The Grand Junction Arms in Dacorum

We enjoyed a leisurely dinner with family and friends in an oak outdoor pod. Lovely to have space to relax and enjoy the food alongside conversation. Our waiter was upbeat, helpful and friendly even bringing our food with a smile in the rain! Great flavours and good choice to suit all tastes. We will be back!

Ridiculously long wait for overpriced, badly cooked food. The pub is in a beautiful setting, right by the canal. A lovely place to sit. I gave it a star for that. We ordered a fish finger sandwich with chips on the side, a fish finger sandwich on its own and a separate portion of chips. £29. After waiting 50 minutes I went to see where our lunch was. They then started to make it. Dry bread, the majority of it crust, fish fingers that were on a par with frozen supermarket ones, limp salad and a few (roughly ten) soggy chips. Two lemonades and a lime juice and soda £10. Avoid.

There were 10 of us and sat in the garden,. Been there before and had food in garden, this time we told we could not order food but to have it from the burger van which was on site.. oka y we thought, then sitting behind us were a couple and they had food served to them from from the restaurant. I knew because it came out on plates. Not all of us ate. It just put a bit of a downer on out day out.

I have been here a few times now to be able to give a very honest review and my overall experience has been very disappointing. The premises is lovely, great location, lovely interior however the lack of service, the quality off food is such a let down. My most recent visit on a Friday evening we were seated for food and given menus however we had to approach someone to be seated after 10 minutes of standing around! We’d booked a table for table service however had no table service whatsoever, we ordered all our drinks at the bar, we then asked someone if we could order food he rolled his eyes and said ‘can’t you just order at the bar’ so we did! The food was very average for the price you pay it’s disappointing (we all had fish and chips) we were given no cutlery we had to again get up and ask for this, there was no check backs just a complete lack of service! The only time we were approached was to be told they were doing last orders the lady was very unprofessional with a lolly in her mouth calling us babes and asking ‘what’s the crack then just the bill’ there was a 10% service charge which considering everything we ordered we went to the bar for is completely unacceptable! Once paid she proceeded to say ‘cheers babes love yous’ she made us feel uncomfortable and was so unprofessional. Overall after 3 visits I will not be back! Every time there is a lack of service such a shame after the renovations took so long!

The food was amazing! All 3 of us had fish and chips, generous portions & the fish was cooked perfectly, loved the chunky chips & mushy peas too! Wish I took some photos but completely slipped my mind Our service was outstanding from start to finish, Lauren was on the ball, so polite and knew how to deal with a*sehole customers (table next to us were really sour for no reason at all, just wanted money off the bill) - nevertheless we overheard other nicer people say how impressed they also were with the service they received

I'm presently writing a review ONLY of the online booking service and T&C's and to let the Pub know that they've missed a booking because of this. We've had nice meals here previously, but we've not been for a couple of years. Tried to book a table online but the booking system will only allow you a 90 minute slot and wants your date of birth. Seriously?? I'm sorry but neither of these things would make me want to book. Why not ask if over 18? Why capture other sensitive personal data? And 90 minutes? One of our party is over 90, she wouldn't order and eat a full meal in that time.

We booked a table outside so we could take our English Setter with us. When we got there the rain had set in. The chef appeared and immediately invited us to sit inside and to bring the dog so a damp evening rescued. Great decor...

For what was supposed to be a lovely birthday meal turned in to what only I can describe as a disaster! Over 30 minute wait to get our drinks to our seated table outside, 1.5 hours for starters to come, only 4 out of 9...

As others have said, this could and should be the place to come to. Lovely setting, but you can get much better food and service elsewhere locally for much less. Almost £20 for gammon, 2 eggs and chips!! The gammon was a decent size, but...

Really nothing special. We found a few items not available on the menu at prime time on a Saturday, we also weren’t told this until it was time to order when most of us had chosen something not available. A simple mention when we were...

Had a lovely meal here with generous portions. The service from our waitress, Hannah. was so good. Very welcoming, friendly and very efficient. Very enjoyable experience.

The food here is really nothing special given what they charge for it. The worst aspect though was the complete lack of leadership amongst the team. Our main courses must have come out of the kitchen over the course of about ten minutes. the two...

Excellent venue which we thoroughly enjoyed although there were slight issues with the food. We had to hurry to take our friends to the airport as they were going back to Northern Ireland. We didn't want to make a fuss but the food we thought...

Pub avec un immense jardin où il est agréable de s'arrêter boire un verre et manger quand on se promène...
