Went to the Duck in the Pond for a late drink. Staff were very friendly and the service was great…read more I found that their selection of scotch was very limited with staff behind the bar seemingly knowing little about single malt varieties (I ended up having an Irish whisky). Moreover, the seating area was untidy; there were coffee filled mugs left on shelving, floor was littered and a few empty tables littered with empties remained uncleared until the end of the night. Overall, the experience was OK and I would consider going back if I was in the area again.

It's our nearest pub and part of the Ember inns chain. However, it hasn't always been my favourite venue to eat at because the vegetarian options are a little thin on the ground. We both settled on the salmon fishcakes which comes with chips or sweet potato chips and peas or mushy peas. Very pleased to be able to order a glass of Barefoot rose. I love Barefoot wines: many white and rose wines I find upset my stomach due to their acidity, not so the Barefoot vineyard! We finished our meal with Eton Mess for me and crumble and cream for him. Enjoyable meal and reasonably priced.

However, The Case Is Altered is not to be ignored in the winter as the mismatched chairs, wooden décor and warm paintings transform it from a lively summer hot spot to a great date place. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The menu, while unadventurous, includes the standard favourites with a nice gastro-pub twist (fish and chips, steak and chips, burgers, etc) ensuring that there is something for even the fussiest eater. I recommend the beer battered fish and hand cut chips, as well any of the desserts. a little word of warning, the car park next door doubles up as a dogging site late at night, I guess for some that just means that the fun doesn't necessarily have to end at dinner

What a lovely pub! Popped in here on a sunny afternoon…read more The place is ye olde and has so many quirky features. The barman was a chatty friendly bloke and it would seem really enjoyed his job - which makes a difference. There is a good selection of drinks on sale here and they are happy to mix it up a bit if you ask for something "off-piste". It is very well looked after and everything is clean and tidy. You can hire this place out for occasions and the staff will work with you on what exactly you want. There is a patio area to the rear, which is lovely and quiet and you forget that you are near a main road. Good prices, fantastic service, I am definitely going to be making this one of my preferred local pubs to go to. If reviews did emojis, I'd probably insert a heart blowing kiss one here.

He took our drinks order and served us. I asked to set up a tab and he was fine. He pointed out the special board and welcomed us to take our seats. I had a burger and chips, it was nice enough. My colleague had fish and chips and he said his fish was actually really nice and definitely a good bit of quality fish. The waitress was so sweet, attentive and amusing! The decor was lovely and you can tell it's just had a big makeover. The whole place was immaculate. A really decent selection of drinks, including London lagers and ales. It is is at the posher end of "gastro pub". I would go back here 100%. If nothing else the staff have won it over for me hands down. You k ow you'll get served timely, decent food, with a smile, nothing too much effort.

They're dog friendly and there's a really nice nature walk right opposite the pub. You'd want to get there by car as it's in the middle of Watford road but to easy to find. The staff there are welcoming, we actually went on Boxing Day thinking it' probably be too busy but they were really nice and we got a cozy sofa spot next to the bar. The food is nice and warming I had the butternut squash soup of the day with nice homemade bread. They do amazing seafood hence the name and I'm eager to go for the lobster Tuesdays. I think you have to book in advance due to popularity. Will definitely recommend any hungry hikers and families with kids as they have a lot to choose from with whole lot of alcohol choices too!

Because of the comments I grabbed an Uber and went to The Preston. Katie made me my delicious drinks and took my order. I'll also mention she was kind, helpful, and gave me her recommendation as asked and showed me how by ordering it a certain way I would get a special price on drinks since I was having 2. How lovely! So... clean, inexpensive, delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. It was very airy also, larger than I had expected. Cocktails were a grapefruit raspberry lemonade something and a long cosmo. Both terrific. Fish and chips excellent. Go!!

The Preston is my local pub. I'm not entirely proud of this fact. There is nothing special about it…read moreapart from that it is at the end of my road and within easy stumbling distance after a night out. A few years ago the owner took out the pool table, ripped out the standard 1970s faux Victorian decor and generally turned the pub into a bland, generic suburban drinking hole. I know, I sound bitter but tacky decor and pool tables are what local pubs in London should be about. The one bonus of the refurbishment are the heaters outside which you can control yourself rather than freeze/roast to death at the discretion of a sadistic pub landlord.

There was outdoor areas with lighting, but a tad too cold out. Cute areas though. They were pretty busy as well and luckily we got a good table. Wait staff were friendly, pace of service was a little slower than what I'm used to. Had to hail someone down quite a bit, but overall food was great. We started out with cocktails because there was a special, happy hour going on. Potted Devon crab with avocado guacamole and chicken liver parfait. Not sure why I expected the Devon crab to be hot.... but it was tasty. I craved a couple more pieces of toast. I got the duck leg confit with citrus sauce and my friend got St. Austell's Tribute Steak and Ale pie. The duck was delicious. Perfectly cooked, sauce went well with it. The Dauphinoise potato, I wanted more so badly. My plate was cleaned except for the bones. The steak and ale pie was not bad, my friend enjoyed it. We finished dinner off with their pistachio soufflé. I asked what was recommended for dessert, never had a pistachio soufflé before, and it was rich and sweet. Offset by the chocolate ice cream, which had a slight bitterness to it. Perfect combination. The table next to us got the chateaubriand for two. That looked amazing and had my mouth watering. If I'm ever back in the area, I do plan on making another trip hopefully.

I am always a fan of a good country pub. We were two thirds of hour way round a Sunday country walk…read moreand found ourselves a bit peckish and in need of some refreshment. This place definitely delivered. We sat outside in their pleasant garden. Only downside is it's not south facing so wasn't in the sun. We got a bit chilly after a while so we moved to one of their tables with a heater. Much more cosy. Service was very friendly. They brought some water and offered biscuits to our dog (always a winner). Food was excellent. The beetroot and burrata salad was particularly tasty and beautifully presented. Potted shrimp was also very tasty. It gets 4 rather than 5 because it is a little expensive. Worth it but still a bit pricey for a pub. We would definitely return if we were in the area as there were a lot of delectable sounding items on the menu.
