The best restaurants in Shenley Hertsmere East of England

If your passing or staying at the services at South Mimms don't bother eating there go to the Black Horse. People were friendly and staff very welcoming. Food was lovely and well worth the money. We will definitely be back.

Service and atmosphere was decent. However we did pay an awful amount for a veal and side dish which was not fresh and taken out of a fridge. Bit disappointing.

Amazing hospitality and food! We found this place randomly! Enjoyed our freshly cooked lunch sitting outside in the beer garden. We will definitely be 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.

I have visited this restaurant a few times and the food and service is usually good. Unfortunately on this occasion I had to complain to the restaurant because there was a large boisterous group of people at the next table who started swearing profusely as they drank more alcohol. Moreover, their children were watching music videos very loudly. This totally spoilt our meal and we could not wait to leave. I complained when I was there but nothing was done. I left as soon as possible. I contacted Camilla to complain a day later and she told me that she would investigate and come back to me. That was three weeks ago, not a word from the restaurant. I emailed to complain but not response there either. I am a very disappointed customer! Obviously they do not appreciate loyal customers. I do not usually write reviews or complain but the fact that Camilla ignored my complaint is not good.

This is a lovely place in a perfect setting looking across the countryside and has a lovely atmosphere. The new menu is welcome as it now includes meat, fish and chicken dishes. The food is perfect. Lamb ragu was really tasty and the meatballs delicious. Good choice of desserts too. The staff are really friendly, courteous and very well trained. They’re not intrusive and don’t leave you waiting and their timing is perfect. Will definitely be back.

Amazing spot and superb value for the 2 4 1 steak night on Tuesday. Beautifully cooked, locally sourced Ribeye, great sauces and great beers. Service was friendly and not overbearing. Highly recommended

Amazing evening with great selection of drinks! Food was awesome and the service from Ben and Gemma was second to none! Thank you!

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.

It's a Maccies, you know what you're going to get. However, it's the manager who earned a 5 star rating. I ordered on the app and paid for it, but apparently, the order didn't go through. I showed the female manager my order and the fact it came out of my bank, and she brought my meal to the car.

Absolutely dreadful customer service. Our order was taken promptly and the kids’ starter came out quickly, but the adults’ starter didn’t come out and the kids’ mains turned up before they had finished their starters! The adults’ starter and mains all arrived together and still no sign of our drinks. We had to ask for the drinks. Finally, we waited so long for the dessert and bill that we went to the till for each. The restaurant was pretty much empty and there were three serving staff, so they weren’t overrun. We were very disappointed and won’t be going back!

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.

burgers were black burnt, food was freezing cold. Absolutely awful!

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.
