Great dining experience! Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff, very warm ambience (and it was freezing outside!), and really interesting food. Not the cheapest, but all 6 of us thought it stood up very well against city centre restaurants.

My wife and had a 6.30 booking on Sat 04/01/25 and as it was early the restaurant was quiet but at about 7.30 it was getting to be fairly busy The food was excellent we had BRIE, LAMB CHOPS, SEA BASS all cooked to perfection and I can highly recommend it as probably the best restaurant covering Enfield Borough Top MARKS

We had an enjoyable lunch at the 'spirits tasting ' event, the starter was particularly good. We were given a voucher as a gift and had not previously dined at Haywards. We enjoyed the fixed lunch menu and the presentation from Adam representing Essex Spirits. However, we would have preferred a wine tasting experience as we rarely drink spirits.
