Reviews in Watford

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and excellent service. Really like that you can book a table at short notice and that after 6.30 you have it for the evening. Food was lovely

I had my 50th birthday celebration at the Prince George for 25 of my friends. Sandra and her team were delightful and looked after our every need. Can highly recommend a night out at the pub !!

We 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.

Staff were incredibly friendly, genuine and helpful. The food was outstanding and the environment created by everything from the staff, the food, the aesthetic was excellent. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Booked 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 .

Lovely grub. Friendly staff. Good outdoor awning for dinners not wanting to eat indoors due to Covid. Spoiled slightly by a few drinkers at one table ignoring the no smoking signs.

Great local pub, good for & service.

Lovely food and service.

Lovely food and service.

Love this pub the staff are super friendly and helpful and the food is put of this world the mac and cheese was amazing chips to die for and my hubby really enjoyed the buffalo wings this is why we keep coming back thank you

It 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.

I 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

Have 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.

We have been visiting The Royal Oak for over 30 we have always enjoyed visiting the Royal Oak This is first time we have had a meal . Our Friend Megan from South Africa joined us We had Durban curry for guys we both enjoyed The Ladies had Sausage and Mash Which they enjoyed We all enjoyed the quality of the food Megan said it be back great memories of how South African tasted Well done for marquee outside It made the meal more enjoyable Drinks we all enjoyed Tring side pocket and well done for backing local brewer Next time we come we have burger and chips it look amazing Young staff where excellent with knowledge of menu and drinks We all work at M&S Watford and will plan to have further visits It was great night Food ten out ten Atmosphere ten out of ten Service ten out of ten Value excellent ten out ten From me well done for Tring side pocket and real cider plus Doom bar

Our favourite place for a great Sunday Lunch. This week we both had the slow cooked shoulder of lamb which was excellent.

Unfortunately poor service. Server took the wrong order and when we politely asked for this to be corrected the exact quote was 'The kitchen is too busy so you will have to have this. Plus you have already started it.' It had been tasted (a tiny bite) to see if we would have been happy with it rather than what was ordered. It was not very nice and the ordered dish would have been preferred. No apology or solution was given other than just eat what you have been given. We were then treated as if we had been rude and made a scene. We felt very unwelcome and rushed throughout the visit, even prior to this. We shall not be returning.

Very lucky to have this pub as my local. Fantastic food, lovely cozy atmosphere and very attentive staff. I will continue to go back again and again and again.

Had drinks and food in the sun yesterday. As before the food was of high standard. The calamari was the best we have had lovely and fresh and not frozen rings as you get elsewhere. The chicken wings are to die for. Highly recommend for eaters bag and drinking. Staff are always happy and very accommodating. Keep it up guys
