The Bell in Aylesbury Vale

Would highly recommend trying the Thai menu if you like your asian food.High in quality,taste and presentation and the staff and service as always welcoming and prompt.Me and friends always enjoy eating and socialising here and look forward to the next visit !!!

Called into the bell on our way to a hospital appointment, although the food was good, a choice with some meals, small or large. I was disgusted at some of the cleanliness, I used 5 baby were wipes to clean highchair, I could see leftover food on their before I cleaned it and the tables were disgustingly sticky from the build up of spray and wipe clean. Shame the pub up the road was shut, have always looked forward to lunch their.

Had read some good reviews but wow... the place is a gem! Friendly and attentive staff and the thai menu is to die for! All obviously fresh and cooked to order and very reasonably priced. Portion sizes are just right.We used to go to "the other place up the road" but feel it's gone downhill a bit recently with its "bikers welcome" sign outside. This is our new place to go!

I regularly visit this great little pub. It is friendly with two main great attractions, great beer and truely excellent Thai food. In my view this is the best Thai in Aylesbury (as is the Guinness). Take out food is of the same, very high quality

Always very friendly service and brilliant food wether its a traditional sunday lunch or Thai food !

Fantastic authentic Thai food served in this local village pub by very friendly and polite Thai staff.Enjoy good home cooked Thai food with a pint ,green red or yellow curries or noddles jasmine rice etc. Takes us back to Thailand!They also do take aways well worth a try for something different.Well done we will be back!

Good quality food (steak and sidney pie), served hot. My veggie companion was happy with the off-menu serving of salad and roast potatoes. Good beer. Will return.

Went for a good roast and had one with a good jam sponge after ! Just a good Sunday lunch. Fairly small dining area but a reasonable layout and fair prices.

Very attentive & friendly. You wait a while & that’s because the food is being cooked.When we visit our family who live in Bierton & walk to this pub ... that serves Thai food ? it’ is brilliant & it is really good ,simple delicious food . Check it out .

A small, simple restaurant with a short menu of Thai favourites. The food was authentic, freshly cooked and delicious. Prices were very reasonable. A very nice atmosphere without blaring music. Very pleasant service too. I am very fussy and hard to please on the restaurant front and so pleased that we found this place.

We had arrange to meet our friend in Beirton but this turned out to be a bad choice of day due to the snow on Sunday.Road accident meant she was 2 hours late so we popped in to get warm.First time we had been in so Coffee and soup was order of the day.Good service, lovely food and hospitality.Will definitely try their evening menu next time

Popped in for lunch. Quiet friendly pub serving good quality thai dishes. Portions weren't huge but prices very competitive and decent beer. Would come again

Have been here a few times. Have eaten a couple of times, Thai specialty tastes great. Service always good. Nice to pop in here for 45 mins while my child attends a club nearby.

IN 1974 I lunched on expenses in this fine old house which had a michelin restaurant. Now it is just an expensive pub. But nice with wooden beams and interesting nooks in which to drink from their gin menu.

Food was good but service not so good.

Visitamos aquí el viernes por la noche con mi marido. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Pedimos comida tailandesa. Tanto yo como mi marido dijo que era la mejor comida tailandesa que hemos probado. Fue todo los ingredientes frescos y el aroma y el sabor de la comida era extremadamente elegante. La presentación era precioso. El personal era muy amable y muy atento. Es de gestión familiar y realmente se demuestra. Era tranquila para un viernes por la noche, pero eso es lo que queríamos después de una semana ocupada. Había un ambiente encantador a pesar de ser tranquilo. Relajado, agradable y cómodo. Ahora esto se ha convertido en mi favorito y pub en uno tailandés - no puedo esperar a volver! Si te gusta este sitio, por favor tailandés realmente no te decepcionará. Gracias por una velada encantadora.

Fullers pub on the Aylesbury Road as you come into Bierton. This pub specialises in Thai food but also does a very good job of regular pub favourites such as Steak and Ale pie. Friendly and efficient service.

Ordered a takeaway from our local pub with Thai food. Food was extremely tasty and was ready on time. Would especially recommend the spare ribs, they are the best we have ever tasted.

We went to the Bell last night 8 of us to eat 2 for a drink ... we hadn't been there before to eat and Wow !! It was a lovely meal with great service ...We had starters to share ... prawn crackers We all had different mains mine was the beef massam curry !! Wow it was lovely ! The whole meal was amazing ... taste service portions ... we would defiantly go back and I would like to thank the staff for giving us a great evening ... we arrived quite late I did book in advance ! But they didn't mind at all ... fantastic ... thank you !!

My husband and I met friends for lunch. The Bell had been recommended to us by several people and we were not disappointed. As I am not keen on spicy food I opted for the steak pie which was delicious. The others had Thai dishes which were great and very tasty. So nice there is a choice of both Thai and English food. The gentleman who served us was very polite and efficient.

We visited The Bell today. The service was friendly and polite and the food was amazing. Myself and my husband had Thai food and both dishes were full of taste and we'll presented. The only downfall was it was pretty chilly. The staff turned the log burner up but we still felt cold throughout our visit. We will definitely visit again but probably later in the day when it will be warmer.

Primarily this is a very popular village pub with a small area for sit down meals. Yes they serve a small selection of Thai dishes but also a small selection of British dishes. The pub side which can clearly be seen and heard was justifiably busy on a Friday night. It appeared that there were just 2 oriental men serving both the pub and the restaurant clients and thus the service was very laboured. Our table was booked for 7pm and we left shortly after 10pm. The Thai food choice was limited but nicely cooked though if I'm picky, it would have been nice to have strips of chicken, not roughly cut chunks! The cost was quite reasonable, £70 for 2 courses for 3 people + 3 glasses of wine and 2 pints of cider. If I'm honest, I think I will try to find other Thai restaurants dedicated to being just a Thai restaurant before returning to this 50/50 split.

We both had the Green Curry, one chicken and the other vegetable, we asked for the vegetable one without the tofu which was not a problem for them. Both were enjoyed immensely. Polite and helpful service and a decent pint of London Pride.

Great customer service and fantastic food and rather than stick to tried and tested starters this time i had the Tom Yum soup it was light,fresh and the perfect starter before my main course. The only downside that I have found so far is, if there is one is, that the hospitality and ambience makes you want to stop longer than you initially intended.

We are lucky enough to live just down the road. We have only tried the Thai menu but the food is amazing. So tasty and fresh. I never thought I would find a better Thai when we moved here but this is the best. The staff are so friendly, fantastic service

Second visit with a friend last night, and asked the waiter about one of the items on the menu, and was exactly as he described. Very fresh, well cooked, and the service was excellent and not intrusive. Was very quiet on a Tuesday, but all places tend to be, so not a critisizm - more meant to be helpful, so a great place for delicious food and a chat! Definitely be going back! (And reasonably priced - £50 incl tip, for sharing starter, 2 mains, 2 rice, and 4 drinks!)

Yet another great meal with fantastic customer service to go with it. For those who post any negative comments regarding the lack of choice for Sunday lunch check the website first it gives the information of what is available or is not, before you go/ If I did not think this was worth another visit I would not return .You try it and make your own mind up..

We noticed that this pub serves Thai food a few weeks ago when we dropped in for a drink, and decided to give it a go the Saturday evening just past.Firstly, it is a small pub, with a layout that is split in half; one side for the drinkers and the other side for the restaurant. The restaurant has about 6 or 7 tables and all were full when we entered at about 7.30pm.The team behind the bar were working very hard to serve the Saturday night drinkers and customers in the restaurant; however it seemed to get a bit too much for them which lead to fairly slow service.But they were very apologetic, polite and helpful - which goes a long way to helping you forgive the slowness!We were a party of 4 and ordered starters of vegetable spring rolls for 1 and the starter platter for the other 3. Everyone enjoyed the starter and commented on how it was a large portion served with a nice range of dips - I had the spring rolls (you get four) which were cooked well and generously filled!For main course I order a Red Thai Vegetable & Tofu Curry with coconut rice; again the portion was large and very well cooked!The vegetables were cooked through not too crunchy but not at all soggy and the tofu was great!The others had Beef Massaman and Red Thai Beef Curry and everyone finished their meal and said that they really enjoyed it!Overall a great meal out and we will definitely be returning!Much better than all of the other specialist Thai restaurants in the Aylesbury area by a long way.

Great Thai food. Excellent service. Locals in Bar for atmosphere, diners in restaurant part. Can't fault it. Not tried English menu yet but very very satisfied with what we had. Why it's not packed I don't know, but the quiet unhurried ambience was just great. So why am I posting on here? Maybe I think the owners deserve more custom.

Went here as had good reviews but not what we expected very plain only 1 choice for starter which was soup and only a Sunday lunch on offer

This place is a lovely little gem.Very small but ideal for an amazing Sunday roast.The place isn't exactly child friendly but my 4 year old was made welcome.The food was amazing I can't not fault it at all....so tasty.The service was to a very high standard and you can quite clearly see the effort that is made with each serving.The place is clean and well decorated.The only criticism I have is the the knives are not sharp enough.Amazing place defiantly recommend the Sunday and the pudding are to die for.

I have driven past this place soo many times. It just looks like an old pub. My friend suggested going as they are also a thai restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, very nice interior, friendly staff and honestly the best thai food i've tasted. Good value for money. Quite limited on space and clearly popular soo make sure you book a table.

Four of ate here on Sunday. We arrived about 1.30 pm. The bar/restaurant is quite small but has a nice cosy atmosphere. Although we had not booked a table they were able to find us a table. On Sundays they only do roast dinners, but have a choice of beef, lamb, pork or chicken all with fresh vegetables, roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings. They also do two sizes (small and large). The prices were very good varying from £7.95 to £10.95 which is very competitive. Once ordered the meals came quite quickly. I had pork, which was slow roasted belly of pork which was utterly delicious, extremely tender with very little fat. The others also enjoyed their meals. We will definitely be eating here again.

Fully expecting it to be crowded considering it was Mothers Day was suprised to find it not too busy. A few families but not too many. Food again fantastic and the customer service from the owners impecable, nothing is too much trouble for them. Highly recommend here, it is in the top 5 of my current favourites

The Bell serves delicious Sunday roast lunches and the puddings are to die for! Real value for money and the family who run the Bell are delightful as well as efficient.Be advised though, the restaurant only has 8 tables so book early if you can.

Four of us had a wonderful Sunday roast at the Bell. The prices were very reasonable and the meals were delicious. The service was very attentive with a good range of beers. We would all highly recommend this pub.

Excellent price, small or large portions available, 4 meats on offer. The Bell has got it right excellent VFM and knocks spots off some places charging £5 more for a poorer meal. Try it and make up your own mind.

We'd had a wander round Aylesbury but hadn't found anywhere that particularly appealed to us for a Sunday lunch. On the road home we spotted The Bell and decided to see what it was like. Relatively small inside, but charming service. Very well kept beer. We had the "small" servings off the Sunday menu - thankfully, because they were perfectly adequate portions. The food was very tasty, piping hot, lovely fresh vegetables, great roast potatoes, perfect Yorkshire pudding. For meats we had chicken, lamb, and pork belly and all were unanimously declared first class. A great random find - we look forward to going back to try the Thai menu.

Our small group of ex work colleagues, which meets every couple of months, decided on a change from our usual Italian restaurant and, after some internet research for something different, I came up with the Bell which seemed to meet the criteria we had set and we decided to give it a try.Set in a small village where many houses seemed to be for sale, the pub is on the main road and has a fairly small car park. The interior gives an impression of being quite dark but there is a light and airy table which we took in a corner with two windows. We had selected the pub because of its mixed Thai and English cuisine. The menus for both varieties are fairly short but offer reasonable choice We all had the mixed Thai starter, which was good. One of us then had scampi and chips and the others Thai sweet & sour fish and Thai green prawn curry (unusually this contained a lot of peas). I accompanied my choice with garlic and spring onion rice which was very nutty. All the food was considered to be good. We finished with coffee, a bit on the weak side for me.Service was friendly and efficient. We dined alone until a couple of men, who had obviously been before, came in for a meal.Beer is Fullers. All in all a very pleasant experience. We may well go again

I have had the pleasure of visiting this pub on numerous occasions, as my sister and brother in law live very close to it, and have never left being disappointed with either the quality of the food, ambience or staff rapport, they cannot do enough to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, nothing is too much trouble for them and the locals make you welcome too. Prices for either Thai or English meals are very good however, the only downside is the price of beer but as it is a Fullers pub and tied it was not unexpected.

This was a new destination for us and we thought that it look quite nice from the outside and they were advertising both Thai and English food. When we entered we found that we were the only customers there despite it being a Saturday lunch (13.30). We were shown the menu straight away and asked what we wanted to eat. This was before we had even ordered a drink. it wax then that we were told that there was no Thai food served at lunchtime and were given the choice of 6-7 dishes and we also told that one of the dishes had sold out and another had only one portion left. We order and got a drink and asked if we could set up a tab and they were not keen on this.The meals themselves were alright and it did not take them long to serve us. When we had almost finished the meal a local couple came into the bar and ordered Thai food and were told that would be alright. The price of the meal was alright but the price of the drinks were expensive, it meant that we spent 3/4 of an hour there and spent over £20 on two meals and 2 pints of carlsburg. It was not somewhere that we would recommend to others.

I found most of the places to eat lacking near my hotel in Aylesbury. I made a 6 minute journey up the road to The Bell and found a fantastic little Thai pub. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Good selection of beers. Prices are probably a little above average but not expensive compared to London.

We have eaten at the restaurant at The Bell twice now while away for work. The Bell is within easy driving distance to Alysbury but is easy to miss! We've all had the Thai both times - it was amazing & very well priced. Would recommend!

Went to the bell due to good reviews and had a great Sunday lunch. Really well priced and large portions. There was a wide range of meats available too! Will defiantly be returning to check out the Thai food in the week.

We use The Bell regularly which is probably a good testimonial anyway but in the last month we have been there for two family occasions...once for the Thai menu and once for Sunday lunch.Food is always fabulous with both Harry and Parry extremely polite and charming as they serve in the restaurant and run the bar. In our opinion this is one of the best places to eat in the Aylesbury area...the quality is excellent at a price that makes it incredible value for money.The beer is always well kept...I've never had a bad pint in there. It's great to have a pub in walking distance that knows how to look after Fullers ESB!If you want 'quiet' then Tuesdays and Wednesday's are the best bet...other than that there's usually a convivial atmosphere provided by the the 'locals' in the bar that doesn't impose too much on the restaurant area.Always advisable to book at the weekend and especially on a Sunday for lunch.Looking forward to Thai again on Friday!!

we visited for Sunday lunch, the food was piping hot and very well cooked and presented. Although the menu for Sunday is a typical roast with a few other items like a beef lasagne, very good pie of the day and several other dishes there was more than enough choice ,Puddings were delicious and served with cream, custard or ice cream .We were so impressed that we promptly booked a table for six for another occaision. the staff were very pleasant and helpful and we will certainly visit to sample the Thai food which they also serve

I really cannot tell you how lovely the food is here! Our food was piping hot when we visited on 05/04/2015 and tasted delicious. After the kitchen being closed for a few weeks (staff on holiday), me and my partner were dying for the restaurant to re-open. We weren't disappointed, the wait was worth it! You will most definitely see us again soon :) Jake & Gemma

The staff are always friendly and very welcoming, there is a nice wide variety of great quality food.Everything is freshly cooked and comes as a good size portion, the Thai curries are a must! I have had several meals here and have never been disappointed. Definitely worth trying.

Been here many times for lunch, authentic thai food in a english country pub, my partner says it is the best Thai food she has ever tasted , staff are wonderful and attentive, prices are very reasonable and if you book ahead there is a 15% discount off main meals, sadly at the time of writing (mid March 2015) the chef is on extended leave until mid april, however give this a try you will not eat better thai food west of bancock 5 stars

We love the staff as much as the food! Always a warm and friendly welcome. We've tried both the English and Thai food and NOT been left disappointed by either menus.

We have been to this place a number of times and it has always been a lovely night - although a little on the expensive side, you won't be disappointed.

Always have a great experience in the pub. The food is delicious and always well made. The Thai is the best for miles around. They do a fantastic job in catering for customer needs.

The Bell is in Bierton a small Buckinghamshire village on the edge of Aylesbury. Not the place you would expect to find a quality thai restaurant... So I was surprised to find the Bell. It's a great place with great Thai food. Give it a go you won't be disappointed. Put aside the decor - it's nowhere near "thai authentic" - and focus on the food. It's delicious and the 2 gents who served were a breath of fresh air.

Great food and excellent service. It's really good to see the pub so busy and the restaurant full. I recommend either Thai or pie.

My family and I were on our way home to Wiltshire, and wanted to stop for a meal. We saw the bell purely by chance and called in. The service was second to none, and the staff so helpful and polite. Our meal arrived quickly, and was immediately apparent that the quality and presentation was far better than a lot of restaurants that we have been too. The food was delicious, and the cost of the four meals was far less that expected, and in all honesty was worth more. Highly recommended.

Booked a table for 2 at 6 this evening, prior to going to waterside theatre, Aylesbury to see Rock of Ages! What a great choice, the waiting staff were courteous, attentive, polite and prompt without being overbearing ! We ordered off of the Thai menu, and were very impressed with the quality of the food. The starters were tasty, the main courses were hot and with enough layers of flavour to keep the most discerning pallet happily occupied! Finally, the price at less than £40 including drinks, puts other dedicated Thai restaurants to shame!Well done all at The Bell!

Ate here on a Friday evening - unusually quiet due to World Cup! Choice of traditional or Thai food was good and we mixed between both. Quality of food was very good and the service attentive and thoughtful (one of our party can't eat dairy food so they recommended a dairy-free starter. Without prompting, after taking our orders, the waiter came back to ask whether a small amount of butter would be ok in the mashed potato which we thought was really impressive.A Fullers pub - so really good and to be recommended.

This family run pub is a real surprise; the brothers who run front of house are incredibly courteous and keen to please. We often eat there and have never had a bad meal, the choice of Thai or more mainstream food means that there is something for everyone. If I had to find a criticism it would be that the choice of wine is limited; Prosecco or sparkling wine by the glass would be much appreciated on a summers day by me!

Our family went for Sunday lunch here a couple of weeks ago after receiving several word of mouth positive endorsements.Service was perfect but the roast beef dinner we all devoured was excellent.It punched well above it's weight for a little village pubThe current offer on pre-booking makes it an absolute steal.I have many Sunday lunches around the country and in my local area including some in some higher priced venues - this is outstanding.My advise is get in now while there's not a long waiting list!

Looking for a last minute place for dinner and couldn't decide on anything in Milton Keynes that really appealed to us. We have to try all sorts of restaurants and thai food is one of our favourite cuisines. My boyfriend's client recommended a thai pub that was in the outskirts of MK but we couldn't remember the name so a quick search on google and we came across the reviews for The Bell. Whether it was the recommended pub or not, the food was certainly delicious! Brilliant flavours and friendly service! We will certainly be returning again!

We walked to this pub and were not even sure if they would still be serving food as it was nearly 3pm. It is a lovely clean pub/restaurant and the staff are so polite. We choose the small and he large Sunday roast lamb. It was brought out quickly and was delicious. The mint sauce and all the trimming were so very tasty. We both ate every single bit. We couldn't fault our experience today and will be visiting again to try the Thai menu. So glad we went in as it is one of a few places we can walk to and will also take our friends to it for Sunday lunch.

We visited this restaurant following rave reviews from my brother and his girlfriend. I had passed it by on many many occasions and following a disastrous visit here around 8 years ago when it was under precious management I swore I would never visit again. We arrived this evening without booking and were greeted with kindness and the utmost courtesy by the Thai waiter. He was attentive without being overbearing and simply appeared as if by magic whenever he was needed. The restaurant delivers both English and Thai food and this evening we ate Thai . Just delicious and would highly recommend to everyone. It's SUCH a joy to actually have KING prawns as stated on the menu as opposed to the overlooked unappetising "bullets" I've had in most other restaurants !! I was actually tempted not to put a review on here as if too many people know about it we may not be able to just visit ad hoc and get a table. It's just SO good though that it would have been unfair not to write about it. Ten out of ten for this absolute gem !

The Bell is one of three pub/restaurants in Bierton, and it's one of the best for food. There are small bar and restaurant (about 8 tables in the restaurant part) areas.The menu is mixed Thai and British, both types of dish excellent. Service is attentive and on the rare occasions when they do get overloaded in the kitchen they will let you know and apologise.

We ate Thai food and have not had Thai since being in Thailand. Awesome is all I can say.Pub is very friendly food was great, my only negative would be no cider like aspells or stowford .

We had the Thai food, which was all delicious and there was lots of choice. There was also a full English menu which sounded very good too. It was nice and cosy in there and the service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend it.

Went there for Sunday lunch, very good value and the Sunday roast was very good, great choice and quality.Will definitely return.

I go in a lot of Wetherspoons places and they are pretty much the same. In fact I don't normally report on any as they are simply cheap and convenient places to eat. This one was a little different and I actually left the pub licking my lips after an excellent meal and a perfect pint of Ruddles.

Do not understand why this place is not packed out every night. The food is amazing to the extent that we have gone back had takeaways which are just as good as eating in. You really must try this place if you love Thai food.

Firstly I hope I'm writing review of The Bell in Bierton as the photo is not correct! Visited this pub last night for the first time as heard it was now a Thai Restaurant. Smallish dining room very well decorated and good atmosphere. The food was delicious and tasted authentic Thai although staff were English. Maybe the chef was Thai! Thoroughly recommend this friendly pub and also very good value for money.They also do takeaway which we will using in the future.

went for lunch to this Thai with friends had a lovely lunch of starters and main course the service was excellent very attentive will go again Fab
