My sister and I visited this restaurant last evening as we were in Watford visiting our ill brother and Blue Check was highly recommended. The food, the atmosphere and the entertainment were amazing. I had steak my sister had salmon both really enjoyable. The staff...were initially very attentive and friendly and looked after us very well. Unfortunately on asking for our bill, came the down side of our evening. The bill came to just over £84 for 2 of us. A 10% service charge was automatically added which was just under £8, one of the items was wrong (seabass was on the bill but my sister had salmon, which was cheaper). My sister pointed out to the waiter the seabass was incorrect and asked for the service charge to be removed.........then everything changed! The pleasantries and friendliness was gone, replaced by aggressive questioning of why we wanted the service charge to be removed. His facial expression was dark and intimidating, he demanded to know if there was a " problem with anything" and stated that the money goes to all the staff "it is for them". I calmly attempted to explain there was absolutely nothing wrong, but that we preferred to give our own "tip" based on our experience of the service provided. I/we don't like the concept of automatically adding a service charge.......it is an individual choice of the customer. He didn't accept my explanation and continued with his aggressive attitude to reinforce the reason for the added service charge. As customers we were not listened to and our opinion was discarded and invalid, which in turn results in a poor customer experience. In the end he left the table saying....."it's up to you". He came back with an amended bill, the seabass had been changed to salmon, but the service charge hadn't been removed. So my sister and I paid the bill without pursuing it any further and politely left the restaurant. What was a lovely evening in nice surroundings, with great food and a fabulous singer was totally ruined by our experience over the bill. My sister and I were upset at being spoken to in such a manner, felt intimidated and saddened that our evening had ended in such a way. A service charge should be removed from the bill at the customers request without any fuss or intimidating behaviour. In previous experiences this has always been the case, never had an issue. This is very unfortunate as Blue Check is truly a lovely restaurant.More

The food was great and very plentiful, with very generous sized portions. The table was set out beautifully and David and the staff were very accommodating with our requirements. We were made to feel very special and mum had a really lovely time.

I live locally to Bushey and I am thoroughly impressed at what a gem I have found on my doorstep. I had the duck with orange sauce which was exceptional. Looking forward to re visiting. Loved the desert too, as pictured.

We enjoyed a first rate Sunday lunch at this warm, welcoming and charming restaurant. We polished off roast lamb in mint gravy with all the trimmings, with goats cheese and sautéed mushrooms to start, and apple tart with custard and salted caramel profiteroles for dessert....All washed down with a bottle of Merlot, and some coffees. Food, drink and staff all lovely. Prices reasonable, and something for everyone on the menu. Classic cuisine and old-fashioned service, in the best possible way. Comfy haven to wile away a few hours on a rainy day. We will be back soon!More

I went with a group of friends for the Rat Pack themed night on a Thursday. Was great entertainment. Good singer and the food was fantastic. Tiger prawns and scallops starter very nice. Good wine too. Nice venue.

We visited the Blue Check for lunch. The meal was amazing as always. I had the roast lamb, which I have to say was really delicious. It melted in your mouth. Accompanied by roast potatoes,fresh vegetables and mint gravy. My husband had the smoked haddock...on a bed of mashed potato with a poached egg. The whole meal was great. The atmosphere in this restaurant is brilliant. David and his staff look after you so well. Great choice on the menu and nothing is too much trouble. Will be back very soon!More
