The best restaurants in Potters Bar Oakmere Hertsmere East of England

Me and my wife celebrated our wedding anniversary here and it was fantastic! The food was brilliant. It was so tasty. We ordered from the set menu and the price was very reasonable considering the amount of food we had! Starters - The starters were great. We had prawn toast, satay chicken, ribs and sea weed with a continuous amount of prawn crackers. The starters were absolutely lovely. Mains - The mains were brilliant. We had approximately 6 dishes and that filled us up nicely! Duck - The duck was absolutely lovely. There was so much of it! A great amount of pancakes to go with it and the sauce was lovely too. Dessert- We chose the lemon sorbet. No words needed. So refreshing and full of flavour. Perfect dessert to refresh the pallet. Drinks - The drinks were reasonably priced. We didn't order alcohol. We ordered some cokes and a bottle of water. Seating - One half of the restaurant was very busy, but the other half was nice and calm. We asked if we could sit in the quieter side and it was no problem at all so we sat on the quiet side. Service - The staff were brilliant. Very attentive and very friendly. We definitely recommend this place. We will be going again for sure!

Beautiful fresh fish. Good old fashioned chips. And lovely friendly people.

Lovely service, everything was prompt and the waiter was on point with everything. I dislike unnecessarily waiting for service, food or the bill. But it was a super fast service and we left very satisfied.

Can't understand some of the reviews from 2019. There are no tables and chairs - this is just a counter in a petrol filling station shop that serves coffee and a few basic snacks. Did some of the old reviews actually refer to a different place?

Visited here this weekend, for the first time. Cute place, with a cycle theme going on. As a vegan, I was excited to see a handful of breakfast / brunch items on the menu. I had the vegan breakfast and my friend had the avocado wrap - both were great. Friendly service and fair pricing. Definitely coming back.

very friendly and always good quality food

This small mom and pop take-out shop serves good Chinese food that will not alarm or confuse local appetites. Been back a few times and it has not disappointed yet. However they only accept cash - no cards. Looks like they do a decent amount of delivery too. Friendly staff.

Business has failed. How does a Curry delivery business in England fail in 2024? By serving small over-priced portions.

We ordered online on a v busy Saturday. The web site said 45 mins and it arrived just a little later. Something on my order didn't go through so I rang them up and added it. As they were so busy, it was missed on delivery but I rang them and they dropped it straight here. Customer service 100% Food is fab Thank you Sea Chef!

Pottys, advertised as a 1950's themed diner. Firstly, I must stress that the food was lovely and the portion sizes very generous. The major downside to it though is that it is made up of two areas as it is attached via an open doorway to a shisha lounge and unfortunately, because of the ultra-modern music being played loudly in the adjoining lounge, the diner is totally lacking any authentic atmosphere whatsoever! Yes, there are lots of 1950's type memorabilia and posters on the walls and ceilings, but the whole place is tired, tatty and in urgent need of decoration and refurbishment. Most of the diner chairs were damaged and our table was completely wonky. It is almost as if new owners have taken the place over and cannot be bothered to re theme it. The toilets, and in particular the ladies’ toilet need urgent refurbishment. Very small and no toilet roll holders on the walls in the cubicles, simply toilet roll plonked on the sanitary bin! NICE! Toilet seat hanging off and bits and pieces of loo roll scattered everywhere including all over the floor In regard to the atmosphere, usually in an American style diner, you would expect 1950’s rock and roll music being played and the waiters and waitresses to be dressed in clothes in keeping with the era. What you get is staff dressed in modern clothes, i.e. leggings and crop tops, serving between the two areas and a DJ playing very loud house music in the other room. Not my idea of a 'Diner'. If you are looking to get dressed up in your vintage 1950s clothes and go down to an authentic American diner where you will hear the likes of Buddy Holly, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis while you get served by a waitress dressed as Marilyn, then you are going to be sorely disappointed! If, however, you are not in the slightest bit bothered about the authenticity of the diner and you just want to go for a genuinely nice burger and chips then this is the place for you. Although I declined, the desserts also looked delicious and huge in size! Alas, as a diehard fan of the 1950s, I felt very overdressed and out of place on arrival and will not be returning. Overall, a real let down for the Rock and rollers.

I have eaten here many times over the years and it's still good.
