The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Fantastic service and menu. Impressed from the moment we arrived also by a knowledgeable and helpful assistant. We'll return for sure.

Lovely food good atmosphere and well worth a visit. Menu was varied and covered all customers. Will be visiting again Thank you

Staff with bad attitude!! Rang up around 5:30pm and were told we didn’t need to book we would be fine as a walk in as we weren't sure exactly what time we would get there. We arrived to be told there is a long wait for food, ordered 4 Pepsi’s which were all flat, we complained and the waitress never returned, she told us that there were 3 food items were unavailable on the menu, 30 minutes had passed so I went to the bar to swap my drink, got given another flat one so asked for a bottle out the fridge. We had waited at the table for over an hour for the waitress to come back to us to finally take our order to tell us that there were only 4 options left and they had ran out of food. We chose to leave, they wanted payment for the 4 flat Pepsi’s (only one got replaced) which we refused as we had waited for over an hour (9:30pm by this point) to be told there was no food, we raised the issue to be given attitude by two ladies behind the bar, they said ‘they need to prioritise bookings first’, surely you take orders in the order people arrive?? even though they told us we could walk in no problem and never thought to tell us the food had ran out during the time we were waiting, we were so hungry from being at the race track all day. The table next to us had half of their order missing and were still sat waiting for the rest of their food when we left. Awful, thank god we’re not locals!

Lovely, genuine old thatched pub, with lovely staff. The food could not be faulted and the portions were more than generous. Definitely intend to return.

Primera visita y un ambiente agradable. El personal era muy amable y servicial. La comida era deliciosa y variada. Sin duda volveríamos de nuevo.

I've been here for Sunday roast a few times and it never disappoints. The gravy in particular deserves a special mention. There's a choice of chicken, lamb or beef. It is also good value for money. Service is friendly and efficient. Overall a traditional country pub that serves great food .

We called in for a lunchtime drink and decided as we was stopping at a local campsite we would order takeaway food for the evening. No disappointment it was hot and well presented would definitely recommend

Lovely traditional pub, draught line-up wasn't really for me but certainly some classic real ales on the pumps. Would recommend this pub for when in Chorleywood

Beautiful traditional Pub beautifully set in Old Hatfield. Popped in yesterday with my hubby. Good selection of beers and lovely service from the lady at the bar. Warm & friendly Saturday early evening. Purchased drinks and hubby got a plate of Chilli and Rice for free. As long as you purchase a drink for £4.50. I had a bowl of chips which were £3 they certainly went down a treat! right old traditional pub grub!🙂 Great locals who made us feel so welcome & Doggy Friendly with a garden out the back. Will be back again very soon.

Tried this pub for the 1st on Saturday, wonderful welcome from the landlord on opening the door, there was entertainment by the sensational Andy the crooner Marshall, who quickly got the crowded pub singing & dancing, reasonably priced drinks were served, quickly by dedicated ,friendly staff, and the food was wonderful , highly recommend this pub

What an absolutely delightful place, me and my husband stayed next door after a flight so decided to have our evening meal here and how glad we were that we did, I was craving an ‘English’ meal so decided on the fish and chips and it was delicious and our waitress Zoe was amazing, very helpful, attentive, smiley and could tell she was pleased to help us, she was an absolute delight, so thank you Zoe 😊

Both our meals came out, at best, luke warm and the salad bar was virtually empty at 8.20pm. We were not impressed and would not return.

Nice spoons, good outdoor area.

Decent scotch egg. Sunday roast’s meat is alright but everything else on the plate is nice. The famous scotch egg did not disappoint— one of the best I’ve had. Mixed to a more chewy texture but not tough. Prominent sage and other herbs’ flavor. Slightly fatty so half per person is perfect :3 The sweet-tart apple sauce is very refreshing and delightful, though I sometimes forgot to dip in it because of the nicely seasoned egg itself. Roast beef seems overcooked. Only a hint of pinkness. Slightly tough but still tolerable. The beef flavor is good. Yorkshire pudding is fluffy and not greasy at all, though I hope it can be a little more eggy. Veggies are nice— especially the parsnip is cooked to perfect. The gravy is subtle and not overpowering. Fried calamari and prawn is not too heavy and the chili mayo is also lovely even fr a non-mayo person. I don’t drink but really appreciate the beer board with all the information :> The staff is friendly and the place is more spacious than I imagined. I really appreciate the young lady for adjusting our bill to the Sunday 2-course.

Low prices and a great location. Vegan options. Food was a little cold.
