The best restaurants serving British food in Aldenham West Hertsmere East of England

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The staff were so kind when our daughter dropped her hot chocolate - they gave us another one for free and made sure it was cool enough for her to drink. Thank you. We loved the outdoor seating area. So cosy.

What a wonderful Christmas. Thank you to the Christmas Day team who made my mother and myself so welcome and cared for. The food was delicious. As someone who does not like Christmas dinner and have only tried it less than a handful of times, I found myself a convert and the Turkey was so moist it melted in my mouth. It beat the 5 & 4 star hotels which were two of the places I had previously tried Christmas dinner. I am grateful I had a blip and tried Christmas dinner here.

I booked and pre-ordered a Christmas meal for our family of ten. On arrival I checked in at the bar saying we had booked and my name. We were shown to our table, which didn't look very Christmassy and a waitress brought some menus. I explained we had prebooked, so didn't need menus and we were then shown to the correct table. We were asked what drinks we wanted: prosecco, sold out; vodka and coke, no coke; vodka and orange, no orange; zinfandel, sold out. We did get wine and beer. Food was OK. On receiving the bill I sent it back complaining about the lack of drinks so they took some off. I sent the next bill back as they had not deducted the £110 deposit I paid weeks before. Eventually got the correct bill and left asap.
