The Old Manor in Hertsmere

Visited last week with ex teaching colleagues, all of us retired so we had a very pleasant, relaxed lunch. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. All of us enjoyed our meals, I had the fish and chips which was a good size and very tasty with lots of crisp chips & mushy peas. Have eaten here several times before and always very happy with food and overall experience. Well worth a visit!

Disappointing. Over priced with very small portions. Each one of our meals had something missing from the menu. Went there in January and the meals were better then they are now. Not worth the money they are charging. There was also a shortage of staff as the people on the next table had to forgo their meal as after sitting waiting and chasing for so long it was time to leave as they were going to the theatre

In the rush to get us served within our time slot, food was missing from some of the plates and the cabbage was cold. It certainly felt very rushed. The red pepper humous was tasteless, the wait for the cream to go with the coffee meant the coffee was tepid and all in all, not the best dining experience.The only thing good I can say is that the staff were friendly.

I'm so sad to say this as was a treat and looking forward. Didn't have one vegan starter or two vegan mains. Was quiet but service was slow and forgot to bring ketchup and glass of wine. Disappointed as cost alot and was a family treat. Shame as we won't be returning.

Family members who went to enjoy a Sunday roast with extended family were very disappointed on Sunday, wasn’t able to allocate the family group in the restaurant because we had a baby in a small pram, so we accepted this and went to the bar to have a meal. We waited an hour and half for our food. we did ask for the table to be cleaned numerous of times and when the gentleman came over to clean the table there was a piece of lemon from the previous customers drink which he proceeded to chuck over his shoulder onto the floor which was not picked up, Hygiene went straight out the window and that was an accident waiting to happen, The staff just didn’t seem to care once we did receive their meals, items of food were missing, no stuffing , when asked about the stuffing The waitress pointed to a small cocktail sausage and said that’s it, The vegetarian meal didn’t have any of the vegetables it was supposed to have, The burger was supposed to have bacon with it that was missing, The vegetarian gravy look like it was just a stock cube with hot water, The chicken was very dry, The waitress said be prepared for half a chicken to be slapped on your plate, i’m glad there was no feathers, overall very disappointed previous experiences have been very good it’s a family restaurant and we had family members that have travelled quite a way to enjoy a meal and have a good experience, come on the Manor you really let us down this time.

Lovely restaurant, friendly service. Pork belly was tasty besides the crackling not being crispy, burger good, fish lacked flavour. Toffee pudding lovely with brandy ice cream, panna cotta not the best. Overall down to earth food. Would go back to try something different.

Classic English manor pub style and atmosphere but with a 21st century menu interpretation that definitely impressed. We visited to watch the 2021 Euro Final, and regardless of the result, the drinks and experience were very good. The ordering on your phone makes for seamless rounds of drinks and food, and the food and drinks themselves are exactly what you want. As a vegan, I was truly impressed by the Banana Blossom & Chips with HOW CLOSE it is to fried fish. The appetizer From The Allotment is a great vegan starter with amazing hummus, pea falafel and veg.

Invited for a birthday dinner. Reservations were done before hand and served accordingly. Filling complimentaries and great service. The food portions were good expecially the cod and fries as well as the steak.

Great place to eat. Our daughter studies at the University nearby, so we don't know the area too well. Happened to find the old Manor and so glad we did. Served by Woody, who could not have done anymore for us. Brilliant service, great food. Will definitely be going back next time we're in the area.

This is a lovely place to dine! I went as part of a group for a family event and it was perfect. The food was great, the staff very friendly, and I have fallen in love with the period building itself. I am also amazed at the large and attractive outdoor seating area. Will definitely be back when next in the area!-photograph of their panna cotta
