The best restaurants in Shenley Hertsmere East of England

We decided to try Sunday lunch here, they don't offer roast, but the menu even though small, was varied, I chose the homemade Chicken pie and my partner the Schnitzel, both were delicious! The service also great, staff friendly and very attentive.

Good food. Friendly & cosy ambient. Efficient staff. Downside: not plentiful parking in forecourt.

Away from the main road, great, simple homemade food. Small menu, but well thought about. I had veggie sausage and mustard mash in Yorkshire puds. Fab cherry strudel after. It's worth the visit. (Found out that there are few TV programs filmed there as well)

Superb food, beautifully cooked and presented. Lovely menu, with daily specials. Friendly and professional staff. Would definitely recommend and we will he going back

Quiet, airy cafe with delightful staff and a wonderful outlook onto a field. The has brown bites were beyond superb and dare I say worthy of a detour. Peaceful place, lots of room, a great antidote to a dog walk and children’s play area just a short walk away. Plenty of parking too it’s an ideal rendezvous point. Coffee well made.

Upon arrival at this venue it appeared quite busy catering for all age groups. The atmosphere was good and service was excellent. There is not a single steak of any description on this Italian menu, our group was flabbergasted, not a sirloin not a rib eye not a thing. Peppercorn and garlic sauce not to be seen. This is the only uk Italian restaurant I have been to that does not sell steaks…why? I ordered King prawns for starters and beef lasagne for main course. I may be wrong, but the management did appear to be an Indian family and the main course arrived in a balti bowl. Note to self you do not get steaks in an Indian restaurant. I adore Indian food but was going with the flow with the friends I was with. I am a curry fan first and an Italian / Greek second so it would’ve been great to see what the chef could have put together in the form of Indian food. There was one person in the kitchen who also appeared Indian working really hard to provide all of the meals and he did a sterling job considering he was on his own My beef lasagne arrived. It was in a bowl which was incredibly hot because it had been clearly under the grill for quite some time. I wasn’t sure whether to write with it or eat it, but either way an asbestos mouth was needed. It lacked any taste even when cooled and dowsed in chilli oil. This misadventure may have been solely down to the fact that the poor chef was rushed off his feet. In summary it’s a nice place it was dark so we couldn’t see outside as to the beautiful views that I’ve heard reviews mention however I’ve been to many Italian restaurants around the country and this one sadly falls way short of getting a higher mark from myself. I just wish the food would’ve been Indian.

Says opens at 11 on a Saturday Here at 11.45 not open

Nice place well managed bistro pub/ dinning,good atmosphere clean &tidy ect

Good clean place to eat, with full menu and onsite parking.

What a great pub! Went for a long lunch and was greatly impressed with the choices on the menu. We had the prawn tempura sourdough toastie, yuzu mayo and salad… wow was delish! Prawns perfectly cooked, still crunchy, salad fresh and with a lovely dressing. Followed by dessert and coffee, all to a high standard. We were made to feel at home by the excellent service provided by Ben, thank you, nothing was too much trouble. We have already put our next visit in our diaries.

Stopped at Pizza Express in South Mimms services on the way home with my wife, and it was a great experience. This restaurant is much cleaner and more pleasant than the main service area, offering a quieter and more comfortable dining space away from the busy foot traffic. The staff were fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and never made us feel rushed. The cleanliness stood out as well, with spotless surroundings and well-maintained toilets, which is always a plus when dining out. 5 Stars for the cleaning team here. The food was exactly what you’d expect from Pizza Express—fresh, hot, and delicious. It was nice to see the team preparing meals right in front of us. We enjoyed our starters, mains, and dessert, all served promptly and at the right temperature. For anyone stopping at South Mimms, I’d highly recommend choosing Pizza Express over the other food outlets in the main building. There’s also a nice outdoor seating area, so we’re looking forward to coming back in the summer for a takeaway and enjoying a meal outside. Would definitely recommend!

A larger coffee house with plenty of space to meet people

Massively disappointed in both of our orders- chicken was minimal in one wrap and I ordered extra halloumi in the other to find there was 2 SMALL chunks of under cooked (if at all) in the whole thing. Both wraps were soooo bland and overpriced - just completely tasteless. It was our first and last time of ordering from there unfortunately. Wouldn’t recommend.

"I love visiting this Burger King! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The assistant manager and manager always have a smile and make you feel welcome. Highly recommend!"

AVOID THE TACO BELL! Pathetic portion size and I’m sure I didn’t get the paid extras I added to my burrito. It cost as much as a main course in a restaurant to! Really rubbish.
