The Practitioner

Celebrated my Sister’s Birthday there last night and it was by far the very best experience!
Absolutely EXCELLENT!!!!! Way beyond expectations and certainly way beyond the average experience of today. The staff are really polite, helpful and responsive. My Sister chose the buffet option for her party which was absolutely excellent! The best food I have ever had actually!
- vegetarian dishes were kept separate from the meat options and put onto a separate table. They kept their word every step of the way!
A HUGE “Thank you” to Anna the waitress who offered to help me with setting up the balloon arch and decorations earlier in the day! She is super helpful and thoughtful. I had to leave before completing the decorations and Anna promised to complete them and attach it to the section entrance. When we arrived at the venue she had completed everything which I really appreciate. It could not have been achieved without her help! My Sister loved the decorations!
The security are also vigilant, pleasant and helpful! I can definitely recommend this classy and upmarket pub! Thank you so much!

Best experience ever! The atmosphere, the food, the drinks are all wonderful, but the staff...the staff is what makes the pub stand out from the rest. Helpful, nice, smiling, kind. They are exceptional.
As usual customers, we go every other week. We like it so much that we celebrated two birthday parties. Wonderful experience. Thanks staff, you made our day.

Booked the practitioner for a mum & baby brunch there were 23 mums and 24 babies they were brilliant super helpful organised the food was great, if you are planning an event I highly recommended especially Gabriella who helped with organising everything even shipping extra highchairs for us! We will defo use for our future events 5 stars all round

Good place to have some food.

The flatbread with flatiron steak was really good, as was the chicken skewers. Off the gluten free menu an excellent burrata salad was good.

Beautiful place. Service is 10/10, all friendly staff and the food is so good! I got a florentine for the brunch - didn't take long and made fresh!

Last night I celebrated my retirement with 4 other friends. The bartender, Quinn and bar attendant, Teresa, were fabulous!! Quinn knew how to make my American style vodka martini and made a Cosmopolitan for me as my second drink (even though neither was on the menu). My group became acquainted with both Quinn and Teresa and found them to be charming, who gave excellent service and made my celebration all the more warmer. Quinn seems to be an excellent mixologist and I look forward to visiting again to taste a new concoction. Teresa is a wonder woman at 58 (looking 45) sharing her passion for fitness, gardening, and her family. All in all, they both made our time visit like being "at home."

Becoming my regular since moving to the area. Lovely, bright bar with a nice outside space.
Great FlatIron steak 🤤

Surprisingly good food and friendly staff all make for a good option if eating out in Hertford. The courgette pasta and mushroom bowl were particularly good.

Best place in Hertford for food nice and clean and even know I work here my colleagues are best people I ever work with as everyone are my friends.

We went for breakfast 3 of us. The place is nicely decorated very clean and put effort in details. The service was excellent friendly helpful waitress with good manners. The food quality was good the only improvement that chef can do is the presentation of the English breakfast . Instead of one pile , spread out on plate.

I eat at The Practitioner in Hertford on a regular basis, and I must say it is truly one of the best places to eat, especially for vegans like myself. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and received exceptional service from Victoria, who seems to have an incredible knack for understanding and connecting with her customers. Victoria's knowledge of the menu and her ability to recommend dishes based on individual preferences is impressive. It's clear that she genuinely cares about providing a memorable dining experience.

As a vegan, finding restaurants that cater to my dietary preferences can sometimes be a challenge, but The Practitioner exceeded my expectations. Their chef, Shannon, creates an outstanding vegan beetroot burger that is simply exceptional.

I would wholeheartedly recommend The Practitioner to anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming restaurant that serves quality food. Whether you're a vegan or not, you'll find something delicious to satisfy your taste buds.

I recently attended the Mamma Mia brunch, and although this was not the most enjoyable experience of or us, I would just like to say Quinn is wonderful and an absolute asset to this place.
We attended the Practitioner often and never have issues so when we were unsatisfied his compassion and professionalism was outstanding- to both myself and my mum. It was a clearly a stressful day for him and his staff through not fault of their own but the way he handled it was fantastic.

So glad to have found a place that is doggy and baby friendly. Went 3 times within a week as we felt so welcomed by staff.
Food is good but please bring more veggie options 🙌🏼

Went during the day on a weekday 2 4 1 cocktails they were lush, nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
The best thing was the staff, how cool and welcoming were they!!!! Big smiles, cool energy, and super friendly has made me and my friend want to come back soon.
Vicky needs to be made permanent supervisor.
Hope recommends the best cocktails, is a laugh, and super cool.
Theresa has a permanent smile on her face.
Give them all a pay rise management!!!

The Practitioner is the perfect place for our corporate drinks. We didn’t order any food in advance and Quinn was able to accommodate our last min needs. Very fast and efficient service from Quinn and the two new team members who were training

I booked my work Christmas Party here, because I'm a regular for a Sunday Roast dinner and it was a great success! The food was lovely, especially for 3 courses at £35 and the cocktails are fantastic! I cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work for making the experience great. We had no issues and friendly communication throughout the process. We had our own section of the pub with 30 of us, which was nice and then could join in on the dance floor after. I would definitely recommend here for any party :)

We’ve been going for Saturday brunch for years, you’re guaranteed the warmest welcome from Vicky and the team.

Always accommodating with some delicious vegan options, Shannon the chef is very creative and knows exactly how we like things, he gets it right each time.

Without doubt our favourite place to eat in Hertford, dog friendly, great atmosphere, spotlessly clean - it’s a cut above the average. Highly recommended.

I came here for the drag brunch. It was amazing I had so much fun the best one around. And I just want to say thank you to the amazing staff specially the handsome one Quinn who keep the drink coming

Such a great pub! The staff are super attentive. Always great you with a smile.

The best part for us is the fact it’s dog friendly. Not only that, but the staff LOVE dogs in there. They always totally fuss ours when we’re there.

The food is great too.

Totally recommend.

Went to The Practitioner yesterday it is a great bar with delicious new small plates. Don't miss the halloumi! And the service was brilliant. Thanks you to the manger Quinn who made the experience amazing x
