Chandos Arms in Aylesbury Vale

Great restaurant. We had our Christmas meal last night. There were 15 of us. Food came out quickly and hot. Food and service was excellent. Thank you for looking after us

I've only given a 4 star for the atmosphere because we dined at the Chandos Arms later afternoon. The hospitaly is second to none though . Matt serves us and he couldn't do enough for us Stewart the landlord is a cracking fella and our visit was very enjoyable. I had the Lasagne and side salad and my partner had the pepperoni pizza

Looked a bit grubby and clapped out inside, more like a community centre type of vibe than a relaxing pub. Staff seemed to act like they’d never had a customer before. Seems to be popular among the oldies, if you don’t mind watching granny dribbling while you eat.

I can’t comment on food or drink. We didn’t get that far, however, the customer service and accessibility was horrific, degrading and rude. The accessible door was blocked off by a table, they had to move this out the way, with all of the customers watching. Baring in mind we told them when booking that required accessibility. We went with my in-laws who required wheelchair access. The blonde woman didn’t apologise at all, she stood right in the way and didn’t even attempt to acknowledge us, she told us about the toilets “they aren’t very disabled friendly you might need to go in with someone” not apology involved. There was no reason so be so rude. She also stated to her colleague under her breath that this wasn’t disclosed in the booking, which it was. When we left, she closed the door and was unnecessarily rude and dismissive. No type of communication was attempted from either member of staff that attempted to talk to us. No one said goodbye, no one apologised. Don’t bother going here if you need accessible features.

Lovely local pub. Large beer garden to the front. Lots of indoor seating for drinks and food too. Parking too the rear is limited, but roadside parking is also available. Sunday lunch is very good, can get busy, so get there early. (Served between 12:00h - 17:00h) Good size portion too. Pork, beef or turkey with all the trimmings you'd expect. Well priced as well.

We stopped here on our way home from a dog walk and were so impressed. The key thing being how lovely all the staff were. They were so friendly, polite and patient, our dog is a little awkward and they were so good with him! The food was delicious and hot, the chips in particular were really good! We will definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely love the Chandos Arms. The service and food is absolutely amazing. True traditional pub! It's a must if your in the area

Really great food, excellent friendly service. No idea what a Chandos is though, arms or not

Popped in for a drink. Much improved . Got a great garden . They obviously support local brewery(s). Group I know stay for lunch through the year Says it all. Not sure about wheelchair access . Sort of people who can sort any issues.

Great place to spent the day with a group

Friendly pub that serves quality bar food

Lovely evening meeting friends and family. As always ordered too much pizza but it all so tasty 🥰 best bit about The Chandos? Such a warm welcome!! it feels like going home … also has great entertainment for the kids in the garden and is dog friendly (inside and out) with treats at the bar! X

Lovely get-together of family and friends in remembrance of a loved one. Great pub, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Food was good (if a little greasy for me) and everyone enjoyed it. Good range of drinks too.

Food and service lovely 👌 and well priced

Booked a table here for a 70th Birthday meal. Being on Mother’s Day weekend, my hopes were pretty low to find somewhere to accommodate a party of 14 but I called The Chandos Arms after seeing some good reviews and they were more than happy to accommodate us. I had excellent communication from start to finish with Charlotte and she helped me organise such a memorable afternoon for a special man. Nothing was too much trouble. We had our own private area which was just perfect - cosy (radiators turned on especially for us) and away from the main pub so we didn’t have to worry about being too loud and allowing the kids to be kids. The food was excellent with the usual pub favourites and we felt really well cared for. Thank you so much! We will definitely be returning to make the most of your outside space in the summer! X

Friends and I had a very nice Sunday roast today, service friendly and efficient, but, my only complaint is that the disabled access round the back where there no steps is a bit like an assault course with wooden pallets and other stuff in the way and the path is very mossy and slippery.

Good experience, staff friendly and good buffet and drinks. Would recommend.

Thanks for a fantastic fish and chips take away

Beautiful historic pub. Lovely design and interior

Really lovely pub, atmosphere and food very nice. Charly is amazing; my son, who has additional needs, was made very welcome, and nothing was too much trouble.

Brilliant service. Excellent food. There were 23 of us and food came out at same time and hot! Staff friendly and attentive even though they were super busy. Will definitely be back.

Excellent and very friendly service. A brilliant roast lunch they was reasonably priced. The best sort of pub!

Moving into the area, this is the new local. Great atmosphere, community and staff.

I had a very good Christmas meal here with my family. Great meats and trimmings. The staff were friendly and clearly work hard.

Excellent food and service for the carvery .

This was my first visit here with family, and we chose here because it really does have a menu to suit everyone. The pub itself has a small car park and is decorated really nice - preserving the lovely wooden beams too. The food was delicious and everyone is really friendly and helpful. I will definitely be coming back!

Fairly decent food here, 4 stars for service but only because the order was messed up. Atmosphere only 1 star because we were seated in literally the coldest pub I've ever eaten in. They tried to accommodate us by giving us an electric radiator which didn't really make any difference from the draughts coming through the doors and windows. I'd like to politely suggest a calor gas burner or electric fan heaters to keep the place warm-ish. I appreciate the weather has taken a turn but I do feel this should be a pressing issue for management. It has affected my rating on the food purely because it made the food turn very cold very quickly. The waitresses were very lovely though and polite. I'd like to come back when it's warmer!

Attended for a " carvery" was not nice at all, using same pair off gloves to serve food, wash and touch face! Manger and bar staff was rude when they misunderstood what we was saying. They then became rude, we then went outside to finish out drink and have a cigarette and they accused us of stealing a glass!

Wow, wow, wow. We just ordered a takeaway roast dinner, YES a TAKEWAY roast dinner from Chando’s arms. We ordered for the first time and we were very sceptical at first as we were unsure how it would turn out having to be stored in containers whilst we went to collect it. Safe to say we were amazed at how tasty the food was and how much of it there was. We ordered 5 roast dinners all at £13 each which is really cheap for the shear amount of food we had, we were all suitably stuffed. We will most definitely be returning to chandos arms for a roast dinner and we will be also certain to try out other food on the menu.

Amazing , excellent value , 5 roast beef Sunday roasts , take away, picked up, everyone loved it , plenty of food for 5 adults

Came for late lunch with family. Service was poor, staff not attentive and the best service was at the end with the gent who took our payment. Reaaaaally slow service - took an hour to get starters and another half hour after that to get mains. No one came to check if all was okay or if we needed more drinks. Food was below average and most of it seemed to be overcooked or generic freezer stuff (particularly the stuffing balls). Wouldn’t come back as no one seemed to care about service.

Great place to relax and enjoy decent pub food and a great pint

Came here for mum's 50th, staff were lovely and food was delicious!

Like I do many places I check reviews and after reading the latest review left I felt compelled to write one on the back of that review left. What can I say but wow, the food was incredible and I actually had a burger myself which I know are sourced locally from a butchers and I can't complain. Hands down the best burger I've had in a long time. Staff attentive and friendly a lovely local village pub I would recommend highly.

Weve just recently moved to the area and had heard a lot of good things about the Chandos Arms and I can see why. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious.

We ate here for lunch yesterday, I had a baguette and my husband had a beef burger. It looked great when it arrived but within 6 hours of eating the burger my husband has had severe sickness and diarrhoea. He hasn’t eaten anything else which could have caused this. I have spoken with the manager who Ofcourse says they ok the meat to the correct temperature and that he had eaten a burger yesterday too. But it had to have been the burger that has caused his illness. Such a shame as we are away this weekend so it has spoilt the whole weekend for us. Don’t risk it!

Took a while to book a table. 2 phone calls that went to voice mail and they never returned the call. Then sent message via their web site and they answered. Sunday roast and service was good. Beware that the price on web site is not correct.

We came for dinner with our 2 sons on Friday night. Pretty standard pub fare but good value. Freshly made coleslaw particularly nice. Two very professional and friendly ladies behind the bar as well - thank you!

Had a good roast lunch very nice and staff friendly

Fabulous atmosphere and great food! What more could you want!

Such a lovely pub. Friendly staff. Food was amazing.

I reside in Weston Turville & often use the Chandos for a Beverage with a few of the Locals. There's always a great Atmosphere. This Sunday I was one of 3 Couples that went for the Carvery. it was great value & would Recommend it, especially if you have a Family Booking.

Fantastic Pub. Pre booked a table outside for 12 guests for my 50th birthday. As it was cloudy they also put up tables for us in the marquee. Lovely food and nothing was too much trouble. Also fantastic to have a gluten free pizza which was delicious.

Fabulous. Friendly and helpful people. Food is delicious. They really go the extra mile for you. Gluten free menu is excellent too. I highly recommend a visit.

Be aware that in some of the inside dining areas dogs are welcome. We witnessed a dog being fed tidbits from there owner , it didn't bother us but some might be. Food , drink staff were fine.

We booked a table for 4 on arriving we were directed to a seating area on the left ,there is seating on the right as as well .On the table adjacent people had a dog with them ,when there food arrived they fend the dog titbits from there plates by throwing bits on the floor.Food,drink and staff were fine ask to seated in a area that dogs aren’t allowed if this upsets you.

I have just tip toed through an 18 person meal for my family celebrating two 80th birthdays. The tip toe was to avoid the dire attitude of the landlady . Everything I said and did raised her hackles and got her snarling . I understand life is a task to be endured but we chose the Chandon because the food is good and Holly works hard to get a job done . Having personally spent over £400 pounds on a lunch at least a third of those present will tell their friends it was nice but the land lady was a bit harsh. We booked a month ago and the outside area was filthy . I know this as I had to set an 18 person table myself . We were treated like we should be glad to be fed . Having eaten here many times since Stuart took over from Chris. I’m now left thinking next time call the harrow. Coming from a hospitality back ground I expected to be grateful for a nice time not glad that my wife stopped me from ripping someone a new bottom . Shame as Holly worked her backside off to at least feed us . Mark Vervaet

Good pub food! Very friendly and welcoming staff....fab beer garden...perfect for everyone and dogs very welcome. We had a wonderful evening having drinks with friends...the Chandos put on live music (Lashaya Byfield) who was absolutely perfect 🥰 so lucky to have this pub in the village 😀

Great Sunday roast. Pudding was lovely too

Poor, on food, service and quality.

I wouldn’t bother with this place if you want afternoon tea. We arrived and were told that we didn’t have a booking for afternoon tea and they couldn’t now put one together as they had no food to provide it. I asked to speak to a manager and suddenly they said they could do it but we would have to wait half an hour, so we waited. Well it certainly wasn’t worth the wait, probably 4 slices of bread cut in fingers, with predominantly ham & mustard, cheese with an unrecognisable red stuff inside and soft cheese and cucumber. One tiny scone each a tiny square of brownie and a ball of something that would give anyone with dentures a run for their money! Appalling and definitely not worth £14 a head! No offer of a discount after having to wait and being told that the booking didn’t exist, even when I provided email evidence that it had been booked! Also the pub was freezing cold and therefore not very welcoming, toilet seats in the ladies coming off the toilet bowl. AVOID!! Chandos arms Oakley

lovely sunday roast takeaway, massive portions and great quality.

Popped in here for a carvery on Sunday as we were passing through. Food was lovely ,staff were friendly and accommodating couldn't fault the place thanks guys 👍

Hi not good first pint of Guinness was £560 second pint of Guinness was £580 The five bells 300 yards away was £480 so won't be going back

First visit and received a lovely warm welcome. Had a couple of pints and a meal which was delicious and very good value for money. A lovely traditional pub run by lovely people. Will definitely be visiting again.

No pretty pretentious nouveau cuisine Sunday roast here ! Old fashioned,home made(as is all the menu) My idea of a roast ! Plus apple and blackberry crumble with thick ,homemade thick creamy custard All staff were very attentive Genuine and honest experience . Will be back. Downside Kitchen closed Mondays and Tuesdays Update Rude staff

Thirteen of us visited the Chandos last night for a pre Christmas meal. I have to say the food and staff were excellent. There were two other larger groups in for meals at the same time, so they were very busy but this did not spoil the service in any way. The starters, roast beef meal and sweets were all excellent Thank you to the chef and all the staff for making such a massive effort to get it spot on. I hope you all have a great Christmas.

I organised our work Christmas dinner at the Chandos Last week and we were not disappointed! Communication on booking the dinner was good, and we even added two more on last minute which was no issue for them. The food was amazing, generous portions and good quality. I’m coeliac and they were aware in advance. The servers knew which dinner was mine and came out with the plates saying my name. This made me relax so I knew I was eating a gluten free dinner. I had soup to start with a GF roll, this was so tasty and fresh! Turkey dinner for main which was huge and absolutely gorgeous - even a GF Yorkshire pud! Thankfully we were given time before pudding arrived, which was another delightful course, apple crumble cheesecake! I couldn’t finish it all but it was so lovely! Stewart, Ash and the team served us well, very attentive and we couldn’t have ask for more, Chef Matthew cooked amazing food! If you want a great Christmas meal, please go to the Chandos Arms, you won’t be disappointed! I have also been in the summer and they do make amazing pizzas too! Never been disappointed by the food!

This place is not wheel chair friendly nice pub all the same

Great local pub, good selection of beers and freindly staff.

Mother's Birthday Treat first class food lovely staff well be back soon

Myself and my partner have come to The Chandos Arms many of times and had a really good Sunday roast - best one in Aylesbury, so we decided to invite friends down from Wycombe to try and have a get together. Unfortunately, we don't know...

Great pub and staff serves decent food the only thing that lets it down are the Charles Wells beers, DNA and Origin are poor excuses for an ale.

Another fantastic Sunday lunch Brilliant service and atmosphere but more importantly the food was so lovely The portions are so large , great value for money

Food was OK...service seemed to be at sixes and sevens a bit amateurish...

Lovely country pub. Great experience - both service and food. Booked for a large party on a Sunday afternoon and the team couldn't have been more attentive, both in the management of the booking or during the lunch. Great service and fabulous food across the Sunday Roast menu and a la carte. Great stuff. Doing a fantastic job!!!

Had a Sunday carvery meal. Really nice. Three meets. Lots of veg. Cheesy brocolli really good. Massive portions. Difficult parking

Fantastic experience over 3 separate visits - outdoor lunch enjoying sunshine, outdoor games & amazing kings farm burgers, then drinks with live music and finally an impromptu Sunday lunch with tender kings farm roast beef, giant yorkshires & tastiest ever cauliflower and cheese. Dog, kid, everyone friendly. So happy we found this place. Generous portions & generous soul.

Friendly atmosphere and good freshly cooked tasty food

Great food great pub great friendly staff

We popped in here after a nearby appointment and fancied a bit of lunch. Unfortunately they only do a very limited menu on Sunday, mostly roasts which is great but we just wanted something light. We had a drink and left but the roast dinners...

Arrived at the pub had a lovely greeting from staff unfortunately we really struggled with my elderly grandma the pub is full of quite steep steps with no offer for support or a ramp. Sat at the table and had been warned there was a...

Very pleasant surroundings but not enough appropriately chilled wines and bottles of beer. By 9.30pm they were serving warm beer and white wine. Only one choice of alcohol free beer. It was a busy evening for a Thursday so perhaps things are better on a quieter evening.

Food only warm, no check back, no offer of anymore drinks, dirty plates left for 20 mins before clearing away., dessert the best part of not a very good experience

Really lovely village pub with great food and friendly staff. Lovely big garden to sit out in.

Good food, nice atmosphere. Should have had the junior Sunday Roast as I struggled with the amount of food for standard roast

A catch up with friends, always amazing, friendly staff, friendly atmosphere, great food.

Great food, really friendly staff!!

Very accommodating, put us at the end with our reactive dogs. Place is the extremely clean. The food was good.

Sunday afternoon appointment at Stoke mandeville hospital brought me to the Aylesbury area in search of a sunday dinner. I followed the reviews and decided on the Chandos Arms. Weston Turville, i am so glad i followed the reviews, wonderfull pub,staff and a super sunday carvery dinner.

Have been coming to this little hidden gem for about 3 years! It’s the perfect little traditional village pub! Food always fresh, large portions, sensibly priced! Beer always served at correct temperature in sparkling clean glassware! To be recommended.

Uninspiring Pub grub. The burger meat was not of good quality and was overwhelmed by the very strong cheese. The chips were ok though.

Superb Sunday roasts, dog friendly and plenty of outside seating...Will definitely be back👍

Great roast dinner not to busy friendly staff

Great pub food, nice beer, great service!

Great Sunday roast and friendly staff

Lovely outdoor space, especially when the sun's out.

Nice large pub with good outdoors area

Another good meal at The Chandos. Four of us on a Friday night at a busy local pub. Good sensible pub food all prepared and cooked on the premises. Thanks again to Holly and Stuart. This time went for our first Sunday Roast for Mother's Day since lockdown. Good roast lunch selection and drinks at good price, service slightly slow but very busy because of Mothers Day.

Friendly, helpful staff, food was excellent.

Roast dinner is worth the money

Size of roast dinner was very generous and tasted lovely. The staff were very polite and friendly. Will definitely be going there again 👍

Friendly staff, proper pub grub and a good choice of ale and lager. A place you'll always find plenty of locals which is always a good sign. I thoroughly recommend it.

We went to eat here last night (24 Feb). 4 adults and a 2 year old. Sat down at 5pm. A lovely experience. Nothing was too much trouble for the landlord and his team. Very attentive but not intrusive. All the food was superb. One...

We had a very pleasant lunch here and will certainly be back.

What a fabulous landlord (Stuart). My friend and I were visiting Wendover from North Essex and found ourselves needing an emergency break after a long journey on the M25. We were greeted by a really friendly landlord and ordered two coffees and used the very...

Awesome food, staff are always welcoming

Lovely Sunday roast very good portions

A family gathering for Sunday Roast. I have food intolerance, and phoned beforehand to discus what I could and couldn't eat. The Chef prepared my food specially, with care taken to ensure I could eat the whole roast dinner. I felt very well looked after...

Friendly staff, great carvery, would highly recommend
