The best restaurants serving British food in Hertsmere East of England

We hired the smaller private room for a family tea to celebrate a special birthday. There were 15 of us, grandparents, parents and children. From the start of our relationship with Mabel's administrator, Martine, discussions flowed easily - price, one glutenfree guest, one vegetarian, lots of details - nothing was too much trouble. On the day there was plenty to eat - sandwiches, scones, cakes and a drinks bar with prosecco. Sara, our waitress, was a star, making sure everyone had everything we wanted including extra cups of tea or coffee. Everyone enjoyed the relaxing informal event. The room was full of Victoriana and the children loved the experience and also the opportunity to explore the garden (with adult supervision). Our family tea at Mabel's was everything we wanted for our special day. Huge thanks to Martine and Sara for all their beautiful hospitality and care.

I had never been here before. What a lovely pub. Staff were lovely and helpful. Lovely garden which is contained so ideal to bring kids. Food was lovely. Very quite in the garden. Lots of parking. And the locals were so nice and friendly. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. 5 stars 🌟

Popped in for coffee and cake when visiting the area. The lady who served me was so friendly and welcoming, we had a chat about the cakes and the weather. I had a slice of clotted cream cake and a coffee - the cake was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Wish I’d stayed for a full lunch. Would thoroughly recommend.

To be honest, at first we thought that the reviews are fake but after what we experienced, i would give more starts if i could. Food was great, service was exceptional. Saleh was a fantastic host and for sure we will come back again.

Great spot for a lunch and lovely service. Everyone is so kind and attentive. We had a panini and a wrap which were both very yummy. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice brunch/lunch spot in Potters Bar

Had a takeaway order of haddock goujons and gefilte fish balls for a family of six. There was enough for two meals. All have gone with no waste. Excellent.

Turned up with a bunch of other cyclists and had hot drinks provided in record time, and hot food very soon afterwards, all with good service and good prices. We had outdoor seating, bikes visible at all times and will return again

the most expensive item on the menu was sirloin steak £15. I do not believe any other item on the menu exceeded £ 10 and its a big choice menu. the service was quick and attentive. the food was well displayed on the plates . the restaurant/cafe was clean and neat. a good place to go to eat.

When for lunch. The prices are reasonable and the are a number of selections on the menu. Food arrived quickly and we were all satisfied with our options.

Great service, very friendly staff and delicious food.

My husband and myself enjoyed lovely food tonight, my husband ordered two starters as a main, chicken skewers and cauliflower, I ordered duck salad and all was delicious and very satisfying, many thanks to the staff and chef.

All good ! Just a quiet time of the day so not much going on ( getting ready to close )

Amazing Sunday Roast Staff are brilliant Nice drinks too

Yazz was very helpful and pleasant always, its most appreciated when with a disabled client that we get treated appropriately

Have eaten here a few times. Twice in the last year I think. Good food and service. Thursday night is 30% off which is needed because would have been a little expensive without the discount.
