Apple Tree Gerrards Cross in South Bucks

Came today for a meal (27th October 2024) table of 5 one with a wheelchair. Shown to the table all fine apart from being dark on our table when we asked for the lighting to be turned up as we couldn't see the menus we were told it couldn't as it was auto and couldn't be changed, it was so bad we had to use torches just to see the menus!!. Ordered the drinks and asked for ice in one of the drinks no ice!! Asked again still no ice 😒. Had to ask about the chef special board then we Ordered our meals,then told there was no fish(2 people had ordered this) so ordered from the chef special board (hake)and asked if one could be changed from potato to chips. Just before our meal was brought to the table the server said there couldn't change the chef special (Hake) and had to order a separate bowl of chips(disappointed!!). Ordered puddings and one of the dishes didn't come with the drink again asked again and eventually it came no sorry. Then told we had to leave the table as we had been on it for 2hrs!!. Was not impressed by the whole experience and my partner and I come here often with our dog in the dog bar which is normally fine. It all seem very rushed!!!.

such a lovely lunch out! The service was great with our server Harry, food was delicious especially the cocktails which were made by Hugo

Great food and service from Harry.

Had an amazing time here, was served by Harry and had fabulous service with an ambient atmosphere. The staff were a pleasure and will definitely visit again!

We come here often and we get wonderful service from all the staff and Harry in particular is amazing! I recommend to everyonr

Harry our waiter was amazing. Attentive without being intrusive. Superb food and reasonably priced, I would highly recommend.

Anissa was 10 out of 10 she needs a pay rise

We met friends at th8s pub and had a great lunch, drinks and coffee. We were served by Harry who looked after us very well and wish him well in the future. Xx

The food was amazing and the Service from Anissa was excellent !

Wonderful service from Anissa. Enjoyed our evening and a delicious meal, really enjoyed the new menu options! Exquisite chocolate bomb!

Stopped here to meet my brothers for a quick drink before going elsewhere. Apparently didn't play the hide-and-seek game to validate parking, as a week later I got a £100 parking fine. I'm not sure I'd have come if I'd known my half of lager was going to set me back more than the concert tickets for the evening. I'm sure the food is good and the ambience is nice, but that's ensured I'm not telling anyone to come here.

Harry was excellent looked after our group , helpful and service very good

Harry was an amazing waiter! Very charismatic aswell as being helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back. Thank you

A nice little pub/restaurant just a little bit different from the normal and very nice. The service was really good attentive staff but not overbearing checked in regularly with us and kept our drinks full ! I had the trio of meat my only slight criticism was it was not hot ...it was warm at best but still tasted really good Had the cheese for desert and was really nice ! I little more expensive maybe than some however I think it was worth the extra great atmosphere great staff we stayed in the bar after for a few drinks...

Amazing staff, amazing food. You are wonderful. Thank you to the chefs Marcin Sylwester and Wojtek. You are amazing.Wioletta Zurkowska ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I used to live in Gerrard's Cross in the 60's and now live in Colorado. When I pop home each year to visit family, we always stop at the Apple. They have great food choices and service, great location and attention to detail. The venison when available has been superb. We thoroughly recommend for anyone to pop in for a great meal.

Had a great night the food was amazing and I was soooo looked after by Harry and Adam! Will definitely come back again.

The service was as sloppy as the burger.

This place honestly deserves 5 stars but not the best experience on a night out here. The staff were young lads, they were a chef down but service was well off.

Great selection of choice in both adult and children’s menu. Comfortable surroundings and attentive staff. A pleasurable evening.

We had a lovely celebration meal here for a group of 13, all food was served together and was well presented and tasted great. Staff were very friendly and attentive too.

Been previously and loved it. After last night not so much. An extra £5 for 2 scallops with the belly pork felt a little steep. Our starters and cocktails took forever to arrive. Blonde waitress then almost chivvied us on our starters as our mains were ready. It appeared chaotic last night. Staff did not appear to managing the tables adequately. Finally hot chocolate machine was turned off at 2130. Apology was in passing and substitute was tea. If this was my first time I would not be recommending. This is the 5th time I have been here in 6 months and am hoping last night was a blip.

Love you Pam. Good food good service. Recommended.

Great food and excellent service

Over an hour wait for food. Pretty hectic

Staff were really friendly and helpful. I had a perfectly cooked steak. The atmosphere was also really relaxed. I would highly recommend.

The service was excellent: the wait staff were really helpful and knew the menu well. The food arrived in good time and was very well put together. A really enjoyable meal.

Lovely bar lunch with our dog snacking too!

Fantastic pub Especially non a hot sunny day The garden is beautiful Food was good and the drinks were flowing

We had a lovely Father’s Day meal, staff was friendly and helpful as we did have our 2 year old with us! Gold was delicious

Came here for my birthday with the famalam. 10/10!!! Best steak I have ever had!! Service was phenomenal the whole building is just lovely. The manager is so attentive. Real asset to the building

Lovely place for an informal lunch...good value too

Plenty of outdoor seating in a pleasant garden. We only had a starter each but both were delicious (scallops; goats cheese). Service was friendly and efficient. We ate outside but inside looked very inviting.

Very small portion of meat for a Sunday roast. Be careful when you go to pay by card. If you don’t want to leave an additional tip on top of the service charge, click on other and enter zero. Decent size parking which is free but remember to enter the registration plate when you enter the pub Roasted potatoes were bland. Roast chicken was tender but bland.

Driving from Birmingham to Kent we decided to find a nice pub for lunch and give the services a miss. So glad we did. The Apple Tree on the A40, hidden gem of a pub. It had a nice garden with a fair amount of tables. The menu is really good lots of choice. We shared baked Camembert, very tasty for main we both had the linguine with prawns and scallops. £20.50 each May se a little expensive but it was well worth it. The scallops and prawns were good to perfection, the chorizo add spice and even more flavour. Hats off to the chef for this one. The car park is an odd shape and quite narrow in places, the spaces seem narrow too so take care.

Roast dinner ok but nothing special. Had to send roast potatoes back as some were black and rotten in the middle. Overcharged on bill but this was rectified.

It was our first time but certainly not the last. The place is beautiful, cozy, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the Sunday roast was the best I've had. Also the bread... it was devine. Overall, I couldn't think of any constructive critisism, it was an excellent experience.

Friendly staff, gorgeous decor, delicious food. Good value 2-course lunch menu

Went for a walk and stopped off for a pint. Nice.

I have been a regular for sometime but yesterday I was disappointed. Reason being that all the main fish dishes were not available . In future it would be helpful at the booking stage to alert customer .

Lovely place but I agree with other reviews - it isn’t at all clear that you will get a £60-£100 parking fine if you don’t enter your vehicle registration and this was not flagged at the bar by the server either. A warning to other customers! Do contact the pub if this happens to you unexpectedly

Thanks Darryl and team for your hospitality

Thank you Darryl for your hospitality

Amazing venue, thank you for your hospitality Daryl and the team

Amazing service, lovely outdoor dining, really great venue for a wedding. Thank you, Darrell and your team

Great venue and good was outstanding!

Poor service and not informed of parking restrictions so received max parking fine

Amazing service thanks to darryl for looking after us

Came for a family meal, and food was amazing and the service was great! Thanks to Suzzie for making sure we was wel looked after

Food was amazing as usual. Portion was disappointed. Service was ok.

Great roast nice staff will return

As usual everything was great. Still the best Quality & Value Sunday Lunch with atmosphere in the area.

We visited theApple Tree today, 31st March. The food was absolutely beautiful but sadly, the service really let the experience down. We stood in the lobby waiting for our table and watched at least 4 members of staff completely ignore us. We had to say to a staff member that we were here for our table to even be acknowledged. Someone on our table ordered a Bloody Mary, this was prepared for them with no questions asked about how spicy they want it, the drink had a lot of tobasco sauce but was replaced without it straight away. The plates were left on the table for too long after us finishing the meals and our drinks took a long time to come to the table. The restaurant was probably half full so it wasn’t overly busy. We watched two female staff members chatting while our drinks were waiting on the bar. This review is purely constructive as it’s a shame about this when the food is so amazingly presented and is absolutely delicious. I would love to return to The apple Tree just with better service. Thank you for a delicious Easter lunch!

Lovely food and excellent service as always. Would recommend for a nice meal out.

I've eaten here (with my family) twice in the last few days, I was impressed. Friendly staff and a well rounded menu with something for everyone. OK, I'm pretty certain that most of the food is prepared off site and whilst there is nothing wrong with that, it does mean they'll never get five stars from me. The food we ordered and was served was good quality, nicely presented, decent sized portions, and used good quality ingredients. Many places these days are milking their long-suffering customers and blaming it on "cost of living", I felt the The Apple Tree prices were at about the right level for the product. The place is nicely furnished and clean. Car park is a bit cramped and make sure you "check in" your registration on arrival or risk a charge. It's unfortunate the owners have felt the need to contract with a rip-off cowboy parking outfit to 'manage" the parking.

Unbelievable never again!!!!! My partner and I visited this establishment yesterday to celebrate our 5th year anniversary which was completely ruined!! The evening started off quite pleasantly with newly appointed staff member Maria from Canada as our waitress. I asked Maria to remove a pot of mayonnaise from the table which she subsequently spilt over my black coat. She then began to sponge off the mayonnaise leaving my coat sopping wet. Maria was very embarrassed and apologetic about whole incident. Maria said she would find out how i would be reimbursed for my coat. After which a foul mouthed manager called Susie came to tell us we were rude to her waitress which was a lie!!! to be honest we barely reacted to the event. Susie contined to berate my partner loudly then threw a business card at him then stormed off. At that point my appetite was ruined and could no longer eat as I was so upset. The food was removed and bill presented in which my partner asked for manager to discount the bill in regards to my coat. He first asked for an apology in which Susie refused and then started shouting and accusing us of rudeness to her staff and that we did not want to pay you just could not make this up we could not get a word in as Susie was full of her own importance. We have never been so humiliated ever!!! I would like the thank the lovely young lady who was a waitress who apologised to us just before we left Thank you so very much.

Excellent Saturday lunch today and service to match from Katie.

Very welcoming restaurant, great food and service. Great atmosphere and not noisy.

We had a quick, impromptu lunch. Arrived without booking and were lucky enough to be seated straightaway. I had a salt and pepper squid followed by fishcakes and both dishes were very tasty.

The food was great. Full of flavour and hot and just really excellent. Me and my daughter are both chefs and thought the food was really good.

Out in a large birthday group so was expecting a few problems. This was not to be the case. Both Darrel and Maria were both very attentive and made us feel very welcome. Having a few children with us they understood keeping them happy also was key to an enjoyable evening. Kids meals came out hot and the same time as starters. All meals were of a good size came to the table hot and looked appetising. We had a varied variety of meals all 13 were happy with what was served. Glasses were never empty either with water or alcohol will Be going back and will Definitely recommend to friends and family

We visited today (09/03/2024) for an early Mother’s Day lunch. Visiting was myself, husband and 2 children (2 years old and 4 month old baby). - Parking is on site which is great and the time we visited appeared to be a good time as there was space right outside - which was convenient for us with the pram. You can register your car upon entry and don’t have to worry about a limit on how long you spend because it gave us until the next day. - Decor was beautiful. - Food was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. Drinks selection was great. I couldn’t drink but did really want a cider so it was great that they had an alcohol-free cider option. We ordered the salt and cracked black pepper as well as the chicken liver pâté for starter and both were delicious. We then ordered the maple glazed pork with scallops for mains and this again, absolutely delicious! For our daughter we ordered the sausage and mash and this went down well. We even asked if the sausage and mash could be brought out first because our daughter was getting cranky from getting hungry and they did, so this was great. For dessert, I had the trio of desserts which was amazing! My favourite was the berry pavlova. My husband had the trio of ice cream with triple chocolate cookie - he said this was very nice. - Service was brilliant. Staff were so attentive and friendly. Our daughter was getting rather cranky but they were really accommodating and understanding. At one point, mine and my husband’s food was ready but the gentleman noticed I was about to feed my son so he asked if we wanted him to keep the food warm until we’re ready so this was such a great touch - very thoughtful. The young lady serving us for the duration was lovely and friendly. The gentleman who helped us with paying the bill was also very friendly, he even said he apologises if anything in the venue was the reason for my daughter crying, but we reassured him it was just because she had got hungry at that point. This was comforting as parents to know that people can be so understanding. Feedback - the only thing I want to mention is that the temperature was very warm in the dining area. However, this did not take anything away from having an enjoyable meal together. Overall, we were very happy with everything and definitely visiting again in the future. Thank you to all staff there for such wonderful service, and compliments to the chef because the food was amazing!

Great evening out for a family birthday. Maria was excellent!!

Thank you so much Darryl for your service

We had a work party and Tom and the team looked after brilliantly. A huge credit to the business and we will be back again! Thank you once again Tom is brilliant!!!!

We received a very warm welcome and the atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant was very homely. The young waitress looking after us was exceptional, she was very friendly, polite and attentive and made us very welcome. The food we had was first class, there was an extensive variety of choice on the menu so we were very spoilt. We all agreed that we would definitely be going back to the Apple Tree.

Delicious roasts and the chicken burger was amazing! Really nice atmosphere too. The tables are spaced out nicely.

First evening visit, food was nice and it was good value Could have done with more waitresses, the two I see were run off their feet . However, they were still extremely polite and nice. I see the restaurant is indeed dog friendly. Personally I strongly disagree with this for hygiene and allergy reasons

I came here on the weekend with my family, the food and service was excellent - our waitress Katie was very friendly and attentive

Nice cheese. Darryl was lovely :)

Katie was so lovely, nice atmosphere and great service thank you!

Excellent food and good value for money. Different enough to be interesting. Well recommend as a place for a nice evening meal without breaking the bank.

All was good. Professional and courteous staff serving.

Lovely restaurant, great food & great service from Harry, will definitely be back!

Wonderful experience, fantastic food! Would highly recommend!

I came here recently and I was thoroughly impressed by the service. Our wonderful waitress Katie was attentive, friendly and professional. The food was great for the price, and there was an outstanding variety of beers on offer!

Good location and decor. Had the fish and chips which was lovely.

We visited the Apple Tree for a family event and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Top notch service from all of the team, including their performance with one guests allergy order. The interior is cozy and modern with nice mood lighting and enjoyable songs. Food was amazing as per usual, the toilets were clean, the bar had a fun atmosphere, and compliments to all of the staff who served us with a smile and helpful manner. Would certainly recommend a visit!

Amazing management food is 10/10

Where do I start, Christmas Day at £90.00 per head what a disaster and never will I do it again. We were told to arrive 15 minutes beforehand which was 2:30 Christmas Day, our table was not ready we had to hang around the bar area for around 30 minutes until I found a staff member to prompt them about our table 10 minutes later we were shown to our table in the corner real rubbish atmosphere. Around 20 minutes later there was a starter thrown on the table the staff didn’t explain what it was and as I bit into it the bread was stale and the dish was cold so I sent it back I was then told it was suppose to be cold and it was complimentary. Half an hour later we still had not been served or even acknowledged so we got up and left. As we left I received an email to say that if we didn’t attend our table it would be cancelled but we had just spent the past 30 minutes sitting at it. I was so disappointed considering it was Christmas Day it was not acceptable and I would like a refund of £30 that we paid. I look forward to hearing back from a staff member soon.

Food was terrible. Was not what we expected at all for the price. The garlic and mozzarella pizzette was dry and so bland. The mac cheese side was like plastic. The Camembert starter was tasteless. Overall not a good start to the year so we won’t be returning for food.

Yes very good as usual. We frequent this place and new waitresses Maitri, Olivia and Darryl were great

We came as a group of 10 for my mum’s birthday celebrations. The service was amazing; very quick and polite waitresses (I believe their names were Katie and Maitri) and helpful managers (Sam and Olivia) when we came in earlier to set up and bring a cake. Everything was in stock and presented very well and delivered quickly. My lemon sole and crumble was lovely! Would definitely recommend for any occasion; helpful staff, amazing service and nice decor.

Lovely meal, polite staff. Will visit again

Nice place. Food is good. Been coming here a while.

Food and ambiance fine. Service patchy as we had to ask the whereabouts of one starter and then the desserts. Nice young lady served us, probably not her fault, but the kitchens.

Excellent meal…..The only problem was a draft from somewhere causing my lunch to go cold very quickly.

We were served by Soli, he was very helpful and kind. The food was amazing and the portions were quite large!

A pint then off sat by the real fire 🔥

Delicious food. Chose a mini dessert with coffee and not only did I get my chosen dish of pavlova with berries but also a macaroon with my drink.

Hannah was great. Food was great. Thank you 🙏

Food excellent , great service from Maitri

Great food & excellent service from Hannah, thank you for a lovely evening!

Food was nice, service was extremely slow and they have several signs leading up to the front door saying tradesman in work clothes not welcome. If we hadn’t had a group meeting there would have turned around and left. Will not return. Would hate for them to have a plumbing emergency!

The pub in the nearby town was closed so we followed another couple to The Apple Tree. Glad we did as the food was very good and the service of Maitsu, Sam was friendly and efficient.

Nice surroundings, service good, quality of food not upto the standard one would expect for the prices paid

Scallops and duo roast were bith excellent as was service from Olivia

Lovely delicious meal with friends with exceptional customer service Maitri

Great service and atmosphere all evening. A huge thank you to Darryl for going above and beyond - asset to the restaurant :)

Maitai was a great waitress very attentive.
