The Grand Junction Arms in Dacorum

It was our wedding anniversary.. Always liked the Grand Junction for its location and ambience beautiful garden right next to the Grand Union Canal.. As it was only a Monday but a beautiful day we thought we would sit in the garden it was about 6pm ish… We both ordered a burger and chips.. So disappointed it was awful! £18 each and the chips were awful too..most of the staff were very polite except one older lady who was very brusque and not a bit customer service freindly, didn’t care that we weren’t satisfied.. We will come back to the Grand Junction but only for a drink..such a shame They definitely need to upgrade their food and chef! Very Poor!

Found this place on way back from Luton Airport to home. Lovely location and looked busy so we stopped for evening meal on a warm summer evening. Sat on the terrace an had a drink and a meal. Excellent service and the food was up to expectations. Will stop here again when up this way.

I did initially email the pub directly but not no reply. My partner and I came over for a few drinks & some food in the lovely garden. I decided to get something from the new food truck, which was the hot dog. It sounded delicious, however I was extremely disappointed to the point I felt it was almost inedible. The menu had specified crispy onions, shallots, American mustard & ketchup. What I received was far from this, 2 barely browned frankfurters, lathered in strong English mustard, no ketchup, with a few spring onions finished with Parmesan. Half of which wasn’t even mentioned on the menu! It felt as if the chef had just decided to throw whatever he wanted on the food. If you know the difference, you will be aware that American mustard and English mustard have two very different flavours and strengths. I feel really disappointed by the experience & that I paid £15 for this. Even more disappointed that as a neighbour of the pub, I received no reply.

We had pre booked a table for a Sunday evening. My friend had a vegan meal which was fine. The rest of us had roasts - one beef, two belly of pork. I had to send mine back as it was cold. My husband said his beef was Luke warm, as was the other pork roast. The beef was not pink in the middle as it should have been and the pork crackling was not crisp. The vegetables were all overcooked. Also the apple sauce and horseradish sauce were missing and we had to request those. Awful quality food at an expensive price.

I have been going here for a while but the food has taken a big nose dive. I may go forthe odd drink because you can't be ripped off with a pint of bee but I certainly won't be eating there again. Look was was given for £25.50. Disgraceful!
