The past few years have seen Potters Bar's restaurants options expanding at a rapid rate. Nowadays, you'll find much more than kebabs and curries (although we'll get onto that in a bit). For starters, there are some wonderful family dining venues in town that will delight young and old alike. Relish Real Burgers on High Street pile up prime beef, fresh salad, homemade relishes and decadent helpings of cheese to create brilliant burgers. And with variants inspired by Greece, Mexico and Asia, there will be burgers to excite even the most experienced fast food fans on the menu.

Other leading eateries in Hertsmere are pushing the boundaries of Indian cuisine. It might not be a massive town, but Potters Bar has curry restaurants that make trips into Brick Lane obsolete. Whether you're a commuter who needs something to look forward to after work or you need a place to meet with friends, places like Pubali and Zeera will fit the bill. Order scorching hot fish masalas, platters of pakoras and samosas or veggie sides to create your own South Asian feast - and enjoy the company of the people who matter.
