Horse and Jockey in Wycombe - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is the second time in trying out the Horse and Jockey. Really nice makeover plus food and service good. Prices very good, lovely relaxing garden. They deserve to do well.

Rain ruined plans we had for a wedding send-off but at the last moment the fabulous team at the Horse & Jockey stepped in and allowed us to decorate & use half of the pub. They were so accommodating & super friendly. I had no idea that they’re doing weekday food now but will definitely be giving that a go.

We turned up for a meal,lunchtime,mid June,quit a few items missing off the menue,I had a steak,my mate had ham eggs and chips,I had a steak,and my wife had a vedgy cottage pie. We had some loaded Nachos to start with a vert tastey tomato salsa,but the avocado lacked flavour and seasoned,a little worcester sauce and salt and pepper would have brought this to life. My steak was fantastic soft succulent and one of the best I've ever had. My mates ham egg and chips had a bit of plastic in it,but it was a little basic, ham off the bone would have raised the level of the meal especially if the meat was hot. My wifes vegetarian cottage pie was cold bland and in need of some bandic seasonings,it a shame she always gets raw deal being a vegetarian. Wouldn't eat here again as the food wasn't tasty enough. Would recomend the steak though.

Well this pub discovered me last weekend, met with friends who have just moved to the area and love the unfussy relaxed vibe, nice couple of parking places, but most locals walk. Nice Sunday roast on offer as well, what is not to like... Doggo friendly? Yes!! Will be back I think, with or with out our friends it was that nice - sort of classic nice time gone by English pub #love it

We were staying in the area for a short time and this pub was a 10 minute walk from our accommodation. Once we discovered it we went quite a few times as it is a friendly place and has an awful lot going for it. The food menu looked fairly standard but we were only there for drinks and they had a good selection. They seem to have a few guest beers and definitely have Timothy Taylors which is one of my favourite breweries and the beers are well kept. The Pub inside is nicely done out and has a good atmosphere but the weather was nice so we made use of the outside area. You can either sit in front of the pub or go to the beer garden at the back which is really nice and there's lots of free parking available on the site.

Cosy little place. Haven't tried food though

Impromptu dimmer with a friend. Good simple fayre sourced from a good local butcher. Great side salad. Serves local beverages, ales and gin! Definitely worth a visit.

Went to this pub 20.years ago and it was quite good. Had heard it had slipped somewhat in recent years and wasn't a good place to go to. So after a walk last Saturday we were passing and popped in. Excellent greeting from the young and helpful barman. Beer was superb, well kept and good price. The atmosphere was first class and had the good old fashioned country pub feel that is now so lacking with all the "corporate" designer pubs so prevalent these days. We were impressed to the point that we will return. Oh. And apparently they do occasion live music..... Man and guitar kind of things. So - Recommended

Went to the Horse & Jockey for an early evening mid -week dinner. Our first visit since the refurbishment. Very nice internal decoration and ambience. Four of us ordered different meals. None of them were hot, exacerbated by the fact the plates were cold. We than sat looking at our dirty plates for some time. No-one cleared the plates or offered us dessert/coffee (do they do dessert/coffee?) so we left, probably never to return. Which is a shame because you want these local places to do well, but if they can’t serve hot meals and a decent level of service, they will struggle. And it’s not as if they were busy.

A propper pub and one we are luck to have retained, Friday night live music is the highlight of the village pubs

Not a bad pub, especially after the grumpy landlord has left. It’s had a good makeover. Good beer awful chips, normally I would suggest the chef gets a job at MacDonalds, however in this instance the chips are better at Mac D’s. Not sure about the strange local parking.

Refurbished offering of a well established village pub. Inside the pub is cosy and friendly with a horseshoe shaped bar. The staff were attentive and friendly. Biggest improvement is the garden which is now comfortable and tidy. Has always served a good pint, the 2 pints of Timothy Taylors I had were exceptional 👌. Food was ok. Simple more than overwhelming. Car park at the side and front (the front had a massive sink hole during the summer which is now repaired).

Proper local pub, standard pub fare in terms of food, the prawns were very nice as was the Bavarian Burger - a frankfurter and sauerkraut were welcomed! Staff are super friendly, and they have recently renovated and we're planting more in the gardens today, a nice spot for a drink when the weather is good. This is not wheelchair accessible, and the parking is limited at the moment due to the car park over the road being mostly blocked off.

Nice traditional pub. Friendly bar staff. Haven't tried the food yet. Going to later this week

Best pub I’ve been to in years. Staff are great

We went here after our walk over the fields nearby. A well needed drink and we had very good service. We missed the food as it had finished. We actually toasted to my dad who sadly died on Monday and he used to go to the Horse and Jockey a few years ago.

A lovely place to stop into. Great local beers available and sensible prices Back again to enjoy a delightful pint on a sunny afternoon. After a major refit the place has massively improved inside and out . The front garden seating area is the place to head for. Well worth a visit

Proper pub, nothing hoity toity. A place that sells good beer and shows the occasional rugby match.

Blooming fantastic Friday evening at the horse and jockey live music great atmosphere wonderful crowd in ,great bar staff lead by the fantastic Alex👌

Lovely clean village pub with a warm cheers kind of atmosphere, recently refurbished. Our food was tasty , nicely presented and great value .

Great pub - relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Good quality pub food served with a smile at a fair price. We’ll definitely be going again!

An excellent pub. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere and lovely food.

To better attract families after the £240k investment I would recommend finishing the garden and picking up the broken glass pieces around. There were ash trays on every table and scattered around with no sign of a basic food menu. Friendly laidback staff and good ales but as a family we wouldn't return sadly.

Huuuuge improvement from the new landlady. Looks great and had a good atmosphere. Well worth a visit

Loved this pub. Friendly locals who enjoy a good chin wag

Love a 'proper' local. Always a friendly welcome. Cosy village pub, with well kept ales...

very busy, not enough parking but prices are okay and it does the job 👌🏽

Some really good music on Fridays...

This is a village pub, and has recently got new management, which is a huge positive. Over the last few years it has had several manager that seem to have run the pub down. Penn is very lucky with 4 pubs, the H&J is a proper pub - no food (but you can take in take aways, or get them delivered), dart board, 1 fruit machine, 4 well kept craft beers (including Southwold, Timothy Taylors), several lagers and draft cider. Friendly staff ; small garden (with tables); takes all credit cards (incl Amex). Open daily from 14:30 - 2 small car parks. if you want a pub then worth a visit, there are always a few locals to talk to !

If you've not yet been, go! A great place to spend time with good mates.. With a welcoming team, excellent atmosphere, great choice of beers and lovely garden areas to enjoy the outdoors, if you haven't yet been - go!

This place is closed down awaiting new lease holders.

Lovely to meet the new landlord, so nice to see this local pub back open! Rebellion beers on draught, and double up on spirits for a pound, and a fab beer garden.

Gone downhill this past yr or so - avoid!

Walking the Chilterns we traversed this small village with 3 pubs. The Horse & Jockey is a small pleasant pub tucked away by the church. 3 real ales on offer, the one sampled was a fresh barrel well served in excellent condition. Friendly bar staff. Does pub food which we didn't sample. Worth another visit.

Love coming here. Great local pub

Been here a few times now & we just can't get enough. Accommodating, food is 10/10 & the staff are just so laid back & friendly. Would highly recommend if you want a pool night or out for a game of darts! I always the girl up there now! ❤❤

Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Excellent service and wonderful staff, will deffo be going there again

Lovely pizzas and friendly staff. Recommend xx

Friendly staff . Pizzas are lovely . Be back soon xx

Very friendly, cosy little pub with a warm atmosphere, the new management are lovely and the pizzas are absolutely delicious 😋

Great choice of beer, wines & spirits. The pizzas are amazing!!!!

Lovely pub with fantastic pizza's and great range of drink all very reasonably priced! Kirsty and the team are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back! :)

A poor example of a pub! Storm Ciara, so we thought we’d go to our local. Dirty. Poor standard of decor and cleanliness. Asked when they would start the fire, was told; when it’s cold! There were no customers. Bar lady wanted to serve my gin and tonic in a short glass. Ale was cloudy and had gone off! Not surprised this pub was empty and the other 2 pubs very nearby were packed!

Was a superb place, and currently struggling. Hopefully will improve again soon

Always visit Christmas Eve with family & friends - a bit of a ritual & all wearing Christmas jumpers! Always busy, which is good however they ran out of Prosecco!!!! Also so short staffed that none of the tables were cleared. Needless to say we left early.

Had 'brunch' 2 mornings, Saturday and Sunday 19 & 20 October and 1 evening meal Saturday 19 October. Food was good although through no fault of the staff atmosphere not to our liking all the time. Hayleigh (hope that's spelt correctly,) was really good in dealing with this and made up for any detraction. Thanks.

I first had a drink here back in 1960, spent my stag night here in 1968 and thoroughly enjoyed the village atmosphere in this splendid unpretentious pub. Today I was attending my Mum & Dad's grave at nearby St Margaret's church. I will call in the next time we're nearby.

Ok for a boozers pub. Needs some tlc and to provide food. Come on Heiniken spend some money on what was a good village pub.

The Horse and Jockey is a great village pub. Drinks are reasonably priced and there was live music when we went on a Friday night, which was very entertaining.

We like this pub as we are locals but it could do with a little TLC

Proper old English pub, real ale, dart board, fire in the corner. Engaging conversation with the locals. Good night out.

£4.95 for a pint?! What a joke.

It's just great to have it open again and under new management. It's going to be refurbished so it may close again.

Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Good food , not too bad price for a pint

Warm and cosy, and the steak and kidney pie was excellent. Let down only by an odd smell of damp.

The best option in Penn. The staff is very kindly. I would definitely recommend the place. Good prices.

We they do not sell soda water and lime as cheep as the Swan in Burnham to help keeping drink/drivers off the roads £1-85,"is a disgrace. My opinion

A really friendly pub serving a great selection of beers etc with a wide choice of food served in a friendly atmosphere.

An old fashioned village pub with local following. Home prepared and cooked food, traditional pub grub, usually with specials available to supplement the menu. Food hygiene rating 4 (good). Reasonable choice of draught beers, including London Pride. Inexpensive and good value. Pleasant garden in summer.

Nice enough pub, £3.70 for a pint of squash, £1.85 for child’s squash. Only one portion of soup available and they weren’t busy. Sausages were worse than value range but baked potatoes were nice. Kids food came out first which is great BUT it was volcanic and served on hot plates, a no-no for children. Begrudgingly gave us some plain boiled rice for £1 as I had forgotten pup’s lunch.

Called in here for lunch for the first time in a long while (this was my local 30 years ago...) and had a very nice lunch. A good choice of food and everything was cooked perfectly. I definitely recommended the home made treacle tart, heaven on a plate! As well as the food being very good, the pub is still very traditional with a nice atmosphere and good ales.

Great choice of home cooked food and beers. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Small cosy old pub which is popular with locals who keep returning. Best testimonial is that. Tasty food and reasonably priced plus decent drinks. Tiny front garden with seats and tables but smokers retreat there so beware on some days.

Great country pub with a great garden and really good cuisine

Awesome pub that does scampi. Proper like, with cress on the side salad, fat chips, bit of lemon..lush

This is a great boozer, they really do keep a very good pint. It is getting very tired now though. So if you are there for good beer, this probably does not matter and it keeps the hipsters away!!

Eaten here a few times, good food at reasonable prices nice welcome. Feels like a real pub. Good parking. Specials board with interesting choices.

We had haddock and the fish was ok, but small. The chips were over cooked and possibly in stale oil. There was a menu choice of garden peas or mushy peas, but we had not noticed this and were not offered a choice. We were given mushy peas...not my favourite. The table was so sticky you had to pluck the glass from it. In the heatwave and temperatures of 30 degrees, some windows could not be opened as the handles had broken...and this was about 9 weeks into the heatwave...plenty of time for the owners to address the situation. Another customer said that a few nights ago, they hadn't been able to open the windows. I'm sure this story was repeated many times over the past 9 or so heatwave weeks....and the owners have done nothing. This shows a poor not-bothered attitude. During or after the meal when I paid, no-one asked "how was it?".

Old school pub that also serves hot food (only until 9pm though) as well as the usual snacks etc. Can get busy at weekends so wise to check if you want hot food.

Cute village pub good food close to good dog walks easy parking worth a visit

Nice cosy pub with good selection of food. Not 5 stars as outside garden and play area need attention

Averagee boozer....that my old man used to drink in during the 70s! Ugh!

Popped in here for few drinks with friends as staying in the Premier inn next door. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were 8 of us and the female manager managed to get us seated for dinner although they were fairly busy which was very appreciated. I had a vegetarian pizza which unfortunately I had to send back twice as each time it smelt like mince meat!?? Even my friends thought so too so I knew it wasn't me be fussy so I did not end up eating dinner.All my friends enjoyed theirs but mentioned for the sausage and mash meals the sausages were very bland. The puddings were impressive. A friendly, clean welcoming pub lovely staff would definitely go back if in the area.

Lovely local pub with charming garden area . Quiet during week but a special gem locally . Lunch good & attentive staff

Nice local pub, ok food. Not in a rush to bring your food but fine if you have time to spare

Nice local pub, always seems to be busy. Friendly atmosphere.

The choice of both alcohol and food was very good and reasonably priced. The waitress was extremely efficient and we would not hesitate to go again.

Very good pub, good selection of beers, food great

lovely atmosphere. Basic menu, not exciting but served nicely. Real locals pub. would go back again and again. Only small and gets very busy.

Good real ales... Locale approved. Good standard pub food.

Friendly, pub. Good atmosphere.

We visited with the in laws and our daughter who is 8 and had a fantastic Sunday lunch. Choice was beef or lamb. We chose the lamb which was nice as was the veg and roast potatoes. Really liked the atmosphere which was friendly and relaxed. We sat in the window seat which was bright and airy. The IPA was excellent.

Friendly atmosphere, welcoming to dogs too. Food is yummy, would definitely recommend.

Visited in the summer so expected the kids to play at back garden playground ( actual reason to chose this one), and it was dirty, wet and not maintained properly, probably not cleaned at all for ages! The choice of drinks was ok, the staff not as friendly as we expect as well. Inside looks quite cramped but is ok. Then a friend arrived to bring his child and was not too happy to see the conditions of the playground. Why having it if it's derelict? This same friend asked for a liqueur which was served max 25ml, instead of 50 ml, and charged fully. His glass was a joke, you barely could see the drink inside. When complaining, was told off by the owner himself, so I do not recommend, as there are much better around!

Good boozer with a great atmosphere. I don't know why they leave the TV on all the time.

Lucky to have it as my local. Good beer, location and atmosphere. Could possibly do with more guest ales vs permanent ones but that's a minor thing. It's a great pub without the frills.

Nice quite pub, great bear garden but not that great food

Great ale and atmosphere. Top marks!

Depends on which chef is on as to quality of food

A long wait for barely warm, overcooked food. Not what you want after a tiring 6 hour drive, despite the pleasant atmosphere.

In these days of the ubiquitous 'gastro pub' which, to me, all have the same feel, it's great to have a real pub in our village.

Good beer, friendly village pub

Me encanta ir a los caballos y Jockey!

Very well kept beers and good food, what's not to like? Throw in friendly staff and a real fire, lovely!

The Horse & Jockey is a great local pub with a vibrant atmosphere. Whilst not a gastro pub the food is good and quite often there will be themes, such as Pie night!! A good selection of drinks and good staff all leads to a good village pub.

Well kept Ales great village pub

Quaint little public house, I love the traditional decor and atmosphere here, the food is delicious and we'll worth a visit if you're in the area

Fui allí con mi esposa para una bebida tranquila y un pub de estilo simple comida.
