Three Blackbirds in Dacorum

Pub grub, but better than most, and at a normal price, lots of dogs there (the most dog friendly pub I have been in) great atmosphere, will go back

Was here for member if the family funeral wake. Very happy with food supplied and service.

It's just a lovely old pub with lot's of character.

Only had drinks pretty quite so not much atmosphere

Nice cosy pub with a fine selection of Greene king ales

We had the festive dinner there. The food was a good standard, the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The pub was decorated to a high standard. Definitely worth a visit.

Cool liltle pub nice food and good value for the money, on days like sundays, if you need somewhere were to eat when pretty much everybody else il closed, this would just do the job.

Food was excellent value for money and it included a tribute act will definitely return

Excellent local pub very welcoming by all staff, particularly Lee and Charlotte the landlords. It is great for a catch up over breakfast - peaceful.and good value. Sunday lunch is good with some pub classics also on the menu. I often sneak in for a drink after work😉👍. Much more suitable for families now that Sky has gone. Thoroughly recommend.

Great night. Comedian is so funny. Service and food are great 👍

Nice little pub popped in for a guiness nice a friendly pets welcome

We went to this pub on 27th November for an Event at lunchtime. Rod Stewart and a 3 course meal. It was fantastic. The staff were amazing and the food and Rod were fab. I was there far longer than I intended. I would definitely recommend this pub.

Lee and the gang put on an Elvis afternoon with a three course lunch. Started at 11.30 -3.30 It was one of the best afternoon my friends and I have had. Danny Graceland aka Elvis was absolutely brilliant. We often go to events here and the staff are all brilliant both lunchtime and evenings.

Visited on 27th November 2023 at lunchtime for a Rod Stewart tribute act. Great entertainment and atmosphere. Lee and his staff could not have been more friendly. I will definitely be going back.

The children’s Christmas breakfast was a faultlessly organised event at the highest level. The arrival of the ‘real Santa’ was received with glee. The children’s breakfast was ideal for their taste. The gifts were generous and the arrangements for parents and grandparents were ideal. Staff are well led and kind to every visitor. Full marks to the kitchen for coping under pressure. First time at the pub and it will not be the last.

We booked a table weeks ago, with people travelling from miles away to all meet at the pub, we called three times in total to make and confirm the booking. However when we arrived they had forgotten our booking and nothing was written in their book. Instead of offering a solution we had to leave. Absolutely disgraceful customer service!! We made a booking, called twice to confirm and they still ‘forgot’ us. Once a year we get together in early December for a Xmas jumper night out with friends who don’t all live locally so travelled and booked hotels etc and we were turfed out onto the cold streets instead of being welcomed into the pub that we booked.

Spent the afternoon here family chrismas drinks staff were lovley and friendly went out of they way to get milk for my coffee the pub chrismas decorations are fantastic so cosy and festive had such a lovley afternoon here 5 hours later and we left brillent great food great atmosphere today thanks u blackbirds

Need to look at web site regarding booking 3 course xmas meal booked table online following the Xmas fayre link. when we turned up it was not available we were told it needed to be pre_booked which was not specified on the booking. So we ordered off the main menu with which I was very disappointed i know these are ready meals but at least you could make sure they are hot, the barbecue sauce needs looking at as it was a glutinous blob with a skin on it, and the quality of the bacon which was a lump of fat could be improved. Would i recommend or return I am afraid not

Amazing place great food lovely atmosphere great for money

Lovely pub, lovely staff and great entertainments. Thanks Lee for m!King us so welcome. Xx

Disappointing early doors visit. Had a Guinness but had to point out that glass was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned properly. Need to think about how they use glass washer and drying glasses. Would have had another but decided no.

The worst Sunday roast I’ve ever had in my whole life. I’ve had better microwave meals. The potatoes are basically raw. The meat is tough and chewy. Yorkshire pudding is aunt Bessie’s. You need a chainsaw to cut through the veg. Credit where credits due - you didn’t manage to mess up the stuffing so congrats on that. If you want a nice meal - don’t go here. Can’t believe you charge nearly £20 for this shambles of a meal. Edit: you should probably look through your reviews to know that your food has been complained about, especially the roast. I’ve seen it mentioned a few times in the past couple of months. I’ll never be back.

Fabulous quiz, had a lovely time. Lee was an amazing host. Thank you so much.

Very friendly, buzzy, popular charity quiz nights and bingo, always a good time

Do the pub Quiz most weeks. Great atmosphere and great food selection, couldn’t recommend it enough!

Absolutely brilliant. Great food, great staff, even better quiz. Cannot recommend this place more.

Food and service absolutely spot on, chicken pie 🥧 was really fab, and a wonderful table service too 👍😊

We went to this pub on 30th October for an Event, Elvis and a 3 course meal. It was fantastic. The staff were amazing and the food and Elvis were fab. I was there far longer than I intended. I would definitely recommend this pub.

Was there last night for the first time but definitely not the last, ordered our meal it was excellent service & the meal was very good we loved it. Hope to go back soon

What a fantastic day I’ve just had in the Three Blackbirds, a group of 12 of us attended an Elvis Tribute lunch, excellent entertainment, good food & great service, I couldn’t fault it. Thank you to all the staff for brightening my Monday.

Been today with friends to see Elvis impersonator and 3 course meal at lunch time. A great time was had by all. Elvis was absolutely amazing, so good a lot of us were videoing him. Nice lunch. Definitely be going back for more tribute acts.

I went to the Elvis Tribute lunch today which was exceptional value and alot of fun. Everything was so well organised, Elvis impersonator sounded like Elvis, three course lunch was hot and delicious and all the staff were very friendly. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Do not go here if you want to keep women safe. My friend was abused: threatened sexually, had a pint poured over her by a drug-infused thug. I intervened, and he threw a pint over me, threatened me with a glass, shouted that he was going to stab me. In full view and audibility of the pub. His “friends” bundled him away. Bar manger told him he was welcome to come back. Manager said if savanna “altercation”, that he had taken 4 conflicting views of the incident, but never spoke to me, the victim, nor my girlfriend who were siting on the same table when the thug attacked us. He did not even have the grace to speak to my female friend who was stacked and very shaken. Police came, but could not do anything as the Thug had disappeared, and no one was willing to get involved, while his “friends” covered tracks.

Great night. Elvis was in the building. Great local pub with lots of entertainment.

Might as well drink at home if the staff there can't keep their customers safe. Wouldn't recommend to families.

Really friendly - a great night.

Great place for a few drinks and a light bite to eat, I had the Chicken strips with east coast ipa sauce and Stilton ... I didn't know this pub sold it, until Lee pointed this out.. so Thank you LEE I will be returning again for sure

Great local pub with lots of events for the community

My husband and myself visted The Three Blackbirds in Hemel Hempstead on Friday the 6th October .The staff were very welcoming and the place lovely and clean ..My husband had the Signature bbq burger and chips and i had the Hunters chicken chips and salad .The meal was presented well and very tasty.I carnt wait for the next time i go back and have a meal .

Now this place is a bit special!! Not only is it a proper pub, the food here is top notch too. The menu is very varied and can be adapted within reason to suit individual diners' tastes, eg. I didn't fancy chips with my Hunters chicken, so I asked if mash was possible, and Hunters chicken with mash duly arrived, not only did it smell amazing but tasted pretty darn good too!! Lovely staff, and very welcoming atmosphere. (Going back tomorrow to enjoy the Sunday lunch!!) PS. Well people, Sunday lunch was arguably better than last evenings meal, 2 plates of very good, well cooked, wholesome food!! Lee, you're playing an absolute blinder here, please keep it up! I really envy the good folk of Boxmoor for having such a place on their doorstep!!

Hi everyone, I recommend Three Blackbirds pub. We often just appear without booking and they are always happy to accommodate us (6). Yesterday my family went there and I was home unwell. My family ordered a take away for myself and they were so nice that they sent me the meal in a plate, delicious and warm, just as if I have ordered at that moment. Thank you to all the staff that are always welcoming and they do care about their customers. The food is freshly prepared and you have a lot of choices. I do recommend you to go there, you will have a lovely experience.

They have themed evenings some live music, food fairly good, at reasonable prices, nice atmosphere.

Took my dog for a special birthday treat. Genius idea to have an afternoon doggy tea & help Macmillan charity in the process. Food was freshly cooked. Ice cream & tennis ball are an added treat. Brilliant service & friendly staff. Would highly recommend. My friend also had fish & chips which looked amazing.

Took my dog for the doggy afternoon tea with his pal for his birthday treat at Three Blackbirds. I want to recommend this treat for your dog and Thank the Three Blackbirds for coming up with the idea. Amazing & should be advertised more. The food was amazing for them & freshly cooked. The ice cream & tennis ball were added touches. The staff are very friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Very good experience & would recommend.

Nice place and very friendly staff.

Attend the pub frequently with a group for a variety of different activities, such as drinks nights, tribute nights & brunch etc. We have attended a number of tribute nights which we have thoroughly enjoyed, great acts & good party atmosphere. Last night was a Tom Jones tribute act who was a great singer. Have also organized a number of groups brunches at the pub which have been delicious & a favourite of mine is the eggs benedict. The staff, Lee & his team are always very welcoming, friendly & helpful. I popped in today to get some cakes & support the fundraising charity cake sale for Macmillan & stayed for lunch which was a very nice short rib of beef, with mash & tenderstem broccoli. I noticed while I was in there a board advertising a mum's coffee morning which is great for mum's to get together with other mum's. It would have been lovely to have that when I was bringing up my children. They were also promoting a lunch & Elvis entertainment for people to attend & meet others & make friends, ideal for anyone feeling a bit lonely & wanting people to enjoy a meal & some company with. The manager Lee has lots of different things going on in the pub from the monthly tribute nights, mum's coffee mornings, interactive quiz nights, bingo, breakfast, coffee & cake & more. Take a look on their Facebook Page for more details of what's on & when.

A great local pub. Staff couldn't do enough for us, really friendly. Celebrated our sons' big birthdays with finger buffet which was plentiful. Love this pub. Quiz night looked great fun too.

Went in for dinner as a family of 5 service was fab to start with asked starters to all come out together however they didn’t which wasn’t a problem when main meals arrived my daughter found lots of mould on her wrap (diy taco) Childs meal, very noticeable to anyone serving up, I took it to the bar and they were very apologetic we have used this pub for many years and never a problem but unfortunately the chef did not have the same attitude. He also stated he was busy and would get the sauces we asked for out when he was ready. He also served a Calvert after we found the mould with more bread that was mouldy Advice to you get a new chef or you will lose a lot of customers We all felt so so sick. The bar staff were great not their fault and did only charge us for drinks as no one wanted to eat after that def not the experience you want to ever have to have and def won’t be eatting there again in a hurry.

Booked a dogs afternoon tea. Amazing! Great value, lovely staff and customers and dogs had a great time! Never been there before and will be visiting much more now. Lots of events going on there too-a real find.

Me and my friend decided to try somewhere different for once on a Friday lunch time, after finishing work for the week. We entered the pub where it was lovely and quiet and decided to sit outside in the sun for some lunch and a wine. When ordering at the bar, I didn’t bring my identification, so wasn’t able to order my wine, which I accepted and ordered cola instead. My 28 year old friend still went to order her wine where she was asked to present ID, which she did. Whilst handing the ID over to a member of staff behind the bar she was declined her wine as he said the ID she presented was fake. We were very taken back by this as the ID was most definitely not fake, if anyone was trying claim they was over the age of 18, why would they have the date of birth 10 years +. After this, we decided to go back to our usual spot and got refunded for my food and cola. My advice to you would be to get a scanner in place that can verity ID’s as this has left us feeling disappointed and will not return due to a member of staff actually saying the words this is fake. This is something we would never argue with it was not worth the hassle and decided to move on.

It's a great pub with a nice beer garden and good prices The staff are friendly and efficient

Had the roast beef dinner not good Scampi was OK . Roast beef dinner with veg which was overcooked.Meat was tough Won't be back.

A lovely quite pub, the staff was amazing and helpful. Definitely come back here again, plenty of seating areas choose from and Sunday Roasts are huge.

Thanks to Max and the owner for a warm and friendly welcome with personal recommendations and attentive service. Usual Greene King menu on offer. Plenty of seating options: bar, table service and garden. Love the idea of afternoon tea for dogs and plenty of reasons...

Warm and friendly welcome with personable and attentive service. Plenty of seating options. Usual Green King menu on offer. Pie needed a bit more filling but I think that's down to Greene King not the pub.

Being our local, we visit The Three Blackbirds regularly and always enjoy our experience there - great prices, great service & great food. As a vegetarian, I’m always impressed with their extensive veggie options. We visited last week with my parents and had a fantastic meal - the food was fresh and delicious, service was fantastic and the price extremely reasonable. Looking forward to our next visit 😊

Told a 27 year old member of our party their driving licence wasn’t genuine as it didn’t have a particular hologram (licence issued in October 2013, prior to the introduction of hologram referred to in February 2014). Refused service at the bar because bar staff are not up to date on identification legislation. Manager came to the conclusion via a phone call that the ID was not genuine.

Wouldn’t accept valid ID for a 27 year old, ID had never been questioned beforehand. Questioned over a hologram which had not been introduced until after the ID had been issued. Staff and management clearly not up to date on identification legislation, and wholly unhelpful....

I visited last Saturday, as I do every Saturday, and sometimes Friday, or more often if I haven't got to get up for work! I was asked to leave another review. As always, I have no critism from my perspective. The atmosphere is excellent, the staff friendly and efficient, and the food and drink perfect. 11/10!!

Very polite and helpful staff, Brilliant value for money, food portions were big, just how I like them, definitely going back for Sunday roast. Charlie

Always a great welcome from Simon whenever we pop in for a couple of drinks. Sat in the garden area where there's plenty of space, clean and tidy and lovely flowers.

Went to pub for dinner with friend. Warm welcome. Very helpful 2 men bar staff. Seating a bit uncomfortable as too high for me. Food fresh ,hot and tastful. Pie could have a bit more filling . Reasonably priced. Toilets in ladies was not pleasant though needs updating . Nice size garden but tables dirty so sat inside.

Having first visited on a Thursday, after an old pub-quizzing pal from 20 years ago was in the neighbourhood and asked me to find a quiz, I was impressed by the atmosphere service and food and made a point of coming back. It’s now become...

Long time no see. The garden looks good, the staff are friendly and welcoming. Must say I love the cheeky sign on entry. I'm afraid that much of the seating is uncomfortable. I remember how nice it was to sit in the alcove but not any more. Why have you locked the gate to the pub from the car park?

Visited this eve as a family of 7 (2 adults and 5 kids) for a Sunday roast. Landlord/landlady always very accommodating.We pre ordered so that we could ensure we still got roasts after the lunch time rush. Food was great, as was service. Good size...

Great food great host I'm not sure if the guy with the Goatee is the landlord or just an employee. But wow does he work hard. Very attentive and very amiable.

To be honest I came here during the later part of last year for my mum's 90th birthday. The food was awful and cold. I wrote a damming review but then the owner sent a reply asking me to phone him. The outcome of the...

Much better garden than pre covid. Decorations have been updated. Clientele are more mixed now rather than being heavily young biased drinking heavily mixed drinks. Live music back for the kings coronation which was good to se and hear

Says on here that they show live sports but they dont ? If they have stopped showing it then surely they should update the details.

Won't accept a proper European I.D

First time in the 3 blackbirds pleasantly surprised didn't know it was dog friendly or that they did food would consider going again

Friendly and lovely staff. Dog friendly, the food is superb and the drinks, price wise too.

Nice but expensive and dont serve well known largers

Great food and excellent service

Lovely pub grub. Great service. Really friendly helpful staff. We booked for a couple of tribute nights and a quiz before we left. Looking forward to coming back. Xx

Another lovely meal at the Blackbirds. Thanks to Simon for altering my meal - it was perfect. Great Team.

Really tasty food and plenty of choice too. Both the kids enjoyed their meals too. Very friendly and welcoming place, would 100% recommend.

Reasonable bar, decent range of drinks. Food can be a bit hit or miss and it gets busy very quickly (and empties out just as swiftly).

Both times we been everyone has been super friendly, great service and great food. Forgot till the end to put my Reg in so have to see what happens with the car park but tbf that's my fault as I literally read the sign before going in 😅. Will be back definitely :)

Basic pub grub, competitive price. Friendly staff! Do t forget to enter your vehicle reg at the bar on arrival if youve parked in the pub car park round the back. Enormous sandwich, never seen anything quite like it! Latte was nice. Furnishings are tired and looks like the building could do with an injection of love. Paint chips and messy telephone cables don't help.

The food is incredible and obviously the drinks are always decent. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Charlotte always seems to stand out and is always very helpful. I visit on an adhoc basis and is always spot every time 👌

I visited with my parents, in their eighties, for lunch and we were promptly shown to our table. The food was delicious and my parents were pleased to see soup as one of the starters. My mum’s lamb shank was served with mashed potato and...

Very friendly place overlooking the Moor,Madri on tap with great food too

It is a great pub! The food is delicious and there is good selection of lagers.

Delicious food and lovely friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Great friendly pub. Food is good. Remember to log your car reg at the bar. Great pub garden in the summer

Lovely pub, haven't been her in 15 years and it still has the same atmosphere it did back then. We'll done guys!!!

Such a lovely pub and the food is great. Would definitely recommend.

Recently went to Three Blackbirds with family & friends for meal, from the minute we walked in we were greeted by Charlotte, she was so helpful from start to finish, will definitely be calling in again very soon, nothing was too much trouble! Many thanks...

Food is great value, staff are super friendly. Lots of offers on food and drinks. The Friday Prosecco offer is our favourite. Huge thanks to Charlotte for making our Friday so enjoyable!

I've got to start by saying a massive well done and thank you to the lady who was originally alone at the bar when I entered the premises (I'm so sorry I've forgot your name). My nans funeral took place (27th Jan) and after not...

I can't recommend this pub enough. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. I attended here in the week as a large booking of 9 people. We were looked after by Charlotte. Service and food was excellent.

I have mixed feelings about this pub. It went from a decent place to have a pint, spend time with friends and watch football, to be more restaurant focused and no longer showing football. Food is pretty standard so not sure why you'd switch to being more dry than wet. Definitely don't not visit as I think it all depends on personal preference.

Sunday lunch 11 December 2022 could have been better, after talking to the general manager we came to a amicable agreement. Everything can be sorted out when you talk.

A good ol decent pub. Very welcoming and Morretti on tap. That's high standards in my book.

We had a Christmas dinner night there , staff were brilliant and the food was too. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent hosts with great daytime bingo on a Tuesday lunchtime with great daytime bingo/3 course meal and a fabulous tribute singer to finish.

5 of us came for our Christmas team lunch/drinks and we ended up booking bingo! What a fantastic lunch time spent laughing and singing! The friendliest, loveliest staff who could not do more for us!! Great food and value for money. Bingo was hilarious and donations went to GOSH which made it even better. Thank you for making us feel so welcome! We will be coming back!
