We came for Sunday lunch. Lovely greeting, nice table, food was lovely (I had the pie and it was delish!) overall we had a lovely experience as family and will be returning!

Amazing service - had my dads 40th here and the staff went over and above - poppy was amazing really helpful!

Absolutely great service from such a lovely waitress called Alice. Food was delicious, will definitely be back

Friendly staff, great abbot, great location

Lovely lunch with friends and the staff were so friendly and helpful

Staff fantastic, great location, food and drink spot on. Highly recommend

We had a great meal here! Food was delicious, service was great. I would recommend the chicken snitzel and the fish and chips, delicious! We will 100% visit again!!

Excellent staff great food! Great pub!

What a disappointing experience it was to lunch at Three Moorhens. From the lukewarm greeting at the door, to the hour long wait for our meals, it’s clear to see that front of house staff lacks basic hospitality training. As we didn’t book in advance, we felt our presence was more of an inconvenience to staff who barely acknowledged us. Kitchen management seems non existent as our food order which we made online, took nearly an hour to arrive. After making an inquiry at the bar, It was obvious that they hadn’t started making it. Food was then rushed out to our table. We received a feeble apology, but no silverware, no condiments and no check back. It was even more annoying to see other tables receiving table service, but none was given to us. Very poor customer service all round.

Wonderful! Excellent food and great staff

Absolutely terrible. We opened a tab as it was our girly meet up and we were all turning up at different times. Firstly we received the nachos and it looked like the cheese sauce was lumpy, wanted a cuppa tea but they had no alternative milk so had to have green tea. Another friend turned up we decide to order lunch the queue at the bar was long so we booked it on line. The food took over an hour to get to us, in that time no one came to check on us, we had to go up and show the receipt and ask where the food was, and when the food did arrive it looke like it was half eaten.....especially when the guy next us his plate was full. I feel really disappointed that the service and food on this occasion, you can do so much better than this. You really need to sort out management who can run the place properly. It was disturbing and disgusting service.

Long wait to be seated after booking ahead.Once seated still waited an hour ,wouldn't go back no point in booking.

Great fish and chips, really nice place. Staff great too

Bar staff are amazing poppy has done great for what she is doing she number one of the building ….the food is absolutely fantastic definitely my number one place to enjoy a great evening fantastic pub

Great pint of san Miguel served by Rob and Poppy

We have been here a few times so far and the food was always good and staff very nice. The place is dog friendly and the floors under the tables are very clean what is great for our dog allergic to gluten. We will come again.

Good food, good service, reasonable price

Staff are friendly and respectful. Quality is topped by it all. Recommend to everyone

Great mela for 88th Birthday. Thank you

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and was seated right away without reservation. Our server, Jack was very polite and attentive. Food was nice and served quickly.

Nice food at reasonable price. Service was excellent and atmosphere was warm and friendly.

3 adults,2 children. A very cold day so lovely to enter a warm building! Also a warm greeting from Poppy,who was so helpful and lovely throughout our stay.Good menu choice.Saw a dog in pub area so nice for dogs!

Been here a few times and decided to book a table online and came here for Valentine’s Day with my partner. Service was excellent from Rob and food was excellent from Martin! Great atmosphere and very accommodating to allergy needs.

I had a wonderful time here with my friend, and our server was fantastic—I'm pretty sure his name was Jack. He was such an upbeat and friendly guy, providing excellent service. The venue was a bit outdated, but Jack definitely brought some great energy to the place!

Poppy was amazing! So friendly and kind serves with a smile! I am a regular here now because of this definitley the best most chilled pub around.! Thanks again Poppy you star!!!! 10/10

Great Pub, Lovely atmosphere and brilliant hot food!!!

We had a great experience from start to finish. Our incredible server Jack was bubbly, attentive and really made our meal special. Thank you everyone and especially Jack. Would highly recommend !!

Great gluten free menu. Friendly staff. Altogether a lovely meal.

Great food, great experience dining here. Would recommend to anyone.

My partner and I are returning customers, we went yesterday, and each time we go is just as great as the last. Amazing food, good drinks, and beautiful hospitality. The vibe all round is so upbeat yet calming, 10/10 would highly recommend. 😌

We came here yesterday for a nice dinner out and it exceeded our expectations. The staff was outstanding, they were very polite and friendly. They also had lots of varieties for food and drinks, and needless to say the food was delicious. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Unfortunately not many positive points to note! Extremely loud so could hardly have a conversation on our table (appreciate this isn’t the staffs fault). It took three attempts to get a main course after being repeatedly told things weren’t available! Toilets without toilet roll or hand wash. Very average food, a tough burger and cold chips. Definitely will not be returning.

Great pub! Great food, lovely variety of food! And great specials! Special mention to Kayleigh for going above and beyond!

Excellent service from Kayleigh and great food! Lovely pub, and great staff!

Had a wonderful lunch, the lamb shank was cooked to perfection, and everyone enjoyed there meals, special mention to our waitress Kayleigh for making everything so smooth for us! We can’t wait to return!

Great pub! Good atmosphere! Lovely food!

My server Isobel was amazing she was so kind and bubbly and she made sure I was looked after and my food was given to me fresh and efficient . Will deffo be returning because of her !

Nice place to have a drink and food, lovely and cosy.

Wonderful pub. Great food. One of the best hunters chickens in hitchin. Will 100% reccomend. Family friendly and clean too

Great selection for intolerances. Kind staff

We were a party of 20. The food was tasty and good value and the service was excellent. We had a very enjoyable lunch, Poppy, Kristin and Maddie did a sterling job.

Visited with family for a Sunday roast early evening. Was disappointed that there was no cauliflower cheese left. The beef was not good - over cooked and very tough with lots of gristle despite menu saying it was served pink. Asked for horseradish but was told they had run out but no offer of any other sauces. Stuffing was hard and chewy. On the plus side the gravy was nice and thick, the veggies were cooked well and husband said the turkey was good.

We had an excellent lunch. The food was high quality and well presented. The service was superb despite the large number of customers

We had a really lovely Christmas meal. We were looked after by Poppy and Isobel and the were brilliant. Thank you The Moorhens.

Had a lovely Christmas lunch with friends Food was lovely and the service was very good. Poppy and Isobel were so lovely and very attentive and friendly. Thank you . Will be back next year for our Christmas lunch

On Friday 8th December we booked for 7.00pm unfortunately we didn't eat our mains until nearly 9.00pm If the staff had told us they were short staffed in the beginning we would have understood it. But nothing was said so we had to keep asking when our mains and puddings were coming? It was nearly 10.00pm until we had finished.

Food was served just warm ,need to keep food hot and check when serving.

Kristin gave me and my friends great service, very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming again 😃

What a nice pub !! Highly recommend! Kristin especially was very welcoming and gave a great service!

Exceptional experience, lovely staff with Incredible Food.

Brilliant pub with lovely garden, the kids menus is great and the boys love it, we will never get tired of the Moorhens!! :)

Amazing service lovely food grate for value

Such a good vibe, very friendly and great service from all staff. Really enjoyed the food, had no complaints, would come again:)

Food was amazing, service amazing too. Poppy was outstanding! So lovely and so attentive. She is the best!

Great service from the team really helpful with a large group Kim, poppy and Maddie really made the booking easy and ensured all the guests were happy with the food and service

Visited with family for lunch, delicious food. Service was great, very attentive staff! Pub was decorated with lots of Christmas decs which made the place feel very warm and welcoming. Couldn’t fault our visit, Thankyou!

Nice food staff were attentive prices were reasonable. Would reccomend

Lived locally for over 2 years and never tried this place. Really lovely atmosphere, good size pub and fantastic food. Very delicious. Will 100% be back and highly recommend it

Amazing experience here for lunch, great food, great atmosphere and perfect service Thank you

Very well enjoyed meal with excellent service from Kayleigh, the lamb shank was delightful.

Sadly we were not able to eat our meals. Colld and undercooked. However, the staff were amazing

Kristen was very friendly - good service.

Great place used as one of our regular work do's place.

Great food. Excellent, friendly service.

Love it here! Definitely recommend

Excellent roast dinners, the lamb shank was beautiful! Just completely fell of the bone! Nothing was too much trouble for Kayleigh, she really made it special for us, highly recommend

Turned up for a Sunday roast, told sorry no roast potatoes as they had run out of potatoes at 2:30pm. Decided to try the fish and chips. Bad move unless you like your fish batter soggy and cold and what seemed liked a young child’s portion of chips. I could have knocked up the same food and made it better from the Asda 300 meters away for about £4. Overall a very poor experience and won’t be revisiting.

Great pub ... Good beer .. Abbot is a big seller..gets full quick ..big car park .. food is higher quality than 'pub grub' .. sitting outside in summer is ok if you like grease smells from the extract fan - depends on where you sit. Haven't spent an evening there so not sure on the atmosphere.

Booked a table for 4 of us to celebrate our wedding anniversary this evening and it was dreadful. They had no steak, no mashed potatoes and half the puddings were missing. Ended up having a burger which was burnt on the outside, under done on the inside and had bacon and cheese which I didn’t order. Then we basically got ignored. No one came to ask if we wanted a dessert so we had to go to the bar and ask for the bill. Very disappointing evening.

Cracking place. Wonderful staff and food

Came here last Saturday evening with a friend. We weren't overly hungry and in a bit of a rush as attending an event in hitchin. Having looked through the menu I fancied the camembert sharer as a main course and decided would have a dessert after. My friend decided it sounded good too. We were pleased with our choice. Freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Toasted garlic ciabatta with crispy chicken strips, salami and two dips, served with a lovely melting mini camembert. We chose cheesecake and chocolate fondant for dessert equally delicious. Our waitress sorry can't remember her name, was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back . Many thanks

Nice waitress and food above average. Kids menu is great and overall very reasonable price wise.

Very pleasant lunch and extremely polite a d patient staff. Thank you Poppy

Jack gave excellent service. Good value for money. We didn't book just saw it as we drove passed. Fitted us in after a few minutes.

Booked for Sunday Roast, it was delicious couldn’t fault it, service was great too, please pass on our thanks. We definitely will be returning

Good value for money. Service was very efficient. Jack was very good. We didn't book but didn't have long to wa

Three Moorhens Hitchin Hill by the roundabout . Large car park . Building as you enter could do with some tlc. A warm welcome when we entered. Very quiet when we visited so was nice to receive table service . Drinks came prompt and only a short wait for the mains. Pie & mash with veg and a chicken dish were well presented on hot plates. All was good , not 5 star but ok for a pub chain meal. Staff very nice , would call in again.

Decent sunday roast. Popped in late in the day, so a little dry but gravy sorted that!

Varied menu with some dishes we had not tried. Friendly and welcoming staff and background music pretty quiet, so you can actually hold a conversation without having to speak loudly. Good drinks menu. Fairly competitive prices. Overall, well worth a visit

Came in to try the new menu with my Mum, we were so pleased to see some old classics on there still but the new stuff is absolutely delicious!! I had the katsu chicken and mum had 2 courses off the light bites menu and said the scampi was cooked perfectly, the option for a smaller meal is highly appreciated :) we will definitely be returning to try the rest of the new stuff

Personally I need a lot of work done to the building .

Far the best food I’ve had for a while. our waitress Kayleigh was helpful and attentive with excellent drink knowledge. We can’t wait to return! Thankyou!

Great food and atmosphere! Staff very friendly. Big shoutout to Rob

Atmosphere was very good and the food was top notch. Service was excellent from all members of staff. Would come back again!

Brilliant pub with excellent staff.. food is really good here, have never had a bad experience, much better than the next nearest pub, orange tree. Steaks are always cooked right.. sarah, isobel, lewis and kayleigh are great at their job and make sure you have everything you need, large garden and plenty of parking.. perfect pub.. Obed is a an absolute ledgend...

First time I've visited with my family and thought the food and service was excellent. No issues whatsoever and the food was very nice. Would defo come back.

Can't complain about the food . It was good value for money. Beer was well kept and went down rather too well!! We last went to the 3 moorhens about 20 years ago. Unfortunately, it looks like it hasn't been painted since !! The restaurant area wasn't bad but the bar area was noisy . Staff were OK and friendly. I'm not sure we will return for a while because there are other pub restaurants nearby to try, but as I say, the food was good if you fancy basic pub grub.

Nice looking large pub from outside. You would expect from the lovely building and lovely big garden the usual Greene King Quality however the decor was clearly in need of refurbishment. Food was good overall especially the steak. However the salad accompanying various meals and starters looked fairly wilted and as if it had been out of the fridge for some time or possibly not as fresh as it should have been. Very good quality cask ale and drinks including Abbott Ale and GK IPA very nicely pulled and kept. Womens toilets according to my wife were rather unkept with blockages and not the levels of cleaning or upkeep you would expect from a big pub company. Bar area was busy but rather cramped as various big tables had been placed in front of the bar for a group of rowdy guys to watch the football from meaning you could only get to the bar easily from either end. We sat in the restaurant but there was very little customer service or welcome from staff. 3 male staff members were hanging around the bar for the most part watching the football and chatting with football loving locals instead. We ordered from the bar in the end as there was no restaurant service to speak of. Food was reasonably well cooked and served promptly and other than that service mediocre. Overall a potentially lovely pub but for a Saturday evening fairly quiet and obviously being let down overtime by what seems very relaxed and I bothered staff. Certainly not crying out for a further visit unless a recent manager is appointed who cracks the whip with the young 20 something staff members. Definitely missing a female touch !

Amazing staff kim was fantastic nothing was to much trouble food was fantastic we will definitely be coming back

Poppy was our server tonight she did an amazing job with our group from start to finish quick to make sure we got what we ordered and the drinks were full. The food was amazing and helped guide us through with food allergies and made excellent recommendations based on the allergies. All our food was amazing and we left full, happy and well served.

Very young and inexperienced waiter's

We had an excellent meal at this lovely restaurant. The service was friendly and we were able to relax and not feel rushed

Both myself and my partner had a lovely time here! Special mention to Jess for creating a delicious orchard spritz and for making our time here a blast 10/10!

It was beautiful, service with a smile and a great positive attitude! 10/10 would go again

Had a fantastic meal, with outstanding service. I would definitely recommend, will be going again.

Went to Three Moorhens in Hitchin tonight Was served by a lovely polite and attentive waiter we were the only ones in a section of the restaurant but he made sure we were ok Food was lovely will definitely be going back thoroughly recomend 😀😀 Food 5 star service 5 star only gave 3 for atmosphere as monday might and basically empty

Cheap and cheerful is the order of the day here. Think hungry horse 🐎 and your about there.

So so bad - would not recommend to anyone - starter without some of the ingredients - main ( when it came ) badly cooked and the staff never bothered to take a desert order - have filled in the survey 3 times and never had a reply .
