The Paddock in Dacorum - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of the best pubs in the area now with the new management — delicious homemade food, honest and hospitable service, and a warm and cosy environment. Having lived in the area all my life and with a career in the culinary world, this is an excellent restaurant worth dining at.

Under new ownership and they are trying hard! They were very busy when we called but we were found a table for us and our two dogs. Had a lovely meal served by friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate us. They deserve to do well.

the pub has reverted to its old name - the Chipperfield Boot - the new owners are very enthusiastic - the place is spotlessly clean and the food is very good - people who have made a brave move to take on a pub and put all their efforts into doing an excellent job deserve support - if you go once you will be back!

Awful Sunday lunch. Don't bother as the food is ridiculously expensive for what you get. We should have known it would be dreadful when they had availability for a table of 8 last minute and when all the other pubs in the area were fully booked! Drinks glasses were filthy. Lady serving spent most of the time in the bar chatting and drinking with her mates. We had to go into the bar area everytime we wanted a drink. Her attitude was as if we were a nusence not paying customers...by the way we were the only customers in the restaurant! Roast beef was a fatty piece of steak. Food was cold, service was slow and we only ate because we were hungry and had invested 2 hours in there! Never go there again! This could be a great place, if they had better management...and a serious clean!

If I could rate 0, I would. We booked our table, well in advance, table for 4. Was a quiet night, 2 tables of 2 and a table for 4. We ordered our drinks (half of these were wrong) and waited 50 minutes to ask if we could order our food... to then be told we would need to wait a further 20 minutes to ORDER our food. This is completely unacceptable to leave someone waiting 1 hour and 10 minutes to even order food, when they had pre booked with 3 other tables, 2 of which were already eating. We wont return.

We recently visited the paddock for the first time and were very pleased with our meal and experience! We had tapas style starters and traditional ‘pub grub’ for our mains which were very tasty. The landlady was very friendly and even gave us some cooking tips for the tapas ‘patatas Bravas’ which we will be trying out at home. Overall a lovely dining experience with tasty home cooked food - would definitely recommend and visit again soon!

Returned here yesterday for a quiet Monday evening dinner. We chose the Pork 'N' Beef Meatballs for starter to share, and we both opted for the Chicken Schnitzel which was just the best I have ever eaten. A huge, healthy portion that neither of us could finish. Very reasonable bill and will not be so long coming back again next time.

Great food, friendly staff, and lovely garden

Worst roast I’ve ever had delivered. There was supposed to be 2 roast beef dinners and only one turned up with no gravy, no cauliflower cheese and no Yorkshire pudding, looking very sorry for itself. I’ve added a picture for full effect. Then when I called I got shouted at and hung up on. Will never order again. Total order was £59 Complete shambles.

Lovely village pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff

We didn't go inside as it was such a lovely day. It was lovely sitting in the garden enjoying our lovely meal. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Fantastic venue. Loved the famfest screening for the football

Burgers were very good and excellent 'slaw' and skin on chips. Sadly, chicken wings were not good. Battered and deep fried with unusual, unspicy sauce. Buffalo wings are very easy - baked then drizzled liberally with 'Frank's sauce'. Maybe check out the excellent wings from 'The Wing Factory' in Watford. GET wings sorted then all would be 5 star.

A welcome stop while cycling on a hot day , friendly staff and free nuts !

Had fish and chips, batter was light, fish succulent and the chips were just brilliant...superb lunch! Thank you!

A very pleasant pub, welcoming staff and GREAT FOOD!! I would highly recommend the Bad Boy Moses burger

The new BBQ menu offers something for everyone. I had chicken my husband duck and my daughter the vegan option. We opted to add chips and salad as sides too. So happy to see our local pub open again. Warm welcome from Nicole and team. All in masks and observing covid rules.

A few of the negative reviews should have rang alarm bells. However, we did not check TripAdviser and went off the back the pubs relentless Facebook advertising. Big Mistake - HUGE!Let's start with the pricing - 2 burgers, 2 sides and one SMALL bottle of coke = £26. Really?Social Distancing - the young chap who served us observed the rules to a tee. A grey haired lady walked into the garden and approached another table saying "should we hug? Shall we? Let's hug!" It is this ridiculous behaviour (literally day 3 since the opening of lockdown) that will put us back into lockdown. She then proceeded to hug another tables' guests (presumably regulars) and then walk off! She appeared a while later with a face mask on (bit late for the that love!)!!!Food - oh dear. Half cooked luke-warm burgers that were barely edible. The skin on chips were the saving grace. Onion wings were frozen from a bag! The chicken burger was so oily that we gave up half way through. The beef burger was semi raw and barely warm.Service - we were asked at the END of the meal if everything was okay. We gave the above feedback re food - nothing! a sorry was all we got. Why bother even asking us?!

Excellent food, great service, highly recommended

Had a fantastic Sunday roast. Both the lamb and beer were perfectly cooked, and accompanied by lovely sides: cauliflower cheese, crispy potatoes, parsnips, broccoli and a big Yorkshire puddings. Would definitely recommend.

Always a warm welcome from Nicole the owner. So lucky to have this as our local pub. I love the new tapas menu as you can have as little or as much as you want depending how hungry you are. My daughter is a vegetarian so we chose ‘from the field’ menu. But I have had the meatballs and other dishes on previous visits ... the baba ganoush is to die for and must he tried. The chef is Spanish and all the tapas dishes I’ve had are authentic and yummy. Everything arrived as it should and Nicole recommended a Sauvignon blanc to go with it. We were also bought a complimentary pot of herbal tea. For Nicole to remember we don’t drink ordinary tea was extra special service. The pub is warm and cosy especially after a cold damp walk! We always take our wellies off and pad around in thick socks. She has a couple of log burners for extra cosiness. The tables are spaced so socially distancing is easy and we felt very comfortable being there. Thank you Nicole.

Omg! We have just visited the paddock, Chipperfield. We should have walked out as soon as we got in there. The barmaid was very hostile. When asked if they did sandwiches she replied NO! We decided to go with chicken skewers and a tomato and basil salad as the other other choice was a Greek salad and I don’t like olives or feta cheese. When the food arrived, it was two skewers, one piece of chicken on one skewer and a Greek salad, I said excuse me we didn’t order the Greek salad, she replied, abruptly, yes you did, I was so shocked, how rude, I replied we didn’t, she just looked at me and insinuated that my husband had ordered it. Even though I don’t like it. I was ready to stand my ground, my husband said just leave it, we won’t ever come here again. I could not believe that she blatantly refused to replace the salad that she obviously got wrong. So I would say to anybody don’t go in there, unfriendly, overpriced, unsatisfactory standard. An overall below par snack, which including a pint of Guinness and a j20 £24!! Outrageous!!!

A group of us had dinner here on Monday to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious, I would definitely recommend the tapas. The waitress was excellent and the manager was very accommodating even letting us bring our own birthday cake. Great value too!

Pleasantly surprised to find Tapas on a Saturday lunchtime in rural Hertfordshire. Good service with nice food and drink . Will call again when passing.

Always good and open at 11am a double plus ➕ done a lovely job on the garden

We arrived at 6.30pm and were one of three tables there. The food took over an hour to arrive and was not all served at the same time. What arrived was wrong including meat omelette for two vegetarians. The food which did arrive was tasty but was incorrect, not worth the wait at all. The staff were incompetent but not rude. The order wasn’t written down which I think was a big part of the problem. Even the bill took too long to arrive. We refused to pay for incorrect items and those which were still not served by 8pm. I was tempted to leave without paying after the experience. I think this is a shame as the food that was correct was nice and the staff with more training and management have potential. Sadly there is a lot of improvement needed here. A simplified menu and a basic ordering system with defined roles for staff would improve the place. 8.30 at home with a shop bought cheese supper for me. ☹️

Really disappointing. It took well over an hour for our food. We were given some food on the house as it was what was served wasn’t up to scratch. But the lady who took the order didn’t write it down, and what we did order arrived very late and was wrong. It even took about 20 mins to get the bill. The food was nice and if it wasn’t late, or if the order wasn’t wrong, i would recommend it. But sadly this place needs a lot of work on its systems you could tell things were all over the place. Apparently the chef broke his hand the night before, but in this instance they should have produced a very simple reduced menu as what they were trying to cook clearly was overwhelming for the temporary chef. A real shame.

Well managed for COVID, nice local pub with good food. Greene King IPA well kept, nice big garden out at the back.

Average tapas at high prices. Terrible service - we complained about a warm pint and were condescended to by the owner, who refused to replace it (insisting that ipa is supposed to be warm, and that if we wanted cold beer we should have ordered lager). Plates were wet and table was disgusting - could bring up dirt in the table easily. £90(for 5) reduced to £60 by eat out to help out, for an objectivly bad 50 minutes of dining.

I love Spanish food so was excited to try it out. My mom had seen people saying it was really good. I guess they were having an off day as the service was very slow. The food was not the best tapas iv ever had. Edible. But not wow factor. I feel like they need to step up their game. Disappointed as I can see other reviews saying they had a great experience

Great genuinely local pub with spectacular food. I had the fish - the batter was amazing whilst the family had the tapas. Generous portions and delicious

We heard good things about the new Tapas menu at the Paddock. We took advantage of the 'eat out to help out' promotion. The Tapas dishes were all home made, freshly cooked and arrived hot. We ordered baby suit, meat balls, chicken skewers and tortilla. All fantastic! Molly was our waitress and she did a great job.We will be returning soon whether it be half or full price.Something different from a curry, burger or fish and chips.

Lovely pub with a really good garden. Plenty of tables outside with space. Only down point is just a single ale available.

My friend and I popped in her for a quick bite to eat between walking in the area. The pub has a large garden that is wasn't busy at all so there was plenty of tables free. We both ordered the burgers as didn't fancy the tapas. The tapas menu did look good as there was alot of choice, but we just wanted something simple. The burgers are home made and full of flavour, but the one thing that let it down was that they weren't very hot. They were cooked through to being medium but I think they probably had been left on the side for abit before being served to us. The main issue of the garden was a natural problem that wasn't a fault of the pubs, wasps swarmed our table. At one point there was 10 wasps. There seemed to be alot in a short space of time so there must be a nest near by. So becareful when sitting outside. The part that let the evening down for me was when I told the manager or bar lady about the amount of wasps she just said how this is England and wasps don't need visas to come here. Umm rude much! I was quite taken back by what she said! I am English and very aware of bees, wasps etc being a main part of rural life. I was more worried about her customers being stung, especially if someone had an allergic reaction. It was a shame as this pub could have potential to be great. I just think some customer service skills are required.

I love tapas and was delighted by the baby octopus. All of the other food was great, the garden is quiet and the service is friendly. Check it out.

We enjoyed a lovely mid week lunch here, friendly helpful staff, and an interesting and varied tapas menu. Food was freshly prepared, and absolutely delicious, will definitely go there again.Plenty of space inside and outside in these COVID times, and a safe play area for children.

Tapas and lovely quiet setting perfect

If The Paddock want to attract diners, they need to do better than this. Simply writing the order down rather than assuming you can remember it would be a start. If you get the mains order wrong, trying harder to remember the dessert order wouldn't be a bad idea either. And if you bring the wrong desserts as well, when your customers tell you what they ordered, don't say aggressively "No you didn't!". We certainly won't be going back.

A shockingly shocking experience - the server didn’t know the difference between a Diet Coke and a Coke Zero max, secondly when we asked if they did a vegetarian roast she answered “we don’t do fake meat!”. In ordering we order 2 x starters which never appeared. So having no option we had a very disappointing vegetarian pasta dish and a very average roast. Then on ordering dessert - I even repeated the order and when it arrived was wrong. I was then told that I was in fact the one in the wrong. With my entire party then having to defend our choice of dessert. All in all a very poor experience.

This is a favorite go to spot well worth the drive into Chipperfiled. The Menu is new and always a fresh meal is prepared. The mussels, whitebaite, the prawns and braised beef were out of this world amazing!

We were the only people in the restaurant which seemed a bit strange for a Saturday evening but nevertheless the pub was all set up for many more. The lady serving us was attentive and the fish and chips which came first was piping hot. Unfortunately the rest of our meals were served on cold plates which lead to very cool meals. The hot gravy arrived several minutes later rescued things a bit but hot plates would have meant that our meals had a chance of staying hot. The green beans were delicious and the sticky toffee pudding came with lashings of sauce.

We rang ahead to book a table for 5. We arrived on time. Not unreasonably we expected the table to be prepared and ready, not least because the restaurant had suggested the time. It wasn't. So we were parked in the bar and asked if "we want some drinks whilst we wait". The only member of staff who appeared to be serving then took one person's order and then rushed off before any of us could add to it. She returned 5 minutes later with the drink and started to take our next order. She turned to leave. I called after her, helpfully suggesting she take all of our orders in one go rather than one at a time. I haven't worked in a bar before, but have been in enough of them to know this is the normal procedure. Maybe they were pioneering some radical new technique, designed to transform the hospitality industry. She replied "no, I'm really busy right now". We were eventually seated over half an hour later. The food finally arrived a full hour after our original booking, which wasn't acceptable in any sense, but particularly as we had three hungry children with us. Some of the vegetables were cold and we only had a thimble of gravy per plate. We asked for some extra gravy, to heat up the food. A regretable decision. It was so spicy it blew our heads iff. My son said he'd tasted milder vindaloos. The food was otherwise okay. Desserts have to be an improvement we thought, so giving the restaurant the benefit of the doubt we asked to see the menu. The sticky toffee pudding is highly recommended, the waitress suggested handing them over. Just as well as it was the only thing on the menu, alongside ice cream and a cheese board. Never again.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. 100%recommended 😁

Delicious food and good choice for the menu. Nice back garden. Very polite staff

Had a great meal here! We had been told there would be a large Christmas party so we arrived before then. We had good service and FANTASTIC food. We had the salt and pepper shrimp and squid, lamb stew, and poached salmon. All was hot and yummy. Due to the party, we sat in the bar area which was fine. Had a very good experience!!

Wonderful dinning experience. The food is truly exquisite, the venue is warm and homely and Nicole is wonderful. We had a variety of amazing dishes, and the deserts... hm... Highly, highly recommended.

Stuck up, looked us up and down as if deciding wether to let us in or not. Not a cosy mood far from it. Not a casual menu. If you own a McLaren you should be fine.

Service is a little slow but the food is very good. Sunday roast beef was excellent.

Fantastic for Sunday lunch or an early evening drink in the sunshine

Had a meal at The Paddock with friends this evening and enjoyed a lovely meal. Friendly guy served us and brought drinks and food out to the garden when we decided to sit outside, including a jug of water and glasses. Delicious lasagne, butterscotch banana crumble, all home-made and nicely presented. Reasonable prices too. Vast improvement from my first visit last year when we felt very unwelcome. Happy to recommend now and hope to visit again!

Firstly a big thanks to Nicole, Yann and all the staff at ‘The Paddock’ for providing such lovely food this evening. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves especially my father who is a bit of a food guru and experienced in fine dining was also very impressed by the diverse menu and quality. Will be looking forward to going back very soon! Stef

I had my niece stay for the weekend and asked her what one of her favourite meals were. She replied with a roast so as I couldn’t get into other near by pubs, I remember that someone had said the food at the Paddock is superb. Well, I had the pork belly roast which was absolutely delicious. My niece had the chicken which was equally delicious. I cannot wait to go back for another roast, it was fantastic and the owners were very warning and welcoming.

Soooooo this place is definitely worth a regular visit. It has recently been taken over and has the best gastro pub food in Sarratt / chipperfield / Chorleywood. Staff very attentive. Great place for adults whilst they have a great children’s area which kept my two boys occupied outside xxx

Had a lovely meal here, the menu is great with some delicious, unusual options as well as some classics. The steak and ribs were fantastic and we had attentive, friendly service.. they even went out of their way to cook some gluten free onion rings for me as I am coeliac. They were delicious

Have visited a few times..... Food homemade just love the cod and chips...tartar sauce delicious... Would certainly recommend a visit great food and service....

Two of us came in just after 9pm on a Friday after playing golf. This was our first visit. I had the sausages, chunky chips and salad. The sausages were really think, succulant and tasty as were the wedge chips and salad.

Food was absolutely abysmal. Probably the worst food I've had in years. Only gave one star so I could post review. What. Ever you've changed I suggest you go back to how it used to be when we've eaten here previously.

Not visited for a while, but wow better than ever! Food homemade and fantastic. Food has always been great but now at a whole new level. Service great, always was but atmosphere now amazing . Restaurant busy tables turning 2 and 3 times. Loved this place

We visited about a month ago for just a simple sandwich lunch .. it was amazing, the bread in our sandwiches was top quality, the salad was bursting with freshness, colour and flavour and the chips were totally top notch! 5* rate all the way, until yesterday :( as we liked the first visit so much, a rare day off work and lovely weather prompted us to go back. Sadly the bread was just a frozen Brakes brown loaf, crusts stale ( as brakes bread often can be) The salad was spinach leaves and something else leafy with 1 half of cherry tomato on my plate and a couple of green pepper slices .. whole thing totally drenched in oil with so many black olives that any schoolboy would have loved to put in a spud gun. The "waitress" .. I know its not table service or anything fancy but as we thanked her for bringing our napkins and cutlery, she did not speak 1 single word, just dumped the stuff on the table .. When the food arrived we had to go in search for salt and pepper and also wanted mayo, she was obliging there.. I stood and waited while she first brought the salt/pepper and then went off in search for the mayo. She returned with a capful .. "you want more?" she asks .. of course we want more, so again I wait, all the time thinking my sandwich and 100% delicious chips are getting cold. £9 for that .. was just a chicken sandwich but it was destroyed by poor service and poor ingredients. How can 2 visits be so different ? Where is the consistency and basic manners of the staff?

Lovely setting, great ambience, really delicious food, reasonably priced and excellent service. Well worth a visit.

Lovely setting and great service. Food was very tasty and good portions. Would definitely go again

Peanut butter toffee banana crumble!! To die for! And Thai curry exceptional. Be still my beating heart ❤️

Lovely staff great pub garden :) allows dogs great selection of drinks

We had a wonderful meal served by the manager who is enthusiastic about the place. The atmosphere was warm, food great and serving sizes good. Parking is no problem and prices are very reasonable. I would certainly recommend this pub.

The Paddock is a very nice pub with nice food and nice staff, it also has a very nice garden with a park behind. Quite small so make sure you book.

Impromptu meal in a lovely pub with great atmosphere. The food was of a very high standard. Will definitely visit again

The chef really knows his/her stuff, the food was delicious we could not find fault with our Meal, I had soup of the day which was superb followed by venison Pie which was just great.

I have never been spoken to so rudely in my life. We booked a table for 18.00 on a Sunday and we phoned ahead as I know some places are funny with serving food on Sunday evenings. However, the booking was accepted so I assumed all was well. Unfortunately we had to move the booking back to 19.00 but again we phoned ahead and the venue agreed to the change of time. From the moment we arrived we were treated with utter contempt. We were constantly told to hurry up, told that kitchen staff had been kept late 'just for us' and generally made to feel like an inconvenience. When we even dared to mention seeing the desert menu we were rudely told no. We were not attended at any point during the night. If we needed anything we literally had to get up and find her. There were no other customers and she plainly thought we couldn't see her trying to hide from us. The ever so charming manager (I presume she was the manager, although she lacked all the most basic skills, qualities and general professionalism I would associate with a manager) made it seem like she was doing us the biggest favour of her life by even serving us. If you do not wish to serve food to customers on a Sunday night then use some common sense and DON'T ACCEPT A RESTAURANT BOOKING. One hour should make no difference. I have never met such a foul mannered server with the audacity to speak back to customers so rudely. I could not recommend avoiding this establishment strongly enough.

Me and family stopped here whilst driving home from a day out in Windsor. It was a lovely day so we sat in the outdoor picnic area (which could probably do with some TLC.) We all ordered food and drinks. The menu was ok for choice. However, service was incredibly slow. We were told someone was going to come out to take our order and after waiting around 20 mins or so it was clear nobody was going to come out. We then waited almost an hour for our food, however when the food came it was beautiful. 5/5 for food! However, the slow service and expensive menu was a let down.

We celebrated a 91st Birthday last night. There were 7 of us. We all agreed the food was lovely - but the service was poor. Our table was booked for 7 but we did not eat until 9pm ! The restaurant isn’t very big but the wait for food and in between courses was way too long. Too late to eat our main meal. The food was well made and very tasty but the overall level of service has put me off returning.

Live fairly locally, but had never heard of this place until we discovered it by accident, so thought we'd give it a try. Ordered a couple of burgers, which we specifically asked for with no bacon. We were advised of a 45 minute wait, which was not a problem for us. Burgers turned up in 30 minutes, but with bacon. Not a major problem for me, but my wife doesn't eat pork, so returned hers. To be fair the waitress serving was apologetic. We also explained that having done an add up of what we'd been charged for food and drink, we'd been overcharged by £3. Not a massive deal, but that's beside the point. The waitress said she'd investigate. Anyway, the burgers were absolutely fine. The waitress returned to collected our plates, and, without wishing to appear pushy, reminded her of the overcharging issue. Again, she said she'd investigate. 45 minutes later, no sign of her, so I went to get one last drink, and explained the situation to what I assume was the manageress/landlady. I wouldn't say she was outright rude, but she had a rather unorthodox approach to customer relations, explaining that it was a service charge in a somewhat curt and abrupt manner and that it was clearly stated on the menu. Not everybody reads the small print on menus, so if it was clearly stated, it was clearly stated in very small print. A shame, because it's in a nice location, and the food we had was good. However the drinks are expensive, and the landlady's attitude means it's highly unlikely we'll be returning.

Top quality. Excellent. They've come a long way. Well done guys

Visited this pub on the off chance, have to say what a great find. Food was all home cooked and delicious. Service was brilliant. We will definitely be coming back again.

Great food by a cosy log fire and excellent wine at reasonable prices. Whats not to like?

The food here speaks for itself - it is simply exceptional. My favourite place to eat I am delighted every single time I visit. I especially recommend the Roast dinner.

Had the most fabulous food I have had for a long time . Chestnut and truffle soup , butternut squash and wild mushroom rissotto.

We are local and met other local friends there. We had booked. We waited one hour twenty minutes for our food in total. One girl only seemed to be serving . We asked a couple of times for our food to be chased up. Eventually the managreress came full of apology but it was due to a computer problem!. If I understood her correctly the paper with our order on it got stuck in the till. Even after being told it would be ten minutes coming it was actually twenty. We would have walked but being a Sunday we were not sure of picking up anything elsewhere very quickly. I admit we were offered free deserts but frankly we all needed to get home by this time so we did not have to pay for the food. However this was really a very bad experience and we will not be going there again or recommending, sorry.

Very busy here today but well with waiting for the turkey roast was the best The Paddock is worth visiting

Food was spot on ,!!! The place was clean and nicely laid out. Toilets were clean. 14 of use went and for a small kitchen it all came out in good time was piping hot and delicious . The lovely lady who served us was great fun and made our visit . Will definitely be going back. Well done to all at the paddocks in Chipperfield I score you excellent. ✅

We popped in The Paddock with a group of friends, and hit by the lovely pub atmosphere. Unfortunately only one person serving, who was lovely, but rushed off her feet, so a bit slow.

Excellent food ,all home cooked locally sourced and the chef is really imaginative. A great little find . Far better than most of the other pubs in the area and very reasonably priced.

Great service, friendly owner, great atmosphere. We were just stopping for a pint but stayed for a meal.

Lovely food and welcoming staff and atmosphere.

Nice place, good service, plenty of parking

Wonderful food and great service ...

Really tasty food and good service. Would recommend the fish pie - it was delicious ! Definitely worth a visit .

Popped into this pretty pub on a sunny Saturday afternoon for lunch with my daughter and really glad we did! Sat on a table outside the front looking at the beautiful flower beds (10 out of 10 for that effort) and enjoyed a lovely cold bottle of Pinot Grigio. Food arrived very swiftly and was delicious. Best burger my daughter had ever had she said (and she’s had plenty!) and my fish + chips was superb. Bravo !

Lovely restaurant and bar. Excellent for Sunday lunch. Friendly. Would go back.

The most delicious recipes and food ever. Great service and helpful staff. Peaceful surroundings and beautiful gardens.

Meeting with friends for a convivial lunch, The Paddock is easy to book in advance, although you could just turn up as we had no trouble finding a table at this pub which used to be called The Boot. They have ample parking out back and a child friendly garden area with seating, so you can eat and drink there as well as inside. The service is ok and the food was ok, with longer than waits in between courses, not ideal if you are in a hurry. A good looking pub from the outside well presented and great to go to on a sunny day, but maybe not my ideal for a sit down meal.

Poor service, poor quality of food. Limited food left on the menu. Overall awful evening. We will not be returning.

Lovely Foodies & Lovely An Old Traditional Britz Pub#Like The Foods # Never know this Countryside Pub around Out Skirt of M25 still having this sort of Menu on the list & also they’re still serving foods as we arrived a bit late that I think the kitchen might be closeThanks to the Chefs to service us

Well - what can I say. I have just visited for the first time and now wonder why it’s taken me so long. This is a gem of a place and the true definition of a gastro pub. Outstanding food and attentive funny, quirky service. Can’t wait to go back - best food for miles x

Lovely pub. The food is always fresh, tasty and comes quickly and they do, do child portions. The garden is being renovated and am sure it will be lovely once completed. Very friendly staff. Recommend a visit.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food very good

Much better quality food than anywhere around, a party of 9 of us had a great al fresco dining experience in the newly landscaped garden. I'd rather pay a little extra for quality rather than suffer the poor food and service in the nearby Two Brewers. Try it!

I have previously written an outstanding review for The Paddock. Unfortunately this review isn't.

Visited The Paddock, July 15 for lunch. We were warmly greeted by the owner , the food was superb and well presented and we received exemplary service from our waitress Aoife. We will definitely visit again !
