Summary
Brothers James & Tom Bainbridge are behind this popular pitstop, on the village green, where the “food is above average for Hertfordshire gastropubs”, being split between relaxed pub classics and more adventurous British cuisine; the “ambience outside is particularly great”, and you can have “a lovely meal on a hot summer evening under the pergola”.
Summary
“Calling The Tilbury a gastro-pub rather undersells it”, agree fans of James & Tom Bainbridge’s village green fixture – “the food is inventive and nearly always hits the spot perfectly”. Scores are dragged down by a significant minority, though, who complain that the cooking (“much hyped locally”) is “all show and no substance”.
Summary
“Always on top form” – James & Tom Bainbridge’s village gastroboozer is “more than a pub, and deserves its popularity” owing to its “lovely” food.
Summary
“Nothing I can fault” – one reviewer encapsulates the enthusiastic tenor of reports on James and Tom Bainbridge’s “lovely” village gastroboozer, where the food is “consistently imaginative” and service is “very attentive” too.
