The best restaurants in Bushey St James Hertsmere East of England

Elton John Tribute show in Monty's bar. What a fantastic night. Great show in a well appointed lounge bar, but best of all was the wonderful bar and table service from a cheerful and professional staff team. Well done.

Came here after breakfast on the upper side of bushey high street, ordered dessert Apple pie and Custard. The biggest portion of dessert I've had outside my house!!! And piping hot. A calm and quiet service from the waiting staff, no rushing around. A busy Sunday morning vibe with local

Had Sunday lunch, very efficient service, very friendly and clean. Also very full!

Came here for a family birthday. Restaurant was quiet but still had a good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and great customer service, with one gentleman (possibly the owner) giving a great welcome and description of the dishes, with some great humour too. Food was delicious, possibly the best fish cakes I’ve had. Hope to be back

Absolutely incredible staff! Attentive and friendly. Lady with the septum was lovely and always present!! Food was absolutely stunning and full of flavours - highly recommend their "Pollo Bella Rosa". Thank you so much for the enjoyable visit with my wife.

Really tasty food. Polite service, didn't feel rushed but were attentive enough. I had pasta which was cooked al dente, and my sisters pizza was a great size with plenty of toppings. Our bruschetta was fresh and tasty. Good sized portions and felt fresh. A nice relaxing Sunday lunch.

This has to be one of the best places to eat in Bushey. Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. If I could give them more stars I would. The menu is varied with many delicious things to try and enjoy. They even have some delicious looking Sri Lankan dishes to have. Your taste buds will love you forever if you eat here.

The worst Sunday roast I have ever eaten. I don't understand how you can cook your traditional dish so bad. The beef was overcooked and the gravy too liquid and badly taste. Waiters do not pay attention to customers. The price is high for the quality and for the location, there are the same prices in London but with best quality.

Barracuda is a smashing spot for lunch. I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve visited, and this time was no exception. The quality of the food is exceptional, and the staff are truly outstanding — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to great hospitality. The venue itself is spotless and creates a really nice, comfortable atmosphere. If I had one small critique, it would be the coffee — it’s just not quite up to the standard of everything else. That said, the rest of the experience more than makes up for it. I’ll definitely be back!

Went to celebrate my son's birthday. The food was very good , meats cooked well but quite expensive for what it was. Most dishes you need to order sides on top which adds up. Cocktails were inconsistent. We had 2 the same , mine had hardly any alcohol while the other was very strong. Music was very good but there was no other entertainment for a Friday night. The hostess we had was terrible , no acknowledgement, no smile etc. Also we ordered the birthday baklava . Apart from a small show of preparing it , the server didnt really interact , wish Happy birthday etc. When he had finished cutting it up , he just walked off without any acknowledgement. When i am paying £30 for a dessert , i would expect at least a smile. One of the most expensive meals we have had for 4 people and did expect much better customer service.

I loved this place, lovely atmosphere, plentiful food at good value. The staff are really friendly and attentive and it's just everything you want for a great lunch

Very agreeable Indian. The food was really good and the staff polite

Booked a table for 6 people on the phone for dinner. When we arrived I was pleased to see a board with my name on it on the table. We tried to order the food online via a QR-Code on the menu. The order was rejected by the system, so we did it all over again, only to be rejected again. We then tried to order at the bar, but were told (rather unapologetically) that no food would be served at the location because they had been overwhelmed by people who watched the 6-Nations Rugby earlier that day. So we left with empty stomachs and of course could not find a restaurant that had a table for 6 at short notice on a busy Saturday evening. We ended up walking home and get something delivered (2 hrs later).

After being our go-to restaurant for family get-togethers for about 25 yrs, we are sorry that Alphonso is retiring and moving back to Puglia. We will miss you. On Sunday lunchtime the restaurant was packed with friends and family to say goodbye to a well-loved institution. We hope that the new owners will continue your tradition for high quality and good value when they open in November.
