluffy inside). The fish was cooked to perfection, the homemade croutons with the Caesar salad were an added bonus to a delicious salad with lots of chicken and my husband devoured his burger. We are definitely coming back again soon!

This pub apparently USED to be incredible… I’ve heard three people, including my partner, one of my best friends (and his mum) tell me this much… It USED TO do a fabulous Sunday roast and make a concerted effort to look after its clientele. Unfortunately they’ve had a change of ownership some time back, which seems to be reflected in the service and most definitely in the reviews All four times I’ve been here, the service has been very lacking. The staff look miserable (which speaks volumes about a place and its management) and two of the four times the beers my partner or brother have wanted have been off due to cleaning of the beer pipes. The pub has been dead all four times… We’ve been at weekends and midweek. You’d assume service might be better when a pub is quiet, but the staff aren’t particularly happy to see anyone or forthcoming. Last time I went, I noticed a massive Elderflower bush outside, that had burst into flower. It’s one of my favourite plants, so I picked a sprig to show my partner who’d never seen an elderflower tree before. I showed him the scent, and explained how to make elderflower cordial and also explained about the medicinal benefits of the berries, later in the year. Before we left, he needed to use the men’s room, so I engaged in a conversation with the pub staff whilst I waited, as the pub was completely empty, other than staff. I was well dressed and speak very well too, not that this should be relevant, but when I offered the bloom to the older man, who I assume was the manager-freeholder/tenant for the pub responded with “Are you a gypsy?! Are you going to try and sell it to me?” I was pretty affronted… I’ve nothing against the traveller and gypsy communities, but the question was rude. I’m sure a gypsy traveller would have also been affronted too actually. I responded with “do I look like a gypsy to you?” He replied “I don’t know! Maybe!” I said I was not, and was simply interested in nature and plants, and had thought they might be too. The other staff had actually demonstrated some interest, but he was extremely rude. I walked away, and told my partner when he returned as we left… He insisted on returning to speak to the older man in question… He said “excuse me, did you ask my partner if she was a gypsy?” The other staff looked away, clearly embarrassed… the man in question lied and said “no I didn’t.” I don’t enjoy confrontation, and hadn’t been entirely at ease about my partner going back, but the bare faced lie, in front of me was irritating, so I recounted exactly what he had said word for word. The man looked uncomfortable, and squirmed as he addressed my partner and said “I didn’t say that, but if I did say something you didnt like, I apologise.” My partner left it at that, but has said he’ll never go back now… in fact, he said “well, I guess I no longer have a local… As I’m never going back to that place again.” This place has so much potential… A decent beer garden, a nice big, attractive looking pub with a great deal of potential, born out by its rich reviews from a few years back, and in a lovely area… BUT they’ve clearly let it go to the dogs, with no care put into the service offering or menu, not the cooking and the customer service is ABYSMAL. The man in charge clearly has no people or customer service skills, and probably no management skills either, given how miserable his staff are. Please don’t waste your time going to this establishment. It’s not going to add anything of value to your life, and it’s as expensive as far nicer pubs in the local area.

The food was great, the staff friendly and understanding, always there when you needed but not intrusive. A big thank you to Marcela, the owner and event organiser. She understood perfectly my needs, delivered even more than I thought I wanted and she has been a pleasure to work with. She had our best interests at heart and I could see she really wanted us to have a good time. It is a lovely pub with a great atmosphere, in the evening there was even live music. The staff is very professional but at the same time thoughtful and personable and as I said the food was great, my guests were all very happy and enjoyed themselves.

Went in for a relaxed Sunday lunch. The guy behind the bar really struggled to put in our food orders 2 starters. 4 mains - turns out he was the manager! The waitress bought the wrong starters to our table 1st off. The correct food came soon after. Not a disaster. However, 2 of the main courses arrived before we had finished our staters and so got cold. The other 2 never arrived! We were the 1st in the garden and got pretty frustrated when evryone got served their dishes - the same as we had ordered -1st. The waitress told us it was our fault as we had ordered seperately and showed me 2 orders. She seemed confused when I pointed out it was all ordered together and paid together. Not confused enough to apolgise though. The manager was alone behind the bar, although there seemed to be at least 3 waiting staff and it wasn't busy. When I came out to complain, 30 minutes after the 1st 2 mains arrived he asked me to go back in the garden and he would come out to sort a refund. 10 minutes later he was still serving behind the bar. His attitude was that things go wrong sometimes and seemed not to understand why. Basically tough luck! certainly not an apology. I demanded a refund, but he said he couldn't as I hadn't asked for a card receipt!!! I got a full refund from my credit card company. We went up the road to Michaels Cafe and the 2 hungry friends had a nice meal with good service.

I cannot fault the service and friendly welcome we received at the Adam and Eve last week. We held our mother's wake here for 60 people. Anna and Wojtek worked very hard to make sure everything was perfect for us and it was! We highly recommend !! Thank you

I've been to the Adam and Eve many times but recently it's gone down hill! The waitress was very rude, maybe not intentionally but she has no customer service skills whatsoever! We had multiple issues with our order but agreed to alternative food which they then didn't serve us, after waiting for ages they then said the kitchen was closed. Terrible service and the one thing that did arrive tasted weird and I was concerned I was going to get food poisoning! After reading the reviews here it seems someone else did get food poisoning! I wouldn't eat here until they sort it out! Also the responses from management to some of these reviews really miss the msrk. Not a recipe for success. I hope you manage to turn it around because it's a really nice pub!

Rude, unapologetic, missed items we ordered, ran out of other things ordered and didn't bring the alternatives they had us order, and what did arrive tasted weird. They then tried to insist that things that happened hadn't. Not even busy!

Utterly disappointed with the service we received yesterday. My 8 month old baby made a small mess on the floor as I was feeding him, the waitress approached our table and in a disgusted tone stated 'you have no respect for this place' and walked off. As I asked her what she was implying she continued to be very rude, pointing to the floor and creating a scene. I was very upset with this waitress, as I had just been trying my best to feed an irritable baby. Her comments were completely unnecessary. Clearly not a 'baby friendly' pub if the staff have issues with clearing crumbs a baby may make. I hope the waitress reflects on her behaviour and attitude, and does not communicate with other customers like this in the future. Will certainly not be returning here again.

My friend and I decided to come here for a couple of pints for Boxing Day evening. There was a barman who completely ignored us. He was typing on his laptop for five minutes as we waited at the bar for drinks. This was even after we had politely asked him twice. After we had finished our first pint we went to the bar again to get the second round in. The barman told us he had just put the beer taps through a cleaning process and that it would take forty minutes until they were ready. Bear in mind this was at half past eight in the evening. We decided to leave at this point. Will not come back again. Worst pub experience I’ve ever had. Obnoxious and rude doesn’t cover it.

Had a great family Christmas Day lunch at Adam & Eve. Food was gorgeous, atmosphere was just the right amount of relaxed and buzzy and all the staff were amazing. Highly recommended.

As a family, we were delighted to eat out on Christmas day and we had such fun at the Adam and Eve. There were a few hiccups but the friendliness and hospitality of the management and staff more than made up for it...great fun.

Mediocre food with exorbitant prices.. customer service is also non-existent. The guy at the counter cannot be bothered and the lady attending at the tables doesn't have customer service skills. Also don't dare asking if they have non-dairy milks! We are in London in 2023 and they don't serve oat or even soya milk?! And it turns out they cannot even make you a coffee with normal milk. Reason? They asked a guy to go and get some milk at Waitrose and he hasn't been back yet! Weird! How can you not serve coffee with milk? We will definitely not be back again!

Food was ok but limited on what was on the menu. It was a quiet evening, not many people at the pub apart from our group. I wouldn't come back but that's my personal opinion.

Food was disappointing. The falafel burger was tasty but dry. Could have done with more salad and fewer chips.

One of my favourite pubs and the Sunday Roast was the best I had in a very long time. A large lamb shank with home-made gravy vegetables and crispy Yorkshire pudding.

Delicious tender roast chicken and flavorful lamb all cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Roasted and caramelized vegetables served alongside the meat. Let's not forget about the Yorkshire pudding. Golden, puffy and crispy. Also homemade gravy pouring over the roast and vegetables brings everything together and enhances the overall experience. Definitely coming back next week.

Met up for a family Sunday Lunch gathering, 10 adults and 3 infants. When our Sunday roasts arrived the food was cold and we all returned it to be heated up. The food reappeared hotter but not 'roasting hot'; we were told to be careful as the plates were very hot.....they were only barely warm. 36 hours later illness set in; first diner started to vomit and it carried on through the night, early hours of the morning and through to noon. Diner 2 spent Tuesday morning on the bathroom floor, missed work and lost a day's pay. Diner 3 sick throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday - not terribly helpful as she had three children under two and a half to care for! All were from different households and had one thing in common - Sunday roast together at the Adam and Eve, Mill Hill. Pork and chicken were the culprits. We were told that we would receive a refund but when we went to collect it, were told it was only offered for the three diners who were ill.; misleading as we were given the impression that it would be a full refund. Felt sorry for the manager who, when we rang and met him again in-person was clearly embarrassed and apologetic but said that it was the decision of the owner. I have noted numerous responses from the pub owner who, when faced with online criticism, said that the feedback would help them to improve their offer but clearly such responses were 'empty words!' And we left a tip! We value our health and won't be returning. Ever!

Myself and my wife went earlier and ordered the fish and chips meal. Not only was it incredibly overpriced, we also both got food poisoning from the meal. Awful experience. Edit: here’s an update ! The manager gave me a call and stated that he can’t offer me any refund or reasonable compensation for a meal that gave me and my wife food poisoning. After confirming the timeframe and that we did eat there, he stated that because our symptoms began four hours after eating there, it was not “in the rules” to offer any compensation, as food poisoning “only sets in 12 hours after eating” (which is obviously wrong and disingenuous.) He also said he can’t escalate my complaint further. Thanks for the help.

Went today for 30th birthday meal I carnt explain fully the extent of the most unorganised meal out I’ve ever experienced in my life, drove down from Bournemouth really looking forward to this family gathering but was not a good experience, there was about 15 of us there was no welcome on entrance to pub to tell us where to sit & no body to tell us how we order no table service, so we all order our food & after a very long time some of the food arrives I start eating my food not only is it cold broccoli was raw then only to spot a hair right across my plate so my boyfriend goes to complain & a very aggressive waitress comes over & im made to feel like I’m a nuisance she asks me do I want to reorder so I say I need to look at the menu again then the dosent return to ask what I would like no apology or anything a member of my family gave me half of her burger 3 people from our party received no food at all when asking aver a hour later where there food was to be told they didn’t order any food omg everyone else had long ate & they then said they had run out of the food they had ordered so decided to get a refund & get a takeaway on way home I understand they was buzy but total lack of any apology completely ignorant of what was going on at the table shocking service totally ruined a birthday meal management need to address this service & comunication with its diners we will never return.

What has happened to the Adam and Eve, it used to be a great pub. I have been twice since COVID at lunchtime and it's almost empty. I had to send the Ghost Ship back, it was vinegar and most items on the menu were not available. Great shame.

Lovely pub, nice outdoor space, sadly worst roast I’ve had in london in a long time. Tough, dry overcooked beef, soggy over cooked veg, chewy roast potatoes and overly salty gravy. On the plus side, the service was friendly!

It is a very nice place, we ordered many dishes from the menu and they were all delicious, very good flavor, good presentation and a fairly fast service without long waiting times, the waiters were very friendly, kind and very attentive. We will definitely come back, we were very satisfied.
