Refreshment in Watford

“I am over the moon with my tattoo- it really is beautiful. The artist is extremely talented, I gave him a vague idea and he came up with a stunning design. The people in the shop are all lovely and the studio is clean and bright. It was my first tattoo, I was very nervous but made to feel at ease. I'm extremely grateful- it couldn't have gone better :)”

“I had my eyebrows done at Elysium beauty using the powder method. I couldn't be more happy with my results, they look amazing!! During my visit I was taken care of very well. Joanna is very professional and the atmosphere in the salon was wonderful. I highly recommend!”

“Had a great over due haircut with Sophie, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed and done a fabulous job. Would highly recommend, thank you!”

“Visit the salon frequently for my lashes. I love them! Jo does an amazing job, she’s also very accommodating for my last minute changes! Lovely salon, always greeted with a warm welcome. Would definitely recommend”

“Highly recommended. Been having my hair coloured with lory for many years. Always a great result.”

“Best barber in the South East. I should clarify to say Max is but Wacky Barber generally is very good. Quick, very skilled and great customer facing service. If you want a great haircut, good service and good price get down there and ask for Max.”

“Good guys. £12 for a no nonsense trim.”

“Best Barbershop in the whole of Hertfordshire the Atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff is top notch you just cannot beat it.”

“I think we just tried the best muffin that we ate lately, really really nice and fresh and coffee brilliant as well. The staff here is really friendly, they served us really quickly and noticed that a lot of people working in the area were coming for breakfast, totally recommend!”

“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.”

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

“I just did my car service with them yesterday. Lovely people and a highly trustworthy team. They send you a video of your car with everything explained. Unlike some other garages, they don’t try to charge you for anything unnecessary or make money. I highly recommend them for any type of work needed for your car. They are professional and know their stuff. Five stars!”

“Very happy with all the services - both me and my daughter - waxing, nails and hair .. Definitely recommended, I have been using Divine for long time now.. Excellent service provided by Sonal with very good price.”

“Since moving to Watford 5 years ago I have been a regular of Sneha's and have never trusted anybody else to do my eyebrows. I was delighted when I found out that she had taken on her own place that was right by my work! Her salon is absolutely beautiful and super clean. I urge anybody who reads the comments below to please ignore them because Sneha is an honest and professional family woman who prides herself on her what she has achieved and let me tell you, having been a client of hers for 5 years, she has achieved so much and she deserves all the success in the world. Notice how the bad review accounts have only ever made one contribution? Pathetic and fake. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I had an amazing experience at Moira’s hair salon this week. It was my first time visiting and I felt very comfortable. The shop is lovely and very clean. I absolutely love my braids, she is very fast, and extremely kind. I will definitely be returning!”

“I recently got a regular pedicure at Gloss Bar, after being recommended it by a man I knew who had been going for some time (he had the Gentleman Mani and Pedi - he loved both of them). The overall service was professional, kind, and efficient. The salon was very clean, and had a minimalist feel to it. My nail tech Rita was friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. I thought the final result was great! Recommended!”

“Zoe booked me in for a last minute appointment, absolutely loved the hair cut! Will go again:)”

“Been coming here for couple of years now, probably once a month sometimes twice a month. I was using them for around 6 months and then I brought my son to them who had never had a hair cut (3 years old) and they done a fantastic job. I’ve used a few different places around Watford but the service is top quality here, hence why I go back. The shop itself could do with a makeover in my honest opinion and I’m sure at some point it will but “you should never judge a book by it’s cover” sometimes the best places look like the worst from the outside but i fact this place is a diamond in the rough. Reasonably priced considering the ever increasing cost of haircuts - I think the end result and the service in general is worth it.”

“After seeing this place was the best reviewed in the area I choose to come here fore a hair cut at 7.30pm on a Saturday and that they closed at 8pm. They still managed to fit me in, great cut. Remember guys they only accept Cash, on this occasion they accepted a bank transfer. Highly recommend, friendly team. Also open Sundays and shut on Monday.”

“Friendly staff, very professional, take their time cutting your hair and actually listen to what you want done unlike some barber's who you tell them one thing they do another! Top service for a very reasonable price 6 stars”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing dining experience at this Thai restaurant! The Prawn Tom Yum Soup was bursting with flavors—spicy, tangy, and absolutely delicious. The Prawn Tempura was perfectly crispy and light, making it a delightful appetizer. For the main course, we enjoyed the Chicken Garlic and Peppers with Rice, which was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of garlic and spice. Overall, every dish was delicious, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Thai cuisine!”

“Great Cafe. When I'm in the area I always pop into this cafe for food! The food is SO tasty! And they have yet to get any order or request wrong! Which I'm really surprised about as my partner can make finicky requests. The people there are so friendly and helpful. Service is fast and portions are large. Great place to go eat! Enjoy!”

“We had our daughter’s christening party here over the weekend and the team were absolutely amazing. A huge shout out to Amber, Rod, and George - you truly went above and beyond!! The food was fantastic — so many of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. From helping with preparations and decorating, to sorting out drinks ahead of time and even organising the music, you made sure the whole day ran seamlessly. We couldn’t recommend The Royal Oak enough for a special occasion. Thank you so so much for making our celebration so memorable! — Sarah & Tom”

“Thank you Adam for squeezing mum in Saturday before Christmas, you and your stylist saved her day and Christmas. Everyone commented how lovely she looked and it was down to you guys. Brilliant to have free parking outside due to her mobility issues. Thanks again. Hope you all had a great Christmas and have a happy healthy safe new year.”

“Staff was good and helpful when I got there to collect my parcel”

“Friendly staff I got what I wanted”

“We return every year when we come back to the UK and they are outstanding in every way, great food, very friendly and personable and very reasonable prices. We will be back next year!”

“Fantastic establishment. Truly unique cafe experience.”

“Myself and my partner had a lovely roast beef dinner on Sunday, everything was homemade and really tasty. Waitresses very friendly and attentive, would highly recommend.”

“Dropped by on a Friday evening and enjoyed an excellent meal, served promptly by friendly staff. Our dog was welcomed, toilet facilities were clean and well maintained and there was plenty of space to find a quiet corner. Only drawback is the limited parking locally.”
