The King James, Cheshunt

A fab breakfast for under �3, you can't complain about that! But the pub is pretty run down and in need of a complete overhaul. It's sticky and smelly. However, the staff are friendly and attentive.

The Nevill Bull, Birling

Splendid!

We sat in the patio garden and enjoyed a delicious meal! Loved the steaming tureens of veg, and the food was both plentiful and well presented. A very well thought out menu, using lots of local produce, exactly what one would hope for in a country pub.

Unsurprisingly, it was busy, both with locals and cyclists, as well as the local lord! And all very friendly to this non-local. Lots of events on offer, but I sadly live too far away to indulge.

As a red wine drinker, I was delighted to see the choice on offer, not your usual run-of--the-mill pub offerings at all, and yet still very reasonably priced.

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, and we hope to be back son!

The Crown, Broxbourne

Walked up the River Lea and had dinner there last night. Not cheap, but a varied and interesting menu, lovely location, and friendly staff. I opted for the fish mixed grill, and was impressed.

No problem at all speaking to the landlady to organise a small social gathering in 2 weeks' time - very helpful.

It was very busy outside, and just a couple of peeps inside, due to it being very sunny. Most people were eating, and everything I saw come out looked good!
