The Fish Eels - Hoddesdon

No record of our booking, bunged on another table with no table service. No one seemed to know what they were doing. Food was standard, nothing special. Looked rushed. Beer was flat and tasteless! However, the waitress that took my bar order was really nice! Other than that. Was ok!

We have a table for the holiday booked Monday, first pub I have ever entered, and there were two lines of people who are silent for drinks, so no good start! waited for 20 minutes until we were shown on our table and said waitress would be over to order drinks, waited 25 minutes and not wait waitress and no drink order! we were then told about the nice family on the table next to us that they were short workers, the menu was limited, as sold out allies and they had waited 2 and half an hour for their main course! so that we went and went elsewhere, like a few other tables, had been in this restaurant at numerous places and left very happy, but not this time, my advice will tell their customers, their short staff and the waiting time for eating and that the menu was limited not only sitting and forgetting them about them, never again in a bank holiday!

Not impressed with having to initially pay parking. Understand it is returned and taken off the final bill, but if you have to go out and extend your stay, your food could be brought to your table and it would end up cold. You also have to break off a conversation which does not help the ambience. It would make me think twice about returning Thanks Jacki Paton

Lovely place with good ambience. Suitable for groups. Quiet enough to talk to friends.

Despite a booking several weeks before there was no reserved or laid table for the group when we arrived. Service was by bar orders and the delay in response to the order was considerable.
