Broad Leys in Aylesbury Vale

Lucy was a wonderful waitress and host! As always the food was great but it is lovely to have service to match.

We love it here. Always great service, lovely atmosphere, warm & cosy. Lovely food but what really makes it is the staff - so friendly and welcoming. We held our wedding reception here as we came out of the Covid pandemic (April 2021) and have been back for celebratory occasions ever since. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely meal in the resturabt. Lucy was very pleasant and was wonderful in providing a lovely service An absolute treasure

Confirmed verbally a booking for our group - then, many hours later, sent a cowardly email stating that they are full. Lucky I spotted the email as this as the booking is for a Club Xmas Party. Poor.

I had my 50th birthday party in the marquee at this beautiful pub and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. Shona, Charlie and the rest of the team really went above and beyond to look after us and ensure the party went smoothly. We even got given some last minute table cloths at no extra cost to simplify things. The food and drinks were also very good. Thank you for making my party a wonderful and enjoyable experience.

Had lunch here today and left feeling very impressed! The food was great quality, service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was so nice. Prices were reasonable too!

Lovely meal, great staff, very spacious and comfortable restaurant

We came here for a family meal. The food and service was amazing. The staff were so friendly. All the food was served fresh and the selection on the menu was brilliant. They had good vegetarian options too. The pub had a very warm atmosphere. We would definitely come here again!

Lovely Sunday roast dinner… perfect for a family catch up. We had the roast beef and really good portions… although a little too full for dessert. Thanks Gemma for making grandad feel looked after!

We had a lovely meal with nan Lucy our server was brilliant

I had the pleasure of visiting Broadleys recently, and I must say, Sharona is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, her warm smile and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. She went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was nothing short of fantastic. Her attention to detail and willingness to help with any questions I had truly set her apart. If you're looking for outstanding service, Sharona is the person to see at Broadleys! Highly recommend

The food is pretty mediocre. The service is okay and the prices are high. Not worth the money.

Stopped in at the Broad Leys one morning after noticing they were advertising breakfast. Was definitely not disappointed the breakfast was awesome and i will be certainly be back given a chance. Will did me a full English and it was spot on and the price was more than fair for the quality of the food i was served. Thanks again mate, see you again soon hopefully. I didnt use the hotel so i cant comment but if its as good as the food, you won't go wrong.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to William for the amazing service at the restaurant today. Not only did he serve us the most delicious roast dinner, but he also kept us entertained with his Scottish banter. Can't beat good food and good laughs, am I right? If you ever need a recommendation for a great meal and a good time, William's your guy. Thanks for making our day, William!

Dissapointed ......the change in staff on certain days is so noticeable, went today for Sunday Lunch , atmosphere not the same and the food very different, ordered trio of roast came out with no bread sauce no crackling no apple puree as described, no mention of it missing just lumped a bowl of cauliflower cheese down for some reason. Roast is pork crackling ? Why was it missing of everyones roast that came out too.....Roast potatoes like bullets. Went to toilet notice says taps not working but they were, shampoo for hand wash in holder and toilet rolls empty, Tables cleaned and dirty cloth and cleaning fluid left on table with clean cutlery. Not sure about going back at weekend, could explain why pub for a sunday was super quiet.

Nice pub, quiet and nice atmosphere , pet friendly. Staff are nice though not much choice in mixed drinks. Closes at 11pm

What an amazing place, I'm stopping over for work but it feels like a posh dinner out at the weekend. The food is really good, I highly recommend the flat-iron steak...you won't be disappointed

Me and my wife celebrate our marriage at the broad leys. The food was stunning and the service was amazing! The staff were so helpful letting us set up the day before so we had everything ready. And really affordable too :)

Absolutely delifhtfully spoilt with service and being looked after , the place was spotlessly clean and staff were immense, it was my partners birthday and he was made to feel truly special. The food was presented well and was tasted amazing , relaxed atmosphere and lovely afternoon.

Wow outside of London this has to have the highest drinks prices I have come across. Glasses of wine on another level £9.50 to about £14 a glass. This is a pub in Aylesbury not Mayfair!. I recently got an email from their mailing list saying drinks prices had gone down as they had listened to their customers, really. We wont be going back at those prices.

Great food and service from Connor and Eugenio. Will visit again. Thank you

Went for lunch and the staff were amazing, attentive and welcoming. Thank you Eugene and Ashley 🙂

Staff rude, but apparently it was busy, so fair enough! Food overpriced. £5 for a cup of McCain oven chips. Served to the wrong table with no cutlery, no condiments and no apology. Could have gone to Spoons for that 😕 Not the first time we've been disappointed with this pub. Wouldn't come through choice and would put off our friends if they suggest going there again.

Broad Leys hosted a leaving lunch for 20 colleagues and we thought the service from Charlie & Eugene was exceptional! Nothing was too much trouble and our food order arrived piping hot and delicious! Thank you for making this such a memorable send off for our colleague. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend - go and visit - the food was brilliant!

Went in for breakfast and must say Charlie who served was polite, professional and welcoming which made the whole experience even better he’s a credit to the company and wanted to give credit where credit is due - keep up the good work young man - also the toilets are awesome 🤣🤣🤣

The rooms to stay appear very nice, but our room had a thoroughly worn out headboard which wasn’t apparent until we went to go to bed as it was concealed by pillows when my son in law viewed the room originally. It looked like it had been attacked by a dog! And couldn’t stay there. The hotel has no night staff at all, so there was nobody to complain to. We even tried phoning the out-of-hours contact number but it was disconnected. We checked into the TravelLodge up the road which was perfect (and much cheaper). We returned in the morning to complain and check-out. The duty manager Connor was shocked at the state of the room and was apologetic but when we later spoke with the general manager Sharona she was completely dismissive of any issue and refused to offer a refund. Fortunately, we had paid with a credit card, so the credit card company will refund us and dock the money from the Broad Leys.

Staff very friendly and helpful but food left a lot to be desired. Had Sirloin Steak with Peppercorn Sauce, chips etc. Steak was extremely tough with loss of approximately 50% with gristle. This very disappointing as price was very expensive. My wife had Beer Battered Fish with chips. This was ok. There are too many other pubs to warrant going back again to this one. Shame!

Absolutely stunning pub staff amazing and the manger sharona is 10 out of 10 with her customers.. the food was excellent roast dinner melts in your mouth. The garden is so well looked after..

Fathers Day so a special occasion and a busy day to say the least for a lot of the hospitality businesses. We booked another restaurant who let us down massively. We called The Broad Leys at 14:00 to ask them to accommodate us, the manger went away had me on hold for less then 5 minutes and said it may be a quick sitting but we can accommodate you. Being let down by the other restaurant, with a wait for almost 2 hours for food and two kids in tow, we took it. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was excellent. I have not had a roast quite like it for a long time. A massive thank you to the very friendly staff and manager for making sure I could feed a well deserved Dad his Father’s Day dinner! 5* without a doubt!

Excellent visit, lovely staff and food. Our dog was welcome. Thank you!

Brilliant service, food good and Sherona brilliant looked after us well. Thank you for lovely meal.

Wow, what a nice hotel and the breakfast I'm not even talking about it. I loved it, you have to go, it’s great.

Come here for Sunday lunch infrequently. Food a good and well priced. My last visit was a shocker but will over look that one. Dirty/dusty wine glasses on the table was quite off putting.

Staff amazing and food superb! Will definitely visit again. My partner loved the food too and he is very fussy! Sharona especially stood out and made us laugh!

I like the place, Eugenio is very nice and very friendly. Good food

Was served by Eugenio, 11/10 would come again! Food was great too!

A lovely, cosy establishment. The food was very nice at a fairly good price. The staff were friendly, especially Eugenio who gave some great recommendations. Will definitely be back!

Very expensive, wine 30+a bottle at least £9 a glass upward. £12.45 for a quiona salad with a few tomatoes, cuecumber and chopped apricots the portion size was that of a starter. The restaurant was empty. Food was OK but left feeling ripped off.

Great place to stay, staff very friendly and accommodating. Excellent food at good prices, definitely recommended.

What a beautiful place. ROOMS are amazing, STAFF are phenomenal the food is incredible, so thank you so much for my experience. I will come back as soon as possible. If anyone gets a chance, stay here as it's the best in Aylesbury. I CAN PROMISE THIS TO YOU ALL.

Great pub, good food, very good service, poor choice of drinks, understaffed for weekend... and garden needs attention.

It is my next door pub but never visited until now. Sadly when I went it was bit a late therefore couldn’t explore their food however the pub is nice and cozy. Staff are friendly and chatty at the same time will leave you alone if you wanted some time alone with your loved one in a quiet corner. Place is just walking distance from Aylesbury town.

Nice pub, drinks well priced. Outdoor area is good too.

My husband had the sirloin steak cost around £25, to be medium rare which in fairness looked as though it was but sadly very chewy. He had a few bites then left it. Asked early on how meal was… said steak very chewy, waitress apologised and walked off. At end of meal with most of steak still on plate with half the chips, asked again if everything was okay again replied very chewy , replied, said normally people say our steaks are very nice. No offer of trying to rectify the issue with the steak.. a minute later presented with the bill. We loved the style of the pub, and happy with the accommodation but food disappointing

The stay was so lovely, the staff were very welcoming. The room was beautiful, we stayed in the superior one, definitely recommend. We will be back this year in the summer!

I don’t even know where to start

My husband and I came for lunch as he used to come with colleges. Friday lunch time, very quiet. Waitress very good. Wanted over 30 mins for our food. I had the butternut squash, chicken and Avocado salad. Half a chicken breast, no avocado, but some was bought out when I said. No pomegranate seeds no lemon and herb dressing. The salad was dressed in a non flavoured oil. I feel like I've been given a wedgie! £17 for a salad with half the ingredients missing. Very disappointed.

I would say it's great, friendly staff, tasty food, good banter, it's our second visit and as we got family nearby we will stay again

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was of good quality.

Really nice food! Lovely staff 👌

Service is terrible since they changed owners...

Hotel with spectacular charm in every sense Highly recommended If you can visit it

I visited recently with a friend who needed good facilities for clinically vulnerable. They could not do enough to accommodate us and made us feel so welcome. My friend felt so relaxed and so we'll be going back in two weeks.

Great time at this pub. Went for a Christmas meal with family and friends. Had a wonderful time

Slight problem with ordering but subsequent service was excellent!

Team Christmas meal. Food was scrummy, and the atmosphere was lovely. We had an L shape table for 12 people which was perfect as you could chat ro everyone!

Food lovely but service very poor not enough staff on to look after customers

Pleasant visit.. for meal and drinks

Amazing 3 course festive lunch with work colleagues. Went on a Monday lunchtime, so the restaurant was quiet, but it was lovely and warm, and the waitress was very friendly. The food was great and substantial portions. It was my 1st time visiting, but will definitely return. Probably my best works Christmas lunch out for many years!!

Lush gaff! Great mulled wine. Love the staff and food is banging.

After having some terrible food during our trip, we came across this place and booked hoping for the best. Booking was good and could be done online. We were not disappointed at all. The food was fantastic! The menu was varied and well thought out. We went there two nights and both times we found the meals were cooked beautifully and were delicious. The kitchen was very accommodating and allowed my daughter to change the vegetables as she does not like peas. They did this both nights without making us feel like we were causing an inconvenience. The staff were really friendly and professional. Overall, we were so impressed and can't recommend it highly enough. It's a definite must try place.

Visited with friends on a Saturday afternoon. Nice ambiance, busy but not too crowded. Great service. Food was fantastic. Gluten free choices were amazing and the gf Fish & chips best I've had. Desserts were all creatively and beautifully presented. Very tasty and had wow factor. Moved to outside seating for coffee. Really lovely afternoon.

We had dinner here last night. We have been before and food generally good on past visits. Not so last night. Lumpy undercooked camabert to share. Lamb with herb crust was crust less and bland no flavour even with the 'jus' the asparagus was nice. Nothing appered to have been seasoned. I had to add salt to my meal which i never do when eating out. My husband was convinced his fish was frozen but was assured it was not . Hard to explain why it was watery in the middle maybe just undercooked. We both only ate half of our meal and headed home early. The service was ok but no attempt to recompense for the less than mediocre meal when wr expressed our dissapointment. On the upside the wine was lovely and the chips were good. Won't be rushing back. Disappointing way to spend our 19th wedding anniversary. One star for the wine and one for the chips.

We chose to eat in the Broad Leys restaurant and enjoyed a truly memorable meal. The menu choices were not plentiful, but most items were special and different from your normal pub grub, with carefully selected and well-balanced ingredients, cooked to a truly superb quality. Both my partner and I enjoyed our food to the full. The service, too was faultless and very friendly. Here is an example of the care and attention the chefs achieve here: After ordering the cheese-board for desert we were served with wonderul cheeses at ROOM TEMPERATURE, not straight out of the fridge as in most places, resulting in the local blue cheese and the Brie just melting on your tongue - beautiful!

Food was okay the atmosphere was lovely I was served by a lovely young lady named Ava who was so helpful, will be coming back again.

I booked to come here for afternoon tea as a surprise birthday treat for my friend. I was expecting a wow moment with a touch of luxury . I was really disappointed despite all the staff being polite and helpful. The sandwiches were served on a chopping board which had obviously actually been used as a chopping board! It had black marks and knife marks on it. The sandwiches,cut into triangles,were nothing remarkable but ok.This was followed by 3 cakes each which were lovely but again were presented on a board with a chip in the corner. No dainty tea cups here. Mismatched cups and saucers. My friend had a cup of coffee half if which was in the sauce!Looking up from our table we noticed that we had been seated under the open windows to the toilets and kept hearing the hand dryer!Overall not such a treat as planned.

The location is great a load of outdoor seating off the main roads and loads of cover as well as some sponsored gazebos. The food is normally good outside, fish, steak, burgers dominate but there are other options. I tried the Karzu curry, which was disappointing to say the least. Two sluces of aubergine, two sticks of fried courgette in a curry sauce with rice. Not worth £14, my companions chicken burger was fine.

We arrived about mid day and the pub was empty . We waited a long time before our order was taken and a very long time for our food and it was very expensive . £24.50 for steak and 10 chips is too much . I won't be back .

My husband, with Parkinson’s and I enjoyed a rare evening away from home since Covid appeared .As we arrived at The Broad Leys, my husband on an electric scooter, we were met by two very kind members of staff, who helped us stash the buggy and ushered us in through the shortest route. We had a delicious meal and were treated throughout with every care and attention.The experience was so positive that my generally reclusive husband thought we should dine there on a regular basis!

Visited for lunch with friends and can’t speak highly enough of the staff and food. I had the sea bass from the ‘specials’ menu and was the first to try the soy sauce meringue - it was amazing! Beautifully cooked, perfect portions and was quickly prepared. An inspired combination. Will definitely be returning. Well done to all for making our celebratory lunch so enjoyable.

I have stayed here last year and really enjoyed it but not this time. We stayed in the pink room this time the room was small but nice bathroom. We had a problem with the air on which was leaking so it was repaired quickly however the next morning it started leaking again at 3am so we had to get up And put towels down so not much sleep. We reported it again the next morning but no real response staff were more interested in getting ready for the football. Poor service for drinks and at breakfast. Cereal was brought the same time as my main breakfast. Tea etc not replaced in room. Clean towels daily but room wasn’t serviced during the 2 days. We will not be returning.

Absolutely terrible food (lukewarm on arrival to table). The burger meat was tasteless and the children's nuggets were overcooked (borderline burnt) - definitely not suitable for a child! We had to remove the charred oily batter so that our little one could consume the "nuggets". To make matters worse, the service was appalling - staff were openly complaining about their supervisor at the bar throughout our meal. It took 20mins for our table to be CLEARED after finishing meal - only resolved when a man pointed this out to staff! We then faced a further 20 minute wait for three pieces of dessert (which were ordered at the same time as the mains). We requested to speak to a senior member of staff about our concerns and were presented with an unkempt, scruffily dressed man who reeled off a list of excuses ranging from "we are busy" to "coronavirus guidelines" and finally ending with "the app says there is a 40min wait" (bear in mind we didn't complain about the wait for food - this wasn't an issue). He had no interest in listening to what we had to say. This pub used to be fantastic - we have previously enjoyed some fantastic meals here; although this experience means we will never visit this establishment again.

Have been here twice in the last couple of weeks. You must book as it gets very busy. First time was excellent and you order your drinks at the table through an app and actually it’s quicker than normal waitress service, would think this is a good idea to continue. Had some of the nuggets which were so tasty and really enjoyed. Stayed there for the night. The bit i didn’t understand was you had to leave the premises at 11pm, not sure if this is a change since Covid, but you are ushered out with plastic cups by security. I think the staff are coping really well under the circumstances. Second visit on 5th June was slightlyDifferent as it seemed obvious some of the staff ( I think the manager with the reddish hair) seemed a little more stressed. Understandable under these more difficult times. Toilet and tables etc kept very clean.

Food and service were good plenty of options for seating inside or out. Orders on website, worked fine except starter arrived with the main. We will be back

Booked 2 nights at Walton Cottage, so glad we stayed for 3 instead! Paige booked the cottage for us and was super helpful, when we arrived we were greeted by Charlie who is amazing, he has a genuine love of the hospitality industry and made sure we had everything we needed for our whole stay.My husband arranged for flowers and champagne to be delivered to the cottage, such a lovely treat.The cottage is stunning, an absolute gem, words cannot describe how perfect it is.A continental breakfast delivered to the cottage which is delicious.We are at the pub, fab food.Genuinely feel like we have made some friends here, will definitely be back. Thank you for perfect birthday treat.

We came here for a work lunch meeting after being locked down for months. The outdoor area is really big, spread out and quite nice for a spring catch-upThe food was nice we enjoyed it, being able to order through the app was easy and convenient too

A really super meal - delicious & a great menu to choose from. Lovely family evening out with super service. Highly recommended.

You may drive past The Broad Leys thinking it was just another pub, but this is a pub with a difference!I stopped and called in as I was staying in Aylesbury on business and wanted to get out of my COVID-19 restricted hotel. I was not disappointed in fact I was knocked back by the ambience, the welcoming staff and the food......oh my goodness what a find! If you like fine dining as very reasonable prices this is the place to go. I have eaten in Michelin star restaurants and this can proudly step up and match some of the best cuisine I have ever tasted. The menu is varied and there is a special menu which is different every night. I know this because I returned for dinner on 3 occasions in the same week. The staff are exceptionally friendly and nothing is a problem and only too happy to alter menus to your needs. They are also very COVID-19 conscious and make you feel safe and protected. A jewel in the crown of Aylesbury !

Fantastic first dinner out of lockdown 2.0. Staff were so attentive and friendly and the food and drinks were unbelievable. Highly recommend!

4 of us had a lovely meal the night before lockdown 2. Really busy - staff really attentive and we all enjoyed our food. Fish perfectly cooked - moist fish with a light crispy batter. Hubby had steak - perfectly cooked as requested - medium rare. Desserts didn’t disappoint- recommend their creme caramel. Reasonably priced - will definitely eat here again.

Had to work whilst eating dinner. Staff happy to let me get on. Nice whitebait to start. Just the right shade of crispy with a great dip. Stuffed chicken main was lovely including dauphinois spuds. Choc brownie a tad dry but ice cream set it off nicely. Good couple of pints - especially the local Rebellion brew. Service was great. Really enjoyed the meal

Stayed in a lovely room , could not fault it at all .lovely building. Was surprised at the location Thought it was in the country not on a busy road Breakfast was nice enough . Orange juice you had to pay for I did think it was going to be freshly squeezed to warrant a charge but wasn’t Also the breakfast staff could do with being a bit more friendly and cheer up

Had lunch here with friends. Good selection of food - middle range price. Good quality with some excellent sides. The pork crackling was good, if leaving all of us concerned about the state of our teeth. Service was a little slow, but was friendly and competent. Very nice venue, enjoyable meal.

Lovely venue and the staff were so kind and attentive, and catered to all our needs. Food was delicious, only one thing that could have been better was the chocolate brownie it was a but dry. But would defo recommend and go back again.

For those of you likely to snitch on your neighbours for lack of strict Covid protocol, you’d need to be taking notes here as we found the lack of masks, sanitizer and taped off seating a little casual. For the rest of you, the food is very good and the service friendly. Excellent risotto, very good stuffed chicken with wonderful dauphinois potatoes, great burger and the Sauvignon Blanc was so good we had two bottles, On reflection we should have sat outside , (it was warm enough) which looked like fun. Recommend

Traditional old pub, modernised inside but retains its beamed ceilings with wood floors and brick pillars. Nice large patio garden with trees and a gorilla statue. On our visit - around 4.30pm on a Friday - it was quite busy and seemed a little understaffed, resulting in a long queue for service. However we enjoyed our visit, especially the colour-changing (men's loos) and had we known there was accommodation earlier we would have looked into it. Perhaps another time.

Drinks, staff all good but food was very poor for the priceSix of us had the fish n chips. About 12 chips and enough peas to fill an egg cup along with the thinnest piece of fish I've ever seen. Never had nouveau fish n chips before and we certainly won't again, plenty of better meals available in town with more for less

Visited for a Sunday meal pre-Covid and found the food to be pretty bland and small portions for the higher rate cost of the menu. Wouldn't be in a hurry to rush back to eat. The meat was a bit tough and only three small roast potatoes!The bar looked pretty lively, but there are better options locally for eating.

We use them for work purposes and they are always accommodating! I can't fault there customer service at all :) Have had multiple stays and have never heard a bad word from our employees

Amazing choice of food and drink.very friendly atmosphere.I would highly recommend their breakfasts,will definitely return

Visited on one of the first Eat Out to Help Out days. Its a very popular place and was busy. However the staff were helpful and efficient. The food was yummy, it all arrived in good time and was really tasty. I would thoroughly recommend The Broad Leys and the eat Out to Help Out scheme makes it even better!!

Some of the staff here are very rude and loud. The pub is often shut early if there aren’t many customers or some of the staff are hungry and stressed. Customers are encouraged to pay in cash so all of the money doesn’t need to go through the till and can be given to the staff as their ‘pay check’ to avoid tax. Would avoid at all costs

Came to the area to pick up our new car which wasn’t ready so decided to stay the night came across this little gem. Was one of the cutest places I’ve ever stayed. 5 stars for cleanliness. The rooms are just so Unique and lovely. All the staff we came across couldn’t do enough to help and were very friendly. Especially Helen who helped us find a room for the night. Even on a busy Friday night we had a good nights sleep. Would defiantly recommend and defiantly be back next time we are in the area.

We stayed in the cooper room for one night beautiful room with amazingly bathroom. Lovely towels, tea and coffee and fudge in the rom. Air conditioning unit also. Very nice stay with lovely breakfast in the pub. The only thing I would suggest is bath robes.We ate in the pub which was lovely and we felt very safe. Lovely grounds to sit outside.We will be back

The Broad Leys has always been a well run and welcoming place but with the current situation they deserve extra compliments! They’ve managed to implement all the guidelines whilst still offering their customers a comfortable environment to enjoy themselves in. So much thought has gone into how to do things, the staff are friendly & welcoming and the food is as great as ever. We’ve been twice since restrictions were lifted and both visits have been brilliant. Thank you and well done

We have visited here a few times now and really enjoy it. Great value for money for food and drinks, with high quality food that’s very tasty and well made. We really enjoyed our meals here the past few times. Staff are welcoming but feel they could more relaxed and inviting. However it wouldn’t stop us coming back again.

Pre booked for 4 people glad we did as pub busy on arrival, restaurant was quieter. Ordered two steak burgers and chicken chilli lime burger. Steak burger was ok but not seasoned enough, chips fabulous. Chicken burger was OK but didn’t taste chilli or lime, but perfectly acceptable and well cooked. However as evening went on restaurant got busier and had prolonged wait for deserts to come out. Staff polite and apologetic but not their fault. In busy periods employ more staff!!! Simple.

Little diamond stayed here 3 nights early March lovely staff and the food was great, they gave a big welcome and clearly provide a great service, lovely room which provided everything I needed Top marks

We waited a long while for service here which made a quick lunch about 2 hours long. The lemonade batter fish and chips was good, chips were crunchy and the minted peas were good. One of the special wraps was fried hot smoked salmon, cream cheese and mango salsa which was an interesting combination but very nice. Cool vibes in both bathrooms - worth a visit whilst you’re there!

Went here for a friends birthday meals were great ordered ectra roast potatoes. Bowl of them came out. The decor is great and staff are friendly. Would recommend if in the area
