Not a bad pub was ok, staff was good workers and helpful. Drinks expensive but that's to inflation. Toilets 🚻, a normal toilet pub. Not a bad place been in worse.
Thankyou tho for all the staff help.
First visit to the Brownlow Cafe for a while and went to give it the benefit of the doubt post Covid but it has really gone downhill since the NT took over. Everything in disposable cardboard/plantbased cups/containers and the coffee was awful. Certainly not worth the £3.10 for a Regular cup. Food was limited and expensive. Beepers going off everywhere.
They are even trying to make you pay for parking now!
Won't be going back there again.
Bring back the days when you could have a good breakfast on a Winters day with coffee in a warm mug!! Its not going to happen but is it progess??? NO.
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.
Great pub great oldy worldy pub nice bunch of customer's who make you feel welcome. Good selection of beers shorts etc. Lots parking and in a great location. Great playing g field in front of the pub. There are shops nearby well worth a visit if your in hemel Hempstead can't wait to visit again.
We visited Berkhamsted to take a look around the Home & Colonial antique and interiors store. A store over 5 levels with "Black Goo" located on the very top floor. It is a great cafe / coffee house with superb decor and ambiance. We just had afternoon coffee (lattes) and cake, but the afternoon teas looked amazing!! Our coffee's were great and the White Chocolate Biscotti blondie that I had was very good. My latte was £3 and the cake was £3.50 Service was friendly and efficient and it all made for a very enjoyable experience. Would love to visit again one day.
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.
I went in December. The server was very friendly and helpful, which was really nice. There was a wide variety of delicious ice creams, and also a selection of cones and toppings. Expensive, but good
The Spotted Bull has closed down and reopened as Bull Rodizio
Ive been to this chain before they have a branch in Shaftesbury Ave London, Good food I will check it out soon
While waiting for my food an employee dropped a customers order on the dirty floor. He then picked it up and continued to wrap it for the not present customer. So I did some checking. On the window a hygiene rating of 5 is displayed. When I looked online their rating is actually a 3. Back when this outlet was run by a Chinese family it was superb, but since it changed ownership standards have fallen by a very long way. I cannot recommend this business in any way, particularly after witnessing this.
We ate in at Wamamichi this evening. Very quick, friendly service. The owner was very welcoming. I had the Laksa vegetable and tofu noodle soup, lovely fresh vegetables, and warming spice flavour, perfect for a winter's evening. My partner had the kungpo chicken and rice, which he enjoyed. It was a very generous portion, so we took half home. Also, delicious prawn toast as a side dish.
They have recently done up the decor inside, so it looks smart. We will certainly go back or order a takeaway again.
We ordered from “Crystal Mangal” which is what they are now called, you can find them via google maps but wanted to spread the word here too. Great doner kebab, we’ve not had one this good recently and the kebab is served with the salad to the side and you can order sauces separately. Really good quality taste and chunky slivers of doner meat. Highly recommend.
