The 30 Best Quick lunch in Watford

“Cafe run by charity Mencap - fantastic initiative to give people with learning disabilities the chance to learn skills in catering, customer services and hospitality. I have never eaten there but just had a quick coffee / kids snacks - it doesn't feel that warm and cosy to me, so I've never been tempted to linger too long. My suggestion would be to remove the PCs and introduce some sofas and perhaps some toys or games. Not sure how feasible that would be!”

“We went on a Friday night for our Anniversary, the weather had been great but we sat inside and it was nice and cool. There was a DJ playing old skool RnB which was a nice touch. The staff were super friendly and we met the owner, who was really lovely and very passionate about the food. The croquette were amazing and very authentic, we also had tacos to start which were delicious. The tiramisu ( which I’m always a big fan of as a dessert) came with a Japanese twist but was inspired and also really delicious. A great spot and well worth checking out for an intimate meal, big party or even a family dinner.”

“Got some food on the way home for the first time tonight and it has to be the best piri piri chicken we have ever had. The meals were all 10/10, fresh and tender chicken strips, wings and burger. Portions are huge and great value for money just wish we lived closer to this place!”

“Amazing street food menu - £20 for 5 small plates of street food. Menu changes and is inspired by places in India. Food is incredible. The rum old fashioned was delicious! Will be coming back :) staff are also friendly and welcoming.”

“Always wanted to try here an one day i convinced the kids to try it an we never looked back. its so lovely fresh food its delicious. Love the decor of the place nice an relax we always sit in there to eat lovely seating area. The kids love the wraps an the string rolls i love there spicy noodle there so fresh so tasty you can see them cook things up in front of you. The staff always so nice the customer service is amazing they always go above an beyond. This is my new favourite place.”

“Ashish has always provided excellent service, great quality coffee, and with a friendly face. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone in Watford junction. Always have a great experience there.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting Burritos Watford recently. The mexican tottilla wrap were absolutely mouthwatering—the Chicken was juicy and packed with flavour, and the combination of toppings was perfect. It's definitely one of the best burritos I’ve had in a while! I also tried the mexican rice, which are something truly special. The way they’ve put it all together is unique and unlike anything I've had before. It's a must-try for anyone looking for something different and tasty! A big shoutout to udaya for her amazing customer service. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her friendly and helpful attitude. It’s not every day you come across someone so dedicated to making sure you have the best dining experience. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5”

“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.”

“It's always busy here during weekends, but I am always lucky to have a corner table not sharing with others. The food is really delicious and the broth is so tasty in the ramen. The hostess is very attentive and very quick on giving us a table. The atmosphere is great. I could see an open kitchen where they dispensed the orders. I also tried their healthy smoothie, although it's good but the glass is too small for the price.”

“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!”

“Food is good as usual, Jaya was amazing, very attentive lady. Their mayo is now plant based? Taste like nothing so I ordered their garlic mayo. Meal saved lol”

“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.”

“The food at YO Sushi in Tesco is really good. Always go to get the Korean chicken bites, Korean bites with salad, and the katsu curry. Averages around £6 a meal which isn’t too bad. Would really recommend trying. If you need anything the staff there are always on hand to assist with and queries”

“Having travelled from leicester, Food here is brilliant! Lovely burger and wings. Marinated to perfection”

“Owner and staff are all friendly, menu is well priced and chips are consistently exquisite! Even my cats try to steal them off my plate! 10/10 I have been a returning customer for over 4 years”

“went in Jan 2022 and was served by a delightful young lady, Anjilee. Food was like eating at your nans whilst she has cataracts. Despite her challenges, Angeli was a great waitress and it’s good to see places giving an opportunity to people like her!”

“Very helpful staff. Our ordered food arrived quickly. Well done.”

“Fantastic food fantastic service. Loved it all”

“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!”

“Genuinely the best Thai I’ve ever had in the UK. And genuinely the closest thing to authentic Thai food from Thailand itself! The Khao Soi and the Penang curries were truly outstanding! Apple (the owner) and the staff were super friendly! Couldn’t recommend highly enough and I’m guaranteed to go back regularly! Thank you for having us!”

“Sweet hidden gem for all you coffee fanatics out there. Had the Kenya batch brew filter which was yum also picked up a bag of Colombia Buenos Aires which is a peach fruit bomb. Do yourself a favor get it before it gone. Bru the owner roast his own beans and he does a fantastic job.”

“Stopped here on the way back to our hotel and chose the pasta dishes. The portion sizes were huge and very well priced. The staff were very friendly and chatty. We even got given a free garlic bread to have with our pasta. Great service!”

“Absolutely fantastic food, really good service and incredibly well priced Definitely will be visiting again soon!”

“I always have a relaxing time at Villiers. This is a cozy and laidback café, with a lot of different treats on offer that cater to a variety of diets. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I was very appreciative that I could choose between a few flourless snacks. I’ve had the flapjack, the cheesecake, and the salted caramel brownie, all of which I enjoyed. Shoutout to the barista Anna, who always ensures that the gluten free goodies I get are handled safely so I can enjoy them without getting a reaction! The coffee is very good, and I can't complain when there's nice latte art. I don’t love that the latte is served in a glass instead of a mug, but that's more of a preference than a comment on the quality. It tastes great regardless! In short: very nice and recommend!”

“Friendly service, great coffee. Every time I am working at Peri Peri Original a few doors down from Jenny’s i always pop in for a latte (half sugar) The guys are mega friendly and so polite. Food is also really tasty and a large menu to choose from. Lovely little family run cafe where it’s always service with a smile. :)”

“Always been too lazy to head to this end of town, which is probably a mistake. Great coffee and nice, unobtrusive music in the background. No food for me but it looks like there were more than few options. Plenty of seating inside and outside. If you’ve no one to chat with then there’s all that vinyl to browse instead!”

“I went to this coffee shop few days ago, and ordered a cappuccino which was damn amazing. The latte art in that coffee was so good that I even took a picture of it. There was this guy named Parin who was a very good guy exceeding excellent hospitality to his customers. I recommend anyone and everyone to visit this coffee shop if you’re craving for fantastic coffee drinks.”

“I had a wonderful brunch experience at The Garden Rooms. Christina, our server, was friendly and efficient, making our visit even more enjoyable. The smashed avocado on sourdough and huevos rancheros were both incredibly tasty and satisfying. The atmosphere was pleasant, with great background music and lovely green decor that added to the ambiance. I highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch outing.”

“No fuss, quick and fantastic! Not oily or greasy, fresh and no fuss! Even the avocado was a good portion. Mushrooms not greasy. Good choice of vegetarian items too.”
