Came here for the great Aunts wake. Fantastic service, friendly staff. The chef had broken his leg/ankle and was off work for 6 weeks so the landlady was working in the kitchen as well as looking after us, with the staff all doing their vlvillbit to help cover too. Shows how much the team care, really well done!

Racist Blond Waitress - Worst service in Hertfordshire I should have reported that blond old waitress to the police last Saturday who humiliated me and my friends in front of everyone in the pub. She saw us getting out of the car in the car park and entering the pub. Straight away she started yelling at us (without us even saying a word to each other), she pointed her finger at us screaming like an animal, saying "You're not gonna be served here! You are definitely not being served here I saw you outside" I think she must have been drunk or lost her tablets as we haven't done anything at all. Parked our car and calmly walked inside. We were planning to have dinner and have a couple of drinks, and return home with an Uber. I don't know what made her think we were unreasonable and unsafe to be served. Ohh we were the only foreigners.... Funny enough my partner was in the pub 2 weeks ago with his English mate and they were being served with no problems..The attitude that this old and ugly person (not human) presented is unacceptable, clearly demonstrated anti social behaviour!!!! Shame on you and the way you are working disgusting woman. Never mind, Paper Mills didn't mind taking our money and being friendly and welcome!

Popped in for the first time. Mum had a glass of wine but when she tried it it was undrinkable. It actually made her feel sick when sipping it. I appreciate it wasn’t an expensive wine by any means, but even at that level, she has never been known to leave virtually the whole glass untouched until now. When informing the lady behind the bar who served her, her response was you can pay for another option. Also told no other wine was available, after offering to pay more for it. Really let down with the service and wine option/quality. It’s a shame as we wanted to give this pub a positive chance given the good review record and it being a local of ours. No reason to return. Not sure at all why it’s ranked so highly, unless it’s the food (which we didn’t try).

Wasn’t sure what to expect when we arrived because on a Monday lunchtime it wasn’t very full and it all looked rather basic. There was a nice fireplace and chopped wood at one end of the bar and we were at the other end in a dining area that was a bit like a café. However, the staff were very nice and welcoming. The food was traditional pub food, but the scampi and chips were excellent and the steak and ale pie had plenty of good quality steak and a rich brown gravy. The vegetables were good as well, especially the peas which were soft and very tasty. extremely good value and we enjoyed our meal

Myself and my partner visited as we were staying local for Harry Potter Studios. We called the previous day to ask if they would be showing a football game, the lady confirmed but we didn't book a table. When we arrived the following day, there was a table reserved with perfect viewing of the tv that she had saved for us. We had a Sunday lunch which was delicious and desserts were lovely too. Got chatting to a few locals and made us feel really welcome, would definitely recommend to all visitors. Thank you for having us.

Having read reviews in this establishment we popped in for lunch on the way to harry potter experience. All lived up to expectations, friendly staff and good food. I would recommend the fish finger sandwiche and chunky chips, one of the children also wanted the kids fish finger meal as a sandwiche and as if by magic bread and butter appeared on the side! This place is a must if you are ever in the area.

Me and the wife visited this afternoon as we were looking to kill time before out trip to Harry Potter World around the corner. We chose this pub by random and we were very happy with the choice. Staff very friendly and warm when we entered and immediately served us and gave us menus as well as showing us to our seat. Drinks were lovely, food even better and a service with a smile goes a long way to make you feel welcome. Quality of food was really good, we had a beef 1/4 pounder with cheese and an American chicken burger meal. Also a side of onion rings with a dessert and a couple of drinks each and was under £40, very impressed! I would and will return to this pub, mostly because of how welcome we felt but all of the above I mentioned. Thanks for having us 🙏

What a lovely pub that we could have completely missed if circumstances hadn’t lead us here. Tried to book a few restaurants closer to our hotel when visiting Harry Potter Studio Tours this weekend, but due to the current situation many were closed for food, which lead us to The Unicorn. Ordered our drinks and the Guinness was perfectly served. The girls drinks looked elegant in their glasses. Ordered food, chilli nachos x 2, bangers and mash and a child’s pasta. All beautifully homemade and delicious. The landlady was fabulous. Really welcoming and we had lovely conversation with her. Her staff were helpful and polite. Thierry, the pub dog, kept us company throughout out meal but left us as soon as the plates were cleared. He was perfectly behaved. Quick trip to the spotless loos and on our way into the night but only after the landlady made a special effort to catch us to say goodbye. That made us feel very special. Thank you. If we were locals, this would definitely be our local!

We chose the Unicorn to have a family meal as it is halfway between our Berkshire and Essex homes (there was 11 of us) I booked via telephone and spoke to the landlady who was very friendly and helpful. We arrived to find a long table set up for us, and as we were all arriving at different times, we were not put under any pressure to order food Asap. There were no starters on the menu, but we were too busy catching up to worry about that. There was a good selection of Sunday roasts (including vegetarian) as well as other usual pub food. Between us we had roast beef, pork, turkey and nut roast and everyone said how nice their food was (and good portion size) There was a good selection of desserts as well, but the home made bread pudding and custard was excellent. Once we had finished eating, the table was cleared, but we were under no pressure to leave, even though we stayed on for a bit talking, without buying any more drinks. All the staff in the pub were very friendly and helpful, especially the landlady (sorry, didn't get her name)
