Spirits in Watford

“I really enjoyed everything about this place. They have different style rooms depending on where you prefer to eat. I ordered the goats cheese and beetroot as the starter which was fantastic. I got the side of the tomato beef ragu pasta which was amazing but exactly the right size for my small appetite that day - they also brought a whole bowl of Parmesan for me to help myself. For dessert I ordered the brownie and doughballs with Nutella which came with icecream. I personally was not a fan of the brownie or the ice cream I wish there had been the option to just have a bowl of the doughballs as I had seen in other reviews as these were amazing. The tables were quite close together and it was really quite loud. I hope they invest in some sound absorbing panels. I would recommend and will be coming back. I have been again since and the pasta was still fantastic. We also ordered the mushroom risotto however this was lacking a bit of flavour, the walnuts were a nice touch. I do have to say the staff are fantastic about making adaptions to meals to intolerances.”

“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.”

“Lovely atmosphere, very coming place to go to, so chilled and everyone is so easy to talk to”

“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.”

“Our daughter (now in year 8) has been at Edge Grove since year 6 having spent all her previous schooling in the French system. We joined the school at a time when the new headmaster, Me Evans, was still putting in place his vision, but we felt that he knew exactly what he was wanting to do, and we completely bought into that vision. We have not been disappointed. The pastoral care has been first rate, particularly helping our daughter in the transition to a British Independent school. From what we have seen, any pastoral issues are dealt with speedily and sensitively. Great emphasis is put on politeness and creating the right environment for learning, whilst enjoying everything that the school has to offer. The education curriculum is innovative, supportive and stretching, and the school is doing a fantastic job of supporting all year 8 pupils in preparation for CE, truly differentiating based on the schools they are applying to and the exams they will be taking. Extra-curriculum activities are great too - the Director of Music is fantastic and the improvement in the quality of all school music activities has been marked, while the head of girls' games is really raising the bar too. Staff go beyond what one might expect and respond rapidly and helpfully to any questions or concerns. The parent community is friendly and welcoming. The school certainly deserves its recent rating of Excellent in all regards from the Independent Schools Inspection. I highly recommend the school to any prospective parent.”

“Visited this place today and I must say it's phenomenal. From the atmosphere, food and service, everything was pin point perfect. The prawn starter was delicious. The mixed platter was to die for and the bolognese was so amazingly tasty. Not to mention, all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again and so should you all.”

“Stepping into this restaurant feels like stepping into a cozy corner of Eastern Europe — every wall is alive with culture, from embroidered fabrics and musical instruments to rustic crafts that tell a story of heritage and pride. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to slow down and savour a hearty meal. But the real highlight is the papanași, a traditional Romanian dessert that completely stole the show.”

“Great independent wet pub of the kind that is sadly diminishing. The Guinness is great and the sandwiches much appreciated.”

“As I walked in I was welcomed by a lovely man called Micheal made me feel welcome in this gorgeous pub he’s got a heart of gold. I came in on my own he still made me feel welcomed and not outnumbered and we had a very good chat and a great laugh I highly recommend the one crown”

“Had a great experience at the Wetherspoon in Watford. The ambience was really nice — welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a casual outing. The food was good and reasonably priced, living up to the Wetherspoon standard. The place was clean throughout, and the washrooms were surprisingly well maintained, which isn’t always the case in busy pubs. Overall, the place is aesthetically pleasing and well looked after. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!”
