The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Hemel Hempstead Town Dacorum East of England

Admittedly this wasn’t our first choice but finding a long queue and no tables in M&S we thought we should support this place as it only opened recently. What a mistake that was. The staff were pleasant and friendly although neither waitress was capable of serving up a cup of tea without spilling it. And at £2.60 for a small cup with a big standard Earl Grey teabag, every little drop counts! The standard tea was delivered with the milk already in the cup and the teabag floating around in it and was therefore terribly weak. And the food was a ridiculous price for the quality. One of us had a sausage sandwich which was decent value but it ended there. A soggy, tasteless jacket potato was serviced in a bowl that made it hard to eat and was topped with tiny rubbery prawns in the most tasteless mayonnaise I’ve ever encountered. For the princely sum of £9.90! A small amount of undressed salad and coleslaw in the same insipid mayonnaise did nothing to lift it and the whole experience was one of tasteless slop. I paid a similar price at the weekend for an absolutely top notch full English down at Apsley marina - just no comparison. And M&S do a much better priced baked potato with tasty coleslaw and a pot of tea. An equally tasteless Bakewell tart and coffee round off the meal and the bill came just short of £30!! Nothing would induce me to return. There are far better cafés within minutes of this place.

Less than after a year of opening this place is in need of a refurbishment, the toilets have been stinky and out of date since day one, I don’t know if their kitchen or bar staff have their own toilet but if they’re using these toilets then don’t ever eat here. The Garden is a mess, weeds everywhere, a wasps nest that has been reported several times but is still there, stink coming from the toilets, old splintered furniture. It’s such a shame as it’s in a prime spot overlooking the water gardens and could be so much better and at £3:80 a pint cheapest then I expect better. They do have free WiFi, free jukebox and show sports on small televisions, also pool and darts but if people are playing pool and darts then you can’t watch TV. Sadly I believe this pub won’t be around much longer and is a great opportunity missed once again.
