Darcy's Bar & Restaurant in Hemel Hempstead

Ah, Darcy's – it's one of those places that just hits the spot, isn't it? Tucked away at Apsley Marina, it's a welcoming bar and restaurant serving up everything from a solid breakfast starting at 8:30am to tasty tapas and even bottomless brunch options that are perfect for a cheeky midweek treat or weekend gathering. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is spot on – think succulent steaks and burgers that folks rave about, all prepared fresh and full of flavour. The team there really know how to make you feel at home, with their attentive service and warm smiles that turn a simple meal into a memorable outing. It's also ace that they welcome dogs, so you don't have to leave your four-legged friend behind. On the downside, while the grub is generally excellent, a few have mentioned that some portions, like the scrambled eggs, could do with being a tad more generous to fully satisfy. And let's be honest, parking might take a bit of faffing about, but once you're sorted, it's smooth sailing. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone in Hemel Hempstead looking for a relaxed spot to enjoy good food and drinks with mates – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area!
