The best restaurants in Berkhamsted Castle Dacorum East of England

Super friendly commuter coffee shop - Hassan and Neda take the time to learn everyone’s names so you get a huge welcome here

We had a lovely Sunday dinner here with a view of the canal. Our reservation was for two hours so we did not feel rushed. The food, service and weather were perfect. Highly recommend:)

Lovely pouched eggs on toast at such a reasonable price for high street cafe, kids scrambled egg portion was a good size and again reasonable price. Pot of tea great value, minimum 4 cups in each pot. Will come back.

Excellent food! Really one of the best pastas I’ve had in recent memory. Very simple and high quality ingredients. Staff were a bit inexperienced but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment at all. Will be back!

Had breakfast at Black Goo and despite arriving when they had just opened, they were only just able to give us a table as everyone else had booked. So prebook before you climb the 4 flights of stairs to reach this cafe. The bubble and squeak was interesting as it included carrots, cauliflower as well as cabbage. But it was an excellent breakfast and the servings are big. Saturday is definitely not a day to go there for a quiet cuppa as it is very popular with families.

A nicely decorated and chilled place. The lady on the till was very friendly. Definitely somewhere to go for drink in between shopping.

A great eatery in Berko! Here for brunch on Sunday, busy at the time but unhurried, super service, dog friendly, couldn't ask for more.

Small bar, plenty of staff, always a pleasure coming to Berkhamsted and this pub is a highlight. Terrific ales and the ciders are, somehow, better.

Service was good, prompt but not too fast between courses. Staff friendly and cheerful. Food was well cooked and good value after we claimed all our reward benefits.

The fish and chips are not worth much, the other dishes are good enough. The place is very beautiful and relaxing on a good day. You have to go and order inside the pub and it's a bit of a hike

Unfortunately not the best experience. Food isn’t great and very low quality.l, especially the sandwiches. We didn’t eat much of our food and staff did not question at all. Along with having aperol spritz and told ‘there’s no ice’ No ice… how can a pub have no ice? Overcharged on drinks and refund took 30 mins. Plenty of other pubs like the boat 2 minutes away with better service and food quality, unfortunately would not visit again.

Such a lovely atmosphere here. Staff are really friendly and cheerful, attentive but not annoying. We brought our mum here for mother’s day brunch and it was a really relaxing meal with beautifully presented food. A little light on Vegan options but great veggie options. Not over priced which makes a pleasant change for Berkhamsted! Love the decor, style and lighting too; light and bright in the atrium. Comfy chairs and nicely spaced tables. Would definitely recommend.

Waited an hour and a half for main meal. Pizza is supposed to be ‘fast food’ They were too busy doing takeaways which they were prioritising. Kids were starving! Won’t be going back anytime soon.

Love this cafe. It’s very convenient for me to visit after school drop offs. Very helpful friendly staff. Sometimes they have special offers for scones so I get coffee and scone for £4 which is great. If there is no special offer then I just get a coffee. Good selection of pastries but not a good selection of cakes. The hot food is all prepacked so I would never try it as it can never be good. I like going to cafes that prepare fresh food (affordable) and nice breakfast which you can’t really find in this Waitrose cafe unfortunately. But I love this cafe for my coffee stops.

Bought a Sourdough farmhouse - or at least that is what I asked for and payed for! £3.95. IF it is Sourdough it is rubbish! But I think I was charged Sourdough price for normal farmhouse. We buy Sourdough all the time wherever we go - so we know it when we see and taste it Genuine mistake or just careless or.......? Just make sure you get what you have paid for......... Left a nasty taste in our mouth - see what I did there!
