Reviews in Watford

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

Lovely pub especially on a sunny day. The staff work very hard to keep everyone happy, always with a smile and a suggestion on food and drinks. Good menu with something for everyone and the food was great. Imaginative and tasty.

We have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. The food is always really good and the menu is very varied. I love the transformation with the car park area now a covered seating area and this has also increased the number of customers which is great for them. The staff are all really good. Very friendly and efficient. They are good with their Covid rules. Masks have to be worn if you’re walking around. Always our first choice for an evening out

Lovely food, very attentive staff.

Spot on

I visited Forest of India a few weeks ago and I have been back several times. Its a great restaurant, food and quality is also great. I will definitely be visiting again soon. 5/5

Visited the Nascot Arms last night - absolutely fantastic! Couldn't believe the quality and quantity of the Thai food - excellent value for money, friendly service and a great atmosphere.

Lovely food and very friendly staff!!!!!

A Great little find, The Load of Hay at Watford Heath is a real friendly local pub, a mixed crowd, friendly staff that enjoy working there. traditional pub food, home cooked and at traditional pub prices. Nothing fancy. If your bored on a Monday night try out the quiz night, £60 for the winning team when we went.
