The Three Moorhens in North Hertfordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very young and inexperienced waiter's

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

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 .

Great service, very friendly, greeted and seated and ordered with a smile and humour. Food quick, enjoyed the burger. Although chicken in basket was quite dry and the chips tasted odd, we will likely come back and try other items as the service and location is so lovely.

We didn't eat ..but pub was lovely and staff were friendly 😀

Excellent service from Kayleigh and great food! Lovely pub!

Excellent staff great food! Great pub

Wonderful! Excellent food and great staff

Very well enjoyed meal with excellent service from Kayleigh and oli!

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!

Excellent food, great service from Kayleigh!

Staff helpful and friendly. Always happy to suggest new ideas with food and drinks.

Great pub, friendly staff with a lovely atmosphere for friends and family, come for a few drinks in the evening and was really enjoyable

Great Atmosphere, came up with the lads after work and enjoyed a few games of darts. Staff are polite and accommodating. Great pub

Food was spot on and served in good time

Dirty glasses and no soap in the toilets! Food was nice though and I imagine usually a good pub

Most of us had the turkey dinner. The potatoes were overly salted . My daughter had the chicken caeser salad and found that the lettuce hadn't been washed properly.

Quiet pub. Ordered burger that came out raw. Didn’t notice until I’d eaten half first. Sent back and another came which was nice. Slow service

Lovely Sunday Roast , staff quick , efficient and happy

Great evening for a large group. All meals came out together, well cooked, and all requests catered for

Called in here for lunch with an old friend. Very friendly staff, good selection of drinks and food at reasonable prices. As it was one of the sunny days in June we sat outside in the garden. Speedy service even though it was busy. Friendly customers as well which I always like. I'd definitely come back again.

Yummy Sunday lunch. Polite staff.

Lovely pub, great staff, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Food is good classic pub food with a couple of different dishes.

Yummy meal polite staff very quiet.

Food was very good and the service was very good ample parking nice place to dine out.

It is my sons 30th birthday so myself , my son and three daughters went for lunch. We were served by Izzi and Poppy. The service was excellent, they were friendly very polite and happy. Nothing was to much trouble. The food was excellent and very well presented. Would highly recommend.

Great service from Poppy, food was served quickly and was very well- prepared. Although busy, nothing was too much trouble for Poppy

Came here with family and friends and service was excellent staff were very helpful food arrived promptly and hot and tasty will definitely be returning.

Amazing service lovely food grate for value

A grotty unkempt pub with clientele intent on including as many swear words as possible in their overly loud coversations. In terms of the restaurant, average food is served by slovenly staff. Awful!

This is an ok place to go. It's your good run of the mill pub food. We sat outside which was pleasant.

I visited my old work today and the food here is amazing I definitely recommend to others

Came in a week or so back, and have to say the environment was lovely, will be back again soon! Special thanks to Izzy for making us feel welcome!

Excellent food and fantastic service

The place is always warm and friendly, great food and it’s always well presented, the staff and the service is second to none especially Isobel who also makes sure that we’re more than happy before leaving. Van

Great food, very friendly & accommodating staff. Overall a lovely experience on our recent visit. Thank you!

Great pub!! Food fab and staff very friendly

Went for some birthday drinks in March and have been back for more this month. Didn’t eat on this occasion but I really must complement this pub on the quality of their drinks. The crispness of the beer is amongst the best, if not the best around. It really makes a difference, not having to return to the bar because of petty things, such as dirty glass or unclean pint. A problem so many other good places seem to fail at.

Good food good prices. Lovely wine. Great service.

We arrived mid afternoon, about 15:30ish. I was starving and thought why not try here, it's been some time. I walked in and the interior was pretty empty, asked for a table to eat, and was promptly shown to the back, tucked away. The surrounding area was pretty messy, food on the floor, on the tables, used napkins etc. As I said it was late afternoon, they could've been extremely busy and not had time to clear away. We looked at the menu and ordered drinks. The girl returned and said that my wife's choice of drink was not available and went away to fetch her second choice. On her return with the drinks, she then proceeded to pass us a list of food on the menu that was unavailable. In fact she would have been better passing a list of items that were available. Basically the pie, which neither of us wanted. The staff actually explained that the food delivery had not shown up that day, I'm just surprised that they hadn't told me right from the very outset that they had very limited food left. We finished our drinks and left. Overall, I can't put the blame on the staff for the shortage, but the overall cleanliness is down to the staff and management, and I can't say I was impressed. They may be understaffed, I don't know, it seems to be the way of things now that companies will strip back to the bare bones in the pursuit of profit. Next time we're in the area we'll probably try somewhere not too far down the road.

Had roast dinner not impressed 1 small piece of broccoli a desert spoon of peas 2 bits of parsnip meat good Yorkshire pudding good.. really let themselves down as usually the food is a lot better quality such a shame. Did have a reduced menu due to missed delivery so hopefully will be better next time.

Went for lunch and the food was very good and reasonably priced. There wasnt enough staff for how busy it was but the staff that were there were working hard and very polite and professional.

Don't know ? , couldn't get a table.

Went for dinner this evening with my mum and nan and had the sharing platter and the salmon fillet. Food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back. Probably the best meal we’ve ever had there and we have been a few times over the years. Only negative things were the heating wasn’t on so was a little cold sitting at our table and we didn’t realise we had to order at the bar at first. Gentleman at the bar and who served our food was very friendly and attentive.

Came for a meal with my family, despite being over worked and extremely busy, poppy and izzi were amazing, never lost their smiles and nothing seemed to be a problem! Couldn’t be more impressed with the service we received, food was delicious as well. Real well done, those girls are a valuable asset to the Moorhens :)

Worst service, dirty table, they have limited drinks and as a pub they do that have even a straw.

Food took along time to come. Not nearly enough staff !!! Had to keep asking when food was coming.

Great place to eat. Service was excellent

Lovely place for lunch with the family. Good value and great service. There are plenty of tables to sit at. We booked a table to be safe. Lots of free parking. I had the burger 🍔, came with chips, and the crispiest onion rings. Delicious.

We had pre-booked as it was Mothering Sunday, but then arrived half an hour early. This was no problem and we were seated straight away. Poppy served us and was very friendly and helpful. The macaroni cheese was nice with a really lovely salad, but the roast turkey seemed processed and a little disappointing. Overall we had a positive experience and would come back.

Characterful, accessible pub with lots of parking. Lovely lunch. Good value. Fantastic service from Poppy and Maddie.

Just wanted to say how extremely helpful, polite and hard working the bar staff were and on my visit with friends. Kim and Oliie were 5 stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Affordable nice food good service and good atmosphere

Went with family and was greeted by a lovely lady called Kim, and nothing was too much for her ,great service will be back again soon

Three of us eat here lunch time today, we were all impressed. Service was good. Food delicious, very good value. Will deffinatly visit again

Had a beautiful lunch experience, we ordered of the specials menu which was cooked exceptionally! The service from Kayleigh was wonderful!

Excellent service from Kayleigh!

Great experience for Sunday lunch and looked after by kayleigh, and lovely food!

Great spot for food and kid friendly, lovely service from our waitress Kayleigh, the kids really enjoyed their time and we will be back again!

Came in for Sunday lunch, lovely food and wonderful service from kayleigh, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience, can't wait to return!

My partner and I enjoyed the roast very much. The waiter was friendly and polite. Good atmosphere, warm location.

Visited for a family birthday, 6 adults. Very nicely decorated & furnished, nice warm atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Food menu is great, good choices. Most of us had rump steak, one had sweet potato risotto, one had salmon. Every meal was fantastic, very tasty & good portions, priced well too. Pudding selection is fantastic too, great tasting puddings, again great prices. Would recommend & will visit again.

Food was delicious as always and the staff were friendly

Very very disappointed. Roast potatoes were frozen potatoes which were rock hard. Yorkshire pudding was hard and black. Beef was very fatty and the veg had seen better days.

Myself and my family came in for a meal this afternoon the Food was delicious as always! We can’t wait for our next visit!!

Food is basic and a little over priced for what it is. Service wasn't great! One team member let it down for all! Took 45 minutes for desserts to arrive only for mine to be burnt. When we first asked where they were (30 mins late) the staff member decided to lecture us on how busy they were and never even checked with the kitchen. 2nd member of staff was much better and checked with the kitchen (we are fairly sure they forgot to send the order to the kitchen in the first place). Ended up not paying for the desserts but overall the experience ruined the meal.

Sarah was a lovely host and nothing was too much trouble for her to deal with. Very friendly and full of life.

Arrived for a pre booked table, we were early and were also seated early so far so good! Waitress was excellent especially with the toddler in our party, we didn’t catch her name but thank you! She did mention that there could be a delay for food because they were busy, thanks for the heads up, no problem for us to relax and wait a bit, the food arrived and wasn’t what I’d ordered, food came back with not entirely what i had ordered but close enough! All 4 adult orders were stone cold and I don’t mean warm but stone cold…. Pretty basic stuff but there you go, the waitress informed us that they have no more beef, we decided to move to another restaurant, no apologies in fact my wife was so disappointed in the lack of concern/apology that she approached a manager who was chatting to a staff member who was having her lunch, he appeared confused/unconcerned and said “oh” We’ll take our business elsewhere

Meet with the family on Sunday here, the food was lovely, quite busy, all the staff were fantastic, my children were looked with activities and crayons. Great parking too, a nice place.

Friendly service and tasty food - bery friendly towards our dog who was made to feel welcome. Poppy was very patient and provided good advice on what to order - helped make the evening a success. Thank you.

Decor, location, service and food were all as good or better than we expected. Party of 4 and we each had different dishes and we were all impressed. But then the 'music' (sic) started. Loud, off key and badly sung. Couldn't wait to pay up and get out. Pity.

Prompt service even though the place was very busy and the food was good.

We met some friends for dinner in late October and had such a wonderful time, that we ended up being there for 5-6 hours. My husband and I had the crispy Asian style pork belly, which was absolutely divine. I believe it was new to the menu, but wow, what an addition. Really tasty and highly recommended. The staff were very professional yet very friendly, and we never felt like we had to leave. A wonderful pub, with amazing food and lovely staff.

Lovely food and plenty of choice. Friendly staff. Had a great evening

A lovely pub, great parking and wonderful staff

Great service by Poppy. Really attentive and friendly. Good quality food aswel and really nice drinks.

Good food and quick service. Thank you to Poppy, she was a delight to have serve us for the evening. Would highly recommend visiting.

A superior member of the Greene King chain with attentive and knowledgeable staff (especially Maddie), this 'pub' is well worth a visit. Decent options on the menu at reasonable prices backed up by a good drinks list. Great portions and tasty food.

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.

My Wife and I have enjoyed the Sunday Roast at the Three Moorhens, sadly, this was a great disappointment. We arrived a little early and was shown to our table. When the food came, it wasn’t very warm and when our table was cleared, that was when we were asked if everything was ok. I told our Server about the meals and he apologised and said he would let “them” know in the Kitchen. When paying our bill, he remarked that had we have said something he could have changed our meals. Yes, he could have done, had he come and asked us how everything was, but he didn’t. This person has served us previously and seemed enthusiastic and very helpful. Not this time. I think it will be a while until we visit the Moorhens again!

Thank you to Poppy for being very kind and patient whilst dealing with our very chaotic family table :) I appreciate we had a lot of variations and additions etc, Poppy was gracious, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The whole family enjoyed their meals and we had a lovely time. Thank you.

Some of the best service we have ever had at a pub. Was wonderful to see, and how hard she worked, a credit for the business.

Had a lovely evening, catching up with old colleagues, over a festive dinner at The Three Moorhens. Food was good - I enjoyed my turkey but those who had the beef said it was melt-in-the- mouth delicious. We were well looked after by Sarah, whose service was attentive but not hover-y! I also dealt with Sarah before the evening as we were a large party: she was very helpful and accommodating.

Booked the Festive menu for a party of 8 last Sunday 3rd December. Food was excellent and washed down with several bottles of very reasonably priced Malbec. Service and atmosphere matched the food and a lovely evening was had by all. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Visited here for a family event. The staff were excellent especially Sarah,who went above and beyond. Recommend this pub highly..

Recently had a meal here for a birthday. Service was great, avoid the ultimate burger (it's not), described as coming with onion rings, (it does,2, plural I guess). skimpy on food portions but overkill on the salt on the herb fries. Disappointed and wouldn't recommend at all.

We had a 2-course meal from the festive menu - roast turkey with all the trimmings - and it turned out we were the first customers to have been served the special dishes for this season. We were so touched by the effort made by our lovely server Poppy and all the staff to ensure our experience was holiday-worthy - down to the Christmas card and crackers to greet us! Despite ours being the first full holiday meals served the kitchen staff delivered our dishes expertly and promptly (no overcooked dry meat for us, which can so often happen with roast turkey in restaurants) complete with all the trimmings, extra gravy and cranberry sauce. Thanks again to Poppy for going the extra mile in looking after us and best wishes to you and all the staff for a happy Christmas season!

Like to thank Poppy and Izzi for looking after us during my mother and I lunch visit. My elderly mother doesn’t feel comfortable going out but is happy to go to the moorhens. The girls are lovely and always look out for mum and always...

What amazing, friendly staff you have in the three moorhens, nothing was too much trouble, especially maddie and poppy who looked after us brilliantly, credit where credit due, Greene king need to appreciate how hard these girls work, and always with smiles on their faces.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Very good service from the staff especially Poppy + 1221 Highly recommended

Very nice lunch, served by Sarah and Isobel. Very friendly, good food, a bit more expensive than previous visits but worth it all the same.

Fantastic experience may i add that staff member izzi was amazing and very professional OUTSTANDING ***** Highly recommended

Myself and 5 of my mates decided to go out to eat and drink and we choose this place, the food was very nice and better than we thought it would of been, and also the service we got from everyone who was working there...

We booked the Three Moorhens for my Dads wake, we had 35 people attend and we had the choice of a good menu plus they catered for those with Coeliac disease. Poppy and Rob took good care of us and laid on a lovely selection...
