Gastropubs in Hemel Hempstead

“Lovely building, great food, attentive staff.I can recommend the Mezze platter to share as a starter. The pork belly with scallops was well cooked and presented.”

“We haven't been to the Fishery Inn for many years as we very disappointed, however as it has been completely refurbished and new pub chain we decided to try again. All I can say is what a massive difference! We came to celebrate my Mum's birthday. Our waiter was Johnathon and the service he gave was excellent and the food was delicious. We were a large booking of 10, which included 2 young children. Would thoroughly recommend now and the views from the conservatory was beautiful plus is has a retractable roof and glass doors which open for summer and heaters and blankets if needed for winter. Our waiter also mentioned they will make it like a Christmas grotto in December so will defiantly be going back. Thank you :)”

“My wife and I managed to get a late Sunday Lunch booking called at 12:30!! - a great telephone response - not the usual 'computer says no' - The chap I spoke to said , ok we're pretty full , but can you come at 1 pm but I really need the table back at 2:15 , deal done - we arrived promptly - welcome excellent shown to the table , drinks ordered and menus left within minutes - ordered the lunches roast lamb /Beef . - Olives and bread to start . Service was brisk polite and efficient without rushing us - mains arrives - they were very good , beef was a little rare which is what I asked for and lamb done to perfection - the veg - carrots and beans as they're supposed to be- al dente - roast potatoes were freshly done and good . I'm not a lover of yorkshire but had a go at mine because it looked so good . Ambience is very comfortable and the decor gave a restaurant feel rather than a pub so a big tick there. Parking is a little unusual but adequate space . Overall a very nice experience - I'm going on one of their Thursday special steak days very soon .”

“I've visited this lovely pub several times over the past few years. Each time the hospitality and service has been great. The beers, wines and food are very good and I recommend it whole heartedly. The food is fulsome and a few lighter options on the menu would push the food mark to 5 stats, but that is a very minor criticism. I will be back, many times I suspect.”
