Ye Olde Greene Manne in Watford

Scarlet was a fantastic character behind the bar. We came in for a celebration of my wife’s new job and stayed the whole evening talking to the regulars and enjoying the pub. Shame about the weather I was really looking forward to having a drink outside in their large garden

Stopped by with no booking on a busy lunchtime, there was a function on and it was a sunny day. We were served promptly, staff friendly and helpful. We sat out side and there were lots of free tables. They offer 2 courses for £18.50 and 3 for £23 . We tried the prawn cocktail starter which was very good and the portion was big. The crispy calamari bites were NOT good ! Chewy and not good flavour. However the Fish and. Hips main course was great. Tasty big piece of Fish, tasty sling in chunky chips (not many chips , just enough) . I had the chicken , bacon and avocado salad which was a generous size and served well- the chicken was warm , the bacon crispy and fresh. We opted for mini puddings and hot drinks as our after- even the mini portions were decent sizes . The cappuccino was so-so but the teas were great, large pots not just a single cup. Shaun and his team were really good , went out of their way to sort out an issue with our bill (our fault not theirs) and never dropped the ball once despite being rushed off their feet. All in all a very good visit, we will definitely return

Lovely eve celebrating my cousins birthday, food was lovely and service was even better. Shout out to Monique (sorry if that’s not how you spell it) for the cake set up ❤️ Will definitely go back when in the area next

Warm welcome? Not a chance. Staff are too busy to say Hi or to help. Infact 5 members of staff around the bar could not point me and my family to a table for 12 minutes. It's customer service at its worse. We arrived at 4.15pm for our 4.15pm booking. We are told to wait. Multiple members of staff go past us, no other customers waiting to be seated, circa 5 free tables, yet we waited 12 minutes, only for a waitress to nod a signal to let us know we can sit at the table she just wiped, and left wet! At 4.31pm we asked a waitress if we can order starters - none of the staff are interested in serving you until you call them and even then you feel like you've asked for a miracle.A random waitress tells us that Rachel will come and take our order. Order is eventually taken by Rachel. The food is very good. Fish is outstanding and chips were a tad undercooked. Chirzo is outstanding, calamari is NOT very good. Look at the photos, it's poor at over £7. But the entire experience is ruined with rude, misserable and unhelpful staff who clearly need customer service training. Upon exit I ask who the manager is. Shaun tells me that he is the manager but does not proceed to enquire as to why I am asking. Whilst we were there, the table next to us gets drink delivered a long time after ordering with an appology from Shaun and I beleive on the house. In a seperate instance a lady is complaining around 4 members of staff at the bar. Whilst the fish was outstanding, £85 for 2 adults and 1 child is not worth the money for service which is absolutely pathetic at best. I would reccomend that the owner provides customer service training to all staff, including endeavours to ensure that ALL custoners receive a warm welcome with better communication and, god forbid, a smile!

First time visit. Very cosy pub. We ordered two starters each for four people, along with mini dessert, including hot drinks. Food very tasty. Staff were polite and accommodating towards our needs and had a chuckle at our order. It's quite different for me but enjoyable. There are plenty of car parking spaces. Would definitely go again and recommend a visit.
