About This Pub

So, chatting about M Bar & Kitchen in Watford, it's one of those places that just warms you up from the moment you step in. From the reviews, folks are raving about the homely feel and how the team really pulls out all the stops – think attentive waiters like Rocky or Georgina who make everything feel personal and special. The menu's a winner too, packed with fresh, well-balanced dishes that showcase the best of British ingredients, and it's not just about the food; they've got a great selection of drinks to pair with it. It's ideal for everything from a family birthday bash to nipping in for a quick bite or even working remotely with that speedy wifi. Of course, it's not flawless – one person mentioned a bit of a hiccup, but overall, the feedback is glowing with that high rating. If you're in the area and fancy a spot that's cosy yet sophisticated, I'd say give it a go; it's bound to leave you with a smile.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome and at home, just like Ewa and the team did for some visitors.
  • The food is top-notch, with fresh British ingredients and a menu that's full of delicious options, from light bites to hearty mains and even lovely afternoon teas.
  • It's got a really inviting atmosphere – bright, airy, and modern, set in beautiful surroundings with landscaped gardens that make it a proper hidden gem in Watford.
  • They offer great perks like fast free wifi, making it ideal for a relaxed work session or casual catch-up over a meal.
  • Prices are reasonable, giving you good value for a superior dining experience with a superb selection of wines, spirits, and cocktails.
Cons
  • One review hinted at a less than ideal experience, though it wasn't detailed, so it might just be an off day rather than a common issue.
  • The operating hours can vary a bit, which might make it tricky to pop in spontaneously if you're not sure of the exact times.
  • With only a handful of reviews out there, it doesn't seem as widely known yet, so you might not get the full buzz of a more established spot.

I love the place, it is nice and comfy, very homey. The menu is very good however what knocks it out of the park is the team! Ewa and the rest of the team really take it to the next level

Truly deserves 5 stars in all aspects. Delivers what it says on the tin. Great ambience, bright, airy and modern in beautiful setting. Great cafe style food and wonderful service. Rocky our waiter was wonderful - very attentive and friendly. A hidden gem I would say.

What an amazing little gem quietly tucked away in Watford! We went for a family birthday celebration and the staff were incredibly accomdating, welcoming and friendly -- particularly Georgina (our waitress) and Caroline (reception). They catered to our preferences with the team gathering around to sing for us and providing a small complimentary birthday cupcake. It was a lovely surprise -- thank you for making our day so special! The food itself was also excellent -- I particularly recommend the roast lamb shank and the calve's liver. Both meat dishes were tender, unbelievably soft and juicy. The chef even came outside to talk to us, and we had a great time chatting to him about his secrets pan frying the liver. Food prices were also a highlight -- in this economy, it's refreshing to dine at such a fine establishment without it costing a fortune. Everything was priced very, very reasonably. Lastly, the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant was tranquil, clean and aesthetic -- it felt like a breath of fresh air even on a hot summer's day. All in all, as much as we'd like to keep this hidden gem a secret, the staff were genuinely so friendly; the atmosphere was peaceful and the food was both affordable and delicious. My family were making plans to return even before we had left -- honestly, that should say it all.

This is my second time to eat in this beautiful, clean, new and comfortable restaurant. But I forgot to take photos last time. They provided nice food with reasonable price. Prefect service and very nice waiters and waitresses. They are nice and helpful. However, I had a bad experience in the restaurant today. I helped my friend to take care her 8 years old dog for two weeks during the summer holiday. Last time we saw someone brought their dog in the restaurant therefore we bring my friend’s dog to the restaurant today. Unfortunately, it is a rainy day, we haven’t take a walk with the dog before having our lunch. She was unable to bear her pee, and pee on the floor. We felt so sorry about that. I have took out all the prepared cleaning products to clean the floor immediately. Suddenly a lady come and complain to the waiter when I was cleaning. And shouted that we didn’t train our dog before bring it out. I hope she can maintain her healthy body to control her pee when she getting older. The waiter didn’t reply her, he also didn’t blame us, he tried to give us more tissue for cleaning the mess but we had enough. And he said see you next time. I am really sorry about bringing him trouble today. I must go and eat again next time. I am going to try the breakfast before 13:00 next time.
