Lovely landlady, some great entertainment and food is on point

Wonderful pub, great land laby, looking forward to going back
Lovely little pub. Friendly staff, good food and drink. Lots to do with pool table, dart board, music and events
There were 10 of us who arrived at lunch and Helen was on her own. She had to do all the cooking and serving and even made an apple crumble for Brian. You couldn’t have got better service
An unexpected surprise. A lovely local pub! Bar staff with Durham accent was exceptional
Don't judge a book by its cover, the food was fabulous, the landlady was very friendly we stayed 6 hours. Prices were very reasonable. Thanks for making us welcome 🙏
Lovely food, lovely old pub from mid 1500's, lovely landlady. We were well looked after and accommodated. Definitely will be going again.
We stopped for a lunch on Monday so it was a bit quiet. Traditional pub were kids and dogs are welcomed. Landlady was very friendly and the food she prepared was very tasty. There is parking next to the pub for about four cars.
We stopped here on our way home for something to eat, the landlady was really welcoming and accommodating for our dogs. We were served promptly and the food was good quality and served with a smile, we were checked on regularly to see if we needed anything. We would recommend a visit and if we are in the area again we will definitely drop in.
Such a great pub, and Helen is a lovely landlady! Great food and drinks; immaculately maintained bathrooms and outside garden area. Would highly recommend!
We were greeted with a lovely smile and hello !, the minute we walked in. There’s a theme in this pub which the kids all love. I won’t spoil the surprise! We ordered our food which arrived promptly and was delicious and nutritious also filling.We were asked a couple of times if everything met our standards which it very much did. What a down to earth, friendly, place for regulars, families and couples. Definitely would go back at the drop of a hat even though it’s a fair drive away from where we live. Thanks very much guys
We had such a wonderful experience at Helen’s lovely pub The Three Blackbirds in Flamstead! From the moment we arrived, Helen made both myself and my husband feel genuinely welcome with her warm hospitality and exceptional attention to detail. We chose to sit outside in the sun in the beer garden, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere — I had a Whiskey and Dry Ginger, and my husband Simon had a Coke. The food was fantastic, great value for money and absolutely delicious (there wasn’t a single leftover!). The chips, in particular, were incredibly tasty. Even the IT gentleman we briefly met was lovely, which just added to the friendly and welcoming environment. Helen has only recently taken over, but it’s clear that her wonderful personality and genuine care for her customers will inspire real loyalty. If we hadn’t needed to head back up towards London, we would have happily stayed much longer. We would highly recommend this pub and its food to anyone passing through. Well Done Helen and your team. Regards, Val and Simon Middlesex
Friendly welcome at a delightful half-timbered village pub. Good size portions of hearty pub grub inc veggie/ vegan options. Only 1 real ale on at my visit, a local Tring pale, which did the job to accompany the food.
Lovely place with new management, new quality. Excellent food made by chef Deano, great service and amazing atmosphere. You're feeling like at home!
Lovely food, very welcoming country pub!
We've just had a lovely lunch here, great food and friendly staff. What a lovely little place ❤️ Visited a second time, yesterday (12/2/22) and its still just as lovely ❤️
An excellent village pub with great food and some fine ale. We worth a visit to this pretty village.
Nice friendly, quite pub just near M1 Dog friendly , Always a good sign ! ;) Food menu looks very good with a sdifferent " Theme " each day ( ie . Tuesday is " Pie night " . Average prices ie £12.95 But we did not eat in on this occasion .
Absolute joke of a place, £16 for a burger and chips in a box? Landlady and her helper rude pulling faces to people during the scarecrow festival, conning young families and people. Then they say support local business, no thanks never again.
