The Three Crowns in Watford

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience truly deserves one. My foreign partner was visiting the UK and I knew I had to take him for a proper roast. There are plenty of hyped spots in central London, but with this pub just down the road from me, we figured why not keep it local. And wow, the Sunday roast was honestly incredible. Both the vegetarian and meat roasts were amazing. On top of that, our waiter was super attentive, (wish I got his name but thank you!) and the rest of the staff were all so genuinely lovely. Service and food was 10/10. We were sat in this little nook where we had privacy which was also super nice. Thank you so much for such a great experience!

Recently stayed locally as I was attending an NFL event in London, and popped in to this beautiful pub before leaving for home. Pubs these days are all chains and was expecting the usual wetherspoons fare, and I'm happy to say I could not have been more wrong. The pub looks lovely from outside, tidy, well cared for, and I'm really quite jealous of the hanging baskets which should have been my first indicator of the level of care and attention to detail the owners (didnt think to get a name) take. I initially went in the pub side and the surprisingly friendly locals (northerners are quite falsely led to beleive southerners aren't friendly) pointed me to the side with the larger dining area and outside area. While there i had a selection of sides rather than a main (i can be quite fussy) but the food was the highest quality. The garlic bread with cheese portion was HUGE, I'd say a ciabiatta and a half??!! And it was gorgeous and cooked exactly like it should be. I also had potato skins with Bacon and this was a nice suprise. I was expecting something frozen if I'm honest but you could tell the food was cooked from fresh with chopped bacon and the salad that came with it was clearly very carefully prepared. Finally the chunky chips might honestly be the best chips I've ever had in a pub. Honestly. The couch, the soft potato inside, perfect. This may all seem a little much for a few starters but they were of such quality that I just HAD to leave a review. Finally I also had a pint of Hells and it was spot on. The right amount of gas, temperature perfectly refreshing and didn't taste of "chemicals" (you all know what I'm talking about). My only disappointment is that it is about four hours away from where I live. Bravo to all involved, and forgive me for not thinking to collect your names to thank you properly.

We organised a private lunch buffet for a family event recently. Jessie and Bobbi could not have been more helpful to us. They adjusted their set menu to help us with our various food and allergy requirements. The food was all served beautifully with clear labels and the bar service was great. I highly recommend.

This place is a an oasis in a desert. Great food atmosphere and service. The prices are hard to beat with the quality of the experience. I'm glad I found this place and will be back for more.

I've visited this pub a few times now, and it’s quickly becoming a favourite. It has a charming, old-world feel that’s perfect for relaxing, and there’s a great selection of board games to enjoy. The food is solid—highlights include the epic "Club Sandwich" and the delightful raspberry crumble with custard. Portions are just right, though some items, like the onion rings, seem to come from a packet, which is a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the staff are friendly, and the pub garden is a real treat when the sun is out. Overall, a lovely spot with room for improvement in some areas.
