"We are not local, but asked if there were any nice pubs around for food and were recommended here and it did not disappoint! Lovely setting, would love to return in better weather to sit outside, but the quality of food was so good we’ll be back whatever the weather! Nice menu choice, something for everyone literally, some interesting “fancy” chef food but not leaving the classics behind for the less adventurous. Friendly greeting, nice ambience, food perfection I mean White Chocolate Baileys Creme Brulee… with home-cooked shortbread…what’s not to love?! Impressed that even one of the chef’s asked us if we’d enjoyed our food. We may live an hour away but we cant wait to return to sample more from the menu, especially the Sunday roast and they even open in the morning for fresh pastries and coffee and there was an amazing cake on the bar that sadly we had no more room for! Anyway, highly recommend, there’s not many pubs that have everything so right nowdays, so a very well done to all there!"

Had a family meal here on Thursday as it was my wife’s Birthday. Have to say the food was delicious with a nice size portion. The staff members especially the young lady serving us were lovely, nothing was too much trouble, we will definitely be back again. Thanks for a great experience

I’ve been using The Catherine Wheel for a few months now and it’s a lovely village pub/restaurant! The atmosphere is always enjoyable the beer well kept and the food is lovey! Hats off to Matt the GM and Jessica the AM do an excellent job managing a friendly and attentive team. Thank you

Very good fixed price 1/2/3 course lunch with three courses at £22. Generous portions. Good starters of pork belly bites and mains of fish and chips. Excellent treacle tart with blueberry sauce and buttery ice cream. Well kept cask ale from the Tring brewery and well flavoured home made festive mulled wine. Wonderfully unhurried service as requested. Highly recommended. View menu

My husband and I had the worst roast dinner I have ever experienced. The roast potatoes were hard and lacked flavor, and the Yorkshire puddings were dry and unappetizing. We were really let down by the quality of the food. It seemed like perhaps the ingredients had been in the freezer for too long. Most of the staff were friendly, but there was one lady who was grumpy and not welcoming. We decided to leave and go home for a sandwich instead.

I visited this restaurant again with my family in the hopes of sharing a roast meal. We arrived at 2pm to order a chicken sharer roast for 4, but unfortunately the option was sold out. We ended up purchasing individual chicken breast roasts for an additional £6 per person, feeling quite disappointed by the lack of value. The portion of vegetables was meager, with only 2 peas and a small portion of cauliflower cheese on each plate. When we tried to speak to the staff about our concerns, they seemed uninterested and left before we could fully address the issue. Our waitress also seemed unapproachable, as if she was in a bad mood. Overall, we were not satisfied with our experience and are unlik...

"I recently moved from Stanstead Abbotts, a beautiful little village in the valley of the river Lea. At the end of the high street is this quaint little Thai restaurant that I used to walk by and always said to myself Before I leave this village, I will book a table and have a meal So said so done. On the afternoon of my move, I asked if they had a table available (on the spot) which they did not hesitate to give me. The restaurant has 2 sections, the front is the largest. I was given a table at the back, as I 'm assuming the other tables were reserved. The menu is vast, bright and colourful, with a touch of personal personality and the price points were within my budget, plus I was giving myself a treat. I ordered 4 dishes: 1. Pad Thai chicken Ginger dish, which I thought came with noodles, but didn 't 2. Crispy sweet and sour beef 3. Thai Green curry 4. Coconut rice This was accompanied by a medium size glass of Lemonade with a slice of Lemon for garnish. The Presentation was nicely served on white plates which made the colours of the food stand out. I had two waitresses, MiMi looked after me the most and frequently asked if all was well as I ate. I was quite hungry, so she said no rush. The decore in the back of the restaurant was embellished with potted plants, hanging from the ceiling with, faux red leather benched seating and whitewashed brick walls. Where I sat (at the back) felt slightly cut off from the main hub of the restaurant, which did affect my overall experience, albeit I was grateful to be given a table, at such short notice, so I reframed that circumstance. I could hear chatter in the busy kitchen, as takeaway orders, were going out, as well as seated reservations. BACK TO THE FOOD: All dishes were served hot and well presented. My Thai curry was in a bowl, that almost tipped over, not sure if that was my haste or the design of the bowl. This tasted exquisite. The flavours bounced around my pallet and the chicken was so succulent and morrish with a touch of heat! As I stated earlier, from the illustration on the menu I ordered Pad Thai, which I assumed was a noodle dish, yet when it arrived it was just chicken and ginger in a sauce. There must have been a miscommunication when I was making my order...Never mind, I had enough in front of me and wondered if my eyes were too big for my belly ! The crispy beef was OK, a little chewy! and the coconut rice was a delight. All in all, I was full and the meal satisfied my hunger. In reflection, if I was to order all over again, I would have ordered x2 THAI GREEN CURRY and I would have been happy, The bill was brought to my table promptly, after I asked for it in a nice golden ornate-looking bowl, accompanied by two pearl mints (nice touch) Now for the hard part.. The Bill I was pleasantly surprised to pay £38.35, that afternoon, excluding a service charge (not sure if that was because I was eating alone or what) If I were to give my whole experience of dining at Khunnai Thai Cuisine a mark out of Ten, I would grade it 7/10. Room for improvement: The decore in the back part of the restaurant, maybe some soft Thai music, Change the colour of the deep red Faux leather seating to something more tropical looking, Maybe an extension for outside dining, at the back (during summer) and a little less NaCl. Comments are given all in goodwill. Thank you for a tasty meal. I would definitely eat at Kuhnnai Thai Cuisine and bring my friends or family along...Next time I will book a table for the front of the restaurant, which appeared to be a more open-plan layout with a buzzing atmosphere."
