Best English Restaurants in Rickmansworth

Greeted enthusiastically. Very pleasant staff. Happy to serve smaller portions when requested. Food was good. Parking easy. Excellent experience.

The Nepali menu is beautifully spiced without being too hot; our waiter gave very good advice on what to choose

A good improvement over last visits , we ate inside but the garden is beautifully planted, looked bright and inviting. We arrived early on the BH Monday evening and the restaurant was quite quiet. My first choice of monkfish had already sold out after a busy weekend but the hake was an acceptable alternative option. My friend had the pea risotto and both plates were well presented. We had an enjoyable dinner and will visit again soon I hope.

We’ve never reviewed The Grove before as it’s our local and we’ve been coming for years, but after a recent visit we felt it deserved a proper shout-out. It had been a little while since we last came, and with a new team and updated menu, we had such a fab dinner. It was a busy Friday night, always a good sign, and we were given a table right by the kitchen which worked perfectly for us and our two kids (aged 6 and 2). It still felt lively but comfortable. We were looked after by Dylan, who was brilliant. Polite, prompt, and especially attentive when it came to our kids’ food, as we have allergies in the family. Both Dylan and the chef were fantastic and made everything to order without hesitation, which we really appreciated. We all had the fish and fries, usually a favourite but sometimes hit and miss. This time it was the best we’ve ever had. The sauces have clearly had an upgrade too. The tartare was really good, and even the curry sauce and mushy peas, which I wouldn’t usually go for, were spot on. A lovely glass of organic Malbec for us, apple juice for the kids, and exactly the kind of relaxed, easy evening we needed after a long week and the end of term. Thanks so much to the whole team, we’ll definitely be back again soon. x

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal. Starters were tasty and plentiful. Mains were delicious and the perfect amount. Sweets were good. Staff were helpful and polite.
