The Bell in Aylesbury Vale

Nice food, bit pricey, quite a dark environment but ok

Firstly asked to sit somewhere a bit quiet as it was busy and they sat us in our own room which was greatly appreciated and very accommodating. The service was great even though we were out of the way, they were friendly and very quick. the food was delicious and well priced. a very good dining experience in a lovely area and building

My family hosted our dear dad's wake at the Bell on Mon 19th. Everything was wonderful: the space, the food, the staff and service, it was all so easy and friendly. The close family ate together in the evening and the food and service were, again, excellent. Thank you all for your kindness and care xx

Great for a wake and for dinner - octopus superbly cooked

We came for a multi generation family meal for 10 people. Service was okay with a few hiccups but the food was poor for the price. Twice we had to chase down missing food and the trio of roasts was missing advertised elements (crackling) and was really over cooked (I didn't attempt the beef or most of the chicken, try chicken thigh takes some effort). If offered the chance to complain I always do rather than leave a negative review and while they did check everything was okay with the food they hadn't actually delivered all of it at this point so we didn't know! I have given 3 stars as some meals were deemed to be decent but the roasts sadly weren't and I wouldn't bother returning as there are much better options locally.

Beautiful pub, delicious food, wonderful server but the manager tried to put us on a tiny uncomfortable looking table and not in one of the stunning rooms that had no one in. Once we asked to be moved she did, and we are really glad we did.

Amazing Breakfast with Tracie ❤️

Sunday lunch today May 5th. Had to ask where we were meant to go. Booking checked and we were taken to a table. Table not pulled away from sofa...so we had to. Sofa NOT clean- had bits stuck to it. Service good. Cheerful lady organised drinks quickly. Husband had starters- good. Mains- John had lamb. Knife would not cut lamb. He suggests a steak knife may be better. I had slow-cooked pork. Tough. Roast potatoes were BURNT and difficult to cut. Service very good for mains-attentive waitress who brought apple sauce when I asked for it. Nice quality old place with good staff. Food not good I'm afraid. I very rarely complain but felt I had to today. My main course was not charged for. Next time I hope the Manager bothers to find out what was wrong from the customer in person.

Lamb rump Sunday roast was delicious on the Specials finished off with the Creme Brulee

We love it here! Kienan was a brilliant host, very polite and nothing was too much trouble, thank you.

Keenan was a great barman, top service and was very quick to sort us out

Went there for a couple pints with some mates, had lovely food, the service and speed was tremendous, especailly Olly, he was kind and got us what we wanted quick. Can't reccommend more highly.

Lucy was a very friendly and helpful waitress and we had a fabulous family meal there

We had a fantastic experience during our visit to The Bell at Aston Clinton. A special thanks to Jack, who was an outstanding bartender throughout our time there. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcome. Jack’s attention to detail and passion for what he does really stood out. Thanks again, Jack — we look forward to returning soon!

Food and drink were fabulous and Lucy was very helpful and attentive.

The food was amazing and we had a room all to ourselves which was great with the kids and Lucy was a great server.

Jack is an awesome barman, possibly the best in the whole of Aston Clinton. Always polite and his cocktails are to die for. We need more Jacks in the world.

Not as good as the Sunday lunch. The specials were excellent this time (April 25)

Staff extremely welcoming, helpful etc. Food absolutely delicious and lots of choice.

Lola was very attentive and food was excellent and large portions!

Fantastic food and lovely inside decoration. Dog friendly in the bar area! Outside is lovely at night with the fairy lights too. Perfect service from Sienna, very well cared for and lovely girl. Thank you for a lovely evening out x

We had a fantastic family meal & drinks at the Bell, the staff were so helpful, polite and always had a lovely smile on there face especially a very pleasant young lady who looked after us all, such a great service her name was sienna, she made our evening I must say 😊 we will be back again.

Was served by two very lovely lady’s Lucy & Sienna! Very welcoming and polite definitely will be returning.

Had an amazing time meeting family. Food was to die for. Absolutely loved the millionaire’s fries… and the espresso martini and brownie for dessert!! What made the evening even more lovely was the waitress’s. Sienna and Lucy were so helpful and always seemed to be around when we needed them. So nice to be looked after so well. Will be back. Thank you

Our lovely waitresses Sienna and Lucy were excellent. Had a lovely evening at the bell. Would highly recommend the stake

We’ve been to this restaurant twice before and had a fantastic experience each time: great food and excellent service, which is why we were really looking forward to our third visit. Unfortunately, this time we didn’t have the same luck. The service was noticeably slower, and the food didn’t meet the high standard we had come to expect. That said, we were genuinely impressed by how the situation was handled by the manager, Jodie. She was understanding, professional, and went out of her way to make things right. Her approach turned a disappointing evening into a reminder of why we liked this place in the first place. It’s because of Jodie’s outstanding attitude and customer care that we’ll be returning to give it another go. A true credit to the team—thank you, Jodie!

We had fish and chips and it really wasn't good, but the crumble and lemon tart was yum. Staff were really helpful.

I like it here.. good service, nice venue too

First time at the Bell for a number of years and the food and service were excellent. The staff were so accommodating with our strange food choices.

We had a family meal here today to celebrate my son's birthday. The service, food and overall experience was lovely. Could not fault anything. We will definitely be coming back again.

We have had lunch at The Bell, on many occasions, mainly for special family events, and it has always been a lovely experience, which is why we keep coming back. However, the visit last Saturday was, in our opinion, the best!! Nothing could be faulted! The food and ambiance were excellent, topped only by the service of Elise! She was always smiling, and very attentive, and a total credit to your restaurant team!! Thank you, and we will be back, again!

Good traditional Sunday roast lunch

Good staff but fish portion a little disappointing.

Staff attentive and friendly food excellent. Sunday lunch always scrummy

The food was lovely and the service was really good

The Bell is one of the only places I will go for a roast dinner as it is always outstanding and I know I couldn't replicate it at home! The whole family loves the menu- teen can have a burger while youngest and adults enjoy a roast. 8yr old loves the cookie and ice cream dessert and the adults enjoy the wide choice of wines on offer. Staff are always polite , helpful and attentive without being OTT.

The food, setting and service were exceptional. Took my.mum to celebrate her birthday. First time here but won't be the last.

Went with friends, who had made the booking, on a Saturday night at the end of January. When we arrived, we were told that our table was in the bar. (Our friends found that they had mistakenly booked a table in the bar rather than the actual restaurant.) We were not shown to our table, it was just pointed out to us and told that it was down there in the corner. The manner in the way this was done we all found it quite rude. Even though we were stuck in a corner of the bar we were not neglected and the service for ordering and service of the food and drinks was good. We had no complaints about the actual food as this was very good. When we came to pay (we were splitting the bill including a tip equally) there was a bit of problem with the restaurant getting the card machine to work, there seemed to be no signal. We offered to go to the actual bar to pay but were told no need. Finally, our payment went through. When our friends came to pay there was a query over the amount of tip we were leaving in the sense is that all it is, which we felt was quite rude. We did not have to leave a tip that is at our discretion.

Lovely friendly staff. Meal was delicious

I was there New year's eve the DJ was amazing the band was amazing and the service was amazing

Stayed in rm 8 with family room was clean and lovely had drinks and dinner which was delicious but breakfast in morning just to the night off Tracie breakfast host was delightful and had 2 full English and 1 child and 1 vegetarian which was a great end to our night

Had booked a table for my wife’s birthday Nice and friendly welcome by the waitress We had the Raclette to share which was really nice I ordered the fillet steak medium and my wife ordered the rib eye medium rare. My steak was so rare I had to send it back. By the time it came back my wife had already eaten her meal. Not great We didn’t fancy a dessert after that so asked for the bill. Total bill with a bottle of wine and a 50% off Mains voucher code, £82. Was it worth it? No !!

Went with my wife yesterday. Had a lovely meal. Tracy was our waitress. Have never been disappointed when visited will be back again soon.

Visited yesterday greeted by lovely lady called Tracy who looked after us throughout our meal. Meal came out on time . Very impressed with service. Have been before never disappointed.

The bell has always been one of my favourite pubs around, came in yesterday as I had a 50% of mains voucher. Food didn’t disappoint as per usual! I had the ribeye steak which was cooked perfectly and my partner had the same. Served by Amelia she did a great job checking in on us

I very rarely review anything but felt on this occasion I had to. This is a genuinely lovely pub providing excellent accommodation and really good food in a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. By far the best place we’ve been around Aylesbury. Great value for money compared to the soulless Aylesbury Premier Inn and Travelodge which are dearer (at least in the week).

Beautiful old building, excellent menu, good meal enjoyed by all present, I held a business lunch at the bell recently and was lucky enough to be looked after by the most helpful young lady I believe her name was Amelia, frankly she was nothing short of sensational, the lunch was delicious, and the service outstanding and I can't thank Amelia enough for the level of customer service she provided, highly recommended

came into the bell had a lovely meal with family. had the pie was exactly what i needed on a cold day. service was amazing served by Amelia she went above and beyond for what we needed. went for a pint at the bar afterwards and was served by oliver he was very chatty and did great too

Dined here with some friends a few weeks ago had a lovely meal. decor in the restaurant is lovely and meal was perfect from start to finish served by Mimi she was amazing

Lovely meal with my grandparents. 1 small hiccup with a missing food item was sorted quickly and professionally. We all ordered from the festive menu and very much enjoyed every last bit. We often come to the Bell for a yearly Christmas meal and the Bell never disappoints!

Very pleasant lunch and very busy so book!!

Celebrated a birthday here recently and the food was delicious and the pub was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Great, friendly pub with a fantastic atmosphere.

Good food and good ambience. However, it did feel a little rushed on this occasion, although that's probably inevitable for a December Sunday. We felt staff were hovering after 2 hrs as they presumably had a next sitting waiting in the bar for their table As we left the restaurant though, it was clear there were other side rooms which were not full (one with a log fire), so not sure why the rush.

Good choice of nice food in lovely atmosphere. Staff attentive and good with toddlers

Lovely atmosphere, great food and great stafff. Loved the fact I had the option to pay for a Christmas lunch for a someone homeless.

Went for Christmas meal, food came quickly but was cold not a great choice of non alcoholic drinks which was a shame but it was a good night with coworkers

My experience at the bell was amazing all the staff were wonderful and the food was some of the best food I have had in a very long time and also the service was great and fast and they made a little special dessert for my birthday which I thought was very thoughtful I really do recommend this place.

Really lovely Lunch, Prime cheese burger was insane. I will defiantly be back. Sienna was an amazing waitress and was very helpful and kind

Lovely experience, sienna was our waitress she was amazing, had a really good time I had the linguine and spent about £50-£60 overall really good time

We came for our company Christmas do. Superb food and service especially as the rest of the restaurant was busy. Only recommendation would be an extra bar person at this busy time of year, but this didn’t distract from an otherwise excellent evening. Thank you.

Posh pub grub, relaxing, unpretentious, great service, warm, cosy and unrushed. Salt and pepper squid to start. Needed a bit more of the excellent sauce Had the pork belly for main...just outstanding. Dessert was above average

This was booked as Christmas dinner with friends. Starter and desert were very nice but my main which was the veggie option was unappetising to say the least. Great lumps of vegetables served needing more cooking. No crackers or anything festive. Disappointing. The staff were very efficient and friendly as ever.

Warmly welcomed to the Bell at Aston Clinton. Although we had not pre booked a table,Aisha made us very welcome and quickly took us to a table.Drinks order taken and menus bought to table. Fantastic range of food on menus to suite all budgets and detailed information with regards to dietary requirements. Service was excellent and food cooked to perfection,great flavours and suitable portion size.

kienan served me tonight and was absolutely amazing at serving me and my friends, very helpful and lovely and very kind!!

Fabulous evening as always. Great food and wonderful service from the lovely bartender Evie

Would recommend but portions a bit small you need to order sides too which puts price of meal up slot!

Had an amazing lunch at the Bell, served by a waitress called lily, she did an amazing job as was quite busy! But food was amazing, I had the fish cakes which were out of this world, followed by a poached pear which again cannot fault at all. The decoration of the interior in the pub was also beautiful will definitely be back.

Very good Sunday roast nice meat. Good value

We visited the bell on Sunday the 17th November and it was brilliant! We had a lovely table for 10 in a private room. Our waitress was amazing, her name was Amelia and she couldn't of been more helpful. The food was great and very good portions. I would highly recommend the Bell and if you get the choice try to have Amelia looking after you!

Had an amazing meal our waitress Amelia was lovley will definitely return!

Lovely atmosphere, always looked after by the team, especially Amelia as she is so hard working and kind. Will definitely be back!!

Always a lovely experience, Amelia really looks after us she is always so pleasant and efficient. The team is such an asset to the business!!

Booked a table for Sunday dinner at 15:30 and was told just after 16:30 that we would need to vacate our table by 17:00. We have a 5 year old child who was still eating his food.

We were so looking forward to celebrating my sister’s birthday (who’s visiting all the way from Central America) over breakfast. Check on the website what time they stop serving it before making our way there, just to be told at 11:10 that they’ve stopped serving breakfast at 11…. 4 adults and two children. No explanation on why this was the case, but was just told they were finished at 11. VERY disappointing as we’ve seen the pictures and had high expectations. Wasted our time travelling there. Please change update your times so people don’t travel just for nothing.

Amazing vibe, amazing food. I’ve had the best halloumi chips ever. The bar could do with an upgrade (e.g. they dont have Cognac or Johnnie Walker Blue label) but the food is fantastic. Highly recommended

Good food and pleasant service. Good choice of ale.

Great food again at the Bell a little busy but we were celebrating a birthday so not a great problem tonight

We had a surprise 16th birthday meal for my daughter Saturday and it was incredible! We were given a small function room all to ourselves! I took up some decorations and a cake in the day and a staff member said she was happy to decorate the table on my behalf! Beautiful restaurant, love the lights outside - we got some lovely photos with the birthday girl! The food was delicious! Staff were kind and attentive to us! Honestly what a lovely restaurant/pub and I’d highly recommend to anyone! Can’t wait to return! Thank you for making my daughter’s 16th birthday special!

Good food Great Service Great fun Great outside

The Starters were excellent especially the scallops. The Sharing Roast was nice however the portion of cauliflower cheese was quite small for 2 people and the chicken was very dry., Also and odd amount of slices of beef therefore was not able to split equally between 2 people. service was prompt and friendly. the table we were given by a back door though seemed to end up a bit of a thoroughfare for waitresses to get to the booths at the back of the room so we were being squeezed past continuously. We would visit again but maybe not order the sharing roast and ask for a different table.

The Bell Aston Clinton is a delight with courteous staff

Lovely place , fantastic quality food , great friendly staff and service

The food and food service is extremely efficient, however, the welcome was very cool bordering on dismissive.

Excellent Sunday Roast, friendly efficient service Lovely venue & atmosphere . Tip - worth booking people turned away at 4.30pm

Lovely pub, I went for my birthday 🎂 friendly service and attentive staff.

Extremely helpful staff , good food and beer.

Ordered ramp steak rare, but it came out well-done. Changed dish to grilled bass, which was quite ok.

Place 5/5, service 5/5, food 5/5, rooms 4/5.

Ollie, the bar man was very helpful and was very kind

Len was a great bartender, she made really good conversation and poured a great pint 🍺

Lovely restaurant with lovely staff, always a nice time when visiting here!

Jodie the host was very kind and helpful.

Sienna did an amazing job at taking our food order and made sure we had got everything we had ordered which was lovely :)

Our first visit, and recommended by our AirBnB Hostess. We weren't disappointed. The seating, lighting and atmosphere made it a relaxing time for us after a day travelling. The food was beautifully presented, and very tasty - we had the lamb, followed by viola desserts. Our Server was Sienna, and she was cheerful and attentive. As we left, we felt well fed, relaxed, and loved the walk through the lit up bower. Ample car parking opposite, so no stress trying to find a space to park. We WILL return.

I visited The Bell and had an outstanding experience. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and inviting, with friendly staff i think her name was Sienna and delicious food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great night with the family or friends!

Food is always great here, my favourite place for lunch!

Great food, great service. Served by Lucy

Room a little tired and a slightly disappointing bathroom. Otherwise, clean and very good value for money. Excellent breakfasts and service with a smile from Lucy 😊

I took the Grandchildren here for a meal and have to say the service was excellent, one member of staff -Amelia went out of her way to make it a special evening for us, helping with the menu choices for the children who needed more time and lots of explanations,she was friendly and understanding and a credit to your team. Food was good, promptly served and as ordered. We will be back.
