Pub with restaurant in Rickmansworth

“We were served by Tony and he was great. Really attentive, engaging but without over doing it. Great guy! And the food was amazing as always.”

“Excellent quality of steaks we were three of us and I ordered the Rib Eye which was like butter. All accompaniment dishes like the stem broccoli with French beans and Mac and cheese with a Caesar salad went down very well.Also the house red wine was superb choice. Would definitely come again as the manager was very approachable and a pleasantly joking gentleman.”

“What a Gem of a place. Seemingly, in the middle of nowhere. Arrived by taxi from Uxbridge, booked a table prior to a evening's entertainment cabaret show at the local Memorial hall, "When we are Married". The Black Horse, is warm and inviting, we stopped though not long enough to get a drink as Franco the host ushered us through to the restaurant and upgraded our table seeing that we were quite burly lads. We took a prime table with surround views of the entire establishment. Was warm and cosy with the din of family and friends in full conversation and laughter. For aperitif we had a Negroni and my brother had a Aperol spritz and a bottle of white wine with the mains. I had a Slow cooked Pork belly with Savoy cabbage and dauphinoise and an additional dauphinoise, an absolutely and fabulous meal the entire meal was delightful. Will cherish the fabulous moments and foodie memories (yum-yum). Staff were very accommodating and Chef was as pretty as her food delicious. I wanted to stay, though sadly had to go.”

“Nice cozy ambience, lovely staff and amazing pub grub. Fish and Chips and Stilton Burger were both a clear 9/10. Highly recommended.”

“Having just finished a 10 mile walk, i was famished. This place was a gem i found by accident. My friend and i asked if they had a table as the place was rammed. The very efficient lady in charge was able to squeeze us in if we promised to be done in an hour as the table was reserved. Food looked gorgeous but i just opted for a snack which was dirty fries with beef and cheese”

“Went here last night with 3 friends for food and drinks. First time I had been there - great atmosphere and super food! Have already booked again !! Looking forward to going to one of the music nights there too.”

“Great pub for a Sunday roast and these guys where nice enough to let us totally customise our burgers. Nice atmosphere and great service.”

“Owner always greet you and friendly, quiet enviroment during day and busy at night. Thai food served here as Joy of Thai restaurant. Good Thai foods and reasonably cheap with portion you can share if you are not that hungry. Lunch served at noon at bar area and evening at top floor separated with bar which busy every evening. During COVID the area set a giant tippy in the garden.”

“First time here and we were really impressed. A great menu with some unusual options and a lot of variety. The portion sizes were very generous and everything we ordered tasted great. They also had Mogo which you usually only find in authentic Indian cuisine.”

“on holiday walked in and was greeted like i was a local by everyone in the pub. the table service was excellent and polite and the food was the best ive hade the hole holiday would definitely recommend and come again.”

“Delicious dirty burger has it all...loaded with bacon, Stilton, mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce, gherkin, onion rings, hunk of juicy meat, freshly made slaw and fat chips. Great service and beers! This place was a wonderful find, to sit in the autumnal sun.”

“Lovely walk followed by lunch at this pub - very good value and very large servings.”

“I've been coming to The Cricketers for years. It remains one of my favourite pubs to visit. Great atmosphere, great food, and great folks making it all come together. Just celebrated a birthday there and couldn't be happier at the lovely experience of being in the pub.”

“This was surprisingly a great little chill spot with good tasting food. I was expecting bland bar food, but got very tasty meal, the cheese burger was really juicy and tasted like it was made fresh and not from frozen patties. Drinks service was a bit slow because the place was crowded but this comes with Friday nights I guess.”

“Delicious food, clean and cosy environment and the most wonderful, friendly and accommodating staff I have come across in an incredibly long time. They couldn't have been more lovely. Thank you so much from us all, including Buffy the Floof”

“Just had the steak and ale pie with seasonal vegetables. The vegetables were French beans.carrots and red cabbage which was the best I’ve had for very long time. I would visit again. My apologies I didn’t take any images, was to engrossed in eating the meal.”

“Security super friendly. Always greet us with a smile and never any issues. The staff inside are also cool and drinks are fairly priced. I enjoy coming here every other week.”

“Nice friendly staff, lovely beer garden and good thai food. Perfect ambience eating surrounded by the sound of bird song and water”

“We called in for a drink, half way through our walk. What a great welcome from the barmaid. Happy and cheery. A very welcoming pub, fab atmosphere.”

“We booked the Coach & Horses for a wake after my mum's funeral. The staff were very friendly, well organised and helpful and served drinks on our arrival really efficently. The buffet for 40 people was delicious and plentiful. We could not have asked for a better experience to make a difficult day memorable. Thanks to the whole team.”

“Totally delicious lunch! Restaurant was very busy with festive groups but this did not impact on the service provided. Lovely staff who were attentive, friendly and professional. We ate from the festive menu and the food was excellent. My friend said it was the best pork belly she had ever had in a restaurant and my turkey was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.”

“This is an absolutely fantastic pub for Sunday dinner. The meal was very well prepared and the staff were friendly and answered all of our food allergy questions. I had a traditional Sunday roast which included all the relevant trimmings. The draft beer was also excellent. I would most certainly come back again. This restaurant accepts tips when paying by card.”

“Really enjoyed my time here! Came in for a quick drink and a meal while visiting the area! Food was tasty, drinks had a familiar selection and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend.”

“Max was solid nye, brought some paper towels after we spilt drinks ,what a guy”

“The Gate is a really good place to visit. We had dinner they on a Saturday night. We had booked in advance, so a table has been reserved for us. The menu is really good, with a really good variety to choose from, including a separate vegan/vegetarian menu. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the menu gives really good variety for money, including the drinks menu. We started with the vegetarian chili nachos which were delicious and made a really nice change from the traditional meat version. We will definitely go back again.”

“Good restaurant with very kind waiters. Food was cooked properly to my liking and was tasty. We also had a cocktail which was mixed well and decorated nicely. Good experience with reasonable prices, would recommend.”
