Pub bars in Watford

“We spent a Friday evening here starting with axe throwing before going onto pool and then shuffle board. All of the staff were really friendly but one person in particular stood out - James. He is exceptional and helped ensure we had a really good time. He brings a lot of energy to the role and nothing was too much trouble. I think James in particular deserves some company recognition as he's an asset to the team. Great night and I highly recommend.”

“I was there with my cousins in law who live in Watford and the staff has been nice to everyone with special fresh food. Will be back again one day”

“Visited today for my mums birthday - we booked last minute after a change of plans. We had 3 courses and every single one was delicious. Highly recommend the Sunday roast and the sticky toffee! The service was great - special thanks to the two young guys (I didn’t catch their names but a really young lad and the barman with plaits) for looking after us. We will be back!”

“Fantastic establishment. Truly unique cafe experience.”

“Check-in was quick and easy, but the real highlight for us was the pub. Kajal looked after us and she was honestly brilliant! Really friendly, easy to chat to, and just made us feel comfortable straight away. She kept checking in on us at the right times, made some great suggestions, and you could tell she genuinely cared that we were having a good time. It gave the whole evening such a nice vibe. Thanks to Kajal we had a really chilled, enjoyable night. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Called in for breakfast today and was met by lovely friendly staff. Seated in a booth with my friends and the place looked clean and comfortable. Only 2 waitresses on so a slight delay but it didn’t detract from the experience. I enjoyed my Cote breakfast and the produce was quality and very tasty. Beautiful poached eggs. Excellent service throughout and I would recommend Cote Brassiere.”

“Excellent party venue. Ryan and his staff are definitely on the ball and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely worth 5 stars and I would highly recommend to anyone.”

“I didn't use Chat gpt to write this, unlike some people! The food is great, couldn’t fault it so it’s a 9.5 out 10 from me. Staff are brilliant too. We will be coming back.”

“My partner and I recently held our engagement party at the 143 Bar. I would absolutely recommend renting the bar out, it was a brilliant space for our friends and family. Thank you Martin and the team for a fab night!”

“Service was the best I’ve had. Very quick, always keeping an eye on our drinks throughout the brunch. Can’t fault them at all, food was tasty too, would highly recommend. The only thing they’re missing is entertainment.”

“Had a fantastic experience at o’neill’s watford! Alicia was so kinds and was so accomodating when we wanted to move to a larger table that was covered with another groups food. She worked quickly to get it clear, and made sure we were well looked after! what a lovely lady, thank you for your service!! Regan was also super lovely and turned down the music for us when we were right next to the speakers! what a lovely place, with fabulous staff. :))”

“came here to see the ucl final and it was super busy!! thought I wasn't going to find a seat but the server Harry managed to find us a table spare and we had a great time! Will be back for the season. Food was also nice, had some wings which were tasty.”

“Loved this restaurant. Live music, magicians and amazing service. The cocktails were del ious and the food was tasty. I would go again.”

“Can’t recommend this place enough! It’s minutes away from the train station, rooms are spacious, there’s air con, comfortable bed, good breakfast times, quiet and I left an item behind in the room and they were absolute stars in getting it back to me. Such friendly helpful staff, had a great stay and then helping me afterwards was just the cherry on top!”

“Great Portuguese Bar & Restaurant. Family environment and the food are amazing, far from home, but feel like home to me. Recommended”

“Sure! Here's a more natural and polished version of your comments: --- This is a lovely spot for lunch, with a beautifully floral interior that makes it perfect for a date or taking photos with friends and family. The service fee is optional if you're in a group of fewer than seven people. The food is excellent — the Asian Pork Belly Bites are my absolute favorite: sweet, crispy, and tender without being dry. The Cumberland sausage also makes a solid choice for a main course. Prices are reasonable, around \$30 per person without dessert. Overall, I definitely recommend this place. Just keep in mind that there aren't many servers, so things might be a bit slow — patience helps!”

“Our family booked The Hammer In Hand for a wake yesterday. Staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Prices were extremely reasonable and the food served was fresh with a great variety of rolls. The whole day was made so much easier with the great service we received from everyone there. Thank you. I could not recommend this place highly enough.”

“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.”

“Went to visit a friend for his birthday and felt very welcomed at the bar. The staff are all very easy to talk to and the drinks were fairly priced. I would definitely recommend if your looking for a drink with friendly and interesting people.”

“Had a nice meal here. Staff welcoming and service was good. Bit quiet on the evening we went, but the food was lovely.”

“Its a great hotel. I visted back in December and I loved it! The best part though is that it is close to Harry Potter Studios!”

“We booked a cocktail masterclass at steinbeck and shaw for our hen party, such an amazing time with Scott and Michael. They made the whole experience fun and enjoyable! I will be recommending this to all of our friends in the future. Thank you for hosting us!!”

“Finally popped in to Papajis ! Loved the food and brilliant service! The paneer poppers are a must! Definitely be back soon”

“Our wonderful local bar. 100% recommended. Happy hours Monday and Tuesday. Cheese board free with a bottle of wine to drink in on Wednesday.”

“Great vibe in place well decorated and service staff very good and helpful. As for the food 10/10. We drove from ipswich to meet some london family half way and it was a very nice afternoon in restaurant.”

“Excellent micropub close to Watford’s Vicarage Lane football stadium. Four varied real ales served in great condition”

“Great food, vegetarian options, fresh orange juice and amazing price.”

“Best Sunday roast in Watford. We came around 4 pm few times and the service and the owner is always very nice. Best book in advance for Sunday Roast as it sells out very quickly. This pub won Watford Observer Award 2023.”

“Great outdoor area. Food area in garden where different companies come in. Good drinks and fast service even when packed”
