About This Pub

Ah, The Top of the World in Hemel Hempstead – it's one of those pubs that really tries to be the heart of the community, you know? I reckon it's got a lot going for it, like the super welcoming staff who make you feel like you're among friends right from the off, and the food's often a highlight with tasty burgers, pizzas, and even some solid vegan options that don't break the bank. They're all about fresh ingredients and great value, which is perfect for a laid-back night out or a casual meal with the family. But, fair warning, it's not all smooth sailing – some folks have had to wait ages for their orders, even when things aren't packed, and there've been a few tales of rude service or disappointing dishes that didn't quite hit the mark. Still, with its community spirit and affordable vibe, it's worth popping in if you're local, just maybe keep your expectations in check and plan for a bit of patience. Overall, it's a solid choice for a pint and a chat, but like any spot, it's got its ups and downs.

Never Again! Waited 56 minutes for a takeaway with no apology or explanation. The staff were rude and dismissive, acting like we were the problem for asking where our food was. When we finally got it, the food was disgusting – especially the chicken, which tasted rotten and unsafe to eat. For the prices they charge, you'd expect basic quality and decent service, but this place failed on every level. Avoid at all costs – worst pub experience ever!

Handy that you can order and pay from the table by scanning a QR code. We waited 55 minutes for our food despite it not being very busy. The food was tasty but portions small. Won't be coming back.

The food is lovely, I have never been disappointed. Only one thing i had was chicken pie and mash, but it was packet mash, which is not my favourite. The staff are lovely and friendly. My sisters and husband have now said it's our local lol, and we are from Grovehill. Sorry, there are no pictures or videos as when I go to do it. I have finished my meal, but next time, lol.

Top of the World in Hemel offers great views and a relaxed vibe. The menu features tasty burgers and pizza. Food quality is good, though service can be slow at times. Friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Popular on weekends, so reservations are recommended.
