The best restaurants serving British food in Hitchwood, Offa and Hoo North Hertfordshire East of England

The food was nice but there was no salt and pepper on the table no lemon wipes to clean fingers after. Staff was around to seat you and take your order but would not look at you after so could not signal for the bill. Managed to pay at the bar and ask to box up what we could not eat.

Stopped here on Sunday for a couple of drinks. Lovely pub with an open fire, lovely staff and great drinks. Definitely recommend

We did the breakfast with Santa for my 2 grandsons , it was so lovely from Start to finish. Lovely atmosphere , lovely food and great staff. Great Santa too :)

First of all - I can’t comment on the food here because we had to get out of the place ASAP. Stopped in on a Monday to ask whether they had any rooms available for private hire for my recently deceased father’s wake. I spoke to a lovely young member of stuff who kindly said they don’t have private rooms, but small groups are welcome to take over an area, non private, for food and drinks. I visited the next day to show my Mother the pub. This time, we spoke to a short, balding, bespectacled gentleman. After greeting him, I explained the situation and my father’s passing, and that we were here to enquire about hosting a group to celebrate his life. Without one word of greeting, compassion, or basic hospitality, he snapped back “nah we don’t do wakes. Don’t need to do them. Look how busy we are, no need for them…” I began to reply “oh we came in yesterday and ….” and he interrupted with “no, no wakes here, don’t need them”. Then glared back at us in a “what are you doing here and why are you still in my pub” sort of way. We just stood there, stunned at his rudeness, and walked out shocked that someone who works in the hospitality industry can be so lacking in the basics. It would appear from reading other reviews, this is not a one off encounter. What a shame that such a beautiful pub, with many wonderful members of staff, seems to be managed or led by a man with such an awful disposition. I hope that when he goes through a traumatic life moment he is met with a rather different experience….

Amazing with very fast service very kind and positive service a very good selection of cakes and savoury food. Good portions and cozy seating. Very welcoming. Would 100% come again

Thanks for Offley Place staff for the warm welcome and a nice stay. Especial thanks to the chef for the food and Jack our waiter for the wonderful service during our evening meal. Thanks all!

Nice place and food and service good. Pretty boring atmosphere though and after we paid our bill and were leaving we called out goodbye and no one answered. We've been before and loved the little shop in the corner but it was disappointing this time.

Very good pub! The plates are generously filled and the meal is delicious! The glasses are large and well-filled. The staff is polite and attentive. I highly recommend it to French people who appreciate good food, as well as to everyone else!

Had the best time celebrating a 69th wedding anniversary with family. Lovely Sunday dinner. Beef was perfect and cauliflower cheese to die for. Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and good service. We all want to go again next Sunday!

Brilliant night for our work Christmas party! Had so many good comments from my work colleagues about how amazing everything was. Lovely venue, gorgeously decorated, excellent food, friendly staff and great entertainment. It was so well organised - Sarah was extremely helpful & quick to reply to my emails & queries. Cheryl was great and looked after us on the night, making it run smoothly and also joining in the fun. The DJ managed to keep most of us on the dance floor all night with his selection of tunes and getting us into the festive mood. We would definitely recommend this as a party venue and would come back in the future. Thanks again to all the team.
