Absolutely amazing breakfast - fast hot food and helpful friendly staff 😀 100% coming back
Our favourite place to eat in the whole world. Food off the chart delicious, staff are the absolute best and atmosphere user cool
100/10 on service. Amazing food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were so lovely and really went above and beyond. They kept checking in throughout our stay and gave a really sweet birthday cheesecake to our table. Food was so tasty and well portioned. I’d recommend the halloumi fries. Will definitely be coming again 💖
The food was fabulous and staff were amazing. 100% recommend for brunch and lunch.
Great food, great quality served by the lovely Emma, all staff are wonderful and very attentive. Love the river side location and pink decor. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back in the near future.
A lovely family experience with delicious food, great, friendly service and good value for money.
We come to Darcy’s regularly. More often on a Sunday morning for breakfast but have enjoyed lunch and dinner there before. It’s always lovely, dogs are welcome, the food is always good and the staff attentive and friendly. The setting is beautiful even when it’s raining as it was today. Keep up the good work guys x
I came here for a Sunday brunch with my friend, we were greeted straight away and asked if had a table booked, which we hadn’t and although it was very busy, there were able to clear up a table and get us seated quickly. The staff were friendly and attentive. Food portions were very good for the price. Really enjoyed my experience here and will be back again 🙂
I come here regularly for brunch, and always absolutely loved the place! This time we came on a busy rainy Sunday morning for brunch, we didn’t book a table and came on the off chance, managed to get a table straight away! The staff are so busy with plenty of tables, and rushing around to serve everyone! They always have a smile on their face and happy to accommodate any requests! Will be back again as always! Thank you!
I love Darcy’s been here many time never disappointed. Always a table when we’ve booked or if we havn’t. Friendly staff can’t do enough for you. Food is amazing as always 5 stars as always
Food was delicious. Love the presentation of the food & decor. Staff were very polite. We had delicious tapas. The chocolate cake was lovely. Nice to see the owners there too. My little girl accidentally knocked her glass off the table & it smashed & they were so lovely about it. We will definitely be back 💖
Wonderful atmosphere and top tier service. Came in the other day just for a drink and the staff were all so friendly and attentive, even getting my dog a pup cup with little biscuits on it 🥺
Really lovely place with friendly people. Brilliant food - the tapas is great! ☺️
We visited Darcy’s for the first time on Sunday and I couldn’t fault it. The restaurant itself is lovely, food delicious and all of the staff were wonderful especially when it came to engaging with my children. We went there to celebrate my little boys 2nd birthday and they even gave us a little free dessert. We will definitely be visiting again!
Darcy’s in Hemel Hempstead is an absolute hidden gem. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a cute and cozy atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. The menu is bursting with options, and it’s such a treat to find authentic Spanish flavors so far from Spain. Every dish feels crafted with care, and there really is something for everyone. The brunch is a particular highlight—clearly a local favorite—and it’s easy to see why. For anyone looking for a spot that combines charm, comfort, and delicious food, Darcy’s is a must-visit.
Such a lovely Spanish influenced restaurant with impeccable service, great atmosphere and amazing authentic food. If you just want to pop in for a coffee and cake that's also top quality. All staff members, Emma, Donna, Kieran, Nicky and the whole team is very friendly and professional, giving great suggestions for food. If you are at Apsley pop by, you won't regret it. 😊
Fantastic food and a great selection of drinks. Staff are very welcoming. It's dog friendly and they are treated just as well as us. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend. Thank you to Richard who looked after us - he was AMAZING
Delicious food and drink! Super dog friendly, wonderful atmosphere and wonderful staff. Have been previously for lunches and today we tried dinner which was just as amazing! Highly recommend!
Lovely food, staff went above and beyond for a birthday (we only brought the cake on the stand) and everyone was so friendly!!! Would definitely recommend!
Amazing experience in Darcy’s bar,cocktails (mixed by sienna,by far the best negroni) dj,lovely evening,attentive professional staff
great cocktails, very nice place to spend time, I'll probably bring my girlfriend here
The evening before my wedding, Darcy's was the perfect setting for my large family group. Organised in advance and it was so easy to communicate everything from advance orders to other detais. The staff at the restaurant and via email or phone we're so nice. Food was perfect and everything was tasty. I am definitely coming back for brunch. Thank you soooooo much x
Held our wedding brunch here. Was absolutely lovely from the moment we walked in. The table was decorated (which they hadn't even been asked to do), the guys working were so friendly and happy for us and nothing was a problem. The atmosphere was great and the food superb. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you
A great place, beautifully decorated. The service was quick and very friendly🙂. Our dog🐶 even got some water, and the pizza was truly delicious and unique thanks to the addition of honey🍕🍯🐝
Beautiful food, Beautiful decor and beautiful service. The spanish meatballs took me straight back to Spain, and the croquettes were the best ive ever had. Was served by the lovely Emma who was cool calm and collected, very helpful. Fully recommend!
Very disappointing, food was ok, king prawns with lemon were bland, everyone else enjoyed theirs. However, the service was awful. We had barely sat down and the waiter was there, had to come back for drinks order. After that it went really downhill, after waiting an appropriate time had to ask to order. Finally came and was quite surly taking the order. 2 people still eating and he took one plate, a pet hate of mine. Waited and waited for table to be cleared and to order coffee. Nothing! So paid and left. Wouldn't come back.
Very accommodating staff; delicious meal, well presented, with generous portions.
From the moment you walk into Darcy’s , the place feels warm and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and made great recommendations. Special thanks to Kieran and Ryan who always go above and beyond. The food was amazing fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Darcy’s has that special mix of great atmosphere, delicious food, and genuine service that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend! Thank you Mary x
Perfect spot for a little mother daughter date day, lovely food, always great service in a hidden gem of Hemel.
Fantastic menu options. Wide choice for everyone's tastes and preferences. Very very popular place with a great atmosphere
Went for dinner tonight at Darcy’s. Was really lovely!! Great service also. All delivered quickly. Would highly recommend 🤩
I came here for my birthday breakfast and it was lovely! The staff were amazing, especially Rich and were so attentive! Lovely atmosphere and a great spot to go!
Lovely place, furnished a tad feminine and foods a little bit pricey, but such a nice location, and staff are excellent, patient, friendly, also pooch friendly.
The staff are lovely,,Nikki,Emma and Nancey especially! So welcoming..the drinks just kept coming for a birthday bottomless brunch. Highly recommend!!!!
We stumbled across this beautiful place during our cycle trip along the canal. It has a lovely ambience about it, riddled with floral displays. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and super attentive, we felt very well looked after. Thanks so much! 🙂
sunday lunch was our first visit and it was one of those finds you just can't wait to go back to. perfect position along the union canal, ample parking either in the marina or across the bridge by paper mill. food is delicious and very nicely presented, a wide choice for all and reasonably priced. staff are super friendly just how service should be, dog friendly and they are opening a new section next door which is only going to add for the atmosphere. Whether you are sitting inside or outside the decor is beautiful, really highly recommend.
