Beautiful Ugley Chequers Tony Gillham Bishops Stortford Sunday Carvery
I recently visited your Pub with my Mum & Brother and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience. We all had a carvery which was absolute perfection, and what's more the staff were extremely helpful and nice and could not do enough to help us. Thanks for a cracking Sunday lunch and we look forward to visiting you again in the near future.

Over priced and staff only friendly when your eating there of an evening. We went with children and felt totally unwelcomed. Staff were offish and didn't really want us to stay although our children were well behaved and we spent enough money in there. Will not be going back.

Hand & Crown Mel Sawbridgeworth Great food, good sized portions love it.
You won't be dissapointed or come away hungry. Everything is good. Once you've been you WILL return. My only critisism would be that they don't cater for the children then i could come more for lunch.

Beautiful Ugley Chequers C pounder Bishops Stortford Upset 10 year old
For the last 2 weeks of going to the chequers in ugley has been nothing but a night mare. the first time was my ten year old granddaughter being upset after being told that she cound not have 2 more roast potatoes that the chef called seconds ! for the last 18 months we have never heard this before. week 2 as soon as my granddaughter went up for her carvery she was pointed at with a meat fork and told in no uncertain terms as NO SECONDS. after our lunch her father said to the chef that would he please speak to him first and not upset his daughter. well i could not believe the out come there was shouting and abuse from the chef and all with a carving fork pointing at my son in law.the noise then bought out the owner who was no better. there had never been seconds allowed in his pub but we know better because we had had seconds . when asking one of his waitressess she also said that we were right. if you paid your money you could go for seconds but not meat.they will not be getting any more trade from us we have always gone there with different people. what a loss for the pub.what appalling behaviour from both the owner and the chef in front of other diners.

Beautiful Ugley Chequers Mr s Warwick Bishops Stortford Rudeness towards repeat customers
I have been taking my family to the chequers pub for Sunday carvery for the past year however my 10year old daughter went back for seconds of roast potatoes this Sunday and was told by the usual chef that she could not have them but on previous occasions this has never been a problem and he had welcomed and encouraged seconds of veg on questioning him and the landlord dave smith they both became rude and abusive towards my family calling us liars and waving a large carving fork near my face,I also informed them that there waitress who was stood beside had stated we could have seconds of veg which she confirmed to mr smith ,they still would not apologise and maintained we were still lying very poor attitude towards myself and young family shame on you!

If your looking for great pub food with a good pint in a traditional Essex country pub look no further. I've been to the pub a number of times over the last 18 months and never had a bad meal. It's proper good honest stick to your ribs pub grub. Made the Sunday carvery this weekend which was really really good! It's how a pub should be.

The Three Horseshoes Gary Bishops Stortford Had a Pub curry lunch
The Three Horeseshoes has had a refit with new beech tables and chairs. The Public bar and Saloon are now one single bar with the oak wall beams still in place. The beer garden is much the same as it has been for the last 50 years. The front of thr pub has been set out with tables that has been done rather well. Good food and now a Free House with gest beers. Ales although I expect you can buy that larger stuff.

Food is awful, very poor quality. Staff are rude and abrupt - do not seem to know how to smile or how to offer good customer service. Everything very over priced. Such a shame as thought this was one of the best pubs in Stevenage.. but the past few times we have been it has been awful!

Beautiful Ugley Chequers Anonymous Bishops Stortford Would recommend and re-visit!!
Last saturday My family and I went to the chequers in Ugley for a meal. There was 8 of us, we were greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in. we were seated and given menus. The service was brilliant and the staff were so helpful and happy to serve us. I would like to say that not only was the service amazing but so was the food, we had 8 different meals and every single meal was faultless, especially the steaks, they were cooked perfectly to our liking and seasoned perfectly. if you want a nice day or evening meal with friends or family and want perfect pub grub and amazing service then visit the chequers in Ugley.

Black Horse Eve Lim Hertford
I used to go the black Horse in the 70s back then it was the best pub in Hertfordshire. it went down hill rapidly in the mid 80s and became a very unfriendly place so we all stopped going. Popped in the other week for old times sake and was delighted by it. The new landlord and landlady are very friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious, plenty of it and very well priced. I think we will be making it our local again, it has a feel of the old 'Horse' . It would be nice to see some of the old crowd back again, so if any of you are reading this,.... Get back to West Street.

Fish & Eels Still hungry........ Hoddesdon What a waste!
Decided to go for lunch today, plenty of staff hanging around being very loud....lunch arrived very quickly after first mouthful was asked if everything was ok at which time it was. I then realised that my black pudding salad with crispy fried potatoes and croutons actually lacked the latter two ingrediants, the egg white was runny, black pudding was mush and barely warm and the bacon was mostly fat....so I left it as at that point all staff had disappeared apart from bar man who was inundated with customers. My fiance 's scampi and chips was also well below par with the waitress hanging around until he had finished with the condiments. All in all a waste of time, money and nice setting on a sunny afternoon.

Black Horse Damian Hertford Poor badger
The Black horse or the Dead badger and MG Is a fantastic pub with a very welcoming crowd of locals, if you come in as a stranger you will leave as a friend. The pub offers a really nice selection of food (don't ask for a Badger sandwich! That might eran you a cuff in the ear from the landlady. The landlord Chris is a real old school gent. You will find a great selection of really well kept and served real ales as well as lagers, ciders and spirits. The Secret garden is one of Hertfords best kept secrets it is quite large with plenty of room for bbq's and partys. Chris and Kim also have an upstairs room available for parties, functions and meetings. Buffet meals are also available for parties. 20 out of 10

Well thought out, intelligent dishes. Some of the best food I have eaten in a long time. Have just booked again. Lovely atmosphere, great staff. Expect to pay £30-35 per head with wine. Portions excellent. This place was recommended to me by several friends and despite the fair distance to get there, was well worth it. Enjoy....

Hand & Crown Adele Moretti Sawbridgeworth Wonderful
We moved into a house across the road from the Hand and Crown around 3 years ago and have been locals from then on. Amazing staff, no exceptions and the food is talked about far and wide. Normally when you get very generous portions the food quality suffers but not here, I have never had a bad meal and my family and I have had a few! Even when we just go in for a drink we have a look at the specials to see what we are missing!

We frequent this pub occasionally when we are passing by Sawbridgeworth, and have always been overwhelmed with the warmth and friendliness of all the people who work there. The Landlord is a diamond geezer with a quirky sense of humour and the bar staff are quick and friendly. The garden is lovely and is well stocked with things to amuse children.

Three Horseshoes J colemen Bishops Stortford nearst pub to stansted airport
visited on a friday evening what seems to be a nice country pub next to Stansted airport. on entering the quaint entrance found a cramped bar, with eight place table fitted next to bar so close that there is no space between it and the bar. tacky red pattern carpet from the 70s. barman/manager complete with shorts (in october evening) tattoos and tee shirt, local shouting to all who would listen so loud it was painfull to the ear and another asleep on the bar. others doing some sort of trade in the dark of the gardens. beer was passable although over six pounds for two pints as a little strong. would only try the food if Mc Donalds was busy or closed. carpark was full so one would assume airport parking available.

White Horse John Denton Harpenden Some good food but arrogant management
We had a reservation for a table for on our weeding anniversary for 7.00pm, made well in advance. At 9.30 am on the day we had a call from the pub asking us to confirm our reservation and were told we must vacate the table by 9.00pm. No arguments allowed, take it or leave it. We have so many people to serve. We left it and managed to book a last minute table at The Bean Tree in Harpenden which we prefer but is further to walk. For years The White Horse has been our local, within easy walking distance of our home. We and our friends have eaten at Novelli's a few times to date. The food is good but not exceptional, the portions small, the service indifferent and the prices too high. It is a pity the management is not interested in local trade. When the novelty of Novelli has worn away they may wish they were.

so so small, but very very lively. it's filled with a mixture of people but probably more 'greebos' than elsewhere.

Three Magnets kate Letchworth magnets - weatherspoons prices!
i like the three magnets, not for the atmasphere really as it attracts the wrong people (like chavs,loud mouths) but now they've added bouncers it's stopped that and us youngens (who LOVE to partay safely :P) can sit down,have fantastic cheap drinks and have a laugh without watching our backs

Marchmont Arms stuart smith Hemel Hempstead Truly horrific dining experience
Family party of 11 had a traumatic lunch experience. Ages ranging from 5 to 103 varied dishes chosen . All meals cold, tasteless and uncooked. Very small portions. Were offered discount , small compensation for a spoilt family get together

Black Horse Sam Hertford Unfriendly and unwelcoming
It has been a long time since I walked into a bar, was stared at and so rudely talked about even before I had a drink that I put my coat back on and left. Not a place I would recommend to even the most hardened local.

Carpenters Arms Pammie Harpenden The Best Pub
When you walk into this pub you are so welcomed it is wonderful. The couple that own it are the most gracious and funny couple you will ever meet. They are sincere and funny. The food is to die for and the locals love them to bits

Fox Brian Harpenden Classy look with poor quality food
This place looks great. Some really great designers have made a great effort. Unfortunately this cannot be said about the food or standard of service. One of the worst meals I have had (making MacDonalds look tempting) followed by a waiteer telling me that steaks and such like are luck of the draw for quality.

Dolphin Keith Harpenden Horrendous
Quite simply, one of the worst pubs in Hertfordshire. Deafening music, screaming barmaids, hostile clientele, no visible management of any kind.

Woodman Inn Dave Hatfield Mediocre in All Respects
A pub with a carvery restaraunt attached this place succeeds in consistently disappointing. The food is expensive and insufficient, the beer seems of secondary importance when compared to the diners, and suffers as a result. Mediocre style triumphs over even more mediocre substance. Disappointing.
Friday, October 7, 2005	Rating: rosettes

Woodman Dave Hatfield One of the Finest Pubs in 100 miles
No music, no fruit machines, no wide screen TV, no tatoos, no oiks. Just first class real ales kept near perfectly ALL of the time. This pub is a real drinkers paradise and well worth a trip. A rare 5 rosettes from me.

Harpenden Arms Dave Harpenden All the Failings of a High Street Boozer
In prime position the Harpenden Arms suffers from knowing that punters are going to walk in, so it fails to go out of its way to look after them or the beer. I can think of half a dozen pubs in Harpenden that make this look like toy town.
Friday, October 7, 2005	Rating: rosettes

Gibraltar Castle Inn Dave Harpenden One of the Best
Great food, lovely building, good beer make this one of the nicest pubs in the Harpenden area. This is a proper pub that successfully combines its food and wet trade to make an all round good boozer.

Engineer Dave Harpenden One of the Best - But Get the Beer Right
An really nice pub with a first class range of either pub grub in the bar or more upmarket fare in the conservatory restaraunt. Surroundings are comfortable, staff are friendly, if only the beer was consistently good.

Silver Cup Dave Harpenden Betty's Hotpot Anyone?
A super little local pub that has a very traditional, well priced menu at lunchtimes. Two bars allows the pub to cater for all types of clientelle. A real trip down memory lane for punters who like a boozer to be unspoiled by clever marketing men. This place is timeless.

Cock chris Baldock Unfriendly staff, thumbs down
9.30 on a quiet evening; a group of friends meeting up for an evening out; made very welcome by the bar staff asking us to drink up and leave if we weren't intending to buy more drinks... if you're in the area go to the pubs in Weston instead - cricketers or red lion - both are far more friendly...

Fish & Eels Michael Hoddesdon Bad beer, dirty and poor service
After waiting nearly 15 minutes to be served by a surly barman, rejecting my pint of bass as it smelt bad and was cloudy, I tried their Adnams, usually an excellent beer. Sadly this tasted as if it had been watered down. The bar work area was dirty, covered in slops and the barman was rude. All staff seemed to be overworked and stressed = unhelpful. Don't bother, even the location doesn't make up for this. We won't be going again for a long time.

Anchor penny Hemel Hempstead wouldn't bother!
visited early on Saturday evening only 1 member of staff working who had 2 speeds SLOW and STOP Waiting 25 minutes to get served is not my idea of a fun Saturday.Huge potential for a beer garden wasted by too few tables and kids playing football at 9.30 at night after being hit on the head it was time to go

Bull A.Peterson Broxbourne Best Pub in area by a long shot!
This large, 2 bar pub has an excellent atmoshphere within, serving people of all ages, from families to youngsters looking to have a good time. With extermely friendly bar staff, great beers and real ales, an outstanding food menu and a large beer garden which is second to none in the summer, this pub truly deserves all the credit it gets, and for its notoriety within the area

Fish & Eels rob celotto Hoddesdon horrific day out
I would strongly suggest avoiding this establishment. The staff lack tact and enthusiasm, the manager was brutally obnoxious. I cannot comment on the food as it never turned up, even following an hour and three quarter wait. When I told the manager that we would just like our money back and be able to dine somewhere else, he asked, Why?. Frankly so disgraceful I found it almost laughable.
