Cafe in Rickmansworth

“We popped in as a friend is staying locally. The pub isn’t much to look at from the outside but the food and service was excellent. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and accommodate our needs. Attentive and fast service. Really friendly. The food was excellent. We had the special mixed grill and it was brilliant. Beautifully seasoned and cooked. Highly recommend!”

“One of the friendliest and cleanest Wimpy restaurants that I have visited. The staff were friendly, attentive and engaging. The food, as always, was well cooked and nicely portioned. The menu still has all of the classics with some newer options available. I recently visited again and, if anything, it was better. Same friendly staff, cleanliness top-notch and tasty food. The Big n Mighty and the Brown Derby are an absolute must”

“Great food good prices. Dog friendly and cosy. The new kiwi burger is delicious! Bentley likes the look of it too! XMAS burger is very good!”

“Been meaning to leave a review for a very long time, however managed to forget..probably due to the fantastic friendly service we always receive from the team. We are always welcomed with open arms and the team bend over backwards to accommodate us. I must shout out the whole team… they’re all amazing… however, Becks has served us since we first started coming here, since moving in locally, before Jason the Head Chef joined, she was the main reason for our return. Jason joined, the food has been out of this world… I would recommend the roasts - they’re delicious! The beef is served pink and the vegetables are cooked perfectly and well seasoned. It’s always a pleasure coming to visit The Black Horse and we cannot recommend it enough. Final shout out to Becks, Jason… our favourites… and of course Harry, Layla, Ben, Jess, Jack and Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Really lovely place with so much character. An amazing Sunday roast dinner was had. The meat was succulent, tender and full of flavour. The veg was cooked to perfection. Super tasty Yorkshire puds and gravy. We shared a super serving of cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets. Sat next to a roaring fire. Bliss. Highly recommend this place 100%.”

“A great pub in lovely country surroundings. They had indoor and outdoor seating. They came to our table to take our order, but also had an app. The staff are really friendly, it’s clean and roomy. For hiking, it was wonderful to have this pub on route. I would definitely recommend coming here.”

“This is a favourite local or ours and even though they were super busy today, the service is always 5* and nothing is too much for them. Service with a smile - always. This place also does the best coffees. Thank you again”

“A hidden gem! Had a lovely visit over the weekend, friendly staff, lots of places to sit and have some food or rest by the lake. Honestly it's more of a zoo than a farm with lots of exotic animals. Just to note there is no parking directly on the farm premises unless you hold a blue badge but not really an issue plenty of spaces on roads or if you are lucky within cassiobury park car park.”

“One of my most favourite pubs in the area. Love the Thai food. The staff are always polite, courteous and very helpful. I have been with friends and also with my kids and the experience was great in all occasions. The atmosphere is great, and even the patrons are nice and friendly. The place is also always spotless. Definitely recommend!”

“A very unique pub. Perfect for those who don't like child friendly gastropubs. Dogs are more welcome than people!! Proper pub, no food...”

“Best pub in Croxley. Best beer, friendliest staff and all the locals go here. Never a problem getting served no matter how busy it is. Yes some of the locals do sit at the bar but that is a good thing surely! Always enough staff on. Very popular with regulars and local clubs who choose this for their functions & get togethers. Can't go wrong.”

“Lovely staff and friendly owner, very nice food and I’ve travelled 5-6 miles to come here for breakfast because they make a fantastic eggs royal, as the pictures show.”

“Monday lunch for our small walking group. A lovely welcome from managers Alice and Zoe, and a nice comfortable atmosphere with open fire. The Cock Inn is now under new management and working hard to revive this lovely old pub. Monday/Tuesday lunch menu is not extensive, but excellent quality and “just right” in portion size. Great work all! Keep it up!”

“This place is a hidden gem! A small local and friendly pub with bug beer garden, but a hidden thai restaurant upstairs! The food was delicious and genuine thai, had a chance to meet the chef and she was a pleasure to talk to. We had to take takeaway after we finished dinner, which almost never happens to me. The staff was very friendly, we were served quickly and in general it was a lovely evening. Next time I am in the area, will have to stop for a meal!”

“Was recommended to come here for dinner, and I’m so glad I did. From start to finish, was such an experience. Met with a professional team, that care about their work, clearly trained to a high standard. Food allergies and care were taken very seriously, on top of there being many options should you have allergies. Amazing food to top it off. Highly recommend to you all. We traveled 45minutes and will definitely make that travel again.”

“We held a wake at the pub before it opened at 3.00pm. It was an excellent venue with first class food and service. Arun made sure our requirements were met for the day in question and nothing was too much trouble. Once the pub opened we had a large quiet area reserved for us to one side of the pub for those that needed to stay longer. Well recommended for any private gathering or event.”

“I recently visited this restaurant with my kids, and we had a wonderful experience! There were about 23 of us in our group, and despite the size, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly. The food was fantastic—delicious, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. There was a great variety on the menu, catering to all tastes, and everyone in our group found something they loved. The atmosphere was also a highlight. The large outdoor kids' play area kept the little ones entertained, which made our dining experience much more relaxed. Plus, the Christmas market at the front added a festive touch, creating a charming vibe. All in all, it was a fantastic visit—highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming environment!”

“Had a lovely lunch catch up with friend. Food was good. Not busy. We stayed on chatting undisturbed.”

“We organised a 60th birthday party in the hall for approx 100 people and had a great time. The bar staff were great and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks!”

“Our go to stop off on the long journey to Heathrow airport. Varied menu with tasty specials at a decent price. Great quality food served by lovely staff. Booking advisable as it’s always busy.”

“First visit to Fox and Hounds, Croxley for Sunday lunch and we were well impressed with quality and value for money..under €10 a head for a full Sunday roast!! Sue, the landlady was attentive and friendly , drinks were also cheap and we will definitely go again.”

“First time visit. Very cosy pub. We ordered two starters each for four people, along with mini dessert, including hot drinks. Food very tasty. Staff were polite and accommodating towards our needs and had a chuckle at our order. It's quite different for me but enjoyable. There are plenty of car parking spaces. Would definitely go again and recommend a visit.”

“My great grandfather Peter Grune and his family lived in this pub. He owned several pubs but this one in particular was a favourite. I am now in my 90s! It looks like the old pubs used to be but without straw on the floor!”

“From the atmosphere, to the service and staff everything was nothing short of amazing. All the food was absolutelly amazing but the Korean fried chicken burger was the star of the show. The burger was an explosion of flavors and textures. The crispy chicken was coated in a sweet and spicy sauce topped with crunchy slaw and creamy mayo, it was one of the best burgers I had in years. Compliments to everyone. I will definitely be back.”

“Christmas chicken schnitzel was great the gravy a little salty. Atmosphere is cosy and warm.”

“Booked a private karaoke room at Sync bar for my daughters birthday party. They all had a great time and were looked after very well by the friendly team. Nice food and drinks. Warm and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Well stocked bar for the grown ups too. Recommended.”

“Always get a great service when I visit this Costa, the staff are always kind and the food and coffee is always good and quick, what more can you ask for!”

“Visit lots of costa …..including my awful one in amersham ..,l travel here to Rickmansworth as staff are so wonderful ..service amazing .,treat you not as a number Love coming here Please let your staff know how wonderful they are at Rickmansworth”

“I travel from Luton for the best Indian food around. Great genuinely Indian food with a nice garden and weather permitting. The owner Sanjay is a bonus providing service with a smile and a recommends amazing dishes. The one Churi with ice cream is a great way to finish off. Best selection of Malt whiskys too.”

“We love this place. A group of us come here for a Christmas do each year and for odd visits throughout the year and the food and service are never less than excellent. Everyone’s really friendly and the beer’s great too! Thank you.”
