Three Hammers, St Albans

I've been here a few times with a close relative who lives nearby. One of its plus points is that it serves food all day, and so if you are looking for food in the magical hours between 2-6pm, this is a place to come. The food itself is extremely variable, in my experience. Mostly it is fast food of the something and chips and peas type - little chef oldstyle. I have had a nice steak there in the past, but today I had steak which was so tough it was like old boot leather.

The staff are frendly and helpful, however, and the other customers seemed quiet and pleasant.

The Bull Hotel, Wargrave

The pub is ok. Staying here most definitely isn't. The walls are paper-thin, and music wafts in from the bar and other rooms until the early hours. The service in the evening for food is appallingly bad. Breakfast is good and attentively served.

The Royal Oak, Marlow

We came here on a Wednesday lunchtime, and had a wonderful meal. I had scallops as a starter, which were perfecty cooked, lamb for a main course and shared two puddings with my daughter, both of which were extremely good.

The food was delicious, the service good, and the beer was great too. I cannot understand why this place has such a low rating when the visible comments all praise the place.

It's a beautiful area, lovely old building, fantastic food.
