Hop and Vine Ruislip

Bar

😠 My first visit to The Hop and Vine will be my last! A loud group of people crowding the bar regaled the rest of the pub with the sort of racist and anti-Semitic "jokes" that hark back to the days of the NF and skinhead "culture". The bar staff made no attempt to intervene. If this pub wants to be a...

Ideal Fish Bar

Fish and chips takeaway

🫤 First time trying their fish & chips and definitely the last. I thought I would try them based on reviews. Haddock was nice but portion of scampi were basic and were not enjoyed by someone who loves scampi. Portion of chips were a small, measly amount, especially as EVERY OTHER ESTABLISHMENT are al...

The Swan

Pub

👍👍 There's nothing to fault in this pub - it boasts all the virtues of what a good traditional local should be. It’s a tiny terraced gem with varied, well-kept beer (Young’s, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord and Black Sheep, which all taste great with a meat pie for less than two quid!), lovely fires in winte...

White Lion

Pub

👍👍 Best Sunday roast in Watford. We came around 4 pm few times and the service and the owner is always very nice. Best book in advance for Sunday Roast as it sells out very quickly. This pub won Watford Observer Award 2023.

Palmers Peugeot

Peugeot dealer

😠 There is no hiding I have had my ups and downs since buying a used car here. However just recently I have been less than impressed, 3 weeks ago I brought my car in as it was making a knocking noise.
