The best restaurants in Hertsmere East of England

Ironically I wasn’t even hungry tonight but this place is so good, I had to get my fix. It’s ironic; it’s like rain on your wedding day or a free ride when you’ve already paid.

**THIS VENUE HAS SHUT DOWN PLEASE STOP ORDERING FROM THEM** This place shut a few months ago for renovation and hasn't opened since. However their site appears to still be taking orders in error. The below is my initial review of the place from a while ago; Rated 1 star for Atmosphere only because I have only ever had takeaway from this venue so i couldnt say! The food is always brilliant I have never had a bad meal from there and now won't order curry from anywhere else now. The portions are always generous and they will occasionally add complimentary poppadoms and chutneys with orders. Thoroughly recommended.

Visited this evening all I can say was it was shocking. Food just slung half hanging out of boxes or open sitting going cold whilst the two guys at the front who just did not seem to have a clue what they were doing. Walking around with one thing in a bag then constantly staring at the order tickets. I said to the manager about it and his response was that no they did not know what they were doing. We stood.and waited 20mins for our food which had been slung together and was cold. Last time we will be going back here.

First time of ordering and pleasantly suprised by good quality and portion size. Fish beautifully fresh, tender and flakey. Would order again.

Anything but a tasty , meat tasted old and cold, would not recommend

We had an incredible evening at the White Horse Shenley this evening. Thank you to our waitress Jolie and chefs Marian and Chen. Food and service outstanding. Most of all on leaving my car failed to start despite several attempts. We were invited to wait inside despite the staff wanting to finish up after a very busy service A big shout out to everyone for helping us out, offering to make hot drinks and just being there. A huge thank you for getting us out of the rain into the dry.

Worst service I have ever seen, Drive thru is very bad don’t recommend this Center

Visited with friends and we were absolutely treated; brilliant food, great environment, and Lindsey was a fab server. Thank you for a great evening!

The welcome was a bit frosty. The first table we sat at had all ripped chairs and smelt wierd. When our waitress took our order I told her that I had driven 3 and half hours and she agreed I needed a glass of wine. This took over 10 minutes for another waitress to bring! Very slow service and they weren't that busy. The starters were nice, the carvery was standard roast. The turkey was lovely, the beef was inedible! No one asked how our meals were. I would've ordered more drinks but by the time I called a waitress over, we just wanted the bill. The app made out there would be a discount, but it's just a reward system. Not local and if I visited the area again, doubt I'd revisit as no atmosphere and unfriendly feel.

I knew the meal was going to be rubbish when we managed to park right outside the restaurant.We arrived at 8 pm and the large restaurant was only a third full ,not great for a Saturday night .The veg soup to start with was taseless with no seasoning as was most of the food offering . To follow was the veal in a mushroom sauce , I have had this dish all over the world and I have never had the veal cut up in to small little pieces.Again no seasoning and tough, I left most of it , and on top of all this you have to order the vegetables separately, the sauteed potatos (cut up roast potatoes) could have been flavoured with some onion or rosemary to give them some flavour and the zucchini fritta was the worst I have ever seen or tasted, great thick slices with the fried covering falling off. No way is the chef Italian, my Nonna must be turning in her grave what is passed off today as genuine Italian cuisine. The local area is pretty and genteel and it deserves an authentic Italian restaurant, this is not it

Ordered food for delivery. ETA on app 7:05. 7: 30, no sign of food. Rang them. Phone rang for 10 minutes, someone picked up, background noise but didn't speak to us. Food arrived 7:55, cold. Told delivery driver to take it back. Instead he left it on doorstep and rode off. Live nearby, so took food down and complained to the manager. His response was "not my problem" said food was hot when it left. Asked how it got cold on a 2 minute motorbike ride. He just kept repeating "it was hot when it left"

$18 for some lettuce leaves. What a rip off. You should drop the price/add something to the leaves to warrant the price you are charge. Perhaps someone at the top should go to The Olive Garden to see exactly what you get in a salad for a much cheaper price. We visited your restaurant in November 2021 and I mentioned the price to our waitress. The only comment she made was that she doesn't make the prices!! I wouldn't recommend you at all. You don't even respond to your emails!

I have been in here a few times now. Always a friendly place. The staff work so hard. The managers are always juggling a million jobs. the cleaners are lovely. The cleanest I have been to. Thanks Paulime.

For a pub the food is delightful, I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. The staff are so nice and they have a great selection of beers on offer along with alcohol free drinks

Went for dinner on my wife's birthday. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Firstly after some time and having ordered a not cheap white wine, it was delivered to table by someone who'd never seen a non screw top bottle. When it came back opened, the foil was still around its neck and was warm. Waiter's response was it'll get chilled in the ice bucket !! Secondly don't ever order the rack of ribs. Overcooked, smothered in not very edible sauce and far too big for the plate it was served on. Had to ask for a serrated knife to help uncover the meat !!
