The Goffs Oak in Broxbourne

As soon as we walked in I noticed it was cold and people were sitting with their coats on. The waitress said they hadn’t had time to put the heating on. Everyone was complaining. I wouldn’t even want to eat my meals at home with my coat on. The service was so slow even though it wasn’t busy. We waited over a hour for our starter. There. was not enough staff. The food was nothing special but overpriced. One thing we regret is paying the £24 service charge which was automatically added to our bill.

Went for the music night they do every month, quick bar service even though there was limited people to serve and really yummy picky bits on their new bar menu! Recommend a music night here to anyone!

Great atmosphere! Service spot on . Mya the manager on duty was certainly on the ball ! Good food

Man behind the bar was so friendly and remembered my order each time, great pub and great food find myself in here a lot.

Come here a lot with my mates bar staff are lovely and have a wide range of beer. Would highly recommend to come here with friends and family.

Great service, the staff were friendly and the food was great . Good portion sizes for the price with a large selection for everyone .

Came in for a sunday roast dinner, had a good chat with our server Lou who convinced us to opt for the roast trio which was gorgeous. Really enjoyed our food and drinks and the service was impeccable. Had a lovely time and will definitely be back!

The food was cold and definitely not fresh. The American manger had a rude attitude making maters worse. We will not be going back.

Very local to us and wanted, as requested a quiet corner as we had a niece staying with us and all attending the next day a family funeral. Seating as arranged and a good meal for the three of us, with good table service. I had the mushroom starter, with my wife and guest none..main course was Lamb, Linguine and for me fish and chips..with two large glasses of wine for the ladies and a pint and a half of lager for me, with a coffee for the guest..a good evening, service and food. Nice local venue with good staff and a local ambience. Bill around £120, plus optional tip.

Great service, the food was very tasty, friendly atmosphere! The pub lis very well looked after. We'll definitely return to the pub.

This was our second visit because it has a nice atmosphere. The staff were welcoming, pleasant and very professional, the waiting staff were attentive and very helpful. All round a nice experience, sadly the food left a little to be desired at the price, we found given it was 14..00 the food left a little to be deired, potatoes and yorkshire overcooked and appeared burnt, vegetables dry overall for the cost disappointing.

Typical pub food on a Sunday. Food tasted like it had been prepped elsewhere or a couple of days ago. Friendly staff but very slow service - be prepared to wait and it wasn’t that busy.

whilst eating our starter the waitress approached and asked if we had finished as our main was sitting on the side waiting to be served..... very strange, apparently the screen told them when to cook and calculates the eating time.... not good enough I say, I asked the waitress why she didn't bother to cast an eye on our progress and instruct the kitchen accordingly, we were told the manager would come to us but no one did..... very bad service I would say. I've never been under pressure before to eat to a time scale..... Goffs oak advertise themselves as a restaurant, alas they need more training on how to provide this service. I would say its. more of a upgraded pub

Fantastic food. Amazing staff, Jen and Ellen so kind and welcoming. Both a credit to this business. A really lovely 90th birthday lunch for my mum. Thank you

Lovely comfortable pub 😁 lots of good food choices and friendly staff. Recently refurbished. Would visit again. Good parking. Dog friendly in the bar area. Lots of vegetarian, vegan, gluten and dairy free options available.

We always make a point to go to the Goffs Oak as a catchup with family every 3-months or so! Unfortunately, our last experience table of 7 Saturday 1st July 2023 just did not meet the grade! Because of a large birthday party the table...

I returned to the Goffs Oak for a Sunday family birthday meal and had a great time. We had a drink in the garden before my booking and had a few beers and cocktails, all very nice and there is a cool garden. We went...

We usually dine here with close friends, as it's halfway between us and friends..also in the not too distant past, redecorated and staff, local are very friendly and efficient. Neither couple are in a hurry to dine, so when at times, staff shortages or busy...

This was our third visit , the last being before the refurbishment about a year ago. We went with friends that live nearby. We arrived about 10 mins early and were shown to a nice round table near the garden area. The decor was cosy...

We got there midday and there was plenty of parking in the rear. They have a main menu and a lunch menu which is nice, however many of the options that we wanted to order were fried and once we got our food you could...

Had a great meal but service was terrible. Waited 20 minutes for a drink and about the same for a starter and 30 minutes for our main . We asked for a dessert menu and waited another 20 minutes by which time we gave up...

The food was very tasty, although it could have been hotter. They did n't have enough staff working the tables, so service was rather slow. We were n't in a hurry so not a major problem but maybe explains why the food was only warm....

Came to the Goffs Oak last Friday for some dinner with my girlfriend for some food and drinks, Had a great time and the staff were helpful and attentive. Ordered the padron peppers, halloumi fries and sticky chicken to start, which were all very nice....

new menu is lovely, great choice of wine and cocktails, and the garden was nice with lots of tables!

Great Mother’s Day meal here, set price with lots of choice .Fantastic meal , great service , great staff highly recommend .

Lovely atmosphere and food, with Heather and Connor waiting on our table making us feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming again.

Lovely atmosphere, Heather our waitress was lovely and attentive, happily brought out a birthday cake for us.

really bad service the food took ages to come and when it did it was cold. I wouldn’t recommend it. The girl behind the bar had such an attitude problem we ordered drinks they tok absolutely ages we ordered deserts when they came with no...

Really shocking service from start to finish. It took us 15 minutes to order a drink, manageress (I assume, with glasses?) was just chatting to colleagues behind the bar, completely inattentive to paying guests. It then took another 15 minutes to get a food order...

Met up with some friends for lunch, The Goffs Oak being half an hour away for both of us. We had a lovely lunch in a traditional pub setting with a choice of real ales. Good selection of mains with some traditional puddings including apple...

Outstanding food and service! The food was delicious and the service was lovely. Great family experience

Beautiful interior lovely staff lovely food! Coke here with my mother my wife and have a booking to catch up with all my cousins!

1st time visit , if you want great staff , food, and cleanliness you've found the right place ? FAUTLESS Everything was perfection start to finish

Came here to have a roast with friends. The staff were all so caring, We met Hannah first, then were blown away by Connors concern for how we were. Bumped into Elliot at the bar, lovey girl, and then the lovely Athena. Well done whoever...

Fantastic 3 course meal with friends Couldn’t fault any of our choices. Nice wine selection Friendly attentive members of staff and management

Searched trip advisor for somewhere to eat as had meeting in Cheshunt. Friendly service. Excellent food

Went on a Tuesday with a group of friends for dinner. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly and competent. I had the prawns to start followed by the pork belly with scallops which were both delicious and a fair price. I couldn't...

Good atmosphere, lovely interior, friendly staff and delicious food. Two course menu was excellent value. Would definitely return again.

Came here on Wednesday with my family to celebrate and enjoyed quick service, great food and friendly staff!

I came in for an evening Dunday roast. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. The lovely Louise on bar made us feel very welcome. Thank you

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very clean! A great choice of food, with lunch time menu offers, as well as a normal menu! My husband was delighted that ‘The Goffs Oak’, offered a session beer, (Sippa) which tastes great and not strong! The staff are...

Walked in for a lunch, very busy with no staff, was looking forward to eating as eaten here before but did not get our drinks taken even after 10-15 minutes of being at the table, had to leave otherwise we would have waited a long...

We have been to this restaurant many times and normally enjoy everything about it. Today, there was no heating on just an enclosed fire near the foyer. It was freezing. If that is all the heating you are going to have in future, then won’t...

Visited the Goffs Oak recently. Had a warm welcome on arrival , staff were very friendly and , food was lovely , especially the belly pork and scallops , Very reasonable Would recommend and have !!

I visited the Goffs Oak over the Christmas period and was delighted by the friendly welcome. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious. All in all a fantastic eating experience

I realise it was Boxing Day, but this visit was also My wife’s birthday so a family occasion. The service was pleasant but very slow, the first course was fine, but the second and main course was very poor. Overcooked and hard meat, barely warm...

I last visited this restaurant in 2019, and walked out then. Not much has improved in the last 3 years!! Part of a large family group, 4 generations all out for a pre Christmas meal. We ordered our meals back in October, and if we...

Always have salt n pepper squid but thus time it was very soggy not at all crispy and the dip it came with was just plain mayo very dissappointed

We had an excellent evening at The Goffs tonight. We were a large party of about 16. The food was good , nicely presented and tasty. With prompt & friendly service from our waitress Olivia, it made for a great evening.

Food was excellent, service was even better! Special mention to our waitress Heather who was really brilliant. Very efficient and great service! We will be back for sure!

Lovely food and service from Lucy. Sticky pig sharer and the new salmon dish were delicious. The new look Goffs Oak is amazing!

9 of us had a lovely dinner and great service from Lucy - food was lovely and hot, tasted great and nothing was too much trouble

Came in with friends for a catch up. Nice food, lovely new decor, chatty staff and lots of drinks! Will be back, especially to try the lamb as it came out while we were eating and looked beautiful!

Decent food, good service and we’ll priced. We’ll be coming again. Plenty of room, especially outside, (when the summer comes round again) and a reasonably sized car park too. Failing that, street parking outside.

Food was fine, though perhaps not as good as sometimes. Unfortunately service wasn't. We asked for water twice, and gave up - sorry but just becasue we;r edrinking wine doesn't mean we don't want water as well. Asked the manager about booking for boxing day...

Visited this pub Saturday early evening. Just had a few drinks but what a beautiful pub! Definitely will come back to eat! Young barman who served us was v v polite and smiley. Loved the decorations and the vibe! Will try the food next time...

Came in for a birthday meal for my mum and it was lovely! We were in mid week when they seemed shorter staffed and we were never forgotten and never left with empty glasses. Our dessert for my mum came out with happy birthday written...

Came for dinner and was greeted by Jennifer who recommended a table by the window in the new restaurant which was decorated beautifully. Ordered the camembert for starters and two roast pork for mains which came out quickly and to perfection! Louise spoke to us...

Delicious food, excellent staff, spotlessly clean in all areas, in fact delightful! We had a marvellous lunch, the food was extremely tasty, and an excellent menu! We were served by Alex, who was very friendly and knowledgeable, plus Luke who made us a delicious macchiato,...

Visited last night - 8/9 & had a fabulous evening, the refurb looks great & we had a lovely table with a comfortable sofa… we were celebrating a friends graduation, so it was a very special occasion indeed! We were served by a lovely waitress...

Service was immaculate, was served by Heather who was a delight she was very knowledgeable and helpful. Lovely atmosphere and food. Will definitely return!

Tbh the food on the most part was good although roast potatoes were like bullets and the crumble top very dry and not cooked correctly.The main issue was lack of cleanliness which necessitated us cleaning our table with wet wipes as very sticky.zno one came...

Was one of my favourite places to go, even held a family event there a few months prior but since being renovated the place has become a shambles. The owner is one of the rudest people I have ever met, not sure how he is...

I visited the goffs oak pub for dinner ealier. Was amazing food and service was great will be returning soon!!! Can’t believe how good the refurb was aswell. Was very impressed and would recommend for everyone.

Fabulous pub and environment service was brilliant, will definitely return in the future for dinner and drinks with family

Had a great lunch with friends, service was excellent and very friendly, had the fish and chips, very good and the chunki chips were great

Was visiting friends and family and called into Goffs Oak for a couple of drinks. The beer garden is lovely and staff friendly and helpful. Didn't have any food but it looked lovely. Will definitely visit again when visiting family.

Decided not to cook last Sunday and visit this local pub instead. Thoroughly enjoyed my breaded brie & chutney - yum. Very relaxed with good service from our friendly waitress Elliot.

We went for food recently and wouldn’t recommend after the experience we had. We had to wait over 45 minutes for our starters which were over cooked. I had the prawns which were incredibly chewy and a family member had the squid and unfortunately said...

Came in during the evening for some drinks and had a nice warm welcome from our server Annet. She was very friendly and made our visit quite enjoyable.

Went here Sunday evening with friends that live locally. From the outside it doesn't look anything but internally it's stylish and cosy. On Sundays there is a limited menu but still offers a good choice. Unfortunately they had no steaks at all either filet or...

Amazingly tasty food and great service too. Special thanks to Elliot for being so friendly and making our visit very enjoyable and comfortable.

I visited yesterday with my friends and was greeted warmly. The service was outstanding with a special mention to our waitress Robin who was efficient, friendly and professional. The food arrived swiftly and was of high quality, which we all found very tasty. I will...

Really friendly restaurant and 5 stars to Robin who was such a lovely waitress.There was no rush and the food was very varied and lovely , and they cater for Vegetarians. A good lunchtime or evening place to sit back relax and enjoy some quality...

Had a great meal, lovely garden, in the sun until about 5pm at this time of year, staff were attentive and they are dog friendly in garden and a few tables inside

Came in last Wednesday night for a catch up, the resultant was fully booked and looked like there was only 2 girls working, a manageress and waitress. They explained the service was a little slow due to a shortage of staff, however we didn’t even...

Love this pub, can’t wait to visit again. Food is great and the service is spot on with super friendly staff.

Was busy at lunch time today, lots of outside tables and diners, but great service from Alex and Mitch as always, friendly, polite and quick service despite a lot of customers. Enjoyed the visit and will definitely return for lunch again.

Booked in for Saturday lunch with a friend. Food was nice but service was terrible hence the 3 stars. Took forever for the waitress to come back and take our food order all whilst chewing gum; not pleasant when you’re sitting at a table and...

ordered roast beef which was suppose to be sirlion beef tough and cold sent it back in all fairness they gave me another fresh meal which was hot but tough beef and soggy potatoes and veg will not go back

We last visited the Goff’s just after the reopening after lock down and it was great. Todays visit the standard had risen to brilliant - great choice of menu using fresh tomatoes not tinned in the pasta and a pork belly to die for -...

A couple of friends fairly regularly dine here as it's about the same drive for both couples. Previously dined there in September 2021, when through no fault of theirs, and also on a Monday evening, only us four were dining..with about 2 in thebar..this venue...

Me and my boyfriend came for a random meal on a Tuesday. We were greeted nicely and we’re seated efficiently in a nice corner table. Food was lovely and drinks the same. Service was efficient with a lovely smile by all. Thankyou for a lovely...

A friend and I came to the Goffs for dinner and we were not disappointed. Our surroundings were lovely, dinner was perfect, we were served by the lovely Natasha who couldn’t have done more for us. Will definitely return soon. Plus they allow well behaved...

Great place to meet with work colleagues. Booked a private area to hold a presentation. Staff were welcoming and couldn’t do more to help us and the group dining menu selection was spot on!

We hadn’t been out for a Sunday lunch for all of January due to my daughters having exams so we were really looking forward to it. We arrived at 4:00pm for lunch but had to wait until 4:15pm for our drinks order. The starters were...

After previous disappointments here, we decided to attend early for a simple starter and main course. The restaurant was almost empty, but after waiting 30 minutes for the garlic bread starter we decided to leave as we were given no reason for the delay when...

We went there today and were very impressed. The food was delicious the young servers Lucy and Adriana were very attentive without being pushy. The ambience is very calming and the five of us managed to talk to each other easily. I am sure we...

Came in tonight and walked into a very busy restaurant, but we were served promptly by our sever Laura. She sat us quickly and got us out drinks straight away. She was very knowledgable on wines and never let us have an empty glass at...

Came in with my girlfriend, great staff great service. Great starters and mains and cocktails to pair. Will be returning.

Came for my brothers birthday. There was 6 of us and cannot fault the service from all the team. Lucy was amazing and was always checking on us and was so bubbly. Food was 10/10. Thank you

Came for food and drinks with me and my girlfriends, served by Jenifer who took our order and recommend the lamb which was delectable! Desserts ensued and they just topped off a wonderful evening, would 100% come back just for a brownie and baileys latte.

We came in around Christmas time, cannot fault the staff. The hostess especially, I think she told us her name was Louise? She was so welcoming, had a chat with my partner about Covid, the current news etc and recommended us some food. We had...

Pretty poor food. Half of the party had food that was cold/tepid. Desserts were barely warm and crumble seemed raw - berries barely cooked, thin watery syrup and crumble topping was powdery. Very disappointing given the price.

Came in with my parents today and had a really lovely lunch. Our waitress was an older lady who was warm and welcoming. An altogether very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon

I came in for a meal with friends on Wednesday. The food was great, as ever, and the service exceptional. We were a served by an older lady called Annette who was friendly and knowledgeable

The pub has a lovely atomosphere. The quality of the food was great and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend.
