We have visited this lovely place several times and we never got out disappointed. The service is always excellent and the food mouth watering. All made fresh hence why you wait a little longer but we were never disappointed. The chef takes pride with hie cooking and also with presentation. We had few celebrations here the last was my mother’s birthday. The staff helped with decorating the area and the chef personally came out to give his best wishes to my mum.
Food was delicious. We were given home made fresh bread with an olive dip to start by the chef himself. We then tried the special menu, the steak and Guinness pie was to die for with some delicious home made pastry and genuinely full of big chunks of meat. Very generous portion that did not go to waste !! The homemade ravioli were absolutely amazing huge and full of ricotta and spinach. We ended our night with the delicious pudding from the specials which was kindly presented with a candle and served well presented to my mum. Thank you to Margo at the Old Mill for their hospitality and their amazing service. Compliments to the chef for his attention to detail and to Yasmin for being such a good host. I look forward for more celebrations at this fantastic place.
If you haven't been yet, you need to go! The food was delicious and speaking to the head chef and owner, it is amazing what preparation and fresh ingredients go into the food (fish fresh from London fish market and mozzarella from Naples). There are not many restaurants left like this place. Free samples of homemade lemoncello at the end of the meal. So welcoming and enjoyable.
Great food, amazing atmosphere. Reasonably priced, especially for the quality and portions.
It's a growing pub, naturally some areas are being improved. Nothing detracted from the experience or food. If this is how it is now I'm excited to see its journey!
I visited Margo's with my fiance this afternoon. We both ordered pizzas and they were honestly the best we've ever had in the UK- absolutely delicious and authentic. The chef was wonderful and came out to explain all the ingredients to us. We both got a real sense of his passion for cooking and it came through in the food. Very accommodating in allowing me to customise my order to suit my preferences. We didn't have room for desserts, but they looked delightful too, so will definitely try those next time we come. We will most definitely return and tell all our friends and family to visit.
Lovely homemade pizza. Best I have eaten in town. Fresh ingredients.
No nasty additives. I can't eat sulphates which is often found in processed foods which chain restaurants use to ensure all the food is exactly the same.
Atmosphere I scored lower as all the place needs us more people to enjoy the good food and drink.
We had a lovely evening at Margo's last night - at their Flamenco and tapas event. The tapas were incredible, particularly the padrón peppers and bean stew (which really took me by surprise as it was SO tasty!) - you can tell that a lot of attention is paid to sourcing the best ingredients. We were given a selection of 6 tapas as part of the £30 price for the event and had fully intended to buy more to share (there were 4 of us) but they were so filling we had no room for more (gutted I forgot to take photos but I was too busy tucking in!)! The flamenco dancer and Spanish guitarist were also excellent and provided great entertainment. The whole evening took me back to Spain (minus the weather!), we really enjoyed it. I can't believe it's taken me so long to visit Margo's but I'll definitely be back again - this is the perfect spot for foodies :)
Just to add this is a very family friendly and dog friendly restaurant, also the perfect spot to catch up with friends (like I did!)
Lovely gastro pub with amazing food! We were pleasantly surprised by the variety, the innovative cuisine and quality of fresh ingredients. Friendly and warm welcome by the owner. Wonderful, will come back and strongly recommend
The food is fantastic, and the menu is really varied. Some of the best food we've eaten in Berkhamsted. The Chef/owner takes real pride in the food they serve, and creates a really relaxed, hospitable atmosphere. The staff have always been very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning!
We had such a lovely meal last night at Margo’s that I felt compelled to leave a review. The service was excellent and the chef treated us to a complimentary charcuterie board, with hams that have cured themselves, that was absolutely delicious. You could see how much the chef took pride and care in his food and it made a real difference in flavour having many of the ingredients prepared from scratch. Will definitely be returning again and again.
Popped in today after a long dog walk around ashridge. The staff were more than friendly even offering my dog treats and allowing her either inside or outside. Only had a drink. But would recommend and would return again.
Went for an evening meal yesterday (9th Oct 2023) - three friends out for a girlie night catch up - the sharing platters and pinot were ideal, nice quiet setting, friendly staff - we got the dipping platter and it was delicious - the chef came out and explained all the dips - he had such a passion for his craft, he made all the dips from scratch and you could tell, they were so tasty, and he also brought us out some freshly made oat crackers which were amazing and still warm, he also brought out some parma ham he had been curing for a while - it was delicious, the chips and sweet potatoe fries finished everything off nicely. Great catch up, cosy table and perfect picky food.
Had a fab meal here tonight. The staff were so nice. Food was delicious. Lovely stop in ten courtyard watching the yellow wag tail birds nesting. Dog friendly too.
I cannot rate Margos any higher, have been twice now and it is the only place ill happily spend my money out to eat. Working in the restraunt industry myself I understand the care and time that has gone into preparing the food and it is of the highest quality, have recommended to friends and family. This place is the real deal. Thankyou.
Great place to have Sunday lunch. Food was very nice and the portion size was really big. I loved the place.
A hidden gem of Berkhamsted, margarita pizza was very yummy 😋
Such a great experience. Food, staff and chef so terrific. A must when you are cruising on the canal. Smoke house also. Well worth a visit.
What a brilliant discovery in a very nice setting. In addition the food is very good. Bravo, we will be back!
