The best restaurants serving British food in Hertford Bengeo East Hertfordshire East of England

My first visit today Mother’s Day, I was with my daughter and granddaughter. It is such a quaint place very well set out with a lovely garden although we ate inside. The service was very good and we we served very quickly although it was starting to get busy, the food was excellent in my opinion ( could have done with some parsnips though 😃) and with drinks a very reasonable price and am looking forward to Father’s Day next, definitely a place to return to.

Nice pub and beer garden to enjoy sunshine.

Rude staff. My food never turned up. I had to go ask them where it was, clearly forgotten. Then when it eventually turned up it was smothered in sauce so I sent it back asking for a refund. The waitress took the plate, didn’t say a word and walked off. Staff need training!!!!

Well, what a shambles. Booked Sunday lunch for today for 10 well in advance and deposit paid and booking confirmed again few days ago so aware we were coming. After at least 45 minute wait we were eventually asked if we were ready to order, having already told staff we were waiting to order after being seated for a good 45 minutes!! Told 2 tables in front of us had to order then it was our turn, even though we had arrived and were seated at time booked. When food did arrive it was immediately obvious it was tepid, which we made serving staff aware of immediately. Fresh dinners were offered but who wants to wait another hour at best for dinner. Having already waited for 1 hour 20 minutes we declined. Whilst front of house staff were very apologetic and said they'd get manager to speak to us, we had to seek them out ourselves. The manager couldn’t care less about our issue. Stayed firmly behind the counter with no attempt made to approach our table. Just because they were busy with a wedding and unexpected walk-ins due to good weather, surely booked customers should take priority? Totally spoilt the family gathering. Never again !!

Friendly service, peaceful atmosphere, and great coffee. I came in on a very rainy day for a coffee, ended up staying way longer than intended partly because of the sandwich, mostly because it was so calm.

Very nice service i love the fish that was fresh one
