Le de Spencers Arms in Wycombe

Great traditional well run pub. Food superb.

Great pub food, lovely people, a country pub, just as it should be... roll on balmy summer nights

Always make sure we stop by when visiting from Vancouver

I had a fantastic time at Le De Spencer Arms. The staff were polite and efficient, the drinks were refreshing and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. I enjoyed the live music and the friendly chat with the locals. The service was fast and the bill was reasonable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun night out in a charming setting.

Exquisite quiche Lorraine, fantastic thick frys , friendly staff, ideal Wednesday lunch

A real gem of a county pub without any trace of a national chain, so rare to find nowadays. It was busy with locals but made me feel at home being not from round these parts😅. Food was first class, my steak pie had no trace of fat or gristle and tasted fab, the mash it came with was piping hot. My wife's ham egg and chips were pretty tasty as I nicked some of her chips and ham. Looking forward to revisiting in a weeks time and have booked a table given its popularity.

The friendliest of locals. Great service, great beer, great atmosphere, and always a warm welcome

Was visiting some local historic places and choose pub nearby. Greatly surprised by pub manager, meeting a true publican is such a rare thing! Despite being part of the chain, it feels like a family run pub. Young ladies behind the bar were very pleasant and professional, excellent service.

Stopped here for a weekday evening meal and a drink. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and can’t do enough for you. I had my dog with and she was spoilt by the staff. Great selection of drinks, the food menu is great too. The food was lovely (burger and pie). They also have a huge outdoor seating area and garden with kids area which I look forward to visiting in the summer. The location is a little strange but if you’re following the address on here your sat nav isn’t going crazy, it really is down a little country lane. Will definitely visit again.

Great pub in a fabulous location, good for a drink and/or something to eat any time of year. Great staff & atmosphere..... what more do you want from a pub?

We were late, my mistake, owners found us a table and were excellent hosts. Great food and good value. Friendly, cosy traditional pub with a great atmosphere. Service was spot on.

Excellent food, wine and beers. Highly recommended.

Super I Pub. Good fish and beer. I recommend it

A group of us had the Christmas lunch menu. Excellent food and service - highly recommend!

We are regular lunchtime visitors to this pub when visiting family. The atmosphere is generally buzzing, the staff are welcoming and friendly, the food is excellent - although the portions could be a bit smaller! The chips are some of the best I've eaten, crunchy outside, fluffy inside. There's a good range of pub staples and a specials board, with several veggie options. It gets very busy sometimes, and as food is made freshly there may be a long wait for your food to arrive. In the meantime, there are 2-3 real ales on the bar, and some nice non-alcoholic drinks for drivers. There's a huge garden with swings etc., with awnings over tables closest to the pub for some shelter. Inside it's rustic country pub style, with a small snug and two other seating areas within the bar. The car park is quite big, but note that the 'road' to it off the common has some significant deep potholes!

To celebrate a family member's 50th birthday we all had lunch at this historical, cosy pub. The staff were welcoming & friendly. Beautiful setting. The food was delecious & plentiful. It was served piping hot & everyone enjoyed their dinner. Would thoroughly recommend the roast - was very impressed with the veg (which arrives in separate dishes) so you can choose what to put on your plate! Love the gravy!!!! Can't wait to dine here again!

The roast beef tasted more like pork, in fact it most likely was pork, it is the only explanation for the taste Whatever it was, it was tough. Seemed to be warmed up cooked slices rather than a cut from a joint roasted in the pubs chicken. The deserts were all bought in, well at least they seemed to be. Well kept ale, but sadly too cold. The prices are low. Will not be eating there again.

Good food, good service. Will defo go back! Camembert was a winner.

Popped in here after visiting Hughenden Manor. Such a great find - food was very good a d service was friendly. This is one of those pubs that you'd love to sit in the corner of and just chill out for the day. Lovely atmosphere.

Great pub - great beer!! Visit often

This is a biased review, not for the food nor atmosphere but for the fact that on a sunny Sunday at 1 pm, with only half the tables occupied (the rest not reserved), we were instructed they cannot serve us food unless we had a reservation. Honestly, unacceptable.

Came here all the time as a child with my brother and grandmother for a bowl of chips and a coke after walking through the woods back in the 90s and early 00s before we moved to Devon. My wife and a friend of ours were visiting Bucks, staying in nearby Naphill, and just had to visit again. Nostalgia aside, this is still an incredibly beautiful building, brick and flint as is typical of the area, and features everything you want in regard to old wooden beams, a lovely fireplace, a snug and a large outside garden with plenty of tables. It is nestled in some incredibly pretty countryside and woodland. We stopped in for dinner, to begin with there are some excellent ales on, well-kept and a good selection. The menu is good sized whilst not being overwhelming, and I had Welsh rarebit which was delicious and a chicken, leek and pancetta pie- really good food in terms of flavour and good sized portions. Overall, it was an excellent night and the staff were attentive and friendly. We also popped in on a walk back from Hughendon the following day, with my brother as well and his wife for a drink in the beer garden, which we all enjoyed. Finally we also had a Sunday roast at the Le De, which was excellent, a nice selection of veg, cauliflower cheese, and I had the chicken which was really tasty with a nice gravy. Yes, we did visit this pub quite a lot in our stay in Naphill! So, overall this pub is just as pretty as I remember it and an excellent idea for good food. Thanks to all the staff for looking after us and we wish you every success in the future.

Hidden away with bouncy pot holes within the last 70yrds of its location. Good pubs let down by its access.

We've just moved to Commonside, been here a few times, food is excellent, plenty of choice, staff and service was great, definitely recommend

A fine spot to stop for lunch. Much outdoor seating and a good selection of food on the menu. Meals were OK.

Nice pub with plenty of spaces inside and outside. Play area for kids. The waiting time was a little bit too long but we understand because it was busy.

Food was ok. Waiting time a bit to long.

Lovely isolated country pub with character and large garden. Great choice of good pub food and cask ales. Friendly staff make it a real pleasure to visit and we shall definitely return. Beware, it can be difficult to find as it's on an unmade road and satnavs can take you to the wrong place, so consult an OS map beforehand. Well worth finding though.

Our group had lunch here after a walk from West Wycombe to Bradenham and Downley Common. It's hidden away but was busy so obviously popular with locals and we had a table outside in the garden. Staff were welcoming and the food was good.

Well hidden and worth a visit. Beer and staff were excellent.

We visited on the day of the airshow, so we expected it to be busy. It's great that they give kids a colouring sheet and crayons which my younger grandson immediately started working on. Unfortunately when he tried to move the paper, we realised that the table was SO FILTHY that the drawing had to be peeled off the table. I had rested my forearms on the surface to look at the menu, and almost lost a layer of skin as they were bonded to the table. We asked for the table to be cleaned, and the willing waiter came with a dry J cloth and a spray which he wielded around ineffectively. What tables need - at least once a day - is hot water and detergent, in a bowl, with a frequently-rinsed cloth or sponge. Faffing around with a spray and a dry cloth will not clean a sticky table! Ok, our meal was satisfactory but I would have expected it to be when one kids meal and one small, two medium fish and chips, two glasses of wine and one pineapple juice (the kids meal included a drink) came to a few pence under £70. The food was good, but front-of-house hygiene made me wonder what's going on in the kitchen. We won't be returning ever.

Great lunch yummy food and generous portions.

We visited today for Sunday lunch. Whitebait starter was hot a fresh, with a side salad. One beef and one chicken for main dishes. Both were fantastic, cooked perfectly served with all the trimmings. All of the staff were great. Very grateful that we booked a table for 12.00 opening time, as they were busy.

After a visit of anear by national trust site we whent there but the food service was not available ( we did not know as the reviews did not mention the food was not available the whoke day) so we just had a pint and whent somewere else to have late lunch

Fantastic pub and the staff made us feel welcome and the food was really good.just like a pub should be cant wait to come back.

Fantastic food & drink in a beautiful setting. The staff were excellent.

This is a fantastic find, such a great pub. Value for money, can't wait to visit again

The menu choice was great. The felt homemade. Staff all friendly.

Called in as a family group for lunch on Sunday. Nice pub garden with balancing walkways for the kids. Staff and customers were friendly and lunch was excellent with huge portions. The only small criticism would be the gate leading from the kids playground into the car park - lots of thoughtless people left it open during our visit which is dangerous for kids. A self-closing hinge would solve the problem. Otherwise a great place and we'll visit again.

Brilliant! Hidden gem and I almost don't want to shout about it in case it's too busy next time we go lol! Quiet, secluded location. Garden and play area for the kids. Lovely, friendly team. Good choice of menu, generous portions, delicious food which was well cooked and seasoned. We had a lovely Sunday roast and relax in the garden! We'll definitely be back soon! Thanks for welcoming us! x

Great location, friendly service. Lovely pub garden.

Great landlord and staff..lovely simple old fashioned pub

Had a family celebration here and a buffet was provided. Fantastic service friendly and professional. quality and quantity of food was brillant. First time in this pub it`s a little gem and a real find. Will definitely use again. Thank you for a great day.

Lovely pub with parking, decent amount of outdoor seating and an area at the bottom for the kids to play in, part of the kids play area was broken which is a shame but it was fenced off so the kids don't injure themselves on it. Staff where very friendly and all had smiles on their faces! :)

lovely staff, sat outside, got a bit nippy so moved inside. Comfortable and cosy. good food, very enjoyable.

Great food, friendly service even though it was very busy.

Great place with great atmosphere and the best fish ans chips I have ever ate! Fish so juicy and tasty with crispy coating…great chips and sweet green peas…oh man! Its simply the best!

Amazing first time at this pub the atmosphere was good the food was great and the the service was great too. Definitely worth another visit.

Lovely little local... Friendly staff and great beer and food

Fantastic people, fantastic food! Definitely going here again. Can highly recommend the Lamb roast 😋

Very friendly landlord and staff. Food is well presented and of a very good standard. The large beer garden is a wonderful place to chill in the afternoon

We stopped here for refreshments in the middle of a walk. It has a very nice and sunny garden with loads of tables. We didn’t eat there, but the food looked and smelled great.

A Sunday walk with lunch booked at The Le De Spencers Arms. Very nice Sunday lunch but what stood out for me was the warm welcome & hospitality. It was brilliant,

Great outdoor garden and covered areas for a pint in any weather

From our arrival to our departure this was a fantastic experience. Friendly and welcoming team here with fantastic diverse and quality menu and great range of drinks. This was a great evening - thank you to Mark and all the team we will definitely be back.

Nice homey vibe, good drinks and friendly staff

Nice friendly staff food is excellent, very relaxing

Lovely well run little Fullers pub tucked away near the common. Great area for dog walks followed by a nice pint and food was very good and reasonably priced too.

A real country pub with great atmosphere and staff. Mandy the barmaid is lovely and very attentive and a friendly atmosphere! Definitely worth a try.

What a super place. A proper pub, excellent Sunday roast and good beer. Friendly, efficient and good quality at a reasonable price. Dogs welcome and a happy, helpful atmosphere. Book ahead to be sure of getting a table. Open fire. Lovely place with good dog walking from the front door. Highly recommended.

There were supposed to be 10 of us for lunch today but three couldn't make it at the last minute, and the staff were fine cancelling their food order. They couldn't do enough for us, were really friendly, and the food was good. The garlic butter was the best I've had, to the point where I nearly fought the kids for it. Will definitely go back!

Great welcome with good value food. Always excellent

Great little pub hidden away in Downley- the Sunday roast is first class!

One of the best pub in the whole area, quiet and cozy. Staff is very kind and food is simply great! Certified by my table of italians 😁

Lovely place to eat, had burger one night followed by a delicious Sunday roast, the roast potatoes are divine!! excellent staff, very pleasant environment. Looking forward to going back.

Nice enough pub, busy with a long wait for food.

Great food again as usual at a reasonable price.

Went for dinner midweek in January. Lovely welcoming country pub. Large menu of good pub food, with fabulous specials board. Large portions of delicious home cooked food, we had homemade chicken pie with triplecooked chips, amazing lamb shank madras. We plan to be regulars! Highly recommend

Love it ,very friendly and very good service, we will came back

Good pub and lovely food, book to avoid disappointment

Really good food and prices but take care on the road to it

Hidden pub but we’ll worth a visit for something special! Well managed, great food and good experience! Thank you!

Friendly pub frequented by walkers. Current best option on the menu is the fish and chips - thin and crispy batter and thick succulent cod. Closely followed by the lamb tagline with couscous. Sit outside in this nice weather - comfortable seating area under permanent gazebos. 24/12/22. Just discovered they will serve beer in mugs (with handles) but you have to ask for them.

Great place to have a drink. If you want food, even better, the bar staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is quality.. a typical friendly pub.

I have been coming here since 1974 when I was a young lad starting out in life living at home in Downly with my parents. The pub has changed very little apart from the staff. Food was great and the staff were perfect, on top of their game. Pity I don't live closer as I would definitely make this my local.

Went here yesterday for a roast and to meet up with family. Found it from a Google search for dog friendly pubs and what a great result. So lovely to find a proper local that hadn't lost it's community atmosphere by trying to be too "gourmet" or "wine bar". Very welcoming, wonderful food and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be going back. Many thanks to Mark and his team for a fabulous lunch.

Definitely a local pub. I imagine the garden is great in summer. Good beer. Friendly staff

Visited lunchtime Saturday. Busy but the landlord found room for four of us by asking, nicely, if some regulars would make room. Home cooked food was excellent.

We booked our family catch-up get together here after not seeing each other since Covid. We booked quite a way in advance and pre ordered our food which turned out to be a Godsend because we didn't need to wait for ages on the day...

Another great meal, great atmosphere and friendly staff

Walking group of 20 people for lunch. Good beer, lovely food and excellent service.

Friendly pub with nice varied menu. Always a good specials board with "comfort" food.

Wondering customer service. Friendly staff and local customers. Family friendly.

Absolutely recommend, its the first time we have been, and cant wait to go again! Made to feel so welcome and nothing was to much trouble, had 2 children with us, 6 and 3 and they were catered for perfectly Thankyou for a much needed...

I brought my friends from NZ here to my favourite pub so that they could experience a typical pub lunch and they loved it. They loved the friendly staff and the traditional English pub environment, especially the huge fish and chip portions that we had...

After a lovely visit to national trust nearby found this pub on Google. Lovely pub with plenty of outdoor seating as quite small and cosy inside. The food was amazing and staff so welcoming and friendly

Great food, wide selection and plenty of veggie and vegan options. Reasonably priced and good quality outdoor seating. Dog friendly.

We have been to the Le De many times. A very cosy and friendly pub with great pub food. The owners are very welcoming and go the extra mile for you. If you want a cosy pint in a country pub, this is the place...

Wonderful place, we went on a Sunday and the atmosphere of this pub was fantastic, a lot of families, and kids playing in the garden. We ordered a courgette soup that was delicious 🤤

Had a great lunch here before a local walk. Really friendly staff. Great food. Nice atmosphere. Good location for walking locally.

Lovely pub. Very friendly service. Excellent Sunday Lunch!

Another fantastic lunch. Very accommodating as usual. Nothing is too much bother for the staff here. Fabulous fish and chips: A great variety of food on the menu. All fresh and home cooked. Always look at the specials board above the fire place.

Lovely and friendly team, very dog friendly, great drink selection.

Had a lovely lunch. Friendly service thank you!

Very nice large garden and good menu

Really fabulous staff. Excellent food and service - all in a fabulous setting. An unexpected gem discovered by chance. Thank you!

First visit here but won’t be our last! Lovely seating areas outside and a great place to enjoy Saturday lunch. Never had chicken tikka burger before but I can highly recommend! Friendly helpful staff.

Such a fantastic pub with really friendly staff. The food is excellent every time and I enjoy my visits back to my home town.

Family wedding and they did a wonderful job. Great publican and staff.. thanks for a great day

Very nice place to go and chil It was sunny when we went. So we sat outside in one of there shaded areas. Drink and food were nice. Just the ticket to unwind.
