Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There were 8 of us having dinner tonight and even though it was really busy (clearly a testament to how good this pub is), our server Svetlana was quick to take our drinks orders. We then had to try and choose from the fabulous menu....When the food came to was beautifully presented, hot & tasty! Everyone enjoyed their meal and some of us even managed dessert! We had great service from Megan & Laura too. At the end of the meal, Siobhan was super helpful taking everyone’s bill individually and being very patient with the older members of our group. All in all, an excellent evening and we shall definitely be back! 😁😁More

Went for a Sunday roast as a group of six, including two under fives. Food was wonderful, including a very nice desert! Good value, great service, quick and friendly, and lovely atmosphere. Lots of parking and round the corner from a nice playground which we...went to beforehand. Outside space at pub is also nice, enclosed which is good for the children. Strongly recommend and will go again soon.More

Just back from Sunday lunch! Fabulous meal, we weren’t expecting such portion sizes they’re huge and melt in the mouth and amazing, we had beef and the cauliflower cheese on the side and it was incredible. We were served by Lauren she was bubbly and...super experienced on knowledge of the food and drinks and gave us great recommendations. We were relaxed and enjoyed our meal and that was due because of the amazing food and the wonderful staff member Lauren who was great. Will be recommending to friends and will definitely be back. Thanks again!More

Ate here for a special occasion with friends. We went the whole hog and had 3 courses including various seafood options and one person had lamb. Everything was excellent, tasty and beautifully presented. We also enjoyed a lovely white wine. The service from Sam and...Lauren greatly enhanced our enjoyment of our meal. They both gave helpful tips, ensured we had all the accoutrements we needed and kept us entertained with their engaging wit and humour. Lauren has the charisma to sell anyone a dessert when they've already eaten too much!!! We love this gastropub for its extensive and imaginative menu enhanced by ever-changing chef's specials. We'll be regulars....More

Went in with a few mates for a rare sensible boys night out as i'd not been since June and heard it had a refurb and a menu change. Well the bar flies are still buzzing around i see (and i'm not referring to the...regulars) yes actual flies, i know its been warm but it looked like a maggot infestation had occured! The lager tasted flat and wasn't a full pint. The food was worse than the last time I came which i didn't think possible. Soup was tepid, my friends salad was warm and wilted with brown spoliage on the leaves. I had the special which was bland and seemed to be unseasoned. Wont be coming back again. Do yourselves a favour and give this overpriced slop a miss!More

After closing down for a "refurb" i thought i would give it a go after a previous bad experience, i wish i hadn'tve bothered, after finding a hair in my food i was told "it must be mine, as none of the waiting staff had...black hair", even though i found it within a min or 2 of arriving at the table... the beer was flat and had a subtle old dish cloth taste to it. The staff seemed indifferent and not like they wanted to be there at all. We expected an improvement after the "refurb" but its actually worse. Will not be going back untill it changes management.More

This place has gone down hill. A few weeks ago was in for drinks and they had NO glasses and the entire bar was covered literally from one end to the other with used glasses. Pint of mild was awful. Yesterday went in for dinner...and drinks four alcoholic drinks, two soft drinks, bottle Of house wine, one kids pasta, one sliced half chicken breast on a few leaves with a handful of cold fries, and two fist fills of mashed potato, carrots and green beans with a tough as shoe leather lamb shanked dumped and squeezed into a pasta bowl with not a seconds thought to presentation. Had to go up and order food and drink each time at bar yet they had the temerity to charge a service charge. £109. After complaining they scrapped the £17.50 charge for the lamb shank. Atrocious place will not be going back. Sadly, this is becoming all too frequent in Chorleywood with places charging astronomical prices and then serving up sub standard fare with zero service. Best tip. Cool and eat at home.More
