Top 30 Best Local culture experiences in Watford

“A nice local theatre. Saw The Merchant of Venice 1936 bringing Shakespeare's play to the troubled streets of the east end facing off Oswald Moseley. An excellent cast including Tracey Ann Oberman.”

“Thanks to Jane Kirk and the team at Watford Colosseum for the use of their wonderful facilities in The Forum, where we held our A Little Bit Of Google Goes A Long Way workshop last week. The Forum was perfect for our needs, with a great technical team on hand for any problems. Nothing was too much trouble and the coffee was really good! A great venue to hire out for workshops and conferences, thoroughly recommend. Many thanks from Team Mustard”

“Always such good night!! Huge thank you to the manager Kat for her amazing service, quick resolutions and great attitude. Theres a reason why I return again and again :)”

“I’ve been looking for this everywhere I’m happy to finally find it fantastic friendly store”

“Have been learning here with Sifu Chris since July. Wing Tjun is helping me to become a healthier person along with much improving my self defence :) Would very much recommend!”

“Ordered from here for a party and the pizzas were really delicious and great quality. They were ready for collection when I asked and were piping hot. My guests enjoyed the pizzas and asked where they were from as they tasted really yummy. Will order again to try out more of the menu in the future.”

“I've used Rickshaw Travels a number of times. They are my go to travel company for my annual holidays because they are professional, attentive and always deliver. My family and I really enjoy the personal service and Bhavin tailors the holidays based on our requirements. We recently used Rickshaw Travels when I was looking to book a holiday in the Maldives and Dubai. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and we needed separate bookings for other family members who would be meeting us and surprising my wife in Dubai. The logistics were a potential nightmare for me with different requests regarding flight times and durations etc. Bhavin and the team and Rickshaw Travels made the whole process seamless. They spoke directly with the family members and logically assembled a plan that would work for us all. Bhavin secured a lovely resort in the Maldives that was child friendly for a cheaper price than I could find anywhere myself on the internet. The flights and connections including the sea plane were booked with minimal stopover time and he kindly reserved the basset seats at the front of the plane for our baby too. The family arrived in Dubai a few hours earlier than we did and were waiting in the lobby to suprise my wife. It was a fantastic holiday and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of Rickshaw Travels. I cannot recommend Rickshaw Travels highly enough. We have used them for years and will continue to do so because it takes the stress out of holiday bookings so we can focus on looking forward to enjoying our time there. Thank you Bhavin and all the team at Rickshaw Travels for always looking after us and we look forward to booking our vacations for next year with you soon.”

“They have helped me many times with my travels with my family. Really happy with their service.”

“My partner and I went to the store today and had an amazing experience! After having on and off plantar fasciitis, Alan was extremely helpful in giving his advise and recommendations in shoes. I was also grateful for his patience, as my partner and I asked hundreds of questions and Alan gave us extensive information.”

“Brilliant atmosphere, clean and welcoming. Excellent service, very friendly staff. The food was beautifully cooked to perfection. We ordered a platter for two and enjoyed everything in it, the portion size was very generous. The food was absolutely delicious....will definitely be returning, I recommend Mekan to all.”

“This place is a hidden gem , the coffee is to die for . The staff service is amazing they are really welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place . Amazing location.”

“Hearty Italian food and very hospitable waiters. Food was impeccable upon every bite! Waiting times for food wasn’t prolonged. Book early to avoid waiting for a table is my only advice especially on weekends”

“This cafe must be tried, little out of town. Best to walk or use public transport as there's no parking. But you won't be disappointed. Food/ Coffee,beers and you won't believe the price's.Welcoming and cultural. Hats off to them.”

“Great park in the heart of North Watford. When I first visited North Watford, I arrived earlier than scheduled so I decided to sit in the park for an hour. I saw groups of people playing cricket, running, walking dogs, people playing football, and people playing basketball. The area has many shaded areas perfect for the summer, as well as lots of open space. There are dedicated spaces for all the above mentioned sports, as well as ping pong! The children's gated play area has a very large variety of structures for kids to play on and would suit children aged 1-10. The locals here are all very friendly, and the facilities are great. 5 stars.”

“Absolutely amazing dishes, hot food served hot and no delays. Prompt service and kind and helpful waiters. Beautiful decor and atmosphere. Highly recommended place for a great night out with friends or for celebrations”

“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).”

“Cheap beer friendly staff great night hope to visit again soon”

Genkoostu-age is what the first photo is. deep fried chicken joint marinated in japanese style. you have to get that! bento box is fantastic! best of all is the service. you have to find Derek! he is the best man there recommending best stuff. his smile will make your day.”

“Got a cappuccino for take away on a absolutely freezing old morning and it was really warming and tasty. Kept my hands warm too. Service was fast as they weren’t very busy as it was very early morning. Staff were smiling and friendly, nice and talkative as well which makes you feel a bit more comfortable Cappuccino tasted very nice and smooth. The standard Costa coffee taste that I’ve come to know and love. Will be returning again.”

“Delicious coffee is prepared here. The establishment is small, so there are not always free tables.”

“A multifunctional space that's been used to great effect for the learning and development of children and peoole of all ages.”

“Loved the doner quesadilla. Also impressed with the doner nachos. The doner quesadilla has combination of crunchy lettuce, jalapeno and some amazing meat. The thin juicy slices of meat coupled with some very tasty sauces made it delicious Also try the Nacho + cheese + lettuce and finally MEAT. A good portion and fairly priced. It's family friendly, open till late and has amazing helpful staff. Definitely going there again.”
