The Bell in Aylesbury Vale

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

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

Amazing Breakfast with Tracie ❤️

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.

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).

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.

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.

Great, friendly pub with a fantastic atmosphere.

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.

Not as good as the Sunday lunch.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Very good Sunday roast nice meat. Good value

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

Jodie the host was very kind and helpful.

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

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 😊

Fabulous dinner, wonderful venue, all topped off by the incredible Amelia, we were greeted with a smile, and looked after like royalty, food was superb, and nothing was too much trouble for our brilliant host Amelia, can't recommend highly enough

Lovely place! Very happy with the staff and service provided especially from Amelia and Lucy they go above and beyond and ensure everything to satisfaction❤️

wonderful atmosphere, food and service by Elease. Food was excellent and with a cheeky cocktail on the side what could be better!

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.

Went for a family meal , when ordering our meal, we had everything explained clearly and expertly by our waitress Amelia, and I was able to change my order from the menu, she could not do enough to help us and I appreciated this as I am hard of hearing so often have trouble in restaurants. The food was well presented and tasty but the customer service will bring me back.

Very good food and a reasonable price, the staff were attentive and friendly.

£16 for a feeble vegan burger with no fries. Just a small burger on its own, deeply regret not taking a photo to show how comedic it was. Miserable customer service but really impressive pub interior

Came here as we were passing through, Not many quality vegetarian options, so I went for the fig&Dolcelatte roast. The food was priced high but a low standard. Soggy greens / roast potatoes, and overly salted nut roast. The pub is beautiful inside but that is all you are paying for. Very dissatisfied.

Really pleasant service, well presented rooms inside for private gatherings, plenty of parking.

Had to wait at the bar to be served with one person serving, a big queue had formed and other stuff standing around chatting to friends

Good was alright, it was a bit cold but the meat was lovely.

Food was expensive and a little disappointing.

Beautiful building and very nice atmosphere. We really enjoyed the good food and drinks. Nice experience all in all. Would visit again.

Nice and cool in hot weather. Wide ranging menu

Food was excellent and plentiful. Service was very good. It was a 60th birthday and I requested a quiet location. We were next to two tables both with young noisy babies, far from ideal.

We booked for dinner on a Saturday night. It was a lovely atmosphere, the staff were really helpful and friendly. The food was amazing, very tasty, large portions and freshly cooked. We'll definitely be going again!

8 old friends met for dinner and an overnight stay. We had a fabulous time and the place was the perfect venue. We were lucky to have the private dining space so we could laugh and chat without disturbing the other patrons. The food was really good and exactly what you would expect from pub grub. The staff (especially Ollie) were very attentive and patient with a rather roudy , fun loving group. The accommodation was perfectly fine and breakfast was crackerjack. The only really minor (really minor) oddity was the DJ who started his set at about 5pm, built himself into a frenzy by 8pm and then was gone by 9pm! Thanks to everyone at the Bell for a great time.

Good food and service were delivered in very nice surroundings

Bottomless brunch excellent value for money. Food was amazing and so were the drinks! We were served by Aisha who was brilliant, lovely afternoon thank you!

I visited the bell with some friends on Saturday afternoon for bottomless brunch, what a great afternoon, the food was amazing and the waitress Aisha was very attentive, we had plenty of drinks in the timescale and could order whenever we wanted more.

The bottomless brunch was such good value for money...lovely cocktails and delicious food. Staff were brilliant. Highly recommend

A lovely village pub with a great homely feel. Great for meals in the garden or drinks inside infront of live music.

Bottomless brunch the first for the bell. We had a great time service was excellent from aisha the drinks were flowing and the food was excellent. 2 courses great value for money only thing is they should add a house beer because someone might like that. But great service just needs advertising more ladies love a bottomless brunch.

Had a great meal with my wife on her birthday. The fillet steak was amazing and her duck salad was perfect. Thanks to Bo for her friendly and efficient service. The bell never disappoints. Thanks. The Guinness 1

This used to be a very popular & high end pub/restaurant. It’s now virtually fast food. Order yourself at the bar. Disappointing.

Had a lovely dinner and stay at the bell. Great service and breakfast. Lovely room. Thanks to tracey and Lucy for the friendly and professional service.

This is a really chique pub. Fabulous garden and fabulous interior design. Very reliable service. I have been many times. Roast Beef excellent.

Food and service were exemplary. We were a party of 7. Not always easy to time food for such a group. Server was polite, smiling and nothing seemed too much trouble to her. My only reservation was about the area where we were seated. While I could see it could be curtained off for a more private small party, it was rather gloomy.

Every Wednesday I take an elderly gentleman who is in a care home out for lunch. We have been to about 8 or 9 pubs in the Wendover / Aylesbury area, and this is the first time that I have been very disappointed. I had high expectations as the car park was very busy. We had to eat in the bar as the restaurant was full, which was fine. I ordered the Rotisserie chicken, and my friend had the fish and chips. My chicken was an incredibly small half, and it was very very dry and over cooked. The word Rotisserie conjures up a juicy moist affair, but alas I would have done better to go to Kentucky fried chicken. It was also billed as coming with skin on fries, but what came was the usual frozen McCain type of cardboard fries, all of which made the price of £17.95 quite ridiculous. To be fair, my friends fish and chips looked good, and he enjoyed it. Finally, at no point did anyone show us any welcoming phrases like enjoy your meal, or when I came to pay, I was not asked if everything was ok, and neither the girls or the boy behind the bar said goodbye when we left. I just felt the whole experience was just a money making exercise with no love or care to be found. It would do well for the owner/manager to reflect that the customer does have a choice, and I know I will be exercising mine.

We had a very tasty lunch at The Bell & our waitress Aisha was very helpful & friendly. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

This is the first time very happy, will be back sometime soon

Been here a number of times but the food on our last visit was just very poor for the price! Garlic Pizza bread said “drizzle of Pesto” and was covered in bland grass tasting green gloop, it was oily and quite frankly inedible! The dirty burger was ok but a £16 burger should be better than this surely!! Margarita pizza was ok! The service was spot on as always but for £90 meal for 3 people ….. not worth it for the price! The toilets were very dirty (stalls) appreciate you can’t clean after every fella has a dump but both stalls were unacceptable. Sad because it’s a lovley building and the service staff seem to care but the food was well below par! Friday evening at 6.15 wasn’t that busy so felt like there was no care taken tbh!

This is a lovely pub and restaurant, we have been here many times with various friends and family members and everybody always loves it as much as we do! The staff are friendly and efficient and the service has always been perfect - we've never felt rushed or forgotten about. The menu selection is fab (and tweaked seasonally) and we've collectively tried almost everything - every dish has been delicious, much better than usual gastropub food, and they also do really nice cocktails! The decor inside is very pleasant, the restaurant area is stylish and modern, whereas the pub feels more casual and homely. There's also a nice garden so you can dine outside, and it's dog friendly :) Basically, The Bell is awesome, so we always go here if we want to be guaranteed an delicious meal and an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Went for a family lunch and the food and drinks were good. Cant complain. But the lunch was made by the waitress. A beautiful young lady called sophie think she was 18 she said Her service was brilliant. She was friendly,chatty polite and nothing was to much trouble. I would be making her sign a lofetime contract and paying her the world to keep her as employees like that are hard to find....she can work for my company any day. Giver her a pat on the back...a raise...day off....however you reward your employees

Service friendly, but drinks took ages to arrive. When you have a choice of only 2 steaks on the menu and the ribeye wasn’t available, thats a poor show.

The Bell always serves great food in a reasonable amount of time and the atmosphere is nice and cosy. The burgers are really tasty and the staff are too! It is way better than the Oak as that place is rubbish so this is clearly the best place to go in Aston Clinton for food.

Rooms are comfortable if a little tired but good value for area. Breakfast better than the Bel & Dragon in Wendover

Arrived for lunch. Very good choice on the menu. Staff really friendly and helpful. Meal arrived quickly and good size portions. Food excellent. Would recommend. Good value.

Fabulous meal, friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere.

The food at the Bell is always cooked to perfection, with excellent flavours. The staff are friendly and attentive. The building itself is wonderful - so full of history and the interior decoration is impressive. We'll be sad to leave the area in a couple of months, the Bell has always been a favourite of ours, both together and separately, but we're moving too far away to come back and visit.

We liked the friendliness of the staff and the choices on the menu. We chose it because we knew it had wheelchair access which many other places do not.

Had dinner here on a Saturday evening. It wasn't as busy as expected but I'd advise to book as it can get very busy. The decor and layout of the building is lovely. Staff are friendly. My biggest issue is the prices. I ordered half a pint of lemonade and it was £3.40. extortionate!!! A non alcoholic peroni 330ml was £4.20. I'd expect that for alcohol but that's extremely expensive. I had a Margherita pizza with added 'exotic mushrooms'. It was nice but the mushrooms were chestnut mushrooms. That is not exotic. My OH had the pork belly with scallops. It was a very small piece of pork belly but well cooked. The two scallops which it came with were the size of a 10p each and cost £5 on top of the pork belly cost. Again very disappointed. The lemon tart was too sweet and was smothered in far too much jam like substance. Maybe my expectations for this place were too high but I left disappointed. It's not often I'd advise to go elsewhere to spend your hard earned cash but I would on this occasion. I hope the venue reads this and considers what it could improve on.
