The best restaurants in Aldenham West Hertsmere East of England

Popped in for coffee and cake when visiting the area. The lady who served me was so friendly and welcoming, we had a chat about the cakes and the weather. I had a slice of clotted cream cake and a coffee - the cake was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Wish I’d stayed for a full lunch. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent service, quality food

Poor starters - crab starter was all tomato and very little flakes of white crab. Steak tartare - plenty of tartare but couldn’t taste or see the steak. Rump steak good but at £35 plus veg it should be. Never again

Everything was perfect, very good staff and the food was nice and delicious. I'm very happy, with this kiss restaurant.

Food was cold and took to long to deliver, won’t use Aroma again

It was a celebration 🎉 for my husbands 60th, 25 People to cater for. Everyone commented on the food and not 1 complaint. We met the chef and she got all the admiration & thanks. Mandy and the waiters were short staffed but we felt very spoilt as they attended to our guests every need. We were never rushed & when it was time to pay , well I must admit I thought it would be much higher 😅 WONDERFUL LOVELY Highly Recommended 5/5

We arrived for lunch and it was busy but we managed to get a table after a short wait and placed our order. We had to wait 45 minutes for our food (with 2 small children). If they had told us when ordering it would have been that long we would have gone elsewhere. Children were so hungry by the time the food arrived that we had all more or less lost our appetite. 5 year old said 'we won't be coming back here again!' There's an honest review for you! But it wasn't just the ridiculously long wait that made this an unpleasant experience. When we asked the owner if she had an update on our food (who had already had a very loud go at another customer and made the issue very public to the room setting an uncomfortable atmosphere) we were met with a very rude response. She must have then told the chef that customers are asking how long it will be and the chef very loudly said "Tell them they'll get it when they get and they can...." I wanted to leave immediately at this point but we'd already had to pay when ordering. People in the restaurant starting turning around to look at us to ask us why they were being so rude to us. It was so unpleasant. All we'd asked was how long it would be as our children were so hungry. Never going back which is a shame as the food was actually nice when it finally arrived. The waiting staff who served us were lovely too.

Nice to spot planes and helicopters with the kids. Lovely atmosphere, very family friendly. Coffee is okay Did take 45+ minutes to bring lunch out though

The perfect local. Doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. Forget the nonsense about the hygiene rating. That was before the present owners and many many years ago. Google keep on putting up the review even though they have been told otherwise! I eat here often and have for years and never had a problem. Great atmosphere. Still the best local.

Very well presented food, tasty to boot, and generous sized portions. Situated in nice small upmarket shopping village. Never disappointed with food here.

The Red Lion hosted an engagement party for my daughter and her fiancée. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was amazing. The party was made really east to organise by the manager and everything went to plan. A truly lovely afternoon party.

Saar Pizza is the best place to eat because I like the peaceful atmosphere and there is such a peaceful atmosphere and all the team members work fast and all talk with friendly and driver's are very fast

Was craving thai food and was undecided on where to go but decided to give this place a go and I’m so glad I did! Staff were friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgeable about the menu, which enhanced the experience. The food arrived promptly and I was amazed by both the taste and portion. Overall I was super satisfied by the quality of food and taste. I was impressed and will be returning in future. I highly recommend this place for lovers of thai cuisine!
