About This Pub
Ah, Barracuda in Borehamwood – what a gem for anyone craving a taste of the Mediterranean without straying too far from home. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is spot on; folks rave about the fresh dishes like king prawns that transport you straight to Italy, or those hearty breakfasts that kickstart your day just right. It's been a family-run spot since 2008, and that shows in the cosy, inviting vibe where the team goes out of their way to make you feel at ease. The location's a winner too – right in the thick of things, so it's perfect for a spontaneous meal with friends or a quiet catch-up. On the flip side, it does seem to quieten down after dark, which might not suit if you're after a more energetic night, and the prices are on the moderate side, so it pays to plan ahead if you're watching the pennies. Overall, it's a solid choice for good grub and a relaxed time, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area – just keep in mind it shines brightest during the day.

I have come here a few times now as I live 5 min walk from and I can't fault the food from breakfast brunch and dinner my husband loves this place as well. We also been to the one in stanmore and it is just as good. Everything is fresh. What I like the place is busy when a place is busy you know the food atmosphere is good. Thank you to all the staff.
