About The Florist - Watford
On High St in Watford, The Florist is a restaurant and cocktail bar built around its hanging kebab sharing platter, with lamb hanging kebabs served alongside chips. Flowers and floral decorations run through the room, and a DJ plays on site through the evening. The wider menu includes a vegetarian katsu curry and hummus served as an individual portion, while the bar pours cocktails and a baby Guinness. The format covers food through the day into brunch, hearty roasts, and late night drinks. It takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and dogs are welcome on site.

Customer Review Summary
The hanging kebab is what reviewers return to most, with the lamb version called tasty by several and the salmon and a vegetarian katsu curry also getting praise. Close behind is the setting, described as a pink floral fantasy and picturesque, with plenty of photo opportunities and good music from the DJ. Service is often called friendly and attentive, and one reviewer notes that staff welcomed their dog. Cocktails and a baby Guinness get a mention too. The complaints are specific. One diner found the hanging kebab platter's meat seemed packaged, with hard cold chips and soggy onion rings, and also reported crumbs on the seats and food on the floor. Another said the chicken salad's chicken and bacon were hard. A third felt the hummus portion was tiny for the price, and found the server's reply that it was a portion for one rude. Desserts were called a bit lacking, and pricing mid to high. One birthday diner closed on the air conditioning that kept the room pleasantly cool on a hot day.

“From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were greeted by a very friendly host who made us feel welcome immediately, and our table host provided excellent, knowledgeable recommendations from your impressive menu. Additionally, the atmosphere and interior design are truly stunning, providing an ideal setting for the occasion. Regarding the meal itself, both the quality and presentation were outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian katsu curry, and my guests were equally impressed with their food and drinks. The portions were very generous, and we found the timing of the courses to be perfect. While the experience feels premium, the value for the quality of food and service provided is excellent. Please extend my sincere thanks to your entire team for such a memorable lunch. I will certainly be recommending your restaurant to others for everything from formal dinners to casual drinks, and I very much look forward to my next visit.”

“Don’t order the hummus. Everything about this place is great. We had been there many times since it opened but it had been a while since our last visit. Hanging kebabs were delicious as always and the salmon was spectacular. But the hummus… was crazy how little they served for the price. In previous platings it was a normal portion, great taste and presentation. Now (May 2026) it’s a spoonful on top of a garden shovel. We gave the feedback to the server and he immediately answered back that it’s a portion for one person and there was four of us (2 children and 2 adults and we had ordered 4 starters from the adult menu). We found this rude and uncalled for.”

“From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was around 34°C outside, but inside the air conditioning made it pleasantly cool. The food was excellent, with something for everyone to enjoy. Karolina, the waitress who looked after us, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. She took great care of us and made sure everything was just as we expected. It was my birthday, and choosing this place was definitely the right decision. We had a wonderful evening and would happily come back. Highly recommended!”
