The best restaurants in Hertsmere East of England

Delicious food, wonderful service. Definitely coming back here again!

Working under staff unfortunately very far from usual Pizza Express service quality, the staff is working hard but the management made a big mistake to keep just 3 employees we waited for an hour and left only having drinks hope management sort the issue.

New management, wonderful staff, really changing this establishment around. Clean, fun, great atmosphere, children welcome with family's, highly recommended to go along, Halloween event coming up cannot wait fie the fun with the kiddies and adult evening.. Also available for private high at extremely good price for functions. Good luck with the new adventure.

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.

A larger coffee house with plenty of space to meet people

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.

The salt and pepper chicken was so dry and no chicken to be seen. The king po king prawn had a weird smell and the sauce was like water. All in all it was tasteless and very disappointing

Ordered takeaway - tandoori chicken tikka was totally bland almost like they had forgotten to add spices, the cheese naan was tasteless no cheese. Very disappointed!!!

Josh, the manager, is such a gentleman. Great service always. Excited to host my 50th there. Such a great vibe and music too

went there for buffet lunch today, cold outside and just as cold inside. The buffet bowls were mostly empty and what there was was cold. Staff don't speak to you and you have to ask for a glass to drink your soft drink from will not be returning there and definately would not recommend this place. Why open if your not going to do decent hot food.

Food poisoning - low quality, chewy beef with no flavour. And food poisoning.

Very good service polite people and delicious food, every time I place an order to collect the staff particularly ask what I need on the pizza and prepare a very delicious pizza

Saar Pizza is the best place to eat because I like the peaceful atmosphere and there is such a peaceful atmosphere and all the team members work fast and all talk with friendly and driver's are very fast

Was craving thai food and was undecided on where to go but decided to give this place a go and I’m so glad I did! Staff were friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgeable about the menu, which enhanced the experience. The food arrived promptly and I was amazed by both the taste and portion. Overall I was super satisfied by the quality of food and taste. I was impressed and will be returning in future. I highly recommend this place for lovers of thai cuisine!

if i could give this 0 stars i would the customer service in this costa branch is outrageous. disgusting staff who always kick us out for nothing and approach us in a completely inappropriate way, as a paying customer i never expect to be treated this way and i’ve been left furious and disappointed and the level of disrespect
