Chiltern Taps in Wycombe

I get the impression that the owners are winding the Taps down. The bar staff are excellent, beer is good but often the selection can be poor. Food is no longer available, but you can take food in. The bar is looking tired, the loos are very retro, if 1970s public toilets are your thing. Its a real shame.

Wow! What a decline in this place! Really poor welcome at the bar, not much of an atmosphere and the seating was just awful, as chairs were ripped to shreds - will not be back!

Nice pub with friendly staff and cold pints

Place was amazing. Now sell bad beer 2 for 1 ..sell good beer for good price .. could not drink my 1never mine the free so called 2nd ..

Good night out, pretty cheap food and drinks! Karaoke was good too

Karaoke night, great fun, great beer

Nice pub, friendly atmosphere and staff and good prices. Didn't have food, just a couple of pints but would drink there again.

Lovely staff. Clean. Menu looked intresting. We didn't eat just stayed for a drink.

Good pub, good food, Karaoke quality on Friday night, give it a visit

The food was absolutely dreadful. I had baby back ribs they were tough and cold. Yuk! The 1* is for side portion of 3 bean chilli, which I ate with the chips, that was quite nice but not worth almost £16. I left hungry. I didn’t complain, there is no point, it would just make me angry and they wouldn’t care. I won’t be back.

Absolutely disgraceful. We went in for a late breakfast as we usually love their food. We asked for poached eggs on toast that was stated explicitly on their menu - we also asked for a big breakfast and mushrooms on toast. After ordering, a member of staff said they couldn't do poached eggs but could do any other way. We challenged this because they had eggs so why could they not do poached? Whilst waiting for him to speak to the chef, we also ordered the breakfast and mushrooms on toast. We waited for half an hour, watching a table with more people that came in after us get all their food before ours came. When the staff member came back, he said they no longer do poached eggs as it's an old menu they have not yet updated - false advertising at it's finest. After arguing about that for 5 minutes we then asked where the other food we ordered was, he replied saying he hadn't yet ordered it even though we said we still wanted that. We told him we were outraged that we had been waiting so long and he responded with a bunch of rude and patronising comments telling us "there's no need to write a bad review, my friend" before handing us the bill for the drinks without any discount or compensation for our troubles and saying "well thank you for joining us". Awful service and awfully handled. Will not be returning. If we could give a minus review, we would.

When I am in Wycombe I always pop in. Such a lovely place with gorgeous ales.

Good selection of beers in this town centre pub. Handy for the bus station

Always have a great time at the taps! Amazing affordable food, drinks are great prices! Amazing DJ for evening entertainment on a Saturday!! Very good Vibe!! Would deffo recommend for a night out!!

Value for money!! Got the starter + main for £10 deal as the friendly staff recommend For starters halloumi fries which were home made and delicious + breaded prawns which were very big and tasty. For mains vegan burger which was lovely according to my gf + breaded scampi which was unbeatable. Awesome service as well! Would definitely come again.

Great pub - great range of ciders on tap and always shows the football.

Had some really good food here last week, starter and main for £10, you can't go wrong! BOGOF on certain beers and prosecco until 8pm too.

Friday night karaoke, waited 3+ hours for songs to come up and bouncers very disrespectful kicking people out when they had enough! Would not recommend to go to this place if you want to have a nice night out with your friends (unless you’re friends with the bar staff or bouncers). Hasn’t kept up with the times and overall the management has declined over last 2 years. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this place close soon! Good idea but badly executed!

Staff are normally friendly bar 1. Moro is so miserable. Half 8 come for food and some drinks. Rolls his eyes are the drinks and putting his head in his hand. Honestly rubbish server. We then ask for food which is advertised as served until 9pm. Told the chef is cleaning up and we can't order. Eventually manage to get food with attitude because, God forbid, he does his job. Even though its 2 for £10 I'd rather go elsewhere because he is the worst server I've ever had the misfortune of being served by. If you hate your job leave. No wonder the place is always dead.

All staff were friendly, we visit last week and was amazing, food was brilliant. This week we visited and was served by an extremely unapproachable miserable unfriendly guy called ‘Moral’ or something. The 5 of us were taken back by his unhelpfulness. We ordered food at 8:30 when he told us the kitchen closes at 9 so just order something small; despite offering 2 Meals for £10 Untill 9pm. food was amazing but genuinely terrible service. Will NOT be returning.

Went in for a bite to eat, 2 mains for £10.00. TBH didn't expect anything great, came out really quickly, my comment under my breath 'that's not a good start'. Well how wrong was I, the food was delicious and hot. Nice staff, nice food.

The staff are very helpful and good at the job

Great pub with a good selection of draught beers and spirits. The interior is nice and the food is decent. I believe they have events here too, so always check just to make sure just so if you wanted a quiet drink you won't be disturbed. They used to have a small selection of board games i.e jenga, chequers, them kind of games, but we had come at Karaoke time. Needless to say it was a great time! Update: Still a good pub. Decent priced drinks and a good selection of Brixton beers and Marlow brewery aswell as soft drinks (heiniken 0% alcohol is sold there and that's not bad). Recommend the pulled pork chili con carne and the chicken wings. Really good. There was a promotion for happy hour during the week I believe (writing this as of 31/01/23) and a deal for 2 meals for 1 I think? Either way, still a good pub!

Very good food and beer Sports bar Definitely come again

This is a large friendly pub with 2 floors and plenty of seating. Great selection of real ales. 2 main meals for £10.

Food and drink OK but seating is difficult because of very tall tables and seats at the front of the pub where we prefer to be seated.The downstairs toilets are closed for repair which only leaves the very small upstairs toilet. Food and drink OK but choice of wines is limited.

Great pub in the centre of town. Friendly staff, good choice of drink and food, relaxed environment and lots of sport screens

Service was good and drinks were nice, beer tasted like the lines are regularly cleaned and the cocktail I had was pretty good. Toilets were a bit dirty and it was very cold upstairs when we went up to watch the football.

Great place to stop off for a drink (alcoholic or not) that has really friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Also a really good spot to catch up with sports, thanks to there being plenty of TV's and ample seating space for small or big groups. I didn't eat there during my visit but the food smelled very nice and the dishes I saw taken past me looked nice too.

Food was good although the barman had to ask about every meal I asked about. A lot of meals were out of stock but the staff were friendly and helpful and the place had a good atmosphere

Great pub with plenty of screens showing the football (on silent in main bar, sound in a raised area) and half decent selection of craft beer. Good price too a Beavertown Neck Oil is £4.75, I paid £6.50 yesterday in another bar for it, tho it just came in a plain glass here rather than the usual colourful Beavertown one you'd expect.

Cheap town chain type place. Decent atmosphere and location.

Good food good service and some great beer

One of the best bars in the town centre.

A decent pub, just outside the town centre. Reasonably priced beers and food. Really comes into its own when there's a match or sporting event on.

Generally quite a lively place. Great for sports fans, you can reserve tables even during matches. Their cocktail menu has reduced in size significantly since 2018. Availability is sometimes lacking. They have a very small dance floor (I've never seen it being used to dance), a bar downstairs and upstairs. Toilet facilities are usually clean. They provide board games for free. On at least one occasion, I've found the staff to be grumpy or unhelpful. Lots of TVs for football fans.

Nice welcoming friendly pub. Great food too at reasonable prices.

Had a good couple of hours with Friends. Lovely G&T. Staff are great. Good choice of drinks.

Very nice little bar with superb choice of beers and wine - the chicken wings were great too!

Puts football ⚽️ on not bad choice of beers

Friendly staff, good selection of beers and and ales, very reasonable prices.

I absolutely love the karaoke nights there. Great atmosphere to sing in.

Nice atmosphere. The scampi and chips 🍟 was good, adequate portion. Nice place for a pub lunch.

Expensive drinks but a nice pub....except when the karaoke is on upstairs.

A fun pub where you can get some reasonably priced food too. I've have had many great times in there and the staff have always been polite and helpful.

Cracking karaoke night, loved it

Here for the karaoke, the bass is so loud that the speakers hummm, waiting so long to get served while only 2 people at the bar but 3 staff, moved downstairs and can still hear the bad humming. Gone very much down hill since stoneware.

Good food nice beer cider nice Football all great

No pizzas! But agood pub with pub quality food

Decent beer, nice food, bar staff were friendly and informative.

Great place for beers & some grub!

Had a good time here after a gym session with a chilled atmosphere..

Decent pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord and really tasty fish and chips made for a good lunchtime pitstop. Nice sized portion of well cooked food especially nice crispy batter on the fish.

very good meal, would use again as it was a Saturday they were busy but did not have to wait to long

Karaoke on a Friday night and the busiest place in town tonight. Most importantly they have apple juice to go with my jack

Friendly and welcoming, needs a bit of maintenance though! Time to sort the water leaks out, and find someone who knows to look after ales - they serve one of my favourites, but it is the worst I have had anywhere, sour and cloudy, smells awful. Best to stick to cider, lager or bottles for now.

They have changed their menu recently and now the drinks aren't as worth it like before. Food is not as good anymore, both in quality and price, hence the change from 5 to 3 stars. Would probably head elsewhere given my recent disappointment, but if other venues are busy I would still go in.

Bar upstairs was closed on a busy day. Card machine wasn't working and some drinks were not available.

Great atmosphere and karaoke was fab layout is great with alot of space to dance and have fun

Great central Pub with a great atmosphere

Efficient, friendly staff with good food and service.

Great place for a catch-up with drinks and food

Food was fine . Thank you. Looked like a great pub.

Enjoyed the choice or IPA’s and they had sky sports but the staff need to be told they’re there to serve and not to hang out. Also, don’t swear and mess around while people are waiting to be served, not professional at all. And lastly SMILE ! A shame, hope the manager reads this

Table of 8 ordering separately 3 ordered at the bar. We met the chef (Andy) Food was so good really enjoyed it all.

Always loved this place and glad it's back after covid, had a lovely night with friends this Saturday, bar staff were great and the food was so tasty I even spoke to the chef Andy, he was lovely! Well done him! And all of u! Thanks

Lovely atmosphere and good service! The Friday night karaoke upstairs is fun and they have a good range of songs to chose from. Downstairs has such a good range of screens so no matter where you're sat you have a good view of the live sports they have on! Great pub!

Often was a pitstop after work before a bus home. Drinks are mostly well priced. Staff friendly. I've never eaten there so can't judge.

Went for the Friday karaoke. An excellent atmosphere and great entertainment. Sadly the two different ales I had from downstairs tasted like the pipes hadn't been cleaned in a while so I stuck to the non pumped stuff afterwards.

Good atmosphere and good selection of drinks. Staff could do with learning to smile! Really spoils the experience - made to feel a burden. Much friendlier down the road in other local pubs.

Great place for food+drinks + live sports

It was clean and tidy. The bar staff were very friendly and the Guiness was good quality. They also showed an array of different sport. Would definitely go again.

Really disappointing bottomless brunch. Chef was lovely but that was about it. The two bar staff made us feel like we were a burden and should not be ordering drinks, or even be there in the first place. They clearly did not want to be there and took it out on us, rude and no reason at all for it. No table service at all, had to go and order our drinks, and then collect them from the bar as they were 'too busy' at 1230 with only 4 other tables in. They were moody, and when we complained our order was wrong, the waitress argued about what we had ordered rather than offering to correct it (menu said it came with nachos and no nachos came) Food came out cold as the wait staff had just let it sit. Drinks were always delayed, and rather than them being bought to our table (as we were told they would be) we had to go and ask for them and then collect them. When we complained to a manager, they half listed, but dismissed how we had been made to feel and no offer of compensation or anything else as way of apology. They then forgot to take our deposit off payment and we had more aggro about that. Overall staff damped the visit and we would not go again. Very disappointing, wanted a lovely afternoon and instead just had stress, staff did not seem trained or prepared, despite us pre-booking and a limited menu. (As a waitress myself I understand the struggles of hospitality, but there was no excuse for the bad service and attitude we received). Go elsewhere if you want a nice, stress free brunch.

Bottomless brunch - we visited as a group of 7 lads not really knowing what to expect but honestly it’s the best bottomless we’ve ever done. At the start, the drinks were a bit slow but soon they got quicker as they were being much more attentive and friendly. A special mention to the person who was making the pizzas as he came and got our order, made them and still had times to take a drinks order too. The pizzas were delicious and perfect. The woman making the cocktails behind the bar allowed us to order 1 more round as soon as the last one had been put on the table, meaning that she had time to make more drinks while we were finishing the other ones off, can’t recommend this place enough for bottomless brunch, and easily the best value for money in the area for a group.

Great food, good drink selection, very reasonable prices!

Clean, goog service, nice food, terrible app.

Very good atmosphere - the best place to grab a drink in wycombe

A great selection of beers are available

Nice enough in a horrible town.Absolutely no covid rules followed in most of the places I visited.

A very pleasant evening for foods & drink, the only thing I left wanting was the staff visiting our table to see if we needed any more drinks a bit more frequently!

Very quiet. Lacks atmosphere, due to lack of customers. (Not their fault!)

Today my and my friend visited the children taps in high Wycombe where we was serviced by a guy called Matt, the service was excellent he recommended a good beer for us to try and gave us his full attention whilst in the transaction, will return just because of that.

Unreasonably hostile service from the staff. I went there for a quiet drink with four friends and we were treated as an inconvenience. The food was overpriced, a simple tomato and cheese pizza was priced at £11 and we were made to feel very unwelcome during our stay, possibly because of our ethnicity because other people were treated differently to us and the only difference in our custom was nationality’s. I’ll never return to this establishment, the management and staff were all obnoxious.

We’ve given this place so many chances and considering the hospitality industry is really trying to get back on its feet, this place really fails to make its customers want to revisit. All we ever feel is like we are a burden to the management crew. Poor from a place that has potential! In a town that is full of people desperate for something other than a pizza joint. Without a doubt we won’t bother again as wouldn’t want the manager to have to put in any extra ounce of work that she needs to and serving at pint at 10:30 is clearly something outside of her job description.

They serve big portions and for reasonable prices. nice employees. 5 stars from me.

Really sad to be writing this review as me and my partner were really looking forward to returning here after lockdown. Went in tonight was explained by the lady the rules of living together several times, despite some obvious flouting of the rules by other patrons, but it clearly doesn't apply if you're friends with the wait staff. Starters came after 30 mins and they were fantastic. We then had to wait another 40 mins for mains. In the meantime a family that were clearly friends with the wait staff came in 40 mins after us and had their food served first. The loaded mac and cheese was really poor. Cheesy oily pasta with sweet chili sauce randomly put on top and 5 fatty bits of pork. I flagged down a waitress and asked if this was how it was supposed to be. She went and spoke to her manager who would not come and speak to me. I would have preferred to give this feedback in person. The waitress offered me another main but given the previous wait I did not accept and had a free drink instead. I am disappointed that the manager did not want to hear my feedback as the food was well below standard for a 70 minute wait and the price.

Went to this place custumer service is amazing meals is amazing too got chicken wings for 9.99 and on top off that could have all top up with wings for free and plus drinks ... 100% recommended

Absolutely amazing. Friendly staff- excellent service and great food. Will be back soon.

Would have given lower if allowed. Absolutely unbelievable!!!!! Booked a table 2 weeks in advance as we were in the area camping on arrival were seated but given no menu after about 15 min went to ask for a menu to be told they aren't doing food at the moment even though I got the restaurant on the eat out to help out site. I was told by staff they were doing 50%off soft drinks so decided to get 3 cokes and 1 pineapple juice, only to see on my bank later that I had been charged £12.15 ......half price ,,,I went back and they did give me a full refund on the drinks but still ....don't bother going there.

Polite friendly staff.great food.nice pub

Good food. Really nice beer, the staff are lovely and it's a real step up from the Robert loosely that it used to be. Often my first choice to have a beer at when catching up with mates in high wycombe

Staff mostly rude and incompetent

This restaurant is fantastic and broad, the food was delightful and the rates were very reasonable. fast, productive service and very personal staff. Highly recommended.

We were in high Wycombe Lat month & went to this bar twice . We found the staff friendly & helpful . The choice of beer & cider ( both bottled & draught ) was excellent. The mango cider on draught was especially refreshing. We didn't try the food , but people we spoke to eating there seemed to be happy with both the quality & the service . Overall, when we are back in high Wycombe, we will be back .

This is a great place to have a bite to eat and a nice cold alcoholic beverage to drink. They are very friendly and will serve you with a smile. Great food great drinks and great service.

Great family pub (by day at least) came in for a full English at £5.50 really good. Relatives regularly come here to drink at night. Great portion sizes and amazing taste.

As a family the taps was often a saturday lunch stop when we were in town as the food has always been ok and the staff quite attentive.However today was a very different story they seem to have employed a breed of special I ordered a sloppy Joe burger and my son tried to order a cheese and bacon burger and was told there were no c&b burgers left after some probing I established they were out of bacon so managed to order a cheeseburger. We ordered the rest of our food and drinks and sat downWhen the food arrived my son was presented with a plain burger and my burger had bacon in it. I found a member of staff and told him that a burger was missing cheese and asked if we could get some sent down.A few moments later he returned telling me the other team member had put the order through as a plain burger and I would have to pay 50p for cheese which was fine my other son ordered a kids burger and garlic bread and we had to chase the staff for garlic bread and when it did arrive in a soggy mess on a plate my son had lost interest The chips were served in dishes that had more chips on them than they did in them This pub has lost its direction which is a real shame as we wont be back

Reasonable prices, foods not bad, good selection of ales and fine for kids out for family meal

Excellent service. Friendly staff
