The best restaurants serving British food in Bushey Heath 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.

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.

Food was not great. Chicken burger not cooked too well. Jacket potato hard inside and out. Fairly busy and not well attended by staff. Previously on a number of occasions we have had great food and service. Not aure what went wrong on this occasion although I didn’t recognise any of the staff members
