The best restaurants in Bishop's Stortford Central East Hertfordshire East of England

Ordered on deliveroo early evening. Whole chicken and 2 portions of chips. When it didn't show up I checked the order, which FishNChkn had cancelled due to "unavailable items". It's a chip shop called FishnChicken. I ordered chicken and chips. What exactly had they run out of? And why can't they message you instead of letting you wait over an hour until it's late and then having to find something else to eat (and start the wait all over again). Not surprised. Bad service everywhere now. Just disappointed. And hungry. And won't have time to eat dinner now. Only ordered in because I didn't have time for anything else.

Absolutely fantastic place, food is outstanding

My family went here for my mums birthday and in terms of taste, this is the nicest curry in Bishops Stortford. HANDS DOWN! Chicken tikka masala, the English staple, was absolutely faultless. So tasty. Onion bhaaji, garlic naan, and garlic and onion rice were absolutely outstanding. The food was genuinely incredible, making this review a 5/5. The meal was more expensive than alternatives in Stortford, but I genuinely think the quality is worth it. But don’t drink in there, pints are £7 and even soft drinks are £5. I will say, the restaurant knew it was my mums birthday and didn’t do anything extra or special, which surprised us. And there was only one waiter in the entire restaurant. It’s not a huge place, but at one point there were about 10 tables filled, so service was slow at times, but the guy was trying his best! Overall, a brilliant meal and a restaurant we will 100% be returning to.

I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. I ordered food, but the driver couldn’t find our house, and instead of trying to resolve the issue calmly, the manager started shouting at me. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, especially when I was just trying to enjoy a meal. I won’t be coming back here again and highly recommend avoiding this place if you want decent service.

Connor was fabulous and the food was amazing. 💯 hope this stays in Bishops Stortford. Its something different and great fun with the free retro machines too! Street Fighter after a waffle was great fun with the kids. The choice of toppings was excellent and the range of sweets was excellent. Bubble tea and bubble juice is available too as well as burgers, hot dogs and vegan options too

I agree with the review below the food is nice but poxy little portions I couldn’t believe how small the plates of food that come up but 4 chicken balls between 2 people what a joke also the prices on the menu outside the door are not the same as the menu inside we spent £80 and not a free prawn cracker in sight

Oh my goodness! Stansted overnighters you are in luck! only an 8 minute train ride from the terminal and a 30 second walk….. and you are in for a treat!! just had our second visit in 6 weeks….. GORGEOUS! wonderful warm welcome, attentive and caring team and the food ….. OMG! both me and my husband are very picky…. largely because i also work in the business. BUT!…. honestly….. it is very rare these days to have a 3-course meal and then sit back and say….. MY GOD! EVERY MOUTHFUL WAS A DELIGHT! Well done Team Woods! perfection!!'

Average review based on many visits - on a good day it’s a favourite of ours, particular the candied bacon burger. But last night was really poor. The chips tasted like burnt oil and were a grey/dark yellow colour. The wings were soggy and gross and the burger was really average. Hopefully just a bad day at the office.

How stupid of me that I haven’t been to a Pie and Mash shop yet! I’m happy to say that this one was a great choice. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff were very friendly. The pie was very nice. The dough wasn’t as crispy as I expected, but it didn’t spoil the enjoyment. Thank you kindly, F Cooke Pie and Mash!

Decided to give this restaurant a go, wrong decision unfortunately, worse Indian food I’ve ever had, tasted like it wasn’t freshly cooked, dry and mushy, onion bhaji’s were full of grease and not crispy at all. Husband ordered the bhuna and he said it is the worst bhuna he has ever attempted to eat. Most of mine went in the bin, worst dansak. Honestly the worst takeaway we have ever ordered and won’t be back and certainly won’t be recommending it

How this place has gone down hill, the smell of smoke from somewhere was overpowering. The empty table next to us was surrounded by chips on the floor under the high chair, the place was nearly empty and plenty of staff so no excuse there. That's our last visit.

Picked Rosey Lea because it has kerb appeal and there was a pretty terrace to enjoy the last of the summer. Had a simple lunch of baked potato and a glass of wine which came to £17.45. The spud was OK and came with a decent amount of salad. However, for that money I want a big, fluffy and really hot potato where the cheese is happily melting in to the mix. The one I had was warmish and smallish. Service was friendly but on the slow side.

Visited here yesterdayfor Sunday dinner, having heard good things. All four of us chose the medley of roasts, fortunately we declined starters & we were so glad we did, as the dinner was massive & really really tasty, making it such great value at £20.50 per person, as we were also unable to have a desert Would 100% recommend & we will definitely be going back again ! Thank you

Very friendly staff and good food

Always perfect and big portions perfect
