The best restaurants serving British food in Dacorum East of England

I have a toasted sandwich I love, it's antipodean in origin and I call it the Jademan sandwich. It has bacon cheese and tomato with hot sauce and banana. Many have made this sandwich for me over the last 24 years in the UK but none make it better than Gary and he certainly is the best company if he has the time, while you wait :-) The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the breakfasts and burgers. Good tasty food at a good price.

Lovely small little coffee shop, delicious produce and friendly, supportive customer service. Be prepared to leave with a smile on your face! Please go and support them in this hard time.

Wonderful friendly pub, superb food

Excellent coffee! Shame they have changed the salads as they were so tasty and more like winter salads than the one on offer now!

Tasty fresh cooked fish and chips✨️

Turned up on the off chance with friends from the States (ex hemel) Beer was good, 4 meals were good and served with a smile. An enjoyable time was had by all

Good service and friendly staff. I had a sandwich with cheese, pickle and ham which was tasty, and fresh, soft bread! A family member had a cheesey jacket potato at £9 which does seem a bit steep (especially since they charge £9 for cheese and beans) so was a bit mean to charge the same just for cheese. However, there was lots cake to choose from and I enjoyed the general ambience and tearoom feel. One other thing to be mindful of is that they do not have a toilet!!

One of the best pub lunches we’ve ever had. Which covers many decades. A simple beef burger, not described in fancy terms but better than so many gastro-pubs that do so. Really good chips, and the coleslaw was crisp and fresh. And a really excellent lamb roast with very well-cooked and plentiful vegetables. Service was a match for the food. I could see all the waiters were very good though ours (dark hair, longer beard) had a good way about him. Exceptional. Worth a detour or a special visit.

So gutted to hear this lovely place has closed down. How sad. They were so popular too! The best scotch eggs around & apple strudel as well as the baklava! Where shall we go now?! Thanks for all the happy memories there and the great service too!

Stopped here for lunch after a recommendation from a lady in a shop. It's was great. Food and coffee was lovely and was a nice chilled atmosphere inside too. Will definitely visit again when I'm in hemel.

My fiancee and I had afternoon tea at Par 3 this afternoon. It was excellent with delicate sandwiches and far too many scones, jam and cream. The price was very reasonable too, just remember to book (at least an hour) as they make things fresh. Brilliant after a round of golf!

Very good choice of fruit and veg, though to see better pricing would be good. There is NO Tea Room.

An enormous thank you to Vicky and the Make Believe Ideas Cafe. They hosted a rainbow-themed leap year breakfast birthday party for my four year old and it was superb. The communication leading up to the event was fantastic, Vicky had great ideas to make it special and unique (everyone loved the rainbow fruit platter) and there was so much food that even the hungriest toddler was defeated! The unlimited drinks were free-flowing with great service and they accommodated our extra requests (doing the rainbow piñata under the marque outside). Jess had the party of her dreams! Thank you!!

For the last year I have been working at Hemel Hempstead. This cafe was recommended by a contractor as a good place to eat. They were not wrong. Everytime my team and I are in Hemel we always go to Maylands Cafe. The place is spotless, excellent prices, excellent food and the staff are always helpful and polite. The hot drinks are superb and the cost is really good. The location offers decent parking in the immediate location and the food is both tasty and quick. They can get busy at certain times, however we normally get there just after 8am and get served, seated and fed rapidly. This is how one of my fav places to go when in the area.

A lovely stay for my husband and myself whilst visiting family .. thank you! The room was lovely and breakfast was fantastic x staff were really welcoming .. we will be back xx
