The best restaurants in Bovingdon, Flaunden and Chipperfield Dacorum East of England

The food is wonderful! On Google Maps it is still listed as Common Ground. Since Melissa took over, it has been called The Cake Shack. The space is cosy but there is outdoor seating for warmer days or you have your dog with you.

Best pizza I've had in a decade or more!

every time i come to the pub whether its for food and drinks or just drinks it is such good quality. staff are all lovely and the prices are decent.

Lovely pub. Great food, service, and beautiful location. Rooms could do with a little modernisation, though.

You get exactly what you expect. Which for the price is very good. Better than average accommodation at lower than average prices.

A fabulous Sunday lunch for mother in law's birthday. We arrived at 11.45 and we had a 3 course meal. We were made to feel very welcome and rearranging the furniture to make room for a wheelchair was no issue. We sat and enjoyed our meal and wasn't felt rushed at all. Myself and my husband had roast beef, which was just the right shade of pink. My father in law had roast chicken, mother in law had Lamb and my daughter had the wagu burger. Each plate was a generous serving and struggled to finish it all. We were given time to let our food go down, which meant it was inevitable to have a dessert. I had the Lemon meringue tower, which was just wonderful. The owners took time out to come and say 'hello' and we're warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to going again. 😁

One of the best pubs in the area now with the new management — delicious homemade food, honest and hospitable service, and a warm and cosy environment. Having lived in the area all my life and with a career in the culinary world, this is an excellent restaurant worth dining at.

Popped in after a walk, spacious and very clean Had delicious Mediterranean wrap, some chips and salad. Good menu, plenty to choose from. Table had been reserved for us. Food for 15 came out all together, hot and delicious and had been pre-ordered in advance. Very well organised. Staff friendly and hospitable. I'm not a dog fan and would prefer a dog free area, that said I can see that those with dogs would really enjoy it here. Ambiance was functional and sparse but clean and spacious. Will definitely go back again and would try the full English which looked delicious.

Incredible food, well priced and such a beautiful location!

Dining in here was an experience. Its nicely tucked away from main streets. A great pub with its traditional look and feel both in and out. We had a great time and enjoyed some amazing food.

under new management from October 2024 so ignore previous reviews it's a great village location we didn't eat here so can't comment good atmosphere

Lovely food, nice staff. Salads are really fresh, fish and chips great, pizza lovely. Great place to take away

Lovely pub and lovely bar stuff.

Went for our weekly mid week lunch this week and Christmas lunch last week, as always the food was excellent along with the staff who were friendly and attentive. We were joined by friends for Christmas lunch, this was a first for them and they will be back. Keep it up. Thank you.

Have used this McDonald’s for the past 20 years and in the past year or so it has become a shambles. My last 15 orders or so I have had to park up in the waiting bay. This McDonald’s is not fast food anymore. Shame as it used to be the best McDonald’s in the area.
