Watford Soul Kitchen in Three Rivers

24/7 shop with the petrol station

We were a bit early at a recent funeral at West Herts Crematorium for a dear friend The newly opened tearoom named Bluebells came to our rescue and gave us somewhere warm and dry to wait for 20min It was absolutely packed, which is always an excellent sign of good food & service We just had hot drinks, but they were served promptly so as not to delay us Thanks

The food is 4* or more however a family dinner at a restaurant needs more than the food On Friday evening the Maitre D' was in a very obvious sour mood, his manner towards staff and ourselves as customers was abrupt, a bit intimidating and almost discourteous. I had suggested The Shish as our venue because it has good reviews. Really disappointed by the bullying tone of the maitre d'. I felt embarassed by the atmosphere that this created for our family visitors. A large non-itemized bill was presented at the end of the meal. The maitre d' seemed very put out when I requested an itemized bill. More than £20.00 had been 'automatically' added in service charges! The young lad who was serving was polite and helpful, but this was completely clouded by his line manager's impatient and hectoring stance towards his team and our family- his customers. Upsetting, and we won't be coming back.

I had a takeaway from here and so impressed! Really good food, very generous portion sizes, fresh, lots of vegetarian options and arrived hot. Highly recommend.

I popped in for some lunch today. The chicken was soft and juicy , well seasoned. Sides were delicious. Great portion size . Great place to grab some lunch or even food to take home and reheat later. Lovely friendly staff. Would 100% recommend!
