The Alfred Arms in Hertsmere

The Manager is one of the most rude guys I have ever met. We bought drinks and decided to chat for a while, he walk up to us and asked if we’re not buying drink again we should walk out, we mentioned, we just had 4 drinks ( 2 Guiness and 2 Fosters) and waiting for next round , but he was so rude. We just went for our last drink after his encounter and just left. My worst ever experience in London.

Popped out for a pint and it was a decent ‘football’ themed pub. It’s obviously been done out recently and it’s been done to a decent standard. Staff friendly and as it’s by the train station it’s in a decent location. Good choice of draught as well.

Popped in for a pint and whilst there's not many option on tap, its a decent place (clearly been fitted out and upgraded recently). If you want to watch football/sports its a great place for this.

Went to meet my brother from his 18th and at first was completely satslisfied then was approached by the landlord saying that I was upsetting people with my presence and got kicked out for doing nothing wrong, made to feel very uncomfortable and it feels very cliquey, dirty pub new refurb is trying to polish a terd

Great pub great staff amazing atmosphere Good decor have a great time ever time we visit we have a awsome time

Being new to the area, I started to go to this pub after seeing the food reviews, but was disappointed that Ruby Murray have left this place so there's no longer curry available. The first few times I went there it was quite good for the football, but I've realised that this is more of a Pool Pub than a football one as I've been to some big games like Spurs vs Dortmund and it was very disappointing. Last visit for me on Thursday broke 2 cardinal rules. I was waiting at the bar for 10 minutes whilst the lone barmaid was outside the front of the pub smoking and chatting, oblivious to the customer waiting to be served. When she finally came back, she served the 4 'locals' before me even though I was first, so than was another few minutes. I won't be going back there, which is a shame as the TVs aren't too bad. Will see my football at the Toby Grill now or look into joining the Social Club, which I've heard good things about.

Being new to the area, I've been checking out the local pubs.

Great place to meet up with friends, family or colleague. Wide range of drinks available plus you can also Enjoy a good meal here too. Great atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.They put on music nights like Back to Old School which has everyone up and dancing. Well worth a visit people 🤩👌😜😊

Used for the first time, good delivery, great service & fabulous food. Will most definitely use them again

The Alfred arms is a great place to watch the sports and live football. The atmosphere is good and they do Indian food to.

We were surprised and delighted to find a pub that offered Indian food in Borehamwood High Street during a recent visit. Run as separate businesses the Alfred Arms was warm and friendly with a good choice of beers and Ruby's Murray food was just GREAT! Easily some of the best most mouth-watering Indian food I've ever tasted (and that includes some v. expensive big city restaurants). The chicken Hariali was spicy and fresh - great with cold lager - and something I will be coming back for next time I'm in the area. The owner said he was aiming to provide high quality individual food that you wouldn't find any where else - he has really succeeded. Give this place a try if your in the area. Brian S, Leeds

We were welcomed by friendly staff who were happy to help. The menu had a very good choice and the value for the delicious food was great. The prawn puri was fantastic and all the rest of our choices were freshly made, served as generous portions and were very tasty. Would definitely recommend them to other people passing through the area and hope the locals also support this excellent place!

Went here on Sunday night after watching Manchester City at Wembley and so glad we tried it. I had the sticky chicken wings for starters, one word - amazing! My partner had the chicken chaat puri and he said that was excellent. We had chicken tikka jalfrezi and chicken madras, they were both super tasty and fresh, one of the best curries I have had for a long time including the ones I have had at the Curry Mile in Rusholme. The owner was very friendly and was telling us about his plans for the future of his restaurant. We wish him the best. With regards to the pub itself, the staff were all very friendly and welcoming, nice choice of beers and ciders and all reasonably priced.

If you’re looking for a clean, well polished Pub, great Indian food, service always with a smile and a warm feeling then this is the pub to go to. It’s a must visit. The pool table is of a high standard too.

Under new management, and now called Ruby’s Murray, the Indian restaurant at this local pub does outstanding takeaway. Packed full of spice, and not overboard on the chilli heat, there are layers and layers of delicious flavour. We ordered a couple of the specials. All the meat was beautifully tender and the food wasn’t too greasy, as many indian takeaways can be. Highly recommended, the service was great and the delivery was speedy. Thanks for a lovely father’s day meal!

I have visited on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. The Sunday roast here is the best for miles around and is certainly the best in Borehamwood. I have had the beef and the lamb and it has always been good with plenty of it. The staff are friendly and efficient and are always helpful with very good service. Complements to James "the chef".

The meal was not of a standard i expect from an Indian restaurant it tasted as though it had been bought and heated up from a supermarket which explained why it was edible. I small piece of plastic on plate confirmed this thought for us. its a shame because the pub is a clean friendly place.

We went into this establishment for a curry having just come out of our visit to Elstree studios. From the Menu outside we thought it wa s a pub that had been converted into an Indian restaurant. However on entering we found it was very much still a pub with , decent beer and had a live band on that night. The pub obviously has an arrangement with the Indian Takawy place Mehmsahbs which operates upstairs. You order drinks as usual at the bar, but the girl behind the bar called down someone from the takeaway for our curry order . You pay him rather than the pub for your food and can eat it in the pub, which was great especially as the Poppadoms, Balti and Jalfrezi we ordered were really the best we had eaten outside of Birmingham where we live. A good choice on our part.

I have been here couple of times and enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere .highly recommended and will be back soon

Lovely friendly pub with a good atmosphere good Indian food served as well we've had many a great night here and look forward to many more Sally & James the landlords are lovely people and we'll accommodating

Buena comida, a un precio razonable. Personal amable, servicio rápido.

Es el fútbol en el medio tiempo y he llevado a tripadvisor rápidamente para dar crédito donde el crédito es sin duda debido!

Como ninguno local caminando por la calle alta en Borehamwood necesidad de comida, de fútbol en la televisión y una pinta decente tripadvisor sugieren los brazos Alfred cumplía estos requisitos. Primeras impresiones señaló la comida, siendo el compromiso. ¡Incorrecto! Menú de comida hindú, y el servicio era excelente. El ambiente agradable durante la noche contribuyó a una velada muy agradable.

Si es de su agrado y decoración quieres agradable aspecto elegante y sillas mesas lejos ahora. Gastro Pub no es, pero los brazos de Alfred (tailandés) en pub sirve de Borehamwood probablemente la mejor sopa tailandesa que he probado este lado de Bangkok. Tuve 45 minutos libres y sentí hambre, he pasado el pub, pero nunca ha sido dentro, así me cautivó. Hay mucha variedad en el menú, pero como mi tiempo era limitado decidí dar la sopa Tom kha intentarlo (8 libras. 50 como un plato principal). Era servido en 10 minutos y el generoso bowl tamaño fue acompañada con una gran porción de arroz muy sabroso y algunos ensalada rematado con una zanahoria en forma perfectamente excavada. Bien, así que se veía bien, pero la verdad es que es el sabor que realmente cuenta. Ahora la mejor parte, era absolutamente delicioso, puede probar todos los ingredientes, mi paladar explotaron con delicia (lo siento, Yo sólo no pude resistir). Este lugar es bien vale la pena. Aparentemente algo llamado 'tigre' se supone que llora a ser increíble, así que te dará un tiempo ir siguiente Sin duda, uno para una noche con los chicos o chicas.

Muy buena comida tailandesa y extremadamente razonable, buen ambiente. Teníamos el plato mezclado y pedí un curry tailandés de verde para compartir no nos dimos cuenta de cuánto alimento allí sería, con una botella de vino que sólo llegó a 34 libras, camarera y Camarero personal servicial y amable.

Paramos para el almuerzo después de una sesión en megajump con los niños. La comida era excelente y el servicio sobre el más amable que he experimentado. Muchas gracias, volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Borehamwood.

The choice and service was amazing and very tasty. The food was Authentic Thai food and well presented. Would recommend it

Food here is so good, very good menu with the choice of how hot you would like it. Lovely staff, big portions and nice layout of food. I would definitely come back again and highly reccomend it.

Don't let the front of the pub put you off!The food has always been very nice every time I've visited it. It is very reasonably priced, with a large varied Thai menu.The staff are so courteous too.I try and go every few weeks for lunch, whilst out at work, as my treat!

I guess I should have known from the other reviews on here but the quality of the food at this unassuming bar still took me by surprise. It is fresh, tasty and definitely a hidden gem in Borehamwood.

Stopped in here for swift pint went for doombar it was either off or had very dirty lines so left it and was on my way

Really good Thai food - very nice people and very welcoming. Went for a meal after work with a colleague while staying in Borehamwood and would thoroughly recommend and will certainly re-visit!

Came across this pub by chance while visiting the area and was persuaded by the owner to come in. So glad we did as the Thai food we sampled was excellent and very good value for money.

Absolutely first class food!! Had enough to have my dinner & save some for my lunch 2moro, don't miss this fantastic eat in or take away

Had a lovely time, will definitely be back again as I'm in the area a lot. The delinquents of a Friday/Saturday night are what I didn't give 5-5 for but you can't help your clientele

Service and food was very good. You will know that you have had a roast here as the amount of food is not small.

I've only tried a take away from here once - but everything I tried was very good - weeping tiger was excelllent. The vegetarian pad Thai had maybe too many vegetables and was a little sweet - but the tempura prawns were very good. Will definitely return

I often frequent The Alfred Arms. It's almost a guilty pleasure of mine. Living relatively nearby it falls into under the 'comfort establishment' category; in my mind it's the perfect place to enjoy a swift half with friends after a bad day at work, before trundling back to my residence.Saying that, I've never opted to dine at The Alfred Arms - I'm usual a little À la carte in dinning. Praise me with a Deconstructed Oyster Rockefeller and I'm happy as Larry. This all changed last night though, when I ordered the 'Weeping Tiger' (with Rice, noodles can get a little messy). Soon enough out came one of the team with a sizzling delight - filling the room with authentic aromatic Thai aromas.The sizzle is all well and good, but would it please my pallet? Picking up the knife I sliced my way through the medium steak in a way that one can only compare to a Marks and Spencer's advert.Now, Knifes are a big plot-twister in my world. All too often I find myself at a sterling airside lounge, sat on leather throne (real, not faux), with a aesthetically pleasing delicacy in front of me. I say aesthetically for a reason - I'm never able to taste these dishes due to the abhorrent knife that I'm provided with, which is blunter than one found in a child's play set. The knife in The Alfred Arms was diamond sharp, however, I digress.Back at the table, combing a wafer of steak, some rice, and authentic Thai vegetables (I've even heard whispers that they fly them in, direct from sustainable fair trade Thai farms) on my fork, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste explosion that rippled through my body. The meal was delicious, and exceeded every expectation that I had.Reading similar reviews to mine, I can agree that this is a hidden gem, and as close as you'll get to Thailand this side of Radlett. I never usually like restaurant staff, they're so over what they're doing. The team at Thai Wan were different though - I even entertained a chat with them.One final comment from myself is regarding the 'British Menu'. In my view, anyone that opts for a quarter pounder with cheese may as well be sat in McDonald's, naively moaning about their bank balance, despite voting for Brexit. For heavens sake man, find some inspiration in your life and enjoy foods that are *so* much better than that crap you usually eat from Iceland's.All in all: ดีเยี่ยม!

Went into Thai Wan for a quick lunch . The chef there is very talented in creating an authentic thai experience. Service was quick and they did not hold back on the chilli when asked for it to be done very spicy which was quite refreshing. The pad thai was delicious and banana fritter dessert tasty and generous. A fantastic experience ! The only thing missing was perhaps an injection of modernity and light to add to the ambience as the restaurant is located in a pub . Nevertheless this certainly does not detract from the quality of the food . Well worth a visit.

I went to the Alfred Arms today and ordered Thai crackers which were accompanied with homemade sweet chilli sauce . To follow, we had a Thai red curry and green curry. Really authentic food, great portions too. A hidden gem within Borehamwood.

I been try many Thai food, this is the one taste Traditional and good price, I am highly recommend .

Traditional Thai food (or enjoy English pub food). The host and the staff are very friendly and engaged with diners. If you don't have spicy food all the time, you may want to ask for your dish on the mild side.

As an elderly couple, we booked here for five on the basis of Trip Advisor reviews to meet friends last seen 50 years ago and 250 miles away. When we turned up, the table was set up in front of the large screen tv, with a circular arrangement round the windows of young men watching football on the tv. The sound was on loud as there was so much noise from these supporters. We would also have been part of their amusement as well as what they were shouting about on the tv. My tinnitus and partial deafness would have meant I would not have heard a word of what my companions were saying. At least the publican was understanding that we simply could not cope with the noise and we didn't even mention how the table had been set up in front of the tv. Had to find somewhere else to go. It would have helped if this live tv event had been explained when booking and that we were to be the centre attraction underneath the tv.

I've been back here for the food a few times and it is always excellent.They now do deliveries, (as well as existing take away) which I highly recommend so you don't have to put up with the pub side of it.The customer service is amazing. They really care about feedback and you feel that they put everything into their cooking.Flavours are amazing, super fresh ingredients, great selection for a small kitchen, decent portions.Love love love the Thai food here; get a take away or delivery and you won't be disappointed.

The platter for two was enough for three and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. food arrived promptly and hot!!!! A nice relaxing atmosphere too

Just had a lovely lunch with my colleagues, food was tasty, well cooked, served promptly and very good value for money. The Chef's daughter served us, was extremely polite and well informed. Would highly recommend eating here!!

We went as a group to try the Thai food, as we saw that it had great reviews. Not that it was a negative, but no parking, so had to drive up the high street and found a multi storey car park, the bonus was it was free to park there after 18.30! So aprox five minutes walk later, we arrived in the Alfred Arms, we were a little surprised at the surroundings, but thought as we're here we may as well stay and eat. I have to say that we're glad that we did, as the food was excellent, from service, presentation, and importantly taste! So all in all a great night, we were so involved chatting and eating, that we ignored our surroundings, and everyone in our party was pleased that we had chosen to dine here.

The best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand. Seriously.Thai is one of my favourite cusines and I have been to restaurant after restaurant and am surprised to say that of all places, in the Alfred Arms, that this Thai beats them all hands down.The husband and wife team serve up, the most delicious Thai food. Always with a smile.The flavours dance around and it wafts me back to the times I have been to Thailand.Even if you don't want to eat in - I can understand why due to the pub patrons - then ask to get the food taken away to enjoy.It is too good to miss. Give it a try and you absolutely won't be disappointed!

Very warm welcome, delicious spicy food and great service. Also the atmospfere was very fiendly. I will visit this restaurant again during my stay in Elstree Borehamwood for the next couple of weeks.

The Alfred Arms may not look too inviting from the outside, but trust me... It's fine! Plus the Thai food is the best we have tasted in London. And yes.. It IS better than the Thai restaurant a few doors down.So go for it, go in and enjoy the best Thai food you've ever tasted outside of Thailand! Kisses

The most amazing Thai food I have ever tried. Guys it is worth it to go there. Specially for the prawns and duck rolls.

The Thai food is so tasty and very reasonable. All staff are very friendly and the service is good too!

I suspect most of the starters came from a packet, and main was ok but not remarkable, atmosphere was interesting, but not really what I expected. Sorry

My husband and I we're up for a spontaneous afternoon out.Excellent customer service. Staff are very friendly and polite. Great choices from menu. We ordered Tom Yum with prawns and Prawn Tempura as starter. Absolutely delicious. Main course we ordered chicken fried rice with thai green curry and chicken stir fry. Both main meals were very filling and delicious. The chilli was the right amount .Will definately be coming back here. If you are shopping in the area try it out. Prices are reasonable. You wownt break the bank. The pub also added a nice feel to the atmosphere.

We were told there was a very nice Thai Restaurant on Shenley Road and we could not find it at first. Finally we discovered it was situated in the pub called The Alfred Arms. That is rather a 'dark' kind of pub where people go for their daily beers. But please do not let that withhold you to go and taste the most beautiful fresh Thai food we have ever eaten and we did eat Thai food in several countries and they were all a lot more expensive! We had dinner Friday evening and came back just before we took the train back to Belgium the next day. So next time you are in the neighbourhood give yourself a treat!!

I love Thsi food, after carrying out a quick search for a local Thai restaurant with good reviews we thought we'd check out The Alfred Arms. We were surprised to find it was actually inside a pub. Nevertheless we ventured in. The service in the restaurant was great, the owner ensured everything was fine with the food and we had a little chat with him st the end. The food was brilliant, authentic and tasty, plus very reasonably priced. We will definitely be coming again.

Popped in for a quick drink with a friend, and noticed the very reasonably priced Thai food. Joined by the rest of our group and we all decided to try the menu. I had the red chicken curry, friend had pad Thai. We were all asked how hot we'd like our curry, everything was cooked fresh by the owners wife, who is from Thailand. The service was brilliant, and when we'd finished the chef came out to chatReally lovely experience and I wish this couple all the very best with their restaurant venture.

At a friend's recommendation, we came for an early dinner this past Saturday. I eat a lot of Thai food, and the Thai dishes we had were superb. The Pad Kra Prow Prawns (medium heat) had juicy prawns, delicately prepared vegetables and a good spicy kick without being overpowering, and the Beef Massaman Curry was equally generous in flavour and portion size. Both came with steamed jasmine rice. The service was attentive, friendly and quick. The bill came to just under £17.00, which is excellent value. The only downside was the venue and ambiance, which as a town-centre local pub is set up primarily for drinkers and football/music entertainment so it was noisy and the décor rather dark and unwelcoming. With food this good, however, it's definitely worth braving it! Even better, I think the chef deserves to set up his/her own restaurant.

After going in for a drink for the evening to celebrate a family birthday, we decided to try the food. I don't regret a thing. For £9ish I had one of the best pad thai's of my life. It was beautifully presented, and the dish had so much flavour. I couldn't finish it all as I was so full. The staff were really friendly and checked on us regularly, and the chef came out to ask our opinions on the food. We were asked if we wanted to take home the leftover food, which is something that rarely happens. I am definately going back. I highly recommend this to everyone who likes thai food.9.5/10

I've eaten in every place in Borehamwood and surrounding areas... the food is here is the best by a mile... freshly cooked ...Great Service ..Wan the chief even comes out to chat and find out how you like the food

I was in Borehamwood on business for a few days and popped into the Alfred Arms for a pint to watch the football. Noticed they had a Thai kitchen on site and the food looked well presented and popular so decided to try some. I'd recommend the Weeping Tiger - sizzling steak hot plate, generous portion, very nicely presented and thoroughly delicious. Thai staff very friendly and value for money great for the quality. Thoroughly recommended!

We went to the Alfred for some food. First time. Pub was noisy, rugby screens were on, but it wasnta problem. Plenty of space. We ordered our Thai meal. Starters of satay chicken, sesame toast & duck.Then we both had sizzling speciality meals, steak & prawn, gorgeous, loads of prawns & steak. Followed with toffee bananas light & fluffy.Very reasonably priced. Freshly cooked with good ingredients, absolutely authentic & delicious, fantastic find. I would strongly recommend the Weeping Tiger at the Alfred to anyone.We will definitely be going back!

Great service at both the bar and for the thai. Always piping hot food and tastes fresh. A lively and comfortable place to eat

It's the second time we have been to The Alfred Arms. There is a Thai restaurant strangely set there. The pub setting makes this place dark and loud. The food is reasonably priced. For 5 people the price comes to £45. The food is very nice and freshly cooked and we assume it was prepared by the Thai people in the kitchen who took our order. The food came very quickly. The weeping tiger dish was delicious and the beef pieces were succulent and tender. The Pad Thai wasn't the best that we have had but it was fresh and yummy! Everytime we looked at the Irish Racing on the TVs the waiters would come and ask if everything was alright..... They were very pleasant. We'll be back again! ;)

Excellent tasty food and very good value. Very polite service. We have enjoyed it every time.It's a shame there weren't many people eating. Perhaps it could be better advertised that you do Thai food! I wonder if it would be possible to separate the dining from the pub? It's such good food it could stand alone as a restaurant.

Visited the Alfred Arms last week for the umpteenth time in 6 months, and once again, was blown away by the quality and service from this fantastic Thai restaurant, hidden away inside the Alfred Arms pub. I was saddened to hear that the restaurant is struggling to keep afloat due to lack of regular footfall, perhaps the marketing of this restaurant should be reviewed, as to anyone walking or driving down the High Street, you wouldn't know it was there! Visitors to the Studios who wish to have a good value Thai meal should certainly scope this out, it's definitely worth the 8 minute walk. Undoubtedly the best restaurant in Borehamwood, in my opinion!

Popped in for a couple of drinks last night and ended up coming home with a takeaway, couldn't fault anything, the person that took the order was really helpful, and the food was excellent, will definitely eat here again.

Great evening Food fresh and delicious.Friendly staff.Chef came out to check if we were happy.Good atmosphereRelaxed atmosphere. Would happily recommend.

Came in for a quick lunch....had a lovely meal, friendly service, and thought it was fantastic value for money. Will definitely come back.

I went in for a drink and was short changed by staff member not manager ....I would be surprised if I was the only one as another customer complained while I was there . So either pay by card get recite or pay exact amount .but my advice is Check your change......

Absolutely delicious & fresh food beautifully presented :) Fantastic friendly service.Definitely worth a visit..

i been there last month,,,when i come home ,,my food was cold......i phoned them ,and report this,,,even they didnt listen to me ......zero customer service..... 0

I was visiting the Elstree Studios and had seen this place on Trip Advisor. The staff we're just really nice when I asked about parking at Elstree the manager said I could park in his own private car park and would open the gates for me despite it being pissing down.Food was lovely and quick. All the bar staff and waitresses were really friendly and couldn't have been nicer. Food was very reasonably priced about £8 for a mains. It is a pub first and a restaurant second.Not exactly posh but very accessible. Beer is reasonably priced as well about £3.30 (Oct 2015) for lager.

Prepare to be pleasantly surprised - the food is freshly made and along with the service, proves superb! A hidden gem. This is well worth the visit.

Hidden away in this pub is a surprising find. A gem of a restaurant where the staff are friendly and the food is really good. We heard about the Thai restaurant with an usual location from a work colleague. Don't be put off by the venue. The food is authentic and very good indeed. It is excellent value for money. We wish the restaurant a lot of success and just hope that it's location doesn't stay a secret for too long as they deserve to do well.

I have eaten here twice with my parents and have to say that the food and service have been superb on both occasions. It would be difficult to find a Thai restaurant of this quality in central London! The staff are lovely as well. My Mum is in a wheelchair and the staff bent their knees in order to talk to her directly rather than talking over her head or to someone else in the party as can often happen in less enlightened and friendly establishments. All in all a brilliant place deserving of much success!

Well it's a nice pub, selling a selection of Beers and Wines. The food is Thia and very reasonable priced. The landlord is a nice fellow, with very good staff.

Found this place on trip advisor when in town at the weekend for strictly. Don't be put off by the pub surroundings the food is absolutely delicious, and the two ladies who were the cooks/waitresses were genuinely soo lovely and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

In the area on business and needed somewhere decent for my veggie colleague. Checked trip advisor and found this gem. Decent beer, fantastic food, fresh with loads of choice. Can't comment on the couple of poor takeaway reviews, but clearly takeaway is never gonna be the same experience as eat in. Great duck rolls for starters, don't miss the freshly made chilli prawn crackers with dipping sauce. And best pineapple fritter ever!Will definitely be back to try some other options next time we're down. Parking available in some residential streets 2 mins to the north.

Came across the Thai food served here after scouring trip advisor for good places to eat in London and also in Borehamwood as that's where I was staying.Ate here twice during my stay with my boyfriend, came the Friday night for dinner and we deliberately stayed in the hotel until check out time instead of heading into London for the last few hours before our train so we could have lunch here before catching out train.On the Friday I ordered a Chicken Jungle Curry, and as I believe someone else said in a review, it could definitely clear a cold! It was delicious but in a way I didn't enjoy it? The curry was much more like a soup, I was expecting a thick, creamy sauce, not a watery broth, but the flavours were wonderful and the Jasmine rice was perfect.My boyfriend ordered the "Weeping Tiger" which came served on a hot plate that was sizzling so loud and producing so much steam the entire pub was watching! He thoroughly enjoyed it! On the Monday we ordered sesame prawn toast with a hot chilli sauce to share that was gorgeous, and thinking about it is making me want a plate of it!I wasn't very hungry so I ordered a simple chicken fried rice which was divine, and like all the dishes we had came with a salad.My boyfriend ordered a Thai Red beef curry which I tasted and was beautiful! The meals range from £6.95-£8.50 with the most expensive thing on the menu being the sharing platter for 2 at £12.50 (which we never got but really want to go back and try!)I almost always stay in Borehamwood when visiting London but even if I'm not staying there I will definitely take a trip through to visit the Alfred Arms and eat in Thai Wan again!

i took take away other day....when i come home , its was cold,its was very cold.i think next time its better to get cold sandwitch from tesco...

We went to the Alfred Arms for a quick drink before looking for a place to eat. We saw the menu on the table and decided to give it a try. We were shocked at the quality of the food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, superb for the price.

We had a takeaway from here. We did not enjoy it at all the food was very bland and although it came recommended we were very disappointed.

This is not a restaurant, but Thai food served within the pub by a contract caterer. We enjoyed an excellent Thai meal there last Friday evening. Despite the pub being packed, and profuse apologies for the time it would take to provide our food, we did not have to wait long and it was excellent. The menu is extensive, servings generous and the price is very reasonable making excellent value for money. We would certainly go back again when we're next in the area.

Review of the month -- Wan what a Thai chef -- one of the best most amazing food & service -- not to mention the Thai food .. Just fantastic -- rating for this food in my opinion 10/10 --- fab taste great service well done guys service next to none

Went to this pub last night, for the first time.The food was exceptional, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will most certainly be going again.

The service was excellent both in bar and Thai section of Pub. Drinks were reasonably priced, and promptly served. I was with a party of 4, Staff very attentive, starters out of this world , Thai fishcakes, Prawn tempura and duck roles, the freshest of vegetables, full flavours and a feast for the eyes. Mains I had Beef jungle curry with rice, the hot melange of this exotic curry help clear the cobwebs of a cold I had all week, therapeutic and enjoyable both at the same time, all presented and served speedily, a friend had a sizzling weeping tiger steak curry, the accompanying sauce was superb in both richness , depth and heat. Finally dessert was a brilliant presentation of pineapple and banana fritters with ice cream, a work of art in itself, it was a pity to eat it but it was enjoyed tremendously. I cannot praise the quality and inexpensive nature of this meal enough, next time I visit I will be lucky to get a seat as I imagine when word gets out, people will be queuing round the block for this dining experience.

We went to the Alfred arms and just experienced a fantastic meal authentic thai wan food .We would thoroughly recommend anyone to try this as we certainly will again soon .

Came here with a friend and was blown away by the Thai food! So authentic, great value for money and amazing if you like seafood. Staff were incredibly helpful, and friendly. Would recommend to anyone!

I have been here twice. First time in a late Saturday afternoon and it just all felt a bit "ghetto". Although it seemed they have spent a fair amount of money on decorating it, it is still a loud boozer with not so charming patrons. But I put this down to it being a Saturday and left, quite quickly with the boyff. Do note that I often go to the pub to watch the football and rugby so I am not being a princess.I went back a week later with my boyff and another couple for some drinks. The brash and hobby barmaid to the thug types hanging around outside, means that I am sure I won't be bothering to go back, no matter how great their sports coverage is.It's rough. Good for sports on TV though. Wouldn't want to hang around here after dark though.

Amazing food!!! Good service! Amazing presentation! Great taste for great prices. See you in a few days!

Thai food-tasty and cute presentation.There was a band playing life music which was very nice...Good atmosphere and nice service...Would definitely go back

Really enjoyed visiting the Alfred Arms, the staff made us feel very welcome, and the atmosphere was just right for relaxing after a hard day in the office! My second visit this month and the quality and service have been second to none! Have eaten both 'Chefs Special dishes' which were extremely tasty. My favourite dish and the one I'm recommending was the 'Weeping Tiger', which gave a number of taste sensations and a nice little kick!I would recommend this pub/restaurant to anyone who loves Thai food, and anyone wondering what authentic thai food tastes like! Very generous portions and excellent value for money!

I have visited twice now and on both occasions have had great food with service to match. All freshly cooked and with plenty of choice. The Weeping Tiger is definitely a must if you like steak. Great value for money.

Thank goodness my brother visiting from the US unearthed the 'excellent' reviews for this Thai food kitchen which opened two months ago in the Alfred Arms pub. The dishes arrived looking very fresh and appetising, they were absolutely delicious, made to order and not pre cooked and re heated. Definitely 'real' cooking, and it certainly is made and presented with heart and soul by two extremely nice Thai ladies. The price is also very reasonable. I will be returning with friends and family. A great addition to Borehamwood's good eating places.

I was staying in local hotel, the reviews were great.The Pub looked a bit basic.The food was cooked by Thai ladies, and was really amazing. Great value for money. Haven't eaten better in the UK

I was in Borehamwood with my fiancée and a friend (we had been to watch a TV recording at the nearby Elstree Studios) and we decided to pop in here on our way back to the station for a drink and a bite to eat.The standard of the food was so much better than I was expecting, we shared fish cakes, spicy prawn crackers and duck rolls to start and then each had a Panang, Red and Jungle curry which were all delicious and enormous (very generous portions!)All washed down with a couple of drinks from the bar for around £40, bargain for the standard of service and food, really enjoyed it!

We were very excited to try this new Thai kitchen as it has numerous good reviews on Trip Advisor. My wife and I do not normally drink and we were quite hesitant at first to come to a pub for a Friday evening meal. As soon as you enter, the atmosphere and entertainment were good and the place did not smell of a typical pub. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They have nice Thai selections and we were not disappointed. Being Asians, we knew that we have come into the right place because the food, from starters to desserts, were very flavourful and delicious, servings were huge and plating was done as if you are eating on a five star restaurant. We will definitely come back!

Decided to go for a cheeky Thai with the girls and ended up in The Alfred Arms. Had the most AMAZING THAI EVER! I would definitley recommend trying the dish 'The weeping tiger' *caution be prepared for tears of joy!* Would recommend this place to every foodie who wants great food a good price and even better service. Thank you guys at Thai wan (The restaurant in the Alfred arms) lots of love Maks, Steph & Jess xx :)

A really tasty and reasonably priced lunch. Authentic flavours and lovely, friendly Thai chefs... Our food was made extra spicy to order :) Will definitely go back.
