The Viking - West Watford

Welcome to The Viking - West Watford, a destination for hearty meals and comforting dishes, nestled at 73 Tolpits Lane, Watford. This cafe has established itself as a local favorite, renowned for its enticing range of fish and chips, succulent kebabs, and flavorful burgers—all served with generous portions and a dash of personality.

When you step into The Viking, you can’t miss the inviting aroma of freshly cooked seafood and grilled meats. The highlight of the menu is undeniably the Fish & Chips. Their large cod, presented with a secret recipe batter, is a must-try. Priced at £14.70, it's more than just a meal; it’s an experience that brings the essence of traditional British cuisine to the table. Opt for the Fish Supper, a classic offer that includes a portion of chips and a choice of mushy peas or curry sauce—both quick recommendations that showcase the cafe's commitment to hearty, fulfilling meals.

Beyond fish, the diverse kebab options bring a touch of the Mediterranean to Watford. The Viking Special Kebab at £22.40 is a generous platter featuring chicken shish, lamb shish, kofte, and doner meat, all served beautifully with toasted pitta bread and fresh salad. This dish is perfect for sharing or treating yourself after a long day.

And if you’re in the mood for something crispy, their Flaming Chicken Tenders (£5.50) offer a delightful kick, adding a bit of zest to any ordered meal. Vegetarian options, like the crispy McCain’s Vegetable Burger (£9.00), ensure that everyone's palate is catered to.

A quick tip: Don’t overlook the Oreo Fritters (£2.50) for dessert. They are the perfect sweet finish to an otherwise savory feast!

While The Viking excels in many areas, customer feedback sometimes reveals room for improvement, particularly in consistency. Some patrons have expressed disappointment with non-traditional offerings, such as pasties or 'saveloys' that miss the mark. However, the cafe's friendly staff is keen to ensure that your dining experience is memorable—as they serve food made from passion and pride.
