The best restaurants serving British food in Hertsmere East of England

Went for dinner on my wife's birthday. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Firstly after some time and having ordered a not cheap white wine, it was delivered to table by someone who'd never seen a non screw top bottle. When it came back opened, the foil was still around its neck and was warm. Waiter's response was it'll get chilled in the ice bucket !! Secondly don't ever order the rack of ribs. Overcooked, smothered in not very edible sauce and far too big for the plate it was served on. Had to ask for a serrated knife to help uncover the meat !!

Unfortunately this was one of the worst afternoon teas I have ever experienced. We ordered 4 coffees and 4 afternoon teas. 20 mins later out came 3 coffees and 3 afternoon teas. After we questioned it we were told the last one will arrive shortly, another 20 mins and we managed to speak to a lady who said she was the 'acting' manager who rather than apologise, stood there counting the afternoon teas as if we were lying. Eventually the last one came out and plonked on the table. The staff seemed really inexperience and the food was very mediocre. For the price of it, you can get much nicer afternoon teas than this place.

Ordered the steak medium. Came out, not as I ordered. Forgot all the sides…. No check up on the food by the staff. Waste of time. Walked out leaving a Stella behind! Bad!!!

We came to the fish and chips shop obviously for some fish and chips and we got what we ordered. Service was slightly slow, but what do you expect from a friendly and talkative cashier. It's a small business and is rarely busy.

Josh, the manager, is such a gentleman. Great service always. Excited to host my 50th there. Such a great vibe and music too

I ordered a foot long Italian with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. Given a tiny amount of lettuce and two slices of tomato, had to ask for more tomato and was given an extra slice!. Ridiculous for nearly £7 with no extra's.

Tonight we had a night out with my colleges finally and we were so happy going out after 12 hours shift. We were about qp of us and met just after 8 pm (after shift) one of my colleagues haven't had a chance to grab some food and got 2 glass of cider at the pub when she suddenly felt sick and gone to the toilet to easy herself up. We were all cool and enjoying our night without being loud or making any issues. When my colleague came back from the toilet the pub manager came to us and loudly told my colleague off and to go home immediately. Honestly I felt so bad and didn't really get why someone needs to go home after throwing up IN THE TOILET. Tryed to talk to the manager lady but she kept telling her to leave. Myself I didn't feel all this act was right and felt that I don't wanna go back anymore because if u feel sick they just chuck you out without even asking you if you are ok.. I'm really disappointed!!!! We are in the pub drinking their drinks and once u get sick you have to leave?? What kind of treatment is it?? We have been to the pub many times but never had this treatment and also have to meantion we left lots of many there drinking.. Truly disappointed! To the lady who is the 'pub manager' would like to ask to be more human next time and stop acting inasent.. I believe this place used to have an other management team but after renovating things has changed.. WRONG DECISION!
