"The food and drinks were enjoyable, but unfortunately, the staff was rude and standoffish. Despite initially only ordering drinks, we decided to also order food. The restaurant was busy, and we had difficulty getting the attention of a staff member from our table. When my friend approached a waitress to ask if we could order food, we were met with an unpleasant attitude. We were told that orders were taken based on who arrived first. We eventually managed to place our order after being ignored and receiving curt responses. However, the lack of hospitality continued when it came time to pay, leaving us feeling like a burden. Despite having frequented the restaurant several times and initially choosing it as our favorite in the area, we will not be returning due to the poor service we experienced. The food was good, but the service from some of the staff was disappointing."

"Been here numerous times to buy food (sandwich etc) for flights. I usually visit in the mornings and they are open early, are generally efficient at the tills and well stocked in the mornings. Food is normal Pret sandwiches and salads of the same standard as other Pret stores. On the last visit I was very pleased they are serving again the baguette of brie, tomato and mozzarella which I still can’t get at my local Pret. My baguette was lovely and fresh and my husband had the bacon/egg baguette, which he enjoyed. I also had a mango/lime pot and a dark chocolate and almond cookie (these are lovely). One disappointment if coming for breakfast is that Pret has stopped making porridge with non-dairy milk (no idea why as plant eating is on the increase). Although there is seating in this store it is quite cramped as it is always busy with people queuing and the seats are around the queue/entrance so not the most relaxing places to sit and eat and wait but great for take-away."

"Excellent food but a curious staff attitude. Reserved a table on “Open Table” and arrived to a cold lifeless reception. The restaurant was not full but we were shown to an awkward table between the main traffic flow and a table of six guys in dirty work attire, thanks but no thanks we will have that nice romantic big table over there… much better! Do staff not think what does the customer want? Who wants to sit there? Good food well presented and tasty. Decent wine list. All hand sanitisers were empty and dirty. The toilets need a damn good cleaning. The whole place needs a revamp, poor lighting, no background music and it feels like a school dining room with pictures. We would return but only if no where else was available, previous reviews are much too generous in their comments and lack any critical review. We rated it 5/10, could do much better and be much happier."

"I love this restaurant, haven't been for a while, came for tea Love the new decor The meal itself was a bit of a let down , my favourites have gone off the menu. We ordered a starter to share it was fantastic 10/10 I ordered a chicken and mushroom dish as a main it was served luke warm so I asked if they could heat it up for me which the server did, I like mushrooms but I didn't like getting a mouthful of grit with every mouthful, was very disappointed) as we have eaten here many times and never had a disappointing meal before Next time I visit Bishop Stortford I will return but just not order that dish Staff were great as always"

"thank you for your reply… in fact the dog poo was there for 2 hours after i raised the issue. customers stood in it and had to go home to change their shoes…. you miraculously ‘disappeared’ when we wanted to talk to you and you left it with very junior staff…you did not move your car!…. but we will return as its a nice pub and maybe this was just an unfortunate error on your part… i think you should have come to discuss it yourself and apologise to us and the other customers who were also very unhappy"
