The 30 Best Lunch options in Rickmansworth

“Went Sunday night and it was quiet inside but the food did not disappoint at all. This will now become my goto Turkish even though I live close to yaprak in eastcote I think this is worth the 20 minute drive for the better food. Price is similar. I thought the seasoning and quality of the meat was better. Next time I am bringing my kids to see what they think but I think they will agree”

“Lovely place. This is is the perfect family restaurant, great vibe and wonderful food.”

“This guy is an absolute legend! My family and I ordered from his place back when he had a shop in Uxbridge, when we lived there. I was absolutely elated to find he's now here in Croxley, where we are too. The best kebabs we've ever had!”

“Tried the jerk chicken with rice and peas with mac and cheese and plantain and it was very flavourful and delicious. Portion sizes are generous, would recommend for a lunch or dinner! Staff were super friendly too.”

“The food here was amazing from start to finish, and the service was excellent. Some of the finest Italian food i have ever had. The spaghetti bolognese was perfect, not tart or acidic. Excellent meal, would very highly recommend. We ate there twice in one week.”

“Excellent food really helpful staff great value for money”

“Super cute cafe by the river! Owner had a fun personality and coffee and bacon sandwich were delicious. Enjoyed our experience there!”

“We love Cafe on the Common- the food, service and atmosphere are all fabulous. I dream of the whipped feta, it’s that good! And we all love the cakes too. Eating here also supports a wonderful community initiative- training young adults with learning differences, so its win, win! 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”

“Good quality fish with well balanced curry sauce to accompany. Chips were standard. Was delivery but decent all in, not cheap thou when you factor in delivery fee despite only being 7km from me”

“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!”

“Everyone knows that this is the best chip shop in the area! Owners are lovely and the food is delicious and a very good price. The only bad point is that it is cash only. But I guess that helps to keep the price down. 10/10”

“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”

“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!”

“Fantastic restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and it really added to the overall experience. The food was absolutely amazing – full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared. A standout dish for me was the Pad Khing; the balance of ginger, spices, and freshness made it unforgettable. Every bite was delicious, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking. I would happily recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be returning soon.”

“Been coming here semi-regularly for years now, not had a single issue. I'm rather fussy so not finding any major problems is remarkable. Not the largest selection of food but everything available is 10/10 (especially the wings oh my god how are they this good).”

“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.”

“I've been living in Watford for 12 years and this is the first time I've tried this place. All I can say is, it's outstanding, not just for this area but it's one of the best Fish & Chips I've ever had. The batter was perfect (so many places get this wrong), as was the fish and the portions are HUGE. My son had one of the equally massive sausages wrapped in bacon, again, very good indeed. Service was nice and friendly and we didn't wait long for a freshly cooked takeaway. I wish I had found this 'plaice' a long time ago. (Banana in the photo for scale)”

“Lovely little cafe. Lovely staff, good food, good portions and reasonably priced. There is plenty to choose from.”

“Proper café - good varied menu from full English to avocado and some Mediterranean food - staff fantastic specially the girl that served us very friendly and efficient This is what cafés should look like.”

“We had a large family gathering planned, and the staff here couldn't have been more helpful, from helping us decide what menu items to have, arranging a set price per head, attentive service and plenty of delicious food. We had a lovely afternoon, thank you so much to the staff. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

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

“Nice Harvester with plenty of space for a wheelchair. Good food at affordable prices. The disabled access toilet was a little on the chilly side for mum but she survived. Our host Tanya was charming and accommodating. Will come again.”

“Best coffee and atmosphere is great. Lovely staff.”

“Delicious freshly cooked burgers. Onion rings huge and yummy.”
