Restaurants in Rickmansworth

“Excellent food really helpful staff great value for money”

“As the organiser of a luncheon for a number of Toastmasters I am pleased to say our private dining experience could not have been more successful on the 26/10/2022. The food and service was excellent. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our group. Our waiter was excellent. I am based in Kent, how about opening a branch in Canterbury? Well done, hope to visit again one day. Trevor Smith Professional Toastmaster.”

“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.”

“Well cooked quality food. Great value- particularly the Breakfasts which include a drink Service & atmosphere fantastic. These are new new people & not the people who took over from Amici. No added Service charge- I like to decide how much I tip.”

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

“I’ve been a regular at this restaurant for over a year now, and it never disappoints. Every visit is a consistently great experience, with both the food and service always exceeding expectations. The pizzas and pastas are generously portioned, and the ingredients are clearly fresh and high quality. Each dish bursts with flavor, and it’s evident that a lot of care goes into the preparation. Whether it’s a cozy dinner or a quick lunch, this spot has become a reliable favorite for its excellent cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended! Grazie :)”

“Wonderful place, great atmosphere, great stuff, great food, great beer in the proper old pub doesn’t get much better than this”

“Went for a lovely lunch at the Bedford Arms with friends. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t the greatest—the pork schnitzel was thick and lacked flavour. On a happy note, we received absolutely amazing service from Kirsty! Thanks to her, we’ll definitely be back”

“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!”

“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 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. ❤️❤️❤️”

“We loved our lunch at Nonno’s Restaurant. Authentic Italian food in the heart of Chorleywood. I would recommend it to everyone passing!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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”

“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!”

“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).”

“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.”

“Absolutely loved the experience my friend and I had! We have the High Chai Afternoon tea and the food was exquisite. The flavours were electric and vibrant with each bite. The ambience and service was 10/10. Would definitely go again and highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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)”

“We have been using the Rasal for nearly 20 years and they never fail us. Recently we noticed smart, new, heat insulated takeaway bags so our food arrived piping hot and as delicious as ever. Definitely our favourite Indian restaurant in the area.”
