The best restaurants in Dacorum East of England

Great pizza and great prices too. Best pizza in hemel.

under new management from October 2024 so ignore previous reviews it's a great village location we didn't eat here so can't comment good atmosphere

Went on a Saturday for a birthday celebration we had room just off of the bar FANTASTIC. We were allowed to decorate this area. It was at lunch time and the staff were very busy we had our own birthday cake but forgot the candles the staff supplied one and a large knife and small plates WOW what a place. The food was the best as well 10 out of 10 all around 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Our festivities over Christmas always end up by getting together with two very good friends. We enjoy New Year's Eve with a splendid meal at either their house or ours, and go out for breakfast on New Year's Day. For many years it’s been a bit of a tradition to visit The Kings Arms for their excellent Eggs Benedict. Regrettably, this year was not a good experience. Booked in at 10.30 a.m., tea and coffee arrived fairly swiftly, but then we waited an hour before we said we’ll pay for the beverages and go elsewhere. The delightful waitress was most apologetic but it still took another ten minutes before the food arrived. All the young waitresses were doing a wonderful job in the circumstances, but the chefs hollered at each other in the open kitchen, accompanied by crashing and banging of plates and pots and pans. Not the sort of racket you need with a sore head after an evening heavy on the wine. It was no busier than on previous years, but the cooking seemed to be highly disorganised. We would like to have been told on entry that it would be a lengthy delay before we were served. Totally unacceptable. (But the Eggs Benedict were delicious.)

Lovely food, nice staff. Salads are really fresh, fish and chips great, pizza lovely. Great place to take away

Food quality not an issue , it’s just not what I ordered. Disappointed as usually very good.

The food was good and ready very quickly. I was a walk in customer.

Lively pub next to the canal serves good beer and food. What more do you want.

Spent nearly all day here with friends, friendly and attentive staff. Food is great. They have different beers on throughout the year. Always good value…

We were very impressed with this establishment. A warm welcome from the young lady serving us. The food arrived hir and was very tasty. Puddings were superb. The service was excellent. Very good wheelchair accessibility. All in all a very pleasant family lunch. Thank you.

We stopped for lunch & ordered at 12pm, we were the first to order so food should have been good, Fish n Chips were awful, chips were rock hard, fish well overdone, just batter really, Veg burger sloppy & cold in the middle, fries were horrible, when we asked for mayonnaise the waitress said we had to get ourselves, we didn’t bother, wouldn’t have mad much difference to the food as it was tasteless in every way, when you are paying £15+ for a main meal you expect way better, food was worth £5 at most, beer garden lovely though, AVOID THE FOOD!

We enjoyed a leisurely dinner with family and friends in an oak outdoor pod. Lovely to have space to relax and enjoy the food alongside conversation. Our waiter was upbeat, helpful and friendly even bringing our food with a smile in the rain! Great flavours and good choice to suit all tastes. We will be back!

Come for Xmas eve lunch. Had amazing service from caz! Food was nice and came quick. All round good experience for all staff

Do not be fooled by the interesting sounding menu. The kitchen and waiting staff have no idea how to fulfil the descriptions given. Tasteless food which falls well short of the standards any decent pub should serve up.

The waffles felt fresh, soft and spongy, good quality ingredients, not too sugary, perfect balance. Would definitely recommend.
