The best restaurants in Bushey Heath Hertsmere East of England

We hired the smaller private room for a family tea to celebrate a special birthday. There were 15 of us, grandparents, parents and children. From the start of our relationship with Mabel's administrator, Martine, discussions flowed easily - price, one glutenfree guest, one vegetarian, lots of details - nothing was too much trouble. On the day there was plenty to eat - sandwiches, scones, cakes and a drinks bar with prosecco. Sara, our waitress, was a star, making sure everyone had everything we wanted including extra cups of tea or coffee. Everyone enjoyed the relaxing informal event. The room was full of Victoriana and the children loved the experience and also the opportunity to explore the garden (with adult supervision). Our family tea at Mabel's was everything we wanted for our special day. Huge thanks to Martine and Sara for all their beautiful hospitality and care.

A wonderful afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings, lovely traditional tearoom and excellent service . Couldn’t fault it . Can’t wait to return.

piping hot, and as always, excellent service and quality food

This restaurant is by far the absolute best Italian restaurant I have been too. The food everytime was outstanding. The manager and staff are so friendly and welcoming. Totally recommended eating here

Really good family run local Italian. Large menu for a small restaurant. Nice atmosphere, genuine welcoming staff, the excellent food is well presented and cooked to order so is always piping hot. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THE BEST PUB SUNDAY ROAST WE HAVE HAD IN YEARS!!! The pub is olde worlde beautiful, warm and cosy. Every member of staff was welcoming, attentive, accommodating and friendly. The food was outstanding!!!! Compliments to the chef. We will be returning as often as we can. Highly recommended!

Really nice food and service will definitely be visiting again.

The food was tasty, and the service was very quick, which was great. However, I was a bit frustrated when the bill arrived without us even asking for it, and then the card machine was brought to us just two minutes later. I would have understood if the restaurant was busy or if there were people waiting for tables, but there was only one other table occupied at the time. It felt a bit rushed and left me with a poor impression, unfortunately. This experience has made me hesitant to return.

This restaurant used to be our favourite local eaterie. Not now. The food standards have deteriorated markedly since April 2024. I was so disappointed, I am writing to the management to complain. It’s not a cheap restaurant but when the food was superb it didn’t matter. To pay for food that was sub standard makes things worse. I won’t bother going again.

Very understaffed as usual - Every time I come here with my Daughter I have to wait 5 minutes+ in the entrance just to be acknowledged, and the staff seem very oblivious to anything that’s going on in the restaurant. Serious management is needed in this place. I don’t expect much of the Food here, however it’s getting progressively worse. Won’t be coming again.

Had a deliciously, warming hot chocolate from here and the most wonderful warm friendly service. Hope I find myself back in the area so I can visit again and stop a little longer.

A very friendly Cafe/Restaurant with a great choice of food options. Whether it just having coffee, a snack or a meal this is a great place to eat. Whatever your age there is a menu for all. This Cafe is wheelchair friendly and the staff are very obliging and wonderful to sit and chat to as well.

We returned here on Friday evening and enjoyed a really lovely meal, great selection of food with plenty of choice, delicious fresh ingredients & a very warm welcome. Very happy to recommend!

I simply tried to order a takeaway however unfortunately it never turned up. After placing the order I asked for it to arrive by 8pm. The woman said no problem. By 8:15 the food still hadn’t turned up so I called back, the woman was incredibly rude and unclear and disinterested. She didn’t provide any reason why the food wasn’t here and then cancelled my order! I called back again and asked for the food to still be delivered, but this time it was 8:30. The driver called by and said the food wasn’t 4 minutes away but by 8:45 it still hadn’t arrived. I called back for a fourth time and spoke to the same rude woman, she claimed that I had told the driver I hadn’t ordered any food, despite constantly going back and forth with the Resturant, why on earth would I have said such a thing. My order was cancelled by the woman and she hung up on me. Totally rude unpleasant and unprofessional staff at this restaurant.

No working toilets, bad rude service, terrible over priced food. Had my worst restaurant experience here.
