  “Just wonderful in every way! Food, service, setting.. This place has it all. Such a perfect choice for weekend brunch or lunch. I really enjoyed my GF vegan cheese pizza , my husband loves the chicken main, and the desserts were yummy too. The menu is extensive so there is something for everyone. Reservations necessary as it gets really busy on weekends. There is a Parking lot for the restaurant right nextdoor.”

  “Updated: Been here before and it's easy to see why we keep coming back, that modernised country pub setting with the open fire and rural views never gets old. This time we turned up on a Saturday without booking, which in hindsight wasn't the smartest move, no outside seating available and the car park was packed. Despite that, the service stayed great throughout, and the food didn't disappoint at all. The calzone was excellent, and the rest of the family were just as happy with what they ordered. Lesson learned on our end: book ahead for weekends. But the food and service make it worth the effort either way. Previous Review: Booked ahead for a Saturday lunch with friends - exactly the right call. The place fills fast when the sun's out, and the balcony table overlooking the fields is the reason why. Stunning setting, very popular with locals, and deservedly so. Food was solid throughout: pizza starter was tasty if a little small, mains - chicken scallopine, fish, chicken breast - all good, with the scallopine the pick of the bunch. Tiramisu and cheesecake rounded things off nicely, coffees too. Around £170 for four with drinks. Not cheap, but fair for a full meal in a setting this good. Book ahead, especially if the forecast looks promising.”

  “Really disappointing experience at restaurant. We arrived as a family hoping to enjoy a nice meal together, But noooo the meals we ordered pizza and salad. The pizza was so dry sauce was so dry salad with no sauce just plain green salad. The service was so slow I only recommend is just go there drink or drink coffee be your friends or family. The view from outside was very nice though..”

  “Took my daughter to celebrate her graduation. The table was outside with a stunning view. The place was rammed on a Monday night! All the staff were brilliant and the food was excellent. 10/10!!”

  “Well , from the start was not great , I book a table day before for a Birthday, they didn’t do nothing to make her feel special on her birthday , the waitress had not idea about the food menu , The food was not good The calamari 4 piece's for over £10 The prawn was only 4 pieces really small with crazy amounts of tomato sauce.. Disappointing . The fish sea bass didn’t have a crispy skin , looks like was steam with the skin on , Skin hanging from the fish ,the plate needs a lot of improvement. The flavours didn’t come together . ( dry tomato not good there ) Salty and sweet , not for me ! And on top of that my baby girl had a kids menu , and the chicken came burnt, how can a chef send a burnt chicken to a kid I told them a day before about the birthday. Anyway great countryside and beautiful view, That all …. So sorry to be strongly honest About my experience, I hope they can make people feel especial on their Birthday and improve their food.”

  “I took my Mum here for her birthday. Just happened to come across it when searching for nice places to eat nearby. It is an absolute incredible find! Lovely interior and exterior. Beautiful surroundings and what a fabulous, varied and delicious menu. With it being so hot, we were lucky enough to sit outside, in the shade, looking at the incredible view. The staff were very attentive and service was excellent. So so glad I was able to treat my mum to a meal here. I would highly recommend to anyone living near or far.”

  “Beautiful setup , lovely country side restaurant/ pub with a large garden overlooking wide fields of green. Italian style dishes, homemade desserts (the sticky toffee pudding was great and not too sweet). Quick service even though the restaurant was packed. On a warm day you can sit outside and enjoy unbelievable views.”

  “The Old Guinea in Potters Bar is a beautifully modern yet traditional pub that really gets everything right. The menu is extensive and caters brilliantly for both meat eaters and vegetarians, with something for everyone. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food is genuinely enjoyable. The pub is very child-friendly, which was perfect for us after the school run, and the customer service was excellent; friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. We celebrated a friend’s birthday!..There with five of us and had a lovely, relaxed time. One of the real highlights is the stunning outdoor space. The view stretches far back and looks out over a wonderfully green slice of local countryside so it feels peaceful and spacious, especially on a bright day. I’d absolutely recommend visiting in spring or summer to make the most of it. There’s a good amount of parking and it’s easy to find, which is always a bonus. Overall, a fantastic pub with great food, atmosphere, and service. Would definitely go again.”
