The Moon Under Water in Watford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good atmosphere and friendly staff

It's a wetherspoons , don't get too excited

Lovely spoons visited several times

Clean and tidy tried hard to please ..still cannot understand why it has motorway price's 🤷 2nd visit..more choice on hand pump 6 guest ales and three standard well kept

Drinks at a reasonable price compared to other pubs. Good service from the bar. Downside is no free parking available near this place, otherwise it would be 5 stars

Light lunch pipping hot and excellent.

Great pub and prices.. Bit noisy and claustrophobic.. Low level of music would help help combat the inane chatter from other patrons.

Why do you allow people that don't buy nothing from here, always with food or drinks from outside in?

Nice pub especially if the weather is good for staying outside in the garden

Wetherspoons is what it is, a quick reasonable place to get a beer and snack. However it wouldn't hurt the staff (for table service) to smile..... and I would rather pay another pound and have a DECENT portion of chips with my meal.

Not bad for your typical weatherspoon

Very nice fish n chips and reasonably priced

Usually there's not much you can say about a 'spoons. They successfully churn out the same.food and drink in very similar Wetherspoon environments each with a long walk/climb to the toilets. This venue is no different. Well. Little different. I'm a fan of the mixed grill and felt the meat was a tad drier here than others. The guy that brought my drink then food to me? Great guy! Smiles and banter. The girls that walk the floor and clear tables? Devoid of character and interpersonal skills. Can't complain. Enjoyed my food and drink and watched some Olympics.

A pleasant afternoon at this venue which is a departure from our usual one in Rickmansworth. The clientele are definitely different, but we had a laugh trying to find people with a full set of teeth as we went through many double G&Ts and baby Guinness's! We left happy after a few hours and plenty of laughs. We didn't eat here but it is always consistently good at Wetherspoon pubs so we might try the food next time.

Went with friends for brunch and it's a cheap, cheerful hearty menu. Wide range to choose from. Refillable Lavazza coffee, tea, hot chocolate @ £1.57. No one chases you out. We played kalooki whilst sipping tea and spent a good 3/4 hrs there. Staff are quick, helpful and cleaning constantly. Place is spotless. Will definitely go again

I like this traditional pub. It has an area for everyone plus great food choices, great service and a wide choice of beverages. I didn't partake in the curry club specials last night, but that is one of my favourite meal outs. I went for a link4growth meeting, which kept growing in numbers. The accommodating staff just kept bringing tables and chairs for us. The staff here has always been pleasant and friendly for as far back as remember this place. Moon Underwater is a great place to meet friends or sit quietly writing reviews or reading.

Bradley was lovely, poured a great pint. Highly recommend!

First visit for about 2 years, made the mistake of sitting near the front of the building, was interrupted by a homeless man begging for loose change, this for me, coloured the whole experience, and made me quite uneasy.....( to be fair, this happened , outside the pub, while I slipped out to talk to someone)....

Great atmosphere to relax, eat and catch up, welcoming staff and great food. All you want from the great Wetherspoons pub.

took an hour for my food to come after I’d ordered it and when I asked her it was out of the three times I asked they said it told me it’s coming and then the second time told me the order didn’t go through even though they taken money out of my bank account and the third time she ignored me.

We were here as tourists with local friends. Walking in we were immediately greeted by another customer which was a good start haha. The interior was really charming and I absolutely loved it! The service was top notch, there weren't any poached eggs at that moment but we were given multiple options to replace them and I had a great meal. The 2 pitchers for 15£ was also awesome. We picked the purple rain and Hawaiian punch and they were very yummy! 🤗

Standard 'Spoons menu but a really nice pub with outside seating for warmer days.

Pretty good 'spoons, nice staff and good pricing. Pretty clean and a good vibe.

Spicy chicken pizza was lovely..... why is this bit available in all wetherspoons???

Service was terrible I’m guessing the person serving got out the wrong side of bed Charlie did not understand my order did not want to listen The manager was just as unhelpful Shame I regularly go to another Wetherspoons and never have a problem

Nice food, good menu with planty of options. Lot of offers 🤩 Nice place for a evening 👍

Always a good pint, good food and quick service

Always great service and lovely staff.

Just got back from doctors appointment so didn't have time for breakfast before I left ordered 2 toast and marmalade well the toast was black I sent it back the next lot was still white told the server this is supposed to be golden brown not white I sent that back as well third time lucky? It wasn't much better the reason I'm complaining I don't think the staff know how to cook toast as I've been served quite a few times with burnt black toast or near white come on toast is so easy to do why can't you get it right

Great value drinks compared to all the other pubs in the area. Bar service via the app excellent even on busy evenings 👍

First time around Wetherspoon, and worth it!

All round good pub. But its a weatherspoons so u get what you get. Well worth a visit. And cheap to so all round a good place

Good food quick service and reasonable prices

Excellent place. Nice atmosphere, varied menu, good food and great prices.

The pub which is in the city centre is open for breakfast until 12 noon and offers free refills (all day every day) on tea and Lavazza coffee. For lunch and dinner., there are lighter bites, with deli deal options and vegetarian choices, gourmet burgers and freshly made pizza as well. Nice place for friendly meetings.

Excellent Fantastic always very Enjoyable

It's a Wetherspoons. A good one. Very busy. A popular location for the great of Watford. Great prices. Anyone who knocks a Spoons is just a snob 🤪

Gotten too loud, too crowded, not the same as it used to be, prefer Hemel to be honest.

Wetherspoons #119 A good sized Wetherspoons on Watford High St, with a reasonable sized beer garden at the back of the pub. This is now the only branch left in Watford Town centre, after the Columbia Press was closed last year. Popped in earlier in the very warm day for a couple of pints of Stowford Press. Returned in the evening for a quick bite to eat and a pint before going home The table number was near invisible on the table I was sat at. Which resulted in me ordering to the wrong table. It took some time for drink and food to arrive, as a result. Ordered the 10" Southern Fried Chicken wrap, with a pint of Strongbow Dark Fruits. Total of £6.94 No issues with food or drink when it arrived. Worth a visit if in the area.

My favourite place , a pub not to be missed .

I terror needs a face lift. Bar Mangers appear to be rude during busier times.

Very busy. Very cheep. Good atmosphere.

Cozy atmosphere, extensive range of drinks (we came here in the evening to have a drink). Would definitely come back here if I come to Watford again!

Great atmosphere before the football game in the pub.

We had breakfast at your venue and we were served by Stacey She was absolutely fantastic her customer service was phenomenal .she went over and beyond to ensure we had the best experience

Food cooking wasn't hot enough. Waitress wasn't helpful when I asked for condiments.

Had gammon with salad, and it was lovely. I really enjoyed it.

It's a typical wetherspoons. Relaxed atmosphere, lovely food. Only marked down as was passed over at the bar as a regular approached whilst I was waiting & they got served before me....

Weatherspoon is a cheaper pub the further you get from central London, the cheaper it gets.

Amazing place! One of my favourite pubs in Watford. The location is super central and it's an oasis that brings you back on time a few steps away from the modern shopping centre. The atmosphere inside is super cosy and you can learn some things about the history of the building and the region from the interior. The food is very nice and the traditional English breakfast or eggs Benedict with a coffee or I pint is the perfect brunch that fuels you with energy for the whole day. Also the selection of beers is very very good and you can find a lot of craft and local beer as well as the well known big brands. I highly recommend this place and I'm happy to be there every time I visit Watford.

A very popular and busy spoons.

Everything was really good other than one of our party of three got the wrong size meal served to them. Ordered large ham egg & chips & was given small egg & chips. They also forgot to give us a glass of lemonade. Server went back to check & apologised, it was rectified immediately.

Typical spoons, nice, cheap food, cheap beer, looks a bit rough when you walk in, but dining area is nice enough.

Does everything. Just what was needed 🙂

What can you say, great service especially if you have a table and the app... and the greatest valve for money.

Never had a bad time here. Always a good atmosphere. Good on a football match day. Definitely in need of an update. Looking a bit worn out

Well done Tim Martin. Outstanding. £3 for a pint of Abbot Ale!!!

Usual wetherspoon standard andprices. . Very busy bar but good service. There for the football, both team supporters in there and a great atmosphere.

Ordered large and small breakfast. It was sort of warmish, not hot. Service was excellent.

Went for lunch with family for birthday celebrations. Affordable food with a fair few options for gluten free vegetarians, and with two vegetarian celiacs that is a massive bonus. There was a little confusion with food not being as ordered but quickly resolved.

Decent usual experience for Wetherspooms. Ordered on app. Drinks turned up really quickly, and food followed shortly after.

Excellent food served hot and quickly

Who don't love a weatherspoons for cheap drinks! Typical 'spoons tbh. Basic building compared to some of their pubs. Efficient bar staff on a busy Saturday night.

Great place for a bite to eat and drink, especially away day football fans .

Good choice of food. Enjoyed the ambience but a little noisy. Revisited, the soup was cold twice! The waitress did not understand, but the plate was hot. Revisited again and on this occasion soup cold one more time. Table next to us waited far too long for food, some issues? Staff did not offer a refund to them? Chips are never crisp, always soggy!

I see other reviewers say when leaving poor reviews that "you know what to expect". But what does this say about expectations for a good experience at an establishment, whether or not it's a Wetherspoon franchise location? I am rating them as I would any other restaurant or pub that serves food. The table was sticky. Cleaning standards could be better. The fact is, England's signature famous fish and chips was reduced to a piece of fish 1" wide by less than 2 chips long. There are supposed to be quality control standards, aren't there? The taste was okay, but I was so put off by the miniature piece of fish on my plate, my experience on the whole was shaded by this. Even if you're running a lunch special, then people should be given value for their money. Otherwise, it's not a special. If you knock £1.30 off the regular price and cut the fish size down by 60% then where's the special?

As like all Wetherspoons, the food and drink is very well priced and the table service was very quick despite it being busy on a matchday. One of my favourite places to go for food and drinm

Had a fantastic breakfast and come hot

Staff here are wonderful, but the food let's it down. When people think wetherspoons, they think it's the same everywhere. That is not true. I've had nigh on cremated sausages at points, and other time bacon that may as well have just been fat for the amount of meat on it. Breakfasts are always on point though, I can't complain.

Staff were great but food not so much. What o ordered had run out and the alternative was burnt. Nuked too long I'd say. Was supposed to be chille con carne. Do not recommend

It is a weatherspoons, breakfast is quick and cheap, exactly what was needed.

Pretty standard for a Wetherspoons. Cheap and cheerful, but don't expect wonders and you will be fine.

Well kept establishment! Friendly staff and the atmosphere was pleasant! Will be returning!

Everyday club. Crowd was in 40 plus

A wonderful pub great choice of food and drink, spotless toilets and fabulous garden area,a must visit if in Watford.

Not the best Wetherspoons i have been to, and ironically the head office is in Watford, so you would think that they would have a really good pub. Their excuse would be that football supporters frequent the pub on the match days and its not worth having a really good pub that you feel good to go in and not a dive it is now. My opinion is that all the wetherspoons I have visited over the years, Watford's wetherspoons is the worst I have frequented. Toilets look like they are from the dark ages, and just recently they have two coffee machines on a trial and they are absolutely useless and staff are not interested in maintaining them.

Extremely busy, but service was good, food was quick and hot. Really enjoyed it here

Average. Staff very average and food even more average

Been in more than 50 different Wetherspoons whilst working all over the country, this one is probably the best and quickest at clearing tables when people leave, tables cleared and clean within 5 mins, decent pint of Stella also 👍👍

Good as usual. Classic spoon. Good crowd in it from young to old regulars. Staff work hard to keep this place clean and tidy.

Moons pubs are what you expect them to be. Decent prices, decent range, decent portions. Toilets always require stairs and always busy on weekends. This one is no different but always a great place for a catch up with friends.

I am very local to this pub and have been for about 10 years. However recently its has declined in quality of product, both food and drink, and also the attitude towards customers is slipping. In the past 3 months I have had to send back 3 meals for being to cold, and leathery, the food has obviously been left for hours in a hot hold to become tough and cold, Though the first 2 times it was delt with correctly by the manager or team leader on duty. However today I complained about a cold gormet burger, literally cold to the touch. And upon complaining I was spoken to as if i was a child. Being made to believe I was stupid for complaining as the panic'd team leader/supervisor told me "it was busy"... on a monday... with no apology. They gave me a new burger by which time everything else was cold. I ate a bit of the burger before trying the onion rings, becoming completely put off, more so than i was before, as I once again bit in to leather... but this time its leathery batter and over cooked onion rings. The beer was nice today and I wont be askong for a refund as I paid through the app and can't be bothered with the complication. However I highly recommend going somwhere else. The columbia press is not only more nice in quality, but also has friendlier staff, and amazing food (for a spoons), also the chefs seem to care about the food they are cooking. To justify this comment, I am a bar manager (and chef when needed) and understand the health and safty protocols of a spoons. I will not be returning for fear of food poisoning, and with this post warn the general public to do the same. Too long? Bar staff are great, team leaders are rude, the cooks dont care about health and hygiene, they seemed to be more focused on profit and wastage, then they are customer experience. Update. This place is an embarrassment. Shambles. How does the GM sleep at night being such a failure?

A great Pub, as always has a good selection of beer at great prices. Food is good but some issues when the place is very busy.

Reasonable prices, good range of beers. Busy, but same atmosphere as any other Wetherspoons pub

Always good to visit. Clean, decent staff and great pub atmosphere

It's a place for cheap drinks. That's it.

As good as a public house can get in my books (although I've only been to a few) I went in there to get me some food to eat as I got an extended lunch, the staff were very nice the food was amazing as well. I asked a member of staff if I could have my food in a takeaway box and they accommodated me very nicely and spoke very nicely considering (I work in retail and can understand how you want to throttle somebody, I can only imagine what it be like to deal with drunk people)

Mega lecker und einfach super 👍 essen toll, Getränke toll, Service toll. Was soll ich da noch sagen? Ach ja, 1/3 vom Preis von London City. Danke 👍

Nice place for good enough food for money you pay

The pub is well used and is starting to show it. The beer at some pumps are not working so the barman has to go to another pump. Beer I had tasted off so changed it (without any hassle.

I have tried their festive special burger with cranberry. I’ve been food poisoned and puked at least 8 times in a space of 24h. The stool is completely liquid and have cold shivers and high temperature. Anything I put in my mouth I vomit it even water. Please if the food doesn’t taste nice don’t brush it off straight away get a refund and leave.

Very well priced food! Can be a bit busy on match days.

Great pub...really cheap drinks...a nice place to sit and re charge after shopping

Great pub with good selection of lagers and beers. Staff are quick, friendly and attentive. Always a good night spent here.

Lovely pub plus it was busy with Christmas shoppers always comfortable

It's just a good all round pub that serves food cheap and cheerful

Great Pub, lots of seating area and room for dining. Food is available. Outdoor area as well. Football days, it gets manic, plenty of staff, and good turnaround to get served.

Well only doing this as the member of staff that served us when ordering via app was 100% customer attentive Once she spill A Pint and once I did even tho I said was fine my fault she topped it up Great customer intention I myself worked in this industry and would have her working in a higher position as she cares about customers and getting them come back ( team leader ginger hair) sorry didn’t c ur name - please take the postive feedback onboard as you have a good career I. Front of your with the hospitality industry Food: well just about editable but cold ovi was waiting for a while aswell so guess this was sat underneath hot lamps, place was not busy 1030 When ordered Bar service spot on (team leader ginger hair) Food (McDonald’s) standard

Good food at reasonable price, clean bar

Calidad/precio muy buena, sobre todo considerando la ubicación. No es el pub más selecto de Watford pero por 24£ comimos 3 personas.
