I thought the food was amazing. We made a couple of requests like a birthday dessert and a window seat which were met. We had a young girl serve our table and she was awesome. Over all great birthday dinner for Dad :-)

Such a lovely dinner! I’ve been here a few times & to the Judges in Cuffley too, & each time does not disappoint. I got the fillet steak which was super soft & perfectly cooked. My friends said their meals were delicious too! We also had desserts, panacotta & cheesecake and they were both so tasty!

We had an enjoyable lunch at the 'spirits tasting ' event, the starter was particularly good. We were given a voucher as a gift and had not previously dined at Haywards. We enjoyed the fixed lunch menu and the presentation from Adam representing Essex Spirits. However, we would have preferred a wine tasting experience as we rarely drink spirits.
