The best restaurants in Park Watford East of England

The food prepared by the students is amazing and the students that served us were very professionally and well presented. Very polite and friendly. The price for the 3 course meal is excellent it is £18 per person. Would recommend a vist. It is open for dinner on a Tuesday, Wednesday and a Thursday evening. Just need to call west herts college and book a table from 6.15pm till 6.45pm.

We are a local community group. Our members always look forward to the lunches. This was the students first large group to cater for this term. . Not only did they deliver a delicious three course meal. The service was splendid. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you in a few weeks! ☺️

Best little take away coffee place in Watford. Lovely service and great coffee. Must go back to get one of those watercolours!

Cafe run by Mencap within the Central Library. Wifi and computers available to use. Coffee and toasted teacakes were really good.

We were utterly dismayed by our dining experience this morning at the Rhubarb Cafe. My husband and I visited the cafe, and I ordered a vegetarian breakfast. A friend joined us later and placed a separate order for a Cumberland sausage. Soon, my meal arrived, and I proceeded to eat it, assuming it was vegetarian. My friend's sausage was significantly delayed, prompting us to inquire about its whereabouts. Eventually, a single sausage was served to my friend. Upon finishing our meals, we were charged for two sausages, despite my friend only ordering one. When we questioned this, the lady at the till stated that the extra sausage had been served on my plate. This revelation was deeply distressing. I’m a devout Hindu and have never consumed pork or beef in my life. The lady at the till displayed a complete lack of understanding or empathy for my religious beliefs and the profound impact this incident had on me. Instead of offering a sincere apology, she seemed to perceive our concerns as a mere attempt to avoid paying. The young man who took our order demonstrated a similar lack of concern, failing to even acknowledge the situation unfolding. The entire staff appeared woefully unprepared to handle such a sensitive matter, with no consideration for religious dietary requirements. This incident raises serious concerns about the kitchen's hygiene and the potential for other diners to have unknowingly consumed dishes contrary to their wishes. This experience was deeply upsetting and left us feeling completely disregarded and disrespected. We urge Rhubarb Cafe to prioritise staff training on cultural sensitivity, religious dietary needs, and appropriate customer service. I understand that this may be difficult for non-vegetarians to fully comprehend, but I hope they can appreciate that consuming meat from animals that they don’t generally consume would be deeply unsettling, just as consuming pork was for me as a devout Hindu.

Great food and great service 5 stars all day

Fantastic venue with live music and a great atmosphere! Very friendly staff since the revamp and change in management.

Stopped with a few friends after Parkrun for coffee and a croissant. Was promptly served the croissant but had to wait over 10 minutes for the coffee to be prepared. A member of staff told me to wait outside, which I declined as I was starting to feel cold. He then asked me again, this time aggressively and when I refused again he started to act in a threatening way. There must have been 10 other patrons waiting for their drinks so clearly there was a staffing issue. A senior member of staff then intervened and asked her colleague to leave and despite repeated requests he refused and continued to make his point towards me. She apologised profusely and offered me a free coffee should I return. May I ask if they wish to avoid queues building up inside their cafe, staff should be deployed to assist the baristas rather than chastising their paying guests. I have frequented this cafe many times and always had a positive experience, its deeply disappointing standards have dropped.

We had am amazing experience. We were a group of 4 and made to feel very welcome. The food was excellent and we can not wait to go back again. Thank you for a great evening.

Another one of Watfords hidden gems!

Food took 1.5hrs to come out mains came first was told our starter was defrosting which was weird…

Ordered a cheese burger. This did take some time to arrive from ordering. The burger was pathetic, cheese slice looked like it had been cut with a laser and was congealed on the burger ( was on life support ), which tasted weird, and I wonder if it was some plant based effort. The chips came in a small wire basket, and would just about fill your palm. The seating is canteen / school hall style and not at all welcoming. There was a guy sweeping the floor who looked utterly uninterested in what he was doing, coupled with a negative atmosphere it was all a bit solemn ! Potential for a truly unique meet up diner / hang out experience is gone.
