Wow, what a wonderful pub! 6 adults and 2 toddlers and we were looked after so well, and the food was absolutely delicious! Amazing service and the pub is beautiful. Really lovely afternoon and I'd go out of my way to visit again.

Truly excellent. I had not visited the place for many years. It was previously a rather dingy and tired pub. With a change of ownership and complete overhaul and repurposing, it is now a lovely village pub but also a venue for events and meals. Highly recommended.

We had heard that the food here was surprisingly good (given it's village location in sleepy Herts), so we booked in for a Friday night dinner in January! We normally go into London but thought we would try local! It did NOT disappoint. The service and food were extraordinary. We ordered some bread and olives expecting the usual fair… what arrived were artisan olives and a homemade sour dough with whipped butter. An outstanding start. I had Ham Hock Terrine and sea bream with the most ridiculously deicious roast potatoes as a side. My husband had the burger (reported to be was delicious.) The sea bream dish needs it's own focus. It was light yet full of flavour with the leek and mussel sauce providing an airy, creamy accompaniment to a perfectly cooked fillet. The seasoning was perfect. Well done to the Chef. We were really impressed at the service. Meals were really well plated, Champagne served in a coupe and the attention to detail very impressive yet it was very relaxed and retained the country pub feel. The food is very fairly priced for the standard provided and the drinks menu extensive. We will be back and strongly suggesting if you have the chance to eat here you do! You will not be disappointed.

First vist here since it re-opened. On the whole it was a good experience. The staff were attentive and the food was a bit better than I was expecting. I have been to some slightly upmarked restaurants and gone away feeling a bit hungry still! My only moan and why not? I did think it was slightly ont the pricy side

The service was excellent and the food was superb. We had the duck and the turkey which did not disappoint. This restaurant maintains high standards.

There is not a thing we would change about our experience tonight. My partner and I have not stopped talking about how incredible the food was. We came to this unassuming pub on a whim and will be returning as soon as we can. Absolutely perfect!
