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.

Excellent pub. Was here on a 2 days course and had lunch here both days. Such good home made food. Lasagna was great and chicken Sunday roast was superb! Lots of healthy veg and big portion of chicken.

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

Been coming here for so many years now! Always receive the best service from Abdul, he even knows my order off my heart- would highly recommend!!!

Lovely local pub with friendly service and warm atmosphere.

Went yesterday for lunch. 3 adults and 2 kids. Had starters, pizza for the kids (an adult one to share) and main for the three adults. Starters were okay. Pizza was okay.. little underdone. Mains were a huge let down. Two of the adults had the porchetta which was bland. The mash was great. Gravy tasted cheap and was watery. Veg ok. The chicken burger was a monstrosity. Nobody wants that much chicken thigh in a burger. Fries were good. Chicken was cooked but only just. Why not use breast? Much nicer for a burger. Drinks wise we had squash for kids, soda and lime, a coke and just tap water. Overall for £145 for three adults 2 courses and 2 kids 2 courses it was a rip off. No alcohol consumed which would’ve justified the price. To top it off, all three adults were unwell later in the day. Wouldn’t go back, which is a shame because the setting is beautiful and the pub itself is lovely. Service by a lovely lady was lovely. Everyone else was a bit ‘meh’..

Service very slow and several menu items unavailable (7pm sitting!) only a choice of 2 mains. We were told it was the ‘chefs last day’ as a reason. The chef was female and therefore couldn’t be the people advertised on the website. We felt mislead and disappointed.

Fusion Foods is my go-to Indian takeaway. Delicious every time. I'm glad they deliver out to me in Dunstable. They do other food and when I visited before, the Indian side is not really as prominent. I can't speak to the other food but if it is as good as the Indian, go for it!

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.

Clean tidy and friendly with plenty of off-street parking. They also have an electric vehicle charging bay powered by BP pulse. Staff friendly from the moment you arrive. The room clean and tidy bathroom were very clean. Would give credit to the cleaning team as they make this hotel work well. Did not eat but was given information regarding getting food if I wanted it. I used user eats who dropped to reception, and I collected. Would highly recommend this hotel for a short stay in the area

Chrissy was our waitress and was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meal!
