The Grand Junction Arms in Dacorum

Terrible food. Nice beer garden. £18.50 pie and chips with one lump of grisol in it and two other pieces of meat. Nobody came and asked about the food and the table was not cleared whilst we waited for over 30 minutes.

The Grand Junction Arms is on the road from Dunstable to Tring and is on the outskirts of Tring next to the Grand Union Canal. A short walk up the canal is the junction of the canal where the branch to Wendover heads off. The pub has a very big outdoor area with plenty of seating, toilets and a bar. There is a large covered area as well as other benches to sit on. There is also a children's play area. I had been exploring the area and decided to get some refreshments before I continued my walk along the canal. The lady who served me was friendly and polite and the service was good.

We used to visit this pub many years ago on the way for dinner with some teetotal friends in Tring. We just had a pleasant lunch with our grandddaughter. Well presented food and good service Rather odd choices on the menu.

Recently came here for an evening meal. The service was incredibly slow even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The food, when it eventually arrived, was average at best. Disappointing especially as we’ve been here for drinks on several occasions. My partner complained to the staff on the evening and followed up with an email; he didn’t even get a response. Would not eat here again.

A very disappointing experience at the restaurant. Despite an easy booking service our visit was marred by several issues: We had to seat ourselves and find extra chairs. Prompted for drinks, but no menus offered. Burnt artisan bread for starters. Plates left uncleared both courses. Had to request dessert menus. Kids exhausted after over 2 hours at table, last patrons in entire restaurant after waiter left for night. Payment handled poorly, dry apology received. Expectations for your newly designed space which looked great bar the dangerous toilet stairs, with half a fell short.

We had a delicious meal in this charming canal-side pub in Bulbourne, just outside Tring. We had hummus and flatbreads with olives to start, as well as the wings - all very tasty. The mains are all generous - especially the fish and chips! Lovely staff, service was quick, but not pushy. A great evening out!

Once again a really great experience! The manager -Franco was extremely helpful! All went smoothly & and our Waitress Lauren was very nice! Food good and arrived hot and quick! Good menu!

We had a family gathering to celebrate birthdays in our family. The service was excellent, the food was tasty and large portions. Would recommend this place. A special thank you to the lovely waitress who had such a lovely nature. Thank you Would highly recommend and definitely will return

We took friends for lunch here this week - the staff were welcoming - there were only 2 other tables occupied - the food is really quite good - pies and fish and chips being the order of the day - quality and service very good - only two young ladies serving so they would be pushed on a busy day - the configuration in the dining area is narrow due to the old building so could be squashed - the main issue is although a canal side restaurant - you can’t see out and the windows have blinds down - which is a pity however this will be a great place in the spring summer - big garden - some under cover tables and pods - A good experience overall

We hadn’t booked but we got a lovely table.. Had a delicious Sunday roast of turkey wrapped in bacon which was absolutely delicious and finished off with the spiced apple and mincemeat strudel

Called in for Sunday Lunch. A decent sized car park with good access. We hadn't booked but we were quite early and they did fit us in at a window table with a pleasant view. The staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. Opted for the Sunday Roast which was tasty and plentiful .. and we did manage a dessert too. It's situated ideally for a canal walk.

We had the most amazing time from the moment we arrived in the car park in our motorhome, (free to park) we needed water for our heating, frank the manager sorted it out for us and lent us a hose and allowed us to fill up from there garden area, we were meeting friends the following day for Sunday lunch, so we stayed overnight and had drinks, the bar staff were very friendly and accommodating, we had lunch the following day and it was excellent, can not fault this place or the staff, 100% recommend.

Much improved since reopening. Attentive , helpful service. Will definitely be back in the near future! Lovely festive decs. Thank you

Went last night for a meal last night It was minus 1 outside .when we got there they didt have heating on .we were seating close to window was so cold .asked if they could turn heating on .they did for about 20 and then turned it back of .we did ask if they would turn back on but they never did .it was so cold

Menu not great, but, the fish pie I had was nice, service very slow, took over 2 hours just for 1 course each.

Very disappointing this time. We waited an hour for our main course despite pre booking the service was poor we ate up stairs in the restaurant and the staff were overwhelmed and short staffed. Nobody was manning the bar at all and the manager was...

The venue, garden, location and staff were all OK. However two things spoiled it for us. First there was a dreadful sewerage smell pervading the whole area - not the best thing when you're having lunch. Second at least three of our dishes were poor....

So very disappointed. Very slow service. So many items on the menu were not available. Will not be going back!!

Couldn't believe how limited the menu was. Two sides of A4 paper and a very limited "specials". Nothing really appealed, so we had 3 X gammon steak, egg and chips. And that's what you got. No side salad garnish, boring potato wedges, the plate looked...

Visited in a group of three with my Dad and daughter and had booked an outside table. However, my Dad wanted a pod as he felt the seating was more comfortable and the gentleman who greeted us was happy to oblige. It was a lovely...

We had a nice bit of lunch in the garden on a sunny summer day . Steak baguette , Chicken & Bacon baguette and a Prawn Cocktail. All nice and tasty. Service good - quick and helpful. Lovely spot on the canal . Recommended .

We were a party of 6 and had a 1230 booking. I called ahead the day before to book a table (staff member I spoke to was great) On entering the main building we were greeted and seated. There are three menus (main menu, specials,...

6 meals ordered in a rather dirty pod. 4 meals ok - although Goan prawn curry super spicy! One meal luke warm but edible. One meal, gammon, sent back as it was massively over cooked. On arrival told there are no burgers or chunky chips....

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.

Arrive à 12.30, servis à 14h. Avec 2 petits de 5 et 2 ans, pas facile Amateurisme total Dommage la...

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...
