Biggles in South Bucks - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a pleasant afternoon at Biggles in Denham. We had a very friendly warm welcome on arrival. Service and food were exceptional and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We had the lunch time menu, and to be fair there was an amazing choice. Wine list was extensive from average wine to fine wines. I would certainly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. I know I will return in the very near future. Overall try it..

Table small, waiters were leaning over some of our tables guests to serve food on a very hoot sweaty day. Uniforms poor fit and needed washing. Food had little taste. Will not return.

Oh dear. Been going to Biggles for over 20 years. Sunday lunch was bland. Only served cabbage and carrots with our Sunday Roast. No peas, no cauliflower cheese and no ratatouille. Our plates looked empty. I don't like cabbage but had small portion and I had 4 carrots my sister had same. That was all that was left on serving dish. There were only 4 of us. Salmon being served with roast potatoes wasn't good, one would normally like bew potatoes or creamy mash. Riast chicken dinner was just a piece of chicken with a piece of bacon balanced on top. Very poor. Dessert portions were smaller than usual. If you are going to cut corners on selection of veg being offered with roast dinners and small portions of desserts you will lose customers. Such a shame we have always loved this restaurant and we go back over 20 years as patrons.

What an amazing place we stopped here for lunch and even though we had not booked in advance we were warmly welcomed served drinks whilst a table was made available. The staff are just amazing and so very professional too. Well the food is just out of this world served beautifully and tasted devine our party of four were truly impressed . I would 100% recommend this lovely restaurant for its location , the friendliest staff who provide excellent service and top quality food . Well done team Biggles .

Wonderful meal with friends to celebrate a birthday. Food was delicious as usual. Staff were friendly and professional providing attentive service despite the restaurant being full. Have been coming to Biggles for 10 years now and have never had a bad experience.

Indeed, like other reviews, stepping back in time. But it’s great to see good clean white tablecloths and neatly prepared tables. Very fresh bread and butter awaits. We went for the Sunday lunch menu, which at £28.95 for a three course meal by today’s standard is excellent value. Starters good, mains good and the beef itself was great quality. Only downside was that it got cold very quickly. Good old fashioned sweet trolley with many options. This venue seems to have a good local following as the waiters seemed to know most of the diners by name. So, all in a all, good value and traditional service.

Very disappointing Sunday lunch. The food was bland with no seasoning. The cabbage was soggy and swimming in butter and the food was lukewarm. We were a large group and were made to leave after 2 hours which was annoying as we hadn’t been told that when booking. Not cheap either. Won’t be returning.

One of the best restaurants i have been too, many times. for family and friends a great menu with many many dishes. I can't recommend the staff high enough.

A great authentic restaurant- a throw back to the 1970s with lots of aviation memorabilia. We have been many times and it’s consistently excellent. The toasted bread and butter is the best!!! Fabulous service. If you want a minimalist slick modern restaurant with funky music this place is not for you.

I would like to thank Gustal and his team for the best Christmas lunch we’ve ever had. Service was impeccable, as was the food Everyone enjoyed, and we will definitely be returning.

A friend recommended Biggles to us. When I read the bad reviews about it I was concerned but we had other input which suggested it might be worth a try. So we went for Sunday lunch (Dec 10). It was very crowded and the staff managed to deliver the food with efficiency and friendliness. The set menu starters were okayish - we had the prawn cocktail and deep fried mushrooms - not exciting but okay. The Sunday roast was fine - great Yorkshire puddings and they gave us extra gravy when we asked for it. The puddings were a bit boring - I didn't like the tiramisu and my husband didn't like the trifle. The creme brulees were fine. It cost £165 for 4 people with a few drinks thrown in. I noted there were a lot of older people there, like us, who felt comfortable in the surroundings and with the old-fashioned choices on the menu. If you are in to more modern food and surroundings this is NOT the place for you. If not, it's a quirky destination - by Denham airport - where you can get a nice lunch.

The previous 2 reviews are spot on ….This restaurant was such a terrible disappointment , we took friends for a birthday celebration and on arrival it not only looked closed and unwelcoming, we were struck once inside just how old fashioned & antiquated it was , rather like a bygone era. The food which was a set menu was only ok nothing special , it was the style of service which was really poor , one could say the waiters positively ‘hovered ‘ over us rushing our menu choices …. What was worse was the feeling we should ‘eat up ‘so they could clear away, infact it was so uncomfortable once we had finished eating they made us feel they wanted us to leave ….so we did exactly that ! I don’t enjoy being told when & how I can eat bread or when asking for yet another salt cellar that didn’t work being told there was salt in it .Duhh ……. I’m not stupid ! We certainly won’t be bothering to return again .

The setting for this restaurant is within Denham Aerodrome and is set within the building next to the Aerodrome. Very 1990s in it's look. The seating was very warm with no air conditioning so that became a problem for some at the tables. There was a sweet trolley which contained tiramisu and black forest Gateaux . So none of these items were chilled before being eaten later surely a health risk. That was the second thing that alarmed myself. The starters prepared were very nice and in most cases well presented. After one of the party had left some calamari , he was questioned why he had left it and was there any thing wrong. Surely that's something your mother says to you when you leave something and you are 7 or 8 years old. The main courses came out and were all well received. After the birthday cakes were put out and consumed it was time for the bill. There were 12 of us in the party made up of mainly couples. I went up to the bar and spoke to the manager and asked if I could pay for what my fiancee and I had eaten and drunk. What then happened meant that this was the first and last time I will visit Biggles. He looked back at me and stated was I joking. I replied that I was not and then he said quite loudly in an abrasive manner we can't do that. This was witnessed by several other members of our party. I do not come to restaurants to be talked to like dirt so due to all of the things this will be the only time Biggles will be visited Shame on the management

Very strange. I drove a long way to come for Sunday lunch. Upon arrival we drove around and around looking for anything which resembled a restaurant. We discovered a bungalow with restaurant sign above front door. It did not look at all welcoming and looked a bit like something from a horror movie. Very eerie and Creapy. Sunday lunchtime but most curtains were shut ant the open curtain just has some creepy looking silhouettes, leering at us. No welcoming behaviour. Just a bit spooky. We felt safer no going in, sadly. Another group of people arrive but came to the same conclusions. Some locals appeared and advised us of a better restaurant the other side of the airport. We all went there for some cheap council food, which the locals seem to enjoy. Strange area.

We have been to Biggles many times for Sunday lunch when the previous owners had it there was always good service and always very busy you had to make a reservation well in advance for Sunday Lunch. On this occasion I didn’t have to book in advance there was no problem with availability also with the previous owners you had set times given. Again I choose my own . The service was terrible down to the cutlery and plates not be placed properly on the table . The food was okay we used to have better they used to bring the trolley around with the desserts on it used to be a bit awkward as it was always so busy so sometimes it was a bit difficult to push through. Now you are told what is for dessert which we found was a little difficult to understand a menu would have been better. Also to our surprise the restaurant remained partially empty I noticed on the piece of paper on the table near where you come in there was only a few bookings written down. Unfortunately we won’t be returning . Which is a shame as we have experienced good times at Biggles

Food and service excellent, seafood crepes and duck a la orange to die for. Never had a bad meal here.

This meal was terrible. The ambience of the restaurant was awful; very brightly lit. One waiter was lovely; the other was rude & unfriendly; just threw the food down; my beef wellington actually bounced on the plate! My husband’s calamari was rubbery & greasy, My prawn cocktail was watery. This restaurant is stuck in the past & honestly needs to try harder with the prices they charge.

They advertise as open on their website on Tuesday 12:00 to 14:30. This was my partners favourite restaurant when living in London and had not been for 13 years. We had to go to London, so when we was finished we drove 40mims over to find they was closed. Website says they weee open, no update to say they was closed. Opening hours on door said they’re as open. Windows upstairs were open, was like they couldn’t be bothered to open the restaurant today. Total waste driving all the way out there, we won’t bother again. If your going for lunch you might want to phone and check they have bothered to open that day!

Had the pleasure of eating lunch at Biggles last Friday. We hadn't booked and although they were hosting a large 80th Birthday party, they found us a table for 2 ( the last available). The service was friendly, prompt (especially considering the amount of diners) and very reasonably priced. The portions were great and we both left well fed. The menu is traditional and has the option of a set meal (good options) or A La Carte. Thoroughly recommend this little gem, especially if you like watching aeroplanes and helicopters.

Our daughter booked this for Easter Sunday. Was looking forward to having a meal. I had the beef Wellington the steak inside was cooked to perfection but just sliced mushrooms on top . The duck was so so . Our daughter meal of fish was ok , son in law steak looked perfect. Our grandchildren had the Sunday roast which also looked good. No choice of different vegetables so only had what would be served on a Sunday. Biggest let down was the fact that the children paid full price not a children's menu. Because our daughter was paying and she did not want to complain, i just kept quiet.

Had lunch in the past in this popular restaurant and returned for dinner in a party of six. We found the staff not particularly friendly nor helpful, a long wait, mediocre food, poor presentation and service. Desserts were inferior to what one buys in a supermarket.

Lunch time Sunday too busy, too slow, noisy. Beef not freshly sliced. Suspect reheated in artificial gravy. Could not taste beef. Vegetables good though. Will not be returning.

Lovely food however, one member of staff was rather abrupt with one of our party when she asked for something, which was very uncomfortable for the group. Decor badly needs updating and pkease bleach the ladies toilet

Situated off the beaten track. A fascinating return to the 1960s. However good service, menu and wine list. Pleasant atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Brought my dad here for lunch as it’s his favourite restaurant. It really does feel like you are stepping back in time from the decor to the menu and even the sweet trolly - hence I guess why it attracts a lot of older clientele....

The food and atmosphere was excellent. Staff were polite and professional. The biggest problem is finding the venue. Their advert shows post code UB9 5DF but it should be UB9 5DE. The first one will take you into the Airfield car park. So misleading and...

Very disappointed with the service. Felt like we were on a conveyor belt. Didn’t get a second drink as the waiters were too busy rushing around. The food was ok

Went in for a sunday brunch. Location is nice, next to an airfield for small planes and such. Good parking, good food. Great staff, very friendly and they make your plate at the table! Dessert trolley was fantastic as well!

Superb meal. Table of 12 and not a single diner had a bad word to say about it. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked. The menu is vast yet they still manage to send everything out quickly and at the same time. The venue...

What a find! Our family of five visited on Tuesday evening before flying home. Front of house were so welcoming, friendly and attentive. The Escargot and frogs legs (cooked at the table) were the perfect starters! The latter on the house, because I couldn’t decide between them. The mains were delicious. When our six year old asked for her dessert to look like a dog the chef made the most magnificent bespoke ice cream dessert with wafer ears and a cherry nose! The food, wine and service were tremendous. Jasper is still talking about meeting Gaspar. We most certainly will return to this magnificent restaurant! Thank you guys!

We had heard about Biggles and finally managed to visit. We weren't disappointed with the quality of the food of the exceptional service. We had a fantastic Sunday lunch with the family and were never rushed. The restaurant pride themselves on the attention to detail.

Excellent bar, so many drinks on promotions Very helpful staffs, live music with great pool view. It's a nice place to hangout with friends and family. Want to visit again for sure.

Excellent Sunday lunch and exceptional 5-star service at the Biggles restaurant at Denham aerodrome. Best by a country mile.

A real gem of a place! The owners and staff are always so friendly, and extremely efficient. We were there on a very busy day but the service and food were excellent, as always. An enormous, varied and delicious menu.

Great restaurant -fabulous menu -spoilt for Choice! Great service by great staff - very traditional & friendly Restaurant - had a lovely evening - thank you ❤️

This is my favourite restaurant! Food is always delicious, the menu is vast, so much to choose from. The ambiance is great, I love the buzz of the restaurant! Juan and his team make you feel so welcome and go out of there way to ensure you have a enjoyable evening. Even in these unprecedented times with Covid, they have managed to provide the same quality of service. Look forward to visiting again real soon.

Near perfection. Food, service and ambience are top drawer. This is rapidly becoming our favourite restaurant.

Great little old fashioned restaurant. The food is so delicious, the service is wonderful. They catered so nicely for the vegetarian amongst us. It’s a real treat dining here and I look forward to coming back sometime soon.

First visit since reopening. Previous was our wedding anniversary in Feb. This time my 75th. Had prawns followed by steak. Succulant and cooked to perfection. My wife had the set menu with salmon which is same high quality and excellent value. Portions are ample. Service friendly and efficient. Cannot fault it. Will continue to there.

We had a takeaway roast dinner today due to the restaurant not open & I can honestly say it was absolutely delicious & the Tiramisu was so fresh and melted in your mouth. It was £15 for 2 courses, absolute bargain. Will definitely be doing that again. Thank you Biggles, can’t wait for you to re open.

Four geriatrics out for lunch (who hadn't booked) were accommodated by friendly staff who moved tables and chairs in order to do so.Although it was a very wet windy day this uniquely situated restaurant was full. We chose from the set menu which was extremely good value. The food was very good and so was the service.Every intention of going again.

This was not my first visit to Biggles and it probably won’t be my last. My family love the place and go there at every opportunity. The friendly staff give it a family atmosphere. The menu is huge and old fashioned in a good way. The place is very 1980’s, unpretentious with generous servings and a dessert trolley! Food is delicious...

We allways meet at Biggles where we get exelent servce from Juan and his team we also get made very welcome and have first class food! In all the time I have been going there I never had a bad meal and we see other peoplle we have met there who also come back time after time!Joe Dawson

In a nice setting on the edge of the airfield, very warmly welcomed and seated in a smallish but very comfortable restaurant. Service good and food first class. My first visit hopefully not my last

I recently visited Biggles for lunch with friends. The food was well cooked and the portions were generous. The service was good and friendly and we will return to Biggles again sometime.

Impeccable service and delicious, well cooked food. Our first visit here and we will definitely be back.

Excellent food. Very good service. Friendly staff. Loved the old fashion way of desert display on trolley...old way of dining. Makes a change .

First visit to ‘Biggles’ with friends who are regulars. Super atmosphere - rather like dining ‘at home’, well managed and staffed. The 70’s point of reference is the menu which, whilst comprehensive, includes dishes of past times. The food was excellent, nicely presented, sensibly portioned and priced. A place for a return visit.

Perhaps slighlty old-fasshioned now, but the fodd was very good, and the service attentive. Very busy on a Wednesday lunchtime, so worth booking

Visited as part of a large family gathering. Very impressed with the variety of dishes. 14 people tried a mixture of starters mains and desserts. Everybody loved their meals served efficiently in a lovely location. Everything was perfectly prepared, hot, and tasty. The desserts are also superb. Good selection of drinks and a wine list to suit all tastes. Can't wait to revisit to try the rest of the menu. An absolute classic restaurant, wish I'd found it sooner.

Lovely food as usual. All the staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Lovely food as usual but very crowded so made it difficult for good service. It was a warm sunny Sunday!!

We always leave a review when we visit somewhere, this is to give an accurate up to date snap shot of a place.

Very traditional. Tasty food. Carlos is a great waiter. Good experience overall and definitely recommend when staying in the area.

We were a group of 6, who booked for a Friday evening. The setting is in an airfield and the planes take off while you are sitting outside on the grass having a drink before you go in for your meal. The staff are so welcoming and nothing is a problem for them. The menu is quite extensive and has something for everyone. I chose the rack of lamb (for 2 persons) for my mains, which was gorgeous. I had the hot advocado for starters which was also really good. The staff were attentive but never overbearing. The place itself is quite old fashioned, and it has a 1970's feel to it. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Thank you so much to the management and staff of Biggles restaurant at Denham Aerodrome.

this is without a doubt the best restaurant in the area The waiters are excellent always attentive and cannot do enough for you. The menu is extensive super quality. I cannot speak highly enough about this restaurant

This is still a silver service restaurant that heats the plates and serves the food at the table. reasonable prices

Biggles menu reminds me of England a few years ago--a classic menu that will bring back fond memories. Very good food and and excellent staff make this an experiece you need to experience!

I have been to Biggles several times for a meal and each time has been excellent. The steak is to die for. Lovely thick slice of fillet steak with no fat at all. Melts in your mouth. Vegetables are also lovely. Would recommend it to anyone.

Ate here with friends. The restaurant was well recommended and lived up to expectations. Not one to miss. You’ll need to book though as it is so popular

Restaurant located on a unique place, with a nice staff and a complete menu, with traditional dishes and Spanish ones.

If you are looking for good old fashioned English food, this is the place. As soon as you set foot in the restaurant, it feels Like you have stepped back in time. The menu is from the 70ies but the quality of the food is very good and so is the service. We went on a sunday and had the sunday much menu. All the dishes were tasty. My only criticism was that you can only choose 1 dessert from the sweet trolley. It would have been nice to be able to choose 2 but just be served smaller portions of each.

We hired out Biggles on Saturday afternoon for a belated wedding celebration for 35 of our friends and family, and it was the best choice we could have made !

It couldn’t have gone better. An excellent meal, cooked to perfection. Very good service, attentive waters, who treated you as old friends and made you feel very welcome.

Four of us had lunch here for a family get together. A lovely friendly atmosphere - we sat at a window table, overlooking the airfield. Friendly staff and service with a smile. They certainly know their regulars here. The food was excellent, I had Beef Strogonof, which was very nice. Dessert was a throw back to the 1970s with a sweet trolley. I chose the Tiramisu, which was delicious.

We came here for a family birthday lunch, and were impressed by the food, service and fun factor. Slightly retro styling, which is just what we wanted.

My friend was puzzled about a gift for me. No such problem for me a lovely lunch at Biggles! And it was a hit. Perfect sunny day a cool G&T; while we looked at the menu. Everything as always. Superb. Service food cleanliness . Never hurried. The Sweet Trolly mouth watering. Whatever you choose tou will not be dissapointed. Can't wait until the next time.

I don’t get it…I went to Biggles at the weekend with a larger group and so in preparation I checked out reviews online. Despite the good rating on Trip Adviser, the photos were not at all inviting and my expectations were low and they certainly met them!

Recommended by our friends, and they were right! Be prepared to step back in time, but mostly in a good way - even the weekday prices are quite nostalgic at £21.50 for lunch or £24.50 for dinner (both plus 10% service) for a very decent set menu with a choice of six different dishes for each of 3 courses, plus an extensive a la carte menu if you want it. With this you get friendly and attentive service, and a pleasant busy-ish atmosphere. The food varies from good to excellent, and value for money is hard to fault for someone more used to Central London prices. We will return. Good Show, chaps (and chapesses)!

We booked Biggles for 4 people as we have been here many times before and not been here seen Manuel had sold the business. So we thought we would try it as we were told noting had changed.

I met some friends here for dinner on a Wednesday evening and we had the most fabulous meal - we chose the fixed menu for £24.50 and it was worth every penny. The waiters are attentive and excellent at what they do, and the food was wonderful. As soon as you are given a piping hot plate you know you have a chef who cares about food and we were not disappointed. I had the best ratatouille I have ever tasted, the vegetables are properly served at table and are superb, and the sweet trolley is to die for. There is a lot of fish on the menu and a very eclectic mix of other dishes from round the world, although the families who run it are Spanish. This is not a cheap place to eat but it is definitely where you will have an immaculate meal to remember and I would go there again like a shot when next in the area. I cannot recommend it more highly.

First visit for a year and glad to say the service and food remain of the highest standard.

Abouslety outstanding food, wouldn't eat anywhere else! I have eaten in many top end restaurants but have never been served the quality of the food available anywhere else.

Had a meal with a group of friends and found the staff very friendly. The food was good but not outstanding. I would describe it more as good pub food not fine dinning. The journey there even with satnav in the dark was challenging to say the least but arrived eventually. The house wine was not very good so we order an expensive Rioja as an alternative which was excellent but expensive. Spending over £50 per head I would expect a better dinning experience.

This place is a time warp! A 1930s house adjacent denham aerodrome with a 1970s fit out and service tight down to the sweet trolley! Superb food, large portions and an Italian style waiter service. All that is missing is the Blue Nun or Black Tower wine and a Ford Granada in the car park and you would think you had stepped back 4+ decades - in a good way! Well worth a visit.

Went to Biggles for the 1st time with friends and what a wonderful restaurant. The food was excellent with a really extensive menu, the service was very friendly and the staff could not do enough for you. This restaurant is now certainly on our list and my wife and I will certainly be returning soon.

It's old fashioned but to me that's part of the charm - went for our Anniversary, had pre dinner drinks, 3 courses each with a bottle of wine. The whole thing was wonderful

Out of 400+ reviews this is still in my top five. Very busy at weekday lunchtime. Elderly clientele who still dress up for lunch. Wonderful latin staff, great welcome. Critics are right about the 70's vibe but delicious food. Set meal great value with plenty of old favorites followed by a proper sweet trolley. wish I lived nearer.

The service at Biggles is what is great. It is almost like going to a family where people are very happy to see you again.

Fantastic choice of food and great quality with welcoming staff. Excellent service, always good to visit. Been many times and will keep going back.

Visited recently with our neighbours. First time I have been back for a long time and unfortunately the 'throwback to the 70's' vibe' is still there. Food was okay but the general ambience/decor of the place is just so outdated. Depressing evening. Will not be returning.

Excellent meal as always. Just love the food and location The staff as usual professional and attentive

Had a very enjoyable evening at Biggles with friends who dine there regularly. Plenty of parking on arrival and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Service throughout the meal was efficient, yet at the same time we were not rushed. We ate from the set meal which was excellent value for money. I was undecided as to what to choose as the options were well thought out. In the end I decided on smoked salmon wrapped prawns, followed by veal as a main course. The sweet trolley was heaving and I chose oranges in brandy, always a favourite. The main courses were served with four vegetables, I particularly like the fried onions mixed into the potatoes, all the portions were generous. Four of us dining from the 3 course meal, a bottle of wine and coffees for everyone worked out to £30 a head including a tip, very good value.

Eleven of us here for Sunday lunch. Impeccable service from smart friendly waiters.

Have eaten at Biggles a number of times, and every time we receive quality and friendly service from the staff and fantastic food. They cater for everyone and have a great menu with a number of choices. The food is always full of wonderful flavours. The staff are extremely welcoming and always on hand to help assist.

I have eaten here before and was always happy to recommend despite it’s 1970’s style.

The food and service are still excellent, may appear a little dated with it's white fiver and review from late actor John Mills on the wall but I thought it was superb.

This used to be a super place but it just hasn't changed - if you want a pricey, loud eighties dinner then this is the place- otherwise stay clear

Awesome lunch menu so hard to choose as all dishes from starters to sweet trolley were amazing, can’t wait for our next visit. The welcome from owner and staff made us feel like regulars and made the whole experience a day to remember.

A very old fashioned restaurant in service, decor and menu. Not necessarily a bad thing, in fact I have friends that won’t hear a bad word against the place, unfortunately it’s not my cup of tea.

What a fantastic restaurant, like going back in time, when service was excellent and the food was classically cooked and silver served. Cannot fault any aspect, from the friendly professional service through to the perfectly cooked food...shall return on our next visit to England

Another fantastic meal at Biggles. I love this place. Wonderful food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Have never been disappointed.
