The Doctor’s Tonic is a great place to meet with friends, good music playing and sometimes they have bands playing in the green room upstairs. If you like sports, they also have this on several screens at the far end of the pub. Jaden, one of the bartenders is always so friendly, positive and helpful. This pub has great vibes and a great atmosphere, give it a go.

We haven’t been here for some time as old manager was awful and so was food. However today we thought we’d try again and wow what a turn around. Everyone including the manager were lovely. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. Greg served us and what a total delight cheerful, efficient, polite and friendly. He is a real asset to your company. Our food was lovely and no issues catering for the allergies in our party. They went above and beyond. We shall now make this our go to place when we are in the town.

The staff were friendly and helpful too, which helped make the afternoon a great success. For a reasonably priced meal I would certainly recommend The Doctors Tonic.

Ordered the fish and chip dinner, for a friend which he said was nice. Me and my husband had some starters. I ordered cheesy chips but was brought out fries. I specifically asked if they did the chunky chips. Very disappointed as the meal was brought out first, and the starters followed 5 minutes later and because mine had to go back everyone had eaten before I finally got my cheesy chips.

Visited as part of my tour of The World's End pubs, this is number 3 I believe. Only one person serving on a busy Saturday afternoon and nobody to clear glasses in the beer garden which was a shame. There was a DJ playing a fine selection of 70s and 80s reggae closely reflecting the choice of Don Letts at Glastonbury this year. Aspalls was superb.

Pretty decent place to get together with friends or family. It has a nicely decorated front garden with ambient lighting. Inside looks like it has been done to a really high standard with pool table and plenty of tables. Parking is limited though and you have to register your vehicle at the bar for parking. Failing that there is always parking across the street in the Sainsbury's car park but restrictions may apply. Furthermore, most of the place is pretty level so it's relatively easy to use with a buggy or a wheelchair (which is a plus for me). The service is pretty good and almost no wait times. Food is pretty decent and there is a mixture of different options to suit most people's tastes.

Went there on Friday evening for food and drinks with a couple of friends and always have a good time. Was a little shocked to see one barman serving was clearly drunk and even had the cheek to ask us to buy him a pint. This I think was very weird as I’m not sure that kind of behaviour would be tolerated in any other GK establishment. The other members of staff were absolutely fantastic (tall guy and girl) On a whole I won’t let this put me off and will definitely be back. Was the shorter guy. Shaggy looking and skinny with a northern accent

The staff and venue were great. We went out to have some food. We know it is basic on food. I selected three items, small playes. The food ok, however the battered halloumi was cold and so was the karaage sticky chicken was not hot. The crispy smashed potatoes were hot. I didn't want to make a fuss infront of family and did ot want to wait for a replacement. The food was still very tasty.

Staying in Welwyn with my wife for a couple of nights, saw that there was a Greene King pub and expected a quiet restaurant with maybe background music and cosy dimly lit tables. As soon as I walked in, I realised it wasn't that type of place. Very noisy, busy, people standing around the tables drinking, pool cues waving around. Fortunately, I had booked in advance and the barman told me that there was a table for me reserved in a relatively quieter room to the left of the main entrance, which was acceptable. My wife enjoyed her food, but my battered fish was wet and greasy. Would I go again for food? Only if I could guarantee a table in the quieter room and I would probably avoid a time when it is likely to be busy, such as when there is a sporting event being shown, or a weekend afternoon/evening. The staff were friendly and it looked a good pub for socialising watching sport.

We've used this pub as a ramble lunch stop a few times, as well as this one. Staff helpful when I made the booking - and on our arrival, nearly an hour early! This was because we'd come by train to Potters Bar, intending to go on to Brookmans Park by rail replacement bus. However the bus was delayed so we decided to start the walk at Potters Bar instead - meaning a shorter morning walk. Very well looked after by the friendly staff and we all enjoyed the delicious food.

It was a quiet early dinner during half term (Thursday) and we waited over an hour for our food. We had to chase it up several times to be told it's being made now. We only came as we had a voucher for a free kids meal from our energy company. When the food finally arrived it was very mediocre and my child's was burnt, so I had to send it back. We were offered a free round of drinks by the manager but by that time we just wanted to eat and leave asap, as we'd had to wait so long. We've had good meals here in the past, so I don't know what went wrong. Someone should've stepped in sooner to sort this rather than us having to keep asking where our food was. There was no urgency to resolve our wait time. It was only 2 main meals and a kids main meal, nothing complicated, no dietary changes, or special instructions. We were very disappointed and fed up.

Today I had the pleasure of eating one of the nicest meals I have ever had. I chose a dish from the chefs specials menu: a perfectly baked salmon fillet with tender little new potatoes and al-dente broccoli with a delicious lemon butter champagne sauce. Followed by a light and delicate lemon tart served warm with vanilla ice-cream and a a scattering of freeze-dried raspberries. The service was outstanding, the staff friendly, helpful and accommodating and the venue itself was comfortable and very pleasant.

Very expensive sandwiches and while the one I ordered was supposed to come with mayonnaise it actually came slathered in margarine. Service was very quick, however.
