Friendly staff and good service, huge starters (even shared between two they were still big) and really good mains. Enjoyed the curry (although IMO a Durban curry should be a bit hotter) and it would be nice to see some South African wines on the wine list too, to complement the menu options. All told, a brilliant evening, and will definitely be back!!
The Horse and Chains – BusheyWe love this place. Great recent new Management and lovely friendly staff and atmosphere. Some really great authentic food from South Africa too. Good draft beers also. The owners are passionate about keeping a family vibe too and we always enjoy our time here.

The Prince George – WatfordBooked at table For Father’s Day. The staff where really friendly especially our server. The food was really nice, the calamari was fresh and the lamb was lovely ! Shame there ain’t more option for vegetarian / vegan other than a cauliflower steak but it was tasty none the less .

The Royal Oak Watford Heath – WatfordIt was very easy to book an inside table to eat then a table outside for later. The bookings were verified so no concerns. I had a roast, my friend had the vegan option and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We both had the brownie with salted caramel ice cream and could have cheerfully licked the plate clean. Delicious! Excellent service all round.
The Prince George – WatfordAnother excellent Sunday lunch at Horse and Chains.
The Horse and Chains – BusheyDisappointing way below average and very expensive. Roasts were ok (passsble at best). However options for non meat eaters awful (cauliflower cheese for £14) outrageous, asked for vegi curry if mild and only when it was served was diner told we cant do it mild so here is some yoghurt (she had asked if she could have a simple salad or vegetables instead and told no its sunday) so most of meal left uneaten. When said could not eat curry as too hot was offered free desert (not wanted) and no discount offered for cost of curry for person who effectively had no lunch
The Horse and Chains – BusheyI was expecting a quaint little village pub type feel but it was nothing like that, it was rather bleak and dreary inside and lacked any hospitality - the food was quite nice but sadly the environment or service wasn’t up to scratch
The Royal Oak Watford Heath – WatfordHave been going to The Royal Oak for 40 years, it has changed hands a few times, Lee & Sue are exactly what The Royal Oak needed to update it and bring it back to its' former glory at the same time. The food and service are fantastic, especially the burgers & wings. My current favourite is the prawn & chorizo starter, the beef short rib is also fantastic, as are the Durban curries. Actually, writing this is making my mouth water. Highly recommended, I now find it difficult to go anywhere else.
