The best restaurants serving British food in Dacorum East of England

We only had a drink, but a lovely old pub, nice people

i once went there and like im defo spending like 50 quid there its acc so good like idk who wouldnt like it

Beef rib very tender and delicious on inside but like jerky on the outside so a lot was wasted. Either meal deal isn't clear or we didn't receive some items. Ordered beef plus potato side assumed that would mean full beef roast plus extra helping of potatoes and gravy but only got half a cup gravy and 3 potatoes total. Not enough gravy to do justice to the roast. Drink was also missing which was supposed to be part of the deal. all in all quite expensive for what was delivered.

under new management from October 2024 so ignore previous reviews it's a great village location we didn't eat here so can't comment good atmosphere

The ambience of the pub is lovely, cosy and well decorated. For some reason though, the whole place smelled very strongly of bleach which isn't pleasant when you are eating and drinking. We booked a table for two hours, however was asked to vacate the table 20 mins early as they were busy, so we didn't get to have dessert. The service was good, however we had multiple waitors/waitresses coming over asking the same questions (if we were wanted more drinks, if the food was good etc) which got a bit too much. I think it would be better to have only one or two people waiting on each table, to avoid too much interruption. All in all, we had a nice experience and would come back again.

Nice pub by the canal, food a bit expensive though.

Great for a relaxing chilled evening with goodness and a great atmosphere. Food was well priced as was the drinks would recommend.

I would just like to thank all the staff at the Crystal Palace pub for the fantastic service we got throughout the day for our daughter’s 30th birthday party. We had so many comments from all our guests about how good the food was and what a great a venue you have. Thanks again

Been coming here for years, I know everyone cutting costs but the fish and chips was dreadful. Last time we came, sausage and mash wasn’t very nice, and was sent back, nobody spoke to us about this, even tough the dish had one mouthful out of it, the sausages didn’t have any colour and were like rubber, we paid and left. Went this evening as everyone has an off day, thought we’d give it another go, and it’s our local. This time ordered the fish and chips, always crispy, hot with lovely mushy peas, and lovely chunky tartar sauce, Today the mushy peas where from a tin I suspect, green water, and the tartar sauce was liquid , processed vinegary stuff, wasn’t nice. Plenty of food, but just soggy fish and warm at best. Gutted honestly, but won’t go back, the prices are shocking for the quality.

The atmosphere and service was perfect. The food was good but not up to the standards it should be for what you pay. Meat had fat and lamb portions were small. Just had two small medallion with fat on edges so made then even smaller. Would have been happy with three. Also very short on vegetables served with meal and potatoes so side veg were ordered, still veg were not impressive! Must add chips were lovely!

Classic spoons - burger and a drink deal, you know what you're getting, good burger, good chips, onion rings. All reasonably priced. Quick service through the app. Lots of sauces (ketchup, mayo etc.) available on the side. All good 🍔🍟🍺🍹

Friendly staff good selection of drinks

Went for dinner out of beef which was fine but the service was slow the foot was stale and hard not fresh and to top it off a few hours after we got home my whole family was sick including my 1 year old we have all been sick multiple times! This is the only thing we have eaten that could have made us all poorly!

went from dinner with the family tonight and i must say we had a lovely time from the moment we got there we was met at the door by the male manager who showed us to our table and our waiters was Jenny who was lovely and the food was nice we loved the selection of meat there was and the veg was full and looked fresh. we will be coming back again soon
