Blackwells - Dacorum

A friend booked the place on Saturday night for a charity event raising money for children with cancer. The DJ 's and band all played for free. Loads of people donated prizes for a raffle and auction, and the ticket price included a glass of Prosecco on arrival (also donated for free). Not only did he charge a hire fee, despite being guaranteed that he would take considerably more than usual behind the bar (which he did), there were nearly 100 people there, drinking all night and even buying bottles of champagne. But the most incredible thing was at the end he then charged £5 a bottle 'corkage ' for the donated Prosecco!Plain simply tight and uncharitable. The place really could do with a clean and some heating too...but I guess that also costs money! Shame, it could be a nice venue if it was run better.

Friendly meeting place with lots of different food on the menu at a reasonable price. Great to visit after walking round Chipperfield. Lovely location typically english village.

Great place to meet for breakfast, needs to jazz up a little for lunch/ diner. Maybe time for some new tables and chairs. But a great spot.

Went to a party held here and have to give credit to the staff and management. The service at the bar was quick, facilities good and the food also good. Highly recommend this venue for a party, celebration etc.

I have been here several times for coffee after a walk in the woods. I wish it were cleaner and the décor more attractive.
