The best restaurants in Watling Dacorum East of England

We were looking for somewhere in Flamstead where we could meet some friends before walking to Markyate and back. We spotted this coffee shop and were very pleased to have found it. It is obviously enjoyed by locals but we were also made very welcome. The various coffees we had were of excellent quality and flavour. The biscuits we had (including gluten-free for one of our party) were very good. The cakes looked delicious. The lady running it was very friendly. We'll be happy to return.

I visited the pub for the first time in years we got a very warm welcome the service excellent outstanding atmosphere the food was delicious I had onion & bacon roll cooked to perfection Thank you

Fabulous food. Lovely service. Such a nice place. Food cooked fresh and you are not hurried. Lamb dishes very tender. Will definitely be coming back.

Both main courses were incredibly sweet, the peshwari naan was filled with sugar. Very hard to eat. Something is wrong at Spice. Rice was fine, the plain naan was burnt. Very unsuccessful meal.

Super Indian restaurant, which my wife, myself and our friends regularly visit for an evening meal. Large menu of dishes which are always nicely cooked. Excellent service from all staff. Very pleasant atmosphere in which to eat with friends

I always rated the Safron as a quality restaurant, but under the new management it seems to have moved to a whole new level! The Chef has added a lot of new dishes to the menu, including some fusion recipes mixing Indian food with Thai/Chinese as well as all of the traditional fare. Our waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and made some great recommendations. It was a lovely warm & welcoming atmosphere on the cold winter’s evening we visited. It’s well worth giving this place a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Lovely local pub with friendly service and warm atmosphere.

Went for breakfast. Lovely food, friendly staff.

What lovely friendly new owners, so welcoming and the the food definitely deserves 5 stars

Just ordered via Uber Eats. Delivery driver arrived late and then demanded payment. When I told him I had already paid via the app, he didn't believe me, even when I showed him proof of payment. Demanded I open up the order on the door step and get all items out to show I had paid for each item!! Then I discovered one of the dishes had come open and leaked in the bag. Despite accounting for each item, the driver then insisted I phone the restaurant. He then proceeded to argue with them and then me. Every time I use this place, the orders are wrong, and/or items are missing. Food's ok, but the service is wholly unprofessional and impolite

Came to the area to buy a car and stumbled across this lovely little pub , outstanding friendly welcome , very very good pint no food but the land lady was more than happy with us bringing our fish and chips from across the road over , even providing us with plate cutlery and sauces to eat with , if we are in the area again we will be making the effort to visit this beautiful little pub again , highly recommend to everyone!

Excellent service but slightly disappointed in the amount of chips. Apparently a previous customer had eaten too many. Will return.

The food was nice but the area so far of town

Very disappointed in the food. My friend is a vegan and hardly anything available as they had sold out. She ended up with a burger but she didn’t want but only thing available. She asked for no cheese on it and it still came with cheese. The restaurant was very quiet at the time we were there. So surprised by the lack of choice. I had chicken skewers and the chicken was dry, tasteless and very tough. Profiteroles for dessert was not nice as pastry soggy. Not the normal level of food I’ve had in the past. Waitress was surly and unwelcoming. Was told it was due to getting ready for refurb and things will improve in February when they reopen. Will wait and see.
