The Bell in Aylesbury Vale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A great local pub, Great friendly atmosphere, good food and lots of space outdoors.

Great little thatched country pub on the village green in Chearsley. Great staff, drinks, food, and the other locals are friendly too which means lots as an outsider that doesn't usually fit in! ... Currently working in the area and it's quickly becoming my local!

Great little country pub tiny little village middle of nowhere Great selection of beer did not try food

Burger was burnt and my wife's food including fried eggs was cold

Really excellent country pub . Very welcoming excellent service and friendly staff and landlady. Excellent chips. Owlswick Morris dance here every year.

Called in for a spot of lunch & a drink on our way to Ascot. Great find. Perfect country village pub. Thatched roof, lots of character and very friendly hosts. Food was lovely. Apparently the rear beer garden is great but they had tree surgeons in when we visited so couldn't use it. Highly recommend. 😎👍🏻

Excellent Sunday roast, would definitely visit again!

Perfect lunch, food exceptional, service and atmosphere were brilliant. Highly recommend

A proper country pub, a warm welcome good food and great service.

Lovely atmosphere. Although very busy. Great food. Good service. Had two wins on the meat draw.

We had seen this pub advertised on best eating places and thought we would try it out . Just turned up and the service and food was faultless, my husband even had 2 deserts. .The atmosphere was very good and staff were very good Would highly recommend

Freezing day outdoors so fancied a place with a cosy fire and The Bell is one of the few pubs local to me that I knew would fit the bill. Abracadabra! Three logs on the burner, nice bit of banter with ‘the lads’ at the bar, great service and good food into the bargain. Still the best pint of Pride for miles and a reminder that this also has the best summer beer garden too. Glad to have come by.

Lovely pub. Everyone very welcoming.

Lovely pub, cosy & friendly on a cold day with a good menu & hot food well cooked & presented. Worth a visit.

excellent food, great service. thank you👍

A small but very atmospheric pub with excellent service and great good. It felt very homely and staff was very accommodating to our needs when we visited with our baby. Much recommended!

Very friendly atmosphere and delicious food! Thank you!

A proper pub with good beer, hearty food and a warm welcome. The wood burner makes it perfect for a winter warm up.

Great pub, great service, fantastic team especially in the kitchen, wonderful food. Great value. Thank you Sharon.

Lovely pub / restaurant we haven’t been here since our daughter was young .friendly warm welcoming staff , Dinner was very good rack of ribs and ham egg and chips bigger menu If you want . Ambience was lovely . Won’t leave it so long to visit next time

Great staff and service, good value food, lovely setting

Great lunch here today fantastic fresh tasty food the pizza was excellent and prepared to order. Big thanks to all the staff, you were so friendly and helpful.

Really enjoyed our meal today, lovely pub and great service.

Amazing traditional pub with excellently cooked foods. Plenty to choose from the menu and the portion sizes was very generous. Love the atmosphere inside and in the garden. We’ve been twice already and will keep coming back.

What a wonderful English pub. A rare mix of thatched tradition, excellent food, pretty gardens and fun. The staff are so friendly and it seems that everyone at The Bell leaves their worries behind as they come in the door. Thoroughly enjoyable birthday lunch with family aged 82 to 16yrs. Thank you - we all left smiling ☀️

Really good pub. Good selection of ales. Lots of choice for lunch. Good food and friendly service. Lots of tables outside.

A lovely countryside pub and local watering hall. This place oozes charm, and could be that postcard in your mind of a proper rural pub. It's a Fuller's pub with the usual beers served, augmented with cask ales, in a lovely thatched space with only a smattering of tables at the bar. There's a lovely garden space at the back (and a covered outdoor space in case the elements are against you). Parking is available but limited (with many cars parked on the road in front). The service is top notch with staff experienced, polite and welcoming. The food menu is the usual fare though quite extensive (sandwich, burger, pizza, pub classics like hunters chicken). Speaking of, the food we had was really tasty, well made, well sized and of top quality. I'm told the burgers we had were home made which is a real testimony of the team's skill. If you're in the area this is a top pub and is the type of village pub dreams are made of.

Lovely, friendly village pub. Long may they thrive

Absolutely fantastic thatched pub. Sharon and her staff make you feel very welcome and the food is stunning.

Amazing pub! Really nice staff, great food and fantastic for kids as there is lots of toys and climbing equipment with a slide!

Sharon had 16 guests arriving from Essex for my husband's 60th birthday. We were a bit nervous as we did not know the pub or the area, but we didn't need to be, as Sharon was soooooo prepared and helpful. Due to the weather, she had arranged inside and outside spaces for us. We decided to stay indoors as she had sectioned off an area for us with a lovely log fire, and the atmosphere was fabulous. The staff and food were terrific. We are going to visit again. Thank you so much, Sharon. (see, not all Karen's give one star and write bad reviews) XXX

Such good value and very friendly!

Lovely Proper Pub! Great food and fantastic service! Lovely outside area with lots of things to do for kids!

Great atmosphere, food is always to a high standard and prices are very reasonable. A real gem

Had a lovely Coronation drink here today visiting family. Lovely friendly bar staff and a beautiful old pub. Would love to try the burgers next time we visit! Thank you

Brilliant local pub great atmosphere Lovely friendly,

Fod and service was responsive. We had a big party of 8 and all the food came out at the same time. Amazed at the quality of cooked pizzas. Very filling portions and a cosy feel to the pub.

Lovely little village pub Staff very friendly and sandwiches was delicious

This place is just about everyone's idea of what a traditional English country pub should be. Facing the village green, the thatched building looks like it has just been lifted from the lid of a chocolate box, meanwhile it is equally cosy and characterful inside, with old wooden beans and an open fireplace. Ales are from the Fullers portfolio, including the excellent Dark Star Hophead. There is a decent, sensibly priced menu featuring all the pub classics and a bit more besides, plus a good range of pizzas and sandwiches at lunchtimes. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Great lunchtime visit on Valentines day. Certainly recommend The Bell for a good lunch and high quality beer.

A favourite watering hole when I’m in the area. I would love to tell you more but I don’t ever remember leaving this fine establishment. I do know when I’m there I have a cracking time though.

Sharon and staff are lovely hosts great place recomend to anyone

Good beer and we sat out in the Sunshine

What a great surprise… popped in for an afternoon pint in the autumn sun and at a loss as what to cook tonight I saw the Saturday night steak deal… two steaks and a bottle of wine for £35!! Impressed by the offering we booked and returned… great bottle of red and two of the best quality steaks we’ve had out for a long time… lovely peppercorn sauce too! 😋 Staff were great, thank you and well done… we’ll be back very soon.

Thanks for a delicious Sunday lunch today. We had a great time in the pergoda - the children had plenty of space to run around, which was perfect for us. The roast beef was tender and juicy, served with roasties, Yorkshire pud to die for and loads of veg. There was a good range of options for children and the best apple crumble of the year. The staff were all so kind and attentive and the food was amazing. Please send our thanks to your chef and kitchen staff. We shall be back!

Lovely little pub, with great back garden for children to run around in. Very friendly staff.

Greasy fish in batter terrible munch

We received a warm welcome and the service was excellent and very friendly. A good choice of traditional pub lunch on the menu. Food was tasty and decent sized portions especially the generous crumble and custard for pudding. We have lunched there a few times and have always enjoyed it. We will definitely go again.

A bit expensive on drinks.but a nice country pub

An ok pub, good beer selection, friendly staff and the food is consistently good. Rural location, nice garden, definiately worth a lunch time drop in.

Beautiful food, very fast service. The chunky chips were by far the best bit not greasy or overdone. Slightly crisp outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. The outside garden and park were very nice too. The app worked a treat and we ordered from the table. 100% will go there again and reccomend to others to try it.

Food good, huge portions, real friendly staff

Just amazing, a quintessential thatched English pub. Great food, great drinks, great service. I cannot recommend enough.

Wide selection of excellent pub food. Well kept beers. Nice atmosphere

Fabulous food,great service, really enjoyed eating here

Lovely village pub. Will be back!

Great little " locals" pub. Made us feel at home and the food was great. Highly recommended.

Lovely old style pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Good selection of food and drinks.

Friendly, good selection of beers but food continues to lack the finishing touches that people now expect, even from a pub.

Staff are lovely and the food is really nice. Its just a proper country pub inside and out.

Nice beer. Will return to try the food.

Excellent food and amazing staff

Pleasant old pub, cosy but spacious Fullers pub so fullers prices. Sunday roasts were really nice, wife had a veggie option, we rang beforehand and they said they would do a veggie option of vegetables. Staff attentive nice atmosphere!

Lovely traditional pub with a warm friendly atmosphere. Good range of tasty and reasonably priced pub food. Excellent homemade burgers. Good selection of draught ales too. Highly recommended 👍

We popped over for a Sunday lunch with the children on an unusually warm and sunny day. We had been searching for a nice pub with an outdoor play area so the little ones could play. We chose to eat outside, ordered our food using the qr code in the table and the food was decent. Staff were lovely, service was great. Such a lovely little pub!

Great atmosphere, attentive friendly staff, good beers and well priced home cooked food. Would definitely visit again.

The welcome was lovely, the food was great and the staff could not have been more helpful and food was really well cooked with homemade dishes the price was amazing.

Nice friendly pub food good nice garden out at the back good for children and at the front places to eat and drink plus the green in the summer for chilling out like this place.

This pub has a lot going for it. In a small village. Very good beer on hand pump which is well kept. Friendly service. Standard pub food, well produced and also more unusual food items. We will return.

Decided to try somewhere new. Brilliant! Proper home comfort food and portions 😁 Will be back!

This is a lovely pub with loads of options for where to eat. The seating in the pub is quite small but you have 3 options outside. There's a outside room which looks cosy and warm, a marquee in the carpark with benches and a patio heater. And finally you have the benches in the back garden. Had the veggie Sunday roast which was good bit didn't have anything to replace the meat. It's really easy to order and pay through the website.

I’ve been here a few times now for drinks and once for food - basically I’d highly recommend it. There is a car park at the rear which can get a little full but usually just big enough. You then have the beer garden 🍻 🌳to the rear of the actual pub which they’ve made a cracking job of. Last weekend we met friends for drinks and we decided to have food too, I opted for the Philly Burger 🍔 which is made with Slices of Fillet Steak - it’s VERY good!! Highly recommended from two of us who ate it. My partner had a meat pizza 🍕 which she said was good, and we also ordered a bowl of Nachos… again, very tasty and a huge portion! The service was top-notch too, which is really nice to see in current times as pubs/restaurants are short staffed often.

Excellent service and super friendly staff. Best local village pub around.

Only stopped for a pint. Friends ordered food but took quite a while, must admit, we were told that they were busy.

Lovely thatched country pub. Staff very friendly. Roast was so so but the desert was so yummy.

We booked in for a meal to break our journey and what a lovely surprise. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was superb. I would definitely recommend the hallibut - beautifully cooked and served with seasonal veg. A good selection of beers were on offer too.

Good location, food was average. Let down by no Wi-Fi outside. Pub should install a Wi-Fi extender so that everyone can use it outside. Otherwise this, in combination with no mobile signal, makes for a difficult ordering process which is mandatory with Covid.

Lovely lunch in the pub garden enjoying a sunny day

We’ve been meaning to visit all the pubs local to Haddenham since we arrived, pre Covid, 2 years ago. Fantastic beer garden that caters for all ages, hugely beautiful setting at the heart of the village, great character building and the staff can’t do enough for you. Oh, and the best pint of London Pride for a Country mile. Well done.

Best food I have had in ages ...service excellent

great place, staff very helpful and accommodating and have made a real effort with all going on with the Covid pandemic

Just great to be back in a truly great pub. Service and food first class

Lovely village pub serving reasonably priced delicious food, recommend the sandwiches!

Visited with a group of friends. We'd looked at a few pubs that were roughly half way between us all, and chose the Bell as it has a good range of options for our various dietary requirements. They have set up covered outdoor seating with heaters, so we had a comfortable afternoon despite the weather. They also have an app-based ordering system, though traditional menus/ordering available if preferred. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the food very tasty. The pub closed for a couple of hours after lunch, but the staff allowed us to sit and chat in their covered seating area for the whole afternoon, which was really kind and much appreciated. Thank you to the Bell. Will look forward to visiting again :)

Friendly staff. Clever order system. Fast service. Good food. Also dog friendly. First visit, halfway through walking Wychert Way. Would go back again. A member of staff even gave us a blanket from her car for my wimpy dog!

One of the best pubs I know and a deserving winner of the Trip Advisor best pub in Buckinghamshire.

We enjoyed a very tasty al fresco lunch here, with friendly and helpful service. We will be happy to make a return visit next time we are in the area.

Excellent food and service in a safe environment with lots of outdoor tables. First business meeting in a pub for many months. Oh and the sun was shining.

Great service! The food is 5 star definitely will be going back for more👍

Another great take out tonight. We are all praying that we all get through the lockdown unscathed and can continue to frequent this amazing English country pub. Pollicott friends.

we were taken there by a friend, and really enjoyed our meal and were given a warm welcome, we will certainly go there again, and will recommend it to friends.

My brother and I love this place - it's awesome.

My father went in there when he was 16yrs old we all lived in village and brought up there our fathers chair which was detected to him is in pride place

The Bell has to be one of the best village pubs we been too.. such a warm freindly welcome from the bar staff as you enter. The garden is amazing with a kids play area too and so much space to sit out there for food and drinks . Food is incredible and the staff are so helpful.. thoroughly recommend it..

This summer we have made Friday nights at the Bell a habit. What an amazing proper English pub this is, with lovely staff and great food. When the weather is fine, we walk, have drinks and eat pizza.Try it out, you will not be disappointed. Roger

Good service , excellent pub grub , great garden and seating overlooking the village green.

Friendly staff and nice food. They have been thoughtful about reassurances during the pandemic

during lock down the Bell has been a lifeline, excellent Sunday roasts, fish and chips, hunters chicken all to take away Thank you so much

we met up with my father here whilst the place is small it has a lovely charming friendly feel to it. The staff were very good and we had a wonderful sunday roast. I noticed they had a garden and a childrens play area. They also have bits and bobs going on there. Whilst we were there they had a meat raffle about 6 prizes and I was lucky enough to win one six lamb cutlets. It was well worth the visit and I would certainly go there again thanks.

Welcoming locals, charming employees and really unusual range of locally brewed and micro brewery ales and lagers. Lunch ended at 2pm but just when we thought peanuts and crisps were the order of the day a check at the kitchen advised that home made puff pastry sausage rolls were just coming out the oven. The bar hugging locals swivelled round to add that these are no ordinary sausage rolls - we are taking large lunch sized beauties. Seating inside and out with parking, we pulled up on our bikes from the circular pheonix trail heading towards Waddeson and having cycled for 20 miles were famished. Grabbing a pint and cushioned chair our plates were placed shortly after with these 6inch perfectly warm meat packed morsels. These are really homemade with wonky edges but deliciously light flakes of pastry. Wth the blackboard on the wall showing lunch and meal options, we noted that Sundays are busy and probably best to book due to the large home roasted locally sourced beef joint cooked complete with parsnips, cauliflower cheese and other trimmings and for Mothering Sunday - two other roast options are being added. We will definately be back to see if lunch matches up to the sausage roll standard.
