Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast is what reviewers return to most, with one diner describing a tender, juicy pork roast and another calling it the best in Berkhamsted, and a group of seven noting generous portions for mains and puddings. Sides like stuffing, cauliflower cheese and peas and leeks get praise, and banana bread with ice cream is singled out for dessert. Close behind is the staff, described repeatedly as friendly and welcoming, with one reviewer saying they looked after a group well. Fish Friday and fish and chips with peas also come up, along with a buffet of chicken strips, goujons, Yorkshire puds and mac n cheese that one reviewer says catered for a party of 26. Seating options draw comment too, from inside to the covered patio and canalside tables. The one criticism is the gravy, which a reviewer says tasted of ready gravy granules. Reviewers also advise booking ahead for Sunday, as it is busy, and one family celebrating Mother's Day with a roast left highly satisfied.
