Three Lakes Restaurant in East Hertfordshire

What a hidden gem! Great wait staff, beautiful views and location. Food was delicious.

Great place for a bite of good warm food. Great venue with beautiful views and the service is exceptional.

What an amazing place for Sunday dinner. Quality of food is amazing. We went for extra meat and all the sides. Well worth it

probably the best roast Dinner I've eaten this year. Highly recommend it!!

Such a beautiful view. The Over60s menu was great value. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Chips were more like crisps but apart from that we all had a lovely lunch. Apparently wonderful in Summer to sit out on the balcony.

Food was excellent and staff really friendly and attentive. It's a really nice setting.

On a warm day, it’s a lovely setting. However, £17 for 2 pots of tea, a microwaved dry crispy scone and microwaved sausage roll chopped into 3, to make it look more substantial, is a bit steep. I’ll leave it there.

Three Lakes at Westmill Farm just of the A10 on the way to Steveange ( opposite Ware recycling centre) Plenty of parking on arrival and lots to do on site . fishing, water park, camping etc. Restaurant could be better signposted. Warm welcome and we chose to sit outside. Views over fields and lakes amazing. Service was very good and food orders did not take to long. Presentation of food was good as was the quality. A great place to call in and chill out.

Great location overlooking countryside so changing seasons. Overspill car park. Comfortable seating inside and out. Reasonable pricing. Mid afternoon so just coffee a d snacks. Friendly staff, friendly and knowledgable about gluten free.

I read a number of mixed reviews about the breakfast here. I thought ‘how hard can it be to get breakfast right?’ The breakfast arrived with cold beans in a pot. I was given a very chipped cup with a very chipped tea pot. It was impossible to pour the boiling hot tea without spilling. I asked for the teapot to be replaced as it was clearly dangerously damaged. The old tea was simply poured into a new teapot. The beans arrived finally hot. I think the breakfast is poor value for money, tasteless and bland. It was merely hot. There were a number of flies in the restaurant and I had to swat the flies in order to eat the food. Will not return.

Had five small plates and shared them with some wine 🍷. Very nice and didn't take long to demolish.

The location is the best part, need to invest in some fly nets etc was all eating and surrounded by flys, waiting staff need to a customer service improvement but over all an okay experience

Delicious food, excellent service and a great menu. What more could you ask for?

Took my mum for her birthday and will definitely be going back. All 3 of us were extremely happy with our dinners ( 2 x beef & 1 x chicken). All the food was well cooked and very tasty. The portion sizes were good. I felt the food was good value for money. The staff were very friendly and attentive. When I went to give a cash tip they advised that service was included, though I felt the service was worthy of an additional tip. We sat outside and the views were amazing. Would thoroughly recommend.

Nice lunch overlooking the lakes from a balcony. The food was good and the service was great, so I would highly recommend it.

As a bride I cannot praise Kerry and the three lakes team enough, they couldn’t do enough to help us and they made the the planning and actual day stress free as possible, it’s a beautiful venue with amazing food, we couldn’t be happier and our guests were happy too, highly recommend.

We had a fabulous wedding at three lakes from the moment we spoke to Kerry she made us feel at ease her experience and knowledge and attention to detail was impeccable she had answers and ideas for everything I can’t thank Kerry and her team enough if your planning a wedding go and book a appointment to look around it’s a beautiful venue with a picturesque view of the lakes you can’t go wrong all the best to the team and thank you

I was sadly pretty disappointed with breakfast at three lakes. There was not an alternative milk option for coffees, so had tea with uht soya milk and I ordered the egg bap which was two pieces of dry, un toasted bits of white bread with two overcooked eggs. I had breakfast here a few years ago and it was gorgeous so this was a disappointment for me, regrettably I will not be returning.

I wish they were already open for swimming too

Beautiful countryside views outside ideal place to relax &enjoy food &drinks 👌 😊

Excellent food and service in a nice location. Particularly appreciated all the gluten free options - I’m a Coeliac and enjoyed having a delicious burger and chocolate brownie. The service was also very good - friendly and helpful staff. Many thanks !

We visited for our 5 year anniversary dinner, having got married at The Three Lakes in 2019. When my husband booked the meal he advised of this and in all honesty there was no reference to this from any of the staff or the duration of our meal. The food was lovely (thankfully), however the service and atmosphere needs a lot of attention. We were also accosted whilst leaving as to why we hadn't paid our 'optional' service charge. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Lovely location when the weather is nice, perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon with loved ones

A nice welcome Stunning views Couldn't have the table we wanted by the window so was sat at the very back in the corner. Was told other table was reserved even though there was no reserved sign on it and it didn't get used throughout our 45 minute stay. Mocha drink was insipid Service was pretty quick for the drinks but we couldn't order our breakfast straight away as we were told there was a 'backlog' in the kitchen. Not too long before that was resolved and food did arrive soon after. Although the food tasted alright the presentation was non existent, really poor considering the bill was £26. Photos attached... I did ask for an extra 'half an 🥑 avocado' for £2, and in fairness, that's exactly what i got. My sister's order of mushroom and eggs benedict on buttered English muffins (as stated on the menu) lacked butter and this had to be asked for... Not one of the four waiting staff who serviced us asked for open ended feedback. Personally, i will not visit again as i felt the food (and even the service) to be lacking on basic finesse and presentation.

Lovely place to eat and look out over the hills / lakes. Nice food and nice service. Did loose a point for prices I’m afraid. £10 for three scoops of ice cream 🙄 One adult and three children £140 for lunch.

Lovely location, fantastic views and a wide and varied selection of activities. Didn't eat but what we saw looked very nice

Excellent venue Excellent staff

A good venue for a large gathering with many big tables. However, its very noisy when full. The Sunday roasts are recommended, good quality meat and roast veg made up for an indifferent Yorkshire pud. Puddins all excellent, especially sundaes, brownies and sponge.

Relaxed & enjoy don’t worry yourself

Nice coffee and bap. Friendly staff and dog friendly too. Staff brought a bowl of eater for our puppy. Lovely place

Had a lovely lunch here. A little expensive but the food was delicious. Excellent friendly service and beautiful views.

Lovely little place with excellent service, friendly staff and great food. I visited with a friend having just ran Westmill parkrun. The sausage bap (with brioche bun) was excellent. My friend said her scrambled eggs and hash browns were excellent. Well worth visit!

Great looking venue in a really nice setting. We looked at this for a party venue but it turned out to be larger than we were looking for, but would have been ideal for a larger party and they only had a small hall for second choice which wasn't available for the date we needed.

Nice meal, very nice view across the lake, very good service; friendly and very efficient.

Excellent family meal for my wife's birthday

Lovely location overlooking the valley. Very nice restaurant with excellent menu and friendly staff. Dietary requirements were met with gluten and dairy free option. Was quiet the day we visited but would certainly go again.

Beautiful views, amazing service, and even better brownie! Would recommend

Very nice restaurant with great service and a splendid view, we had the Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and the Chocolate brownies with salted caramel and vanilla ice cream.

A quiet winter day with few custoners. Decent breakfast food, reasonably priced, good service. A lovely place to meet up with old friends

Lovely place for a Wedding and very good food 😊

Excellent service, food was better than expected for price. Waitress was really pleasant, best service and food been to for a long time. Highly recommended

Excellent venue for an office Christmas party. Great atmosphere, food plentiful and efficient and friendly staff.

The food was good, but it was a bit pricey for full English 😋 but still good £50 for 3 of us

Great service, great food, great venue

Pork was very fatty and just 3 small thin slices. Yorkshire pudding was tough. Cabbage had no flavour and carrots were over cooked. Pigs in blanket were ok and the crackling was lovely. The whole meal was cold. Service wasn't great but think they were short staffed. They cleared two of our plates then saw them serving other tables then eventually they came and cleared the rest of our table.

Arrived on Sunday. Slight disappointment at first seeing how small and overcrowded the restaurant was. Tables very close together and very loud. Then seeing that there was an outdoor area, we decided to move - best decision ever as our experience instantly changed for the better. The outdoor area with the view is astonishing. The food 10/10 and the young girl who served us, she was very attentive (not over the top nor fake). The outside area should definitely have heaters so we could come out there even in colder days.

Delicious king prawn and chilli linguine

Can not comment on the services as we were hired for our sweetcart Staff that we contacted were friendly, and the venue is ideal for all celebrations, especially weddings.

No atmosphere. No music. Food is ok, but overpriced. I felt like i was sitting in a cafe. Service very slow 🐌.

Dinner was so nice we came back for breakfast 😊

Attended the most wonderful wedding here. The setting is beautiful and the function hall was set out brilliantly by the lovely Kerry. Couldn't fault her and the planning service she provided. The wedding and reception went without a hitch. Highly recommend Three Lakes as a wedding or function venue.

No complaints, food and service always really good. Lovely place to sit outside with stunning scenery on a sunny day and in a fabulous location.

Stunning views and great food. The staff are keen and capable.

Excellent food in a stunning setting. Service was a bit slow, but they were very busy

Campsite was peaceful and well kept. Just on-site facilities need a good clean, they were not cleaned once in the week we stayed.

Good food and a pleasant experience

What an excellent place to visit with family! So much to do and great food, especially the breakfasts.

A good place to enjoy a casual meal, but be warned...sometimes you need to book, we've popped in casually on some days and been refused entry as it was fully booked. However seeing a whole section of the restaurant unused, I wonder if it was more staffing than fully booked. But a nice place to visit.

Great roast dinner, excellent understanding of allergies and they were happy to accommodate.

The green veg I was served was inedible couldn't get I knife through them. The waffles should not have been served, one was burnt black on the underside and you couldn't cut the other one since they were so hard and brittle. We weren't charged for the waffles but that is not the point. Won't be back.

Great place for activities, something for everyone.excellent country parkland.

Attended a birds of prey experience then visits the resturant. Food was great! Lots of other things to do on site too

So much going on outside for all ages. Food was excellent,

Went there for a meal on Saturday evening after reading their website which offered a “casual, romantic and cosy atmosphere”. It was anything but that, it was packed with large family groups and we were taken to one of two tables tucked away in tiny dark alcove next to the toilets. We ordered food and drinks and then had to ask for something to wedge under the table as it was see-sawing very badly. The noise was very loud, kids screaming and dogs barking, we considered leaving but thought as it was only 7pm it might quiten down a bit. Another couple sat down at the table next to us and joked that it was like Wetherspoons in there. The food and service was very good but do not book here if you’re expecting a nice relaxed evening. I left my feedback in an email I received the following morning and received a reply stating that they are very busy that time of year with large camping bookings and that they’re training a new team of staff. So If you’re looking for a nice quiet relaxed evening meal do not book here unless you like Campsite Restaurants with deafening noise and barking dogs.

Haven't been here for quite a while so booked an afternoon tea with friends. Setting amazing, food lovely especially the cheese & tomato sandwich and staff were spot on but the toilets were dirty, really dirty! Handles, walls, partitions etc had age old grim on them. I did comment so hopefully sorted before your visit 🙃

Water was very reedy I know they can't help it but it did mess up our line alot didn't stay long. Part from that we love it there plenty off fishing good price for day ticket. Plenty off room toilets are clean.

Had a ceaser salad which tasted ok but lacked in presentation, big slab of chicken with a slice of toast and a huge wedge of lettuce, I needed a steak knife to cut it all up!

Gorgeous views, great place for a latte and a bit of piece and quiet. Lots to do in the surrounding space such as pottery making and a huge kids assault course.

Lovely breakfast. Great service, dogs made welcome.

Looked like a nice place and the setting is certainly impressive. Food was tasty but expensive for what you get. We paid £45 for 3 people to have breakfast and coffee / tea / juice. Service was questionable, staff weren't unfriendly but several things were more effort or inconvenience than they should be, especially for those prices. FYI because it's not clear on the website, they open at 9 am on Sundays but you can't order food until 9:30. Keep that in mind if you've got someplace to be.

Went to look around to see if it would be suitable ti take the grandchildren in the holidays...Plenty to keep them amused.Member of staff we spoke to was extremely helpful and we will be returning with the grandchildren in tow

Beautiful loaction especially in the summer when you can sit outside. Have not eaten here (yet - just coffee) but others seemed to be enjoying their food

Everything great. But at £5.90 for a pint, you need a big wallet!

We had a lovely meal here last week. Sat inside by a window and enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake and hills. Service was prompt and friendly.

The restaurant nestled atop a hill, boasting a magnificent lake view. However my ordered food arrived nearly uncooked. Despite requesting a well-cooked replacement, the second attempt fell disappointingly short, leaving me unable to consume the dish. It seemed that minimal effort was put into rectifying the issue. Only after insisting on a longer grill did the third serving finally meet expectations. It is essential for any restaurant to prioritise customer satisfaction, ensuring that each dish is prepared with care and recognising individual preferences. Regrettably, while the ambiance was lovely, the culinary aspect left much to be desired, ultimately impacting my overall enjoyment of the restaurant.

Poor service, out of the 3 drinks ordered at the same time, it took 10 minutes for the first, 10 minutes later we received the second, and never got the third. Food came without any sort of cutlery or napkins

Great location on hills overlooking the lakes. Staff very curtious and friendly, and to top it all the food was delicious, can't think of anywhere else in the area that ticks all the boxes that Three Lakes does

Beautiful scenery and restaurant views. The only down side was their vegetarian options. Not very good and really unusual these days to not have a vegetarian option on the roasts. Abit behind the times.

Food was good, although more vegetarian options on the menu (none at all on the specials) would have been nice. As weather was good we sat outside where you have lovely views over the lake and you are nowhere near traffic.

I can most thoroughly recommend The Three Lakes and here's why......... There was a Party of 18 of us celebrating my sons 21st Birthday age ranges from 13yrs to 80+ yrs! We pre-booked a table and pre-ordered the food (all of us having three courses), our party included Vegans, vegetarians and one of us was Gluten free as well. The attention both Kerry (Shepard) and Alex (Brown) went too to make sure all our orders were correct before the big day was second to none, so professional and understanding it was a genuine breath of fresh air to receive such splendid service even before we'd put a foot in the restaurant. Helping ensure everything went ok for the big day. On arrival there's plenty of free parking which is always a bonus, we walked into the restaurant and our huge table along the window at the back of the restaurant overlooking some stunning views was beautifully prepared and we all sat down and ordered drinks. Starters were brought out (we were asked if we were ready first, we were in no way rushed to start our meal) Everyone commented on the great quality (and quantity in some cases!) of the starters and those that had ordered the Nachos had a bit of a surprise in that they came out in a huge bowl, it could be argued that this was a meal in itself, no complaints and empty plates all round! We then moved onto the Mains, six of us (including me) had opted for the Three Lakes Burger, It doesn't disappoint! Fresh salad, pickle and crispy bacon in a tasty bun and a huge burger beautifully cooked, accompanied by onion rings (proper ones, a good size and freshly battered) Coleslaw and fries. Absolutely delicious. The Vegans, vegetarians and the gluten free members of our party were all equally impressed with their food and if i'm being frank and maybe even a little blunt some of our party are very picky and precise and the fact there were absolutely no complaints equalled with empty plates all round is testament in itself to both the quality of the preparation of the food and its presentation along with Alex and Kerry's help to make sure everything was spot-on when pre-booking our food (food doesn't have to be pre-booked if normal sized groups are attending i should add, but because there was so many of us turning up in one go we did have to pre-order) . Dessert followed, some of our party struggled a bit due to the amount of food consumed before with the starters and Mains, but as with the previous two courses the quality was fantastic and everyone was more than happy. (doggy boxes are provided if you'd like to take what you cant finish home with you!) The staff were attentive through-out all courses, asking if everything was ok and enquiring if anyone would like more drinks etc etc. Fabulous and friendly service. After our meal we all went out to the huge Veranda outside and had a few more drinks and chatted whilst enjoying the stunning views. The weather was fantastic and it was lovely to sit and relax after such a great meal. All in all we were there for about 4 1/2 hours (or just over), we never felt rushed or pressured to "move along" and it was just a lovely friendly, family atmosphere. I've already mentioned the excellent service by Alex and Kerry, but also special mentions to both Jemma, friendly and smiley, who on the day went over and above to make sure everyone in our group had exactly what they wanted, when they wanted it and for who nothing seemed too much trouble to help us all enjoy my sons big day and also to Charly who was running around left, right and centre all day seemingly non-stop bringing food and drinks. Many of our Party hadn't been to the Three Lakes restaurant before, it was described by some of us as a bit of a hidden gem, but the service and food we received meant that many of us will be will now undoubtedly be returning for repeat visits. Now I've named the 4 staff members who really stood out, but i feel it only fair to add that all staff were Helpful, friendly and polite. An absolutely fantastic day that will live long in our memories and made my sons 21st Birthday one he'll never forget, thank you to all at the Three lakes, you were fantastic.

Lovely landscape and views on a warm Sunday afternoon. Coffee and chocolate cake were great. Service fast and friendly. Food delivered to other tables looked great and heard lots of positive comments this would encourage me to come again .

Very nice location, a little expensive, ate my dinner with my coat on, it was cold in there, food was above average, ..

Great set up with fishing tackle shop and lakes along side a good sized restaurant with plenty of seating inside and out. The restaurant was well organised and coped easily with our party of 8. Food quality was high, portion sizes very generous and prices reasonable. There is also ample parking on site.

Lovely meal, celebrated a hen do in the Tack Room. Great service from staff. Food was great, considering the amount of meals prepared it was a very high standard. Would highly recommend this place to others

Went for breakfast with my dog. Very welcoming staff and food was great 👍

Really nice place to fish good tackle shop there helpful staff will be going there again very soon

We visited for Sunday Lunch after our booking at the Pooches Paddock. We did prebook a table for 4 with two dogs as the restaurant does get very busy. We had 2 starters the sea food cocktail and ribs, both very nice and for mains 2 x Roast Beef, 1 x Roast Chicken, a children’s Roast Beef and extra pigs in blanket. The portions were very generous and tasted amazing!!! The food was delivered quickly and was lovely and hot and the waiters and waitresses kept us topped us with drinks! Service was great, food was amazing and we love that the restaurant is now dog friendly inside! Will definitely be back! Can highly recommend, thank you!

My friends & I lunched here a while back. We returned last week. STILL great food / service / atmophere. They have a GREAT vegetarian / vegan menu. The food is all cooked to order. Would definitely recommend & will return.

Just called in for a snack lunch. Easy parking. Good views. Pleasant staff. Returning on Sunday for lunch - table booked.

Great food, great menu and the best view in Hertfordshire.

Lovely setting over looking super landscape. Disappointing afternoon tea the sandwich’s were a Selection of cheese and tomato ham smoked salmon and chicken the chicken was the best others were very bland bread was not fresh a crayfish cocktail was nice followed by a scone cream and jam which I think was the nicest of the whole tea small cakes to follow small chocolate eclair lemon drizzle chocolate brownie and a macaroon the best being the chocolate elclair the other cakes seemed to very dry Staff pleasant offering replacement tea

Had a great meal very good service quite quick even though it was busy as it was mother's day staff very helpful and the chocolate brownie was excellent

Lovely family meal worth a trip lots to do

Only had coffee but very welcoming and good.

Nice staff lovely views nice food.

Had lovely surprise lunch and enjoyable craft afternoon.

Food was amazing, beautiful views and our waitress was super friendly.

Never again as the staff were not capable to get an order at all after we patiently waited for good 40 mins although we attempted to give an order in the bar area but been refused to. We even weren't allowed to see the manager to place a complain. lt was such a waste for a beautiful Sunday evening and caused us ended up in McDonalds! 😒Simply, don't expect much unless you have strong nerves.

It's a lovely setting and we had a nice walk around. Soup £6.50! Eek.
