Socializing in Rickmansworth

“First time visiting Bec and Bon and definitely won’t be the last! Thank you so much to Natasha for the beautiful cut, and for taking the time to style my curly hair - I love it! Can’t wait for my next visit in the new year.”

“Amazing place. Fresh food and exactly how you’d like it. The man (maybe owner) is super welcoming and is so kind. Please visit and support”

“We organised a 60th birthday party in the hall for approx 100 people and had a great time. The bar staff were great and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks!”

“We love to come to this cafe when going for a walk at the acquadrome. Great selection of savoury and sweet food. Very good coffee. Plenty of seating inside and out, and dog friendly. So refreshing to find such friendly staff who genuinely seem to be enjoying what they do.”

“Unavu Kitchen recently catered for our Baby Shower & their service and food was so amazing! They delivered a smooth, well presented and friendly service. Myself, hubby & Our guests absolutely loved their food. They are truly the best at what they do! Thank you once again, Unavu Kitchen ! Best Wishes x Jasmine & Josh x”

“Wonderful nursery and amazing team here that has been looking after my child incredibly well for the last two years. They have been all very knowledgeable, caring and very supportive during every stages of my child's development. They plan lots of activities with and for children, encouraging participation from parents as well. Very quickly, the staff built the trust that I was very confident that kids grow and develop in a safe and comfortable environment in this nursery. The surroundings are beautiful as well. In addition to well-designed outdoor play area, the Chorleywood Estate gives unbelievable access to different animals, long walks, free play area in the nature. Lots of places to park your car too, which sometimes becomes an important thing to consider during busy drop off and pick up times. Overall, lovely community feel - highly recommend!”

“All I can say is WOW! I took my male pomeranian to the pup shack today after only booking yesterday and Nadine was absolutely amazing!! Didn’t mind me waiting with my mums prized pom and the attention to detail and loving care she showed my boy was outstanding!!! The cut is amazing and my pom who is normally so scared of strangers took to her so well!! Finally found an amazing groomer local to both my home and Work whom I trust with my fur babies. Definitely booking 6weekly appointments from now on! Highly recommend pup shack to everyone! Thank you so much Nadine!”

“Canine Countryside Escape are excellent. They are so reliable and given their professionalism and well staffed team there has never been a day that they haven’t been able to fulfil their services. All of the team are friendly and professional and my dog loves going to them for either walks or day care. His tail is invariably wagging delightedly when they come to pick him up! We’ve used them for three plus years now with no intention of changing providers.”

“I visited The Old Shepherd for the first time on Saturday evening and was very impressed with everything about it. The decor and lighting help to create a great atmosphere along with the helpful and friendly staff and welcoming locals. The quality, portion size and value of the food was outstanding, I ordered a veggie burger which was the best i've ever been served in a pub and the fries were delicious too. I'm told there's live music now on most Saturdays and the artist playing was of a very high standard. Highly recommended venue worth travelling to.”

“Such an amazing venue - so clean and tidy. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a space to hire!”

“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.”

“Best pub in Croxley. Best beer, friendliest staff and all the locals go here. Never a problem getting served no matter how busy it is. Yes some of the locals do sit at the bar but that is a good thing surely! Always enough staff on. Very popular with regulars and local clubs who choose this for their functions & get togethers. Can't go wrong.”

“Such a great playground! Babies can go in the swing and enjoy the grass in the summer. Toddlers will like the sand and the climbing parts with lots of adult supervision. All ages from 4 to teenagers will find something that they like to play with.”

“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!”

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

“Had a lovely lunch catch up with friend. Food was good. Not busy. We stayed on chatting undisturbed.”

“Really nice staff, Verry welcoming. Definitely going to use this place for my next party”

“Christmas chicken schnitzel was great the gravy a little salty. Atmosphere is cosy and warm.”

“My great grandfather Peter Grune and his family lived in this pub. He owned several pubs but this one in particular was a favourite. I am now in my 90s! It looks like the old pubs used to be but without straw on the floor!”

“From the atmosphere, to the service and staff everything was nothing short of amazing. All the food was absolutelly amazing but the Korean fried chicken burger was the star of the show. The burger was an explosion of flavors and textures. The crispy chicken was coated in a sweet and spicy sauce topped with crunchy slaw and creamy mayo, it was one of the best burgers I had in years. Compliments to everyone. I will definitely be back.”

“always clean and tidy and all children seem to enjoy the zipwire.”

“Had our annual family get together here in function room. Extremely spacious so plenty of room for all the clan to get together. Room for the children of the family to play too and open their presents. Plenty of seating, tables and comfy chairs.”

“Great local boozer and with plenty of screens the best place to go to watch sports. Good pub food as well.”

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

“The newly refurbished colosseum was worth the wait. A delightful venue with many great events to look forward to. Bar prices seemed high which was the only negative to my first night with a concert by the BBC Concert Orchestra”

“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 best quality meet you can find in the area at great price!!! I've been customer of Meze Mangal for a few years now and the quality of food is great. The kebaps are great and always fresh food served here. The owner is soo generous that he spoils us with sweets on special days. I would highly recommend to anyone who like to eat good food.”

“Hollybush Montessori has provided such an anchoring environment for my children during our transition moving to the UK, especially while moving here during the pandemic. They have been instrumental in providing a smooth transition for my children and welcoming them with open arms. The indoor and outdoor classrooms provide wonderful opportunities for children to explore and experiment through play. Every time we drive past Hollybush my son excitedly says "My Hollybush" and keeps asking when the holiday break is over so he can see his friends! I greatly appreciate their genuine concern and involvement in the well-being of my children, especially as my daughter transitioned to Reception Year. I highly recommend Hollybush Montessori and the fabulous teachers!”

“Garry take my puppy out for a walk once a week, and the pup has a blast. Every time Garry picks him up, the little critter doesn't even want to say goodbye. What is lovely is that Garry sends through videos of the puppy walking, playing and socialising with other dogs. When the pup comes home, he is happy and tired and almost immediately dozes off for a good nap. Garry is also very punctual flexible, which is lovely - thank you Garry for being the highlight of my pup's week!”
