Disappointing! Cheap produce, frozen vegetables and a very mediocre Yorkshire. I took my wife for Sunday dinner and wow what a disappointment. Even the drinks were cheap and mediocre. I have been visiting this pub for more than 6 years. It was one of the best in the area. However, it has changed. The warm friendly interior has been stripped out and replaced, it’s like all the old charm has gone. Avoid, I can’t believe such an amazing pub has been reduced to this.

We booked a table for 6 in the restaurant for a family lunch. The food advertised on the website looked great. The menu choice in reality was very different, very basic and one that we would not have booked a table for. I had sausage and mash. The sausages were the most basic you could imagine - have the owners not realised that there is one of the best butchers within 50 metres? The batter on the fish was soggy. The chips were average at best and to top it all, the service was poor. My 81 yr old parents gave feedback after the meal to the owner (I believe) as they believe you should give honest and kind feedback enabling improvement. The feedback was received, but no apology made and no adjustment to the bill (although Dad would have paid in full - it wasn’t about a discount). It was so disappointing as we’re local, have eaten here before and the pies were fantastic. This new business (under new management) will fail without drastic improvement - there are too many other choices and your reputation will spread very quickly. Also, perhaps learn to apologise when people are clearly trying to give you constructive feedback kindly. There are so many better places to eat which is such a shame as this used to be good. I had a quick look through other reviews after I wrote this - didn’t want to be influenced and read them before my review. I note that the owners don’t respond to reviews - is this simply because there are so many poor reviews? By not responding, it suggests that you don’t care and I’m sure that you do. You have some fabulous reviews, but outweighed by people really unhappy with their experience. I wish you the best and hope that you do something about this.

This used to be a lovely pub/hotel but is now run down and shabby. The rooms looked nice enough but the heaters didn't work and the shower was a trickle of cold water. The pub was a disaster. We didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't comment on the food. The location is good. West wycombe is a lovely historical part of high wycombe and the pub is a short walk from the hellfire caves. With an overhaul of the pub and repairs to the rooms, this will hopefully one day be a nice place again.

Okay, Americans. Ben Franklin was known to stay on the local estate. If you want to know the bizarre details, come visit. The pub has been here since way, way before that. Imagine he sauntered up to the bar and groped barmaids, not necessarily in that order. Not as honorable a man as we were raised to believe

We stopped here by chance after going to the daws hills wine tasting and couldn’t be more impressed. We got the schnitzel (£15) and batter fish bloomer (£10). It’s lovely to see someone who was proud of their work and answered my questions about the food. They are under new management so any reviews over a month old are outdated. I overheard you talking about menus items and I think the schnitzel would be amazing in a Alfredo dish

The room smells of stale smoke. The shower is in the bedroom separated only by a mouldy shower curtain. The bed is so soft and uncomfortable. Very overpriced for what it is. Charged for early check in even though the room was ready.

Terrible place, no welcome, no assistance with bags with a disabled guest. No toilet paper, rusty shelf and mirror, the worst wa the dangerous shower the went from boiling to freezing.

Stopped here for lunch recently. Really grim food - I can't imagine how they justify charging what they do for what they serve. They also couldn't manage to bring two lunches out at the same time. My husband was done eating the thinnest hamburger I've ever seen before my tuna melt came out. Now that was a sad sandwich. Bar staff also need to NOT take personal calls on their phone while working behind the bar. Honestly, just don't bother going.

Amazing place, amazing staff, great room full of history. The food was amazing, just what we needed after completing tough mudder. Location is amazing and just a small walk from hell fire caves. Also amazing locals if you engage with them. Thank you 👍

This is a review for the "restaurant". Honestly, I wanted to take a photo of the breakfast that I ordered, but my phone was too embarrassed to make the pic. 2 stars is very generous, honestly. £14 for the two smallest sausages on the planet, two pathetic mini rashers of bacon, half a tasteless tomato, a barely cooked egg, and some beans. Oh, and a small glass of apple juice. The owner should be absolutely ashamed to produce this kind of offering, which is probably the worst value meal I have ever had. No wonder it was empty. For context, take a look at my profile and you'll see that I rarely leave negative reviews - it really takes a lot for me to do so. But this was an unforgettable experience for all the wrong reasons.

Worst experience I've ever had. Service was completely absent. They had no food on the menu and when we finally did order drinks they failed to turn up. We walked out and went to the Dashwood Road house instead.

I've been searching for a bakery that could truly rival the pastries I had in Italy, and I finally found it in Green Delight. Their croissants are flaky and buttery, their cannoli are creamy and perfectly sweet, and their tiramisu is the best I've ever tasted. The staff are incredibly friendly and passionate about their craft, and the bakery itself has a charming, old-world atmosphere. If you're a fan of Italian pastries, this is a must-visit.

Great taproom and food from Ginger Wings were fantastic & tasty. (Could have been a bit hotter though). Only were stopping for one pint, saw the lovely food coming out and stayed. 👍

After a long day sightseeing the streets of London and lugging my suitcase onto the train to High Wycombe, I managed to get to my hotel room I n time to watch the live Friday night football on Sky on my laptop. Then the app failed so I dragged my sorry body across the road to Yates. Entering the pub, I stood inside the door scanning the empty pub for a tv. Rugby on one, lots of slots but the game (LeedsUnited) was on in a corner. I then pulled out my wallet and fidgeted with my cards to find my personal one, all good and they served Heineken, all good…. I walked up and asked for a pint. The manager waded across the barman, “I’m sorry sir, I think you’ve had enough to drink tonight “. Eh? “I’m stone cold sober, I’m fit to drive a car”. He said he had been observing me and that I was intoxicated. I genuinely thought he was joking but no, he bragged in front of the staff that he was the licensee and had made an irreversible decision. I asked if I could just watch the game, he refused and called his bouncer. Btw I am a 63 year old accountant unlikely to cause a fight in an empty pub. This clever manager exercising his business acumen was clearing a near empty pub at 8pm on a Friday. My parting words were “no wonder your pub is empty on a Friday night when an idiot is in charge”. I didn’t get his name but I’m sure it’s Dick…
