The best restaurants serving British food in Three Rivers East of England

Great coffee, Bakewell slice and the service is always good, with Tony the proprietor leading the way. What more do you want from a boutique cafe.

We have to cafe on many occasions since it opened and we have loved it. However the last two times we have been the food wasn’t quite up to the usual high standards. However still a great place and fantastic concept..

We were a bit early at a recent funeral at West Herts Crematorium for a dear friend The newly opened tearoom named Bluebells came to our rescue and gave us somewhere warm and dry to wait for 20min It was absolutely packed, which is always an excellent sign of good food & service We just had hot drinks, but they were served promptly so as not to delay us Thanks

Great pub just off the Common - nice warm interior and a good place to watch the rugby. Great selection of beers and friendly staff. Nice beer garden too.

Must admit the visit didn’t start well. The car park is scruffy with bins, rubbish and sundry old equipment piled up and it doesn’t create a good first impression. Inside the welcome was warm and friendly but the chairs at the table we were shown to were scruffy and very stained. My first beer (London Pride) was sour, probably the end of the barrel, but was changed when I pointed it out and The Scarecrow much better. Not good so far. However, the staff were great and the food very good. Fish and chips was plentiful and beautifully cooked. The Hoisin Belly Pork something different and really tasty. Overall we all enjoyed our visit and would go again.

We popped into Rootz Coffee to sample their milkshakes and iced coffee. We were not disappointed: the Oreo milkshake was nice and thick and full of Oreo flavours, and the After Eight milkshake had the classic pieces of soft minty fondant throughout. We were even tempted by a slice of generously portioned cake. It's a great place with friendly service and a great vibe.

I had booked lunch in the Lounges for my partners birthday. The booking was made 7 days in advance and confirmed by email. The Grove called to confirm the booking the day before, and confirmed we wanted Sushi, not Afternoon Tea. They also sent an email to confirm again the morning of the booking. They mentioned nothing of not being able to sit in the Lounges on any of the confirmations. On arrival we were told they had overbooked, and The Lounges were now only for Afternoon Tea and we could go to the bar if we wanted. The Bar had business people on laptops and children running round, not the setting you want for a birthday lunch. Its disappointing that they overbook, but also that they didn't mention this when they confirmed the booking so we could change our plans. Clearly money over service and we won't be returning.

We past by the Bell on a walk and decided to have breakfast. Amazing value and the staff were super friendly. Definitely worth going there.

Great friendly pub and great coffee.

Absolutely brilliant, highly recommended

After many years of great food and service, we were shocked and horrified by the appalling lack of customer service following a terrible JustEat experience..... Despite knowing, and being known by this business for countless years, I am speechless. As it stands they will get no more custom from us, and we will share our awful experience with all our friends....

Tuppence and I took my wife and her 100 year old dad here last Saturday for lunch. We were made very welcome, the meal was first class, the drinks excellent and Tuppence loved the attention and fuss she received. We'll be back!

Faultless from beginning to end. Security staff, reception, welcoming, service and food all excellent. Quite expensive but worth it as a treat. Will definitely be back for a special occasion.

High Elms Manor was a fantastic choice for our wake. From the initial conversations we knew that the team of Ailise, Catrine, Lili and Jon cared about delivering a first class experience to meet the needs of our family and all our guests. High Elms is a beautiful location and the room was spacious and luxurious. Hugh's 92 year old widow Margaret will always remember spending precious time with family and friends. Thank you High Elms Manor team.
