I was initially very happy with my starter as was my boyfriend; however I was horrified when I found meat in my VEGETARIAN hot and sour soup. I thought I tasted some meat but my boyfriend said it could have been anything but later found another piece which he thinks was pork. I was even more disgusted when they came out to claim it was bamboo shoots twice, as it clearly wasn’t.

As it was my boyfriend’s birthday I reluctantly tried the other course which thankfully were meat free but we both found the meat and vegetarian options very mediocre. Not somewhere I will ever be returning to.

DISGUSTING !

My fiancée and I had a lovely weekend away and decided to end it with friends and family with a Chinese at paddyfields. We had been there before and the food was 'ok' but nothing special. We were all pretty hungry and the food came in about 4 minutes after we had ordered (6 main dishes) which seemed a bit too quick. We started dishing our food up and one of us found a RED AND BLACK MAGGOT!! It was either a maggot or another bug of some kind...

When the owners were told they took the dish away and came back explaining he thought it was just a lettuce leaf, did he think we were that stupid?

There was absolutely no apology so we stood up and walked out, leaving all the food un-eaten and very annoyed. I WOULD NEVER RECCOMMEND THIS PLACE AS SOMEWHERE TO EAT!! it is more of a place to buy your fishing bait!!! The owner (bloke with the high voice) told us to go to then papers and wirte a bad review on him as he didnt care.

There is always a warm welcome, friendly service and excellent food. We often eat here with family or friends. The staff are particularly attentive of my elderly father. We all love it! About to celebrate our daughter's 21st there too!

Excellent service - wonderful food This is definitely the best chinese food I have ever eaten - and I have been to many in my life. The staff are superb, very attentive and they really know how to look after you. Simply excellent!

I have been going to this restaurant for years, and so have my parents. It has become any excuse, whether it be a celebration or just for the sake of wanting to eat gorgeous food. We always go to the Paddyfields Chinese restaurant in Hertford. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The hosts are superb, and they never fail to entertain us! I thoroughly enjoy visiting, and I would recommend it to everyone!

Paddyfields has been my favourite Hertford restaurant for a long time, I remember coming here as a child on special occasions and a quiet meal here with my boyfriend is still peculiarly special.

The food is fantastic, with a good traditional range of dishes from peking duck to grilled dumplings (my favourite) to start, with some lovely sizzling dishes and tasty sweet and sours, noodles and a delicious lemon chicken.

The staff are friendly and always helpful (giving us a cork to take home our half finished second bottle of wine was especially nice).

Generally a pleasure to eat in. The only thing is that if you're looking for a rowdy, exciting place to eat this isn't it. It's a quiet, low key restaurant, and there really isn't enough space to go mad.
