Top 30 Best Classic cocktails in Watford

“Love it here, delicious food, friendly staff, great decor.”

“Came here by mistake. They did not have the finest wines known to humanity BUT we could order 2 large whiskeys and 2 pairs of pints. They have a juke box in here and no one tried to murder the pair of us (actually their quite friendly).”

“Great pub. There are few pubs in Watford now that aren't soulless chains and even fewer than will make you feel at home when you're there; the Golden Lion is a decent, friendly pub that is worth spending an evening in. Support your local!”

“Local Portugues with the authenticity and warmth of a typical bar serving drinks and food in Portugal. Welcoming and good value.”

“Really lovely restaurant. The staff were very entertaining and friendly. Great energy and lovely food. The decor is fab with an outside area at the back. It was a nice hidden treasure we stumbled across!”

“Many thanks to all the staff at the The Partridge for the fantastic spread you put on for our funeral reception yesterday. Great hospitality from the brilliant barmaid and Theresa who prepared the food Thanks from all of us”

“I'm absolutely speechless, the food that was given to me was delicious. I ordered chicken lollipop, biryani , lamp chops and some curry, and all I can say is that it's pretty amazing you'll definitely expect another visit from me.”

“Nice big wetherspoons which is due to close soon apparently. Haven't been here for about 20 years and I must say, things have improved a great deal- thank goodness. The staff were polite and friendly- I think everyone I saw was smiling. There was a good crowd in but the service did not suffer. My wrap and chips for lunch were lovely and the Guinness was excellent. I'm sure this pub will be missed”

“Jaime was lovely. Esme was very attentive and Conrad was very helpful. Have been there many times in the last year and they make this place tick.”

“I haven’t been to the Tudor for about 10 to 15 years not how I remember it at all very light and airy, spacious and welcoming. The prices are reasonable for drink and food. Had a lovely Katsu, curry and fries.”

“My experience of the Noke hotel is limited to attending a Wake there so I can only speak to what I found on that occasion. The building is well maintained outside, white and immaculate. The car parking is good and the parking area is also maintained well. Inside the hotel is clean, warm and very comfortable. The staff were polite and efficient. Our party had a pleasant room provided for our exclusive use. The buffet lunch was excellent; everything was beautifully fresh and appetising. The sandwiches and snacks were nicely presented, imaginative and catered for both meat eaters and vegetarians. There were plenty of signs to help you navigate from place to place. I really have no fault to find.”

“The Watford and Surrounding area bereavement support group use this location for a meetup at 11.00 on the last Sunday of the month. We have found this to be the perfect place to have a coffee and a chat with others going through the same life-changing challenges we all face when losing a loved one. The staff here are very friendly and always make us feel welcome.”

“Whenever you're in London, you have to come here! Even if it's some distance to travel, it's worth the trip! Excellent food and service!”

“I came by myself to try and visit the place. As I entered, it was quiet, and there's two staff standing behind the bar. They acknowledged me by looking without verbally greeting me. I enjoyed my starters, which is soup of the day and prawn cocktail. I decided to have it in the bar, although it's the same menu in the restaurant. Soup is perfect, and the prawn cocktail is fresh and has a good presentation. I had my main course, which is sirloin medium rare.I created the sides, my way of eating healthy. Although, I noticed that they did not rest the meat that I ordered before plating it because there's blood on the plate.The service is average on the floor. No food checks, minutes after they served the food. They just come to collect the empty plates when you finish. Ordering food is by the bar, and you have to let them know the table number where you sit. I would suggest tasting the red wine you ordered before taking it to the table, as mine tasted like vinegar. Perhaps the bottle has opened for days. I guess they have to label the date they opened the bottle to let them know how long it's been displayed in the bar. The supervisor offered to replace my glass with another, which I enjoyed with my sirloin. I noticed that they were chatting with their guest by the bar and staying there without checking the floor, and as I said, they would come out on the floor when the customer finished their meal. The first thing I noticed when I sat on the table was their menus. It's sticky to the touch. Just imagine how many customers touched it, and their salt and pepper are not filled and dirty. I have to get it from another table. I also noticed that my side of the seat on table 40 is dirty. However, I noticed that they sanitised and wiped their table after use. The place is nice and cosy, and the music is just the right volume for a quiet shift. The place is very promising if only they have attention to details. The staff have the right attitude and will really please you. They have menu knowledge and can recommend something that's suitable for me and the things I requested.However, they just need to do some checks on customer satisfaction. I did not order my dessert because I am quite full. I just went to the bar and ordered cappuccino, but their coffee machine is already cleaned and switched off. I been offered a complimentary instant coffee instead.”

“Really nice and helpful staff , great drinks /reasonably priced too.”

“New cafe / restaurant on Watford high street and possibly one of my new favourites… they have a massive vegan menu and the food and service was incredible. The decor was also lovely so a 10/10 overall.”
