The Blackwood Arms Country Inn in South Bucks

Sean, Ness and their team looked after our group of 13 couples superbly. We had exclusive use of the garden marquee for 3 hours from 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. No deposit or pre-ordering required, we just ordered from the regular pub menu. Good food served efficiently in a cheerful manner.

Once more we had a sumptuous meal, this time celebrating my wife's birthday! My son kindly covered the bill and caught up with Samir, the Head Chef. Delicious, piping hot and beautifully presented.

Omg, amazing pub!!! I cannot rate this pub enough. Visited on a girlie break away for my friends 60th. Pub is beautiful with horses in the field behind. However the food, was bloody amazing. Restaurant quality for sure. We had a selection of starters, which we shared. All of them lovely. The chef came out telling us about The seafood grill. My only complaint would be, the description on the specials board, didn't do the dish justice. If the chef hadn’t come out, I wouldn’t have ordered it, as I thought it was just grilled fish. However, it came in a beautiful creamy sauce with bread, the portion size was massive. Worth every penny. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. However, best bit for me is, we weren’t staying far away from home!!! This means I can go back and take my daughter, who has coeliac disease. The menu has loads of gluten free options. Almost forgot to mention the staff! We were really looked after and the staff were fab, very friendly and patient with a group of 7 chattering women!! Thanks for a wonderful memorable evening.

Thort I'd grab some lunch bit did not realise don't do food on Monday which is fair enough then asked if I could have a cup of tea and was told that she did not put the eern on on Mondays to be honest the bar women was very frosty from the start I even asked if there was a kettle on the premises so I could buy a cup of tea. She said no I've had much better experiences here and met with a warm welcome today was the opposite I've never met this older women before but she was rude il not be returning such a she as I've enjoyed some good steak there

Such a wonderful, friendly pub. Staff were wonderful, as a person on my own visiting the pub I was superbly looked after. Staff were so kind, they went out of their way . The chef was amazing going way beyond what is expected (thank you so much). X Chelsea and Emma were so friendly, i felt I belonged and part of the family. So caring. This pub is wonderful and highly recommend x Thank you from Emma x

Quite how we found the Blackwood Arms we are not sure but delighted we did find this hidden gem. Our third visit was on our return home from watching Burnley at Chelsea. It’s always a plus when you receive a warm welcome and that’s exactly how we were welcomed. We were soon seated and from that moment we were looked after promptly throughout by the lovely and helpful staff which was no surprise given it has been like that on previous visits. The food, again, was outstanding with all four in our party able to enjoy three courses having managed to arrive on time. Our thanks to everyone there for making our visit so special and we look forward to visiting again when the opportunity arises.

Called up about 4/5 weeks prior to book a table for Mothers day lunch and offered a 12.45 booking which was great. The pub was busy (as expected) and made to feel very welcome. We were seated in the marquee (which the main advantage of more space vs. inside) quite close to the entrance. Both the heaters were lit and didn't feel much of a chill. As tables go, it wasn't the best table as you see the coming and going from the team/ chefs, and on one occasion, they needed ice with the machine located just outside where we were sat. It's not ideal and the team member did apologise for it (which was appreciated) Ordered three roast beef, which is perfectly cooked on the rare side, plenty of fresh vegetables and we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was enough for the three of us. Bit of a wait on food arriving (to be expected on this Sunday) and generally when we've eaten prior never had to wait overly long. Service was 100%, food and drink quality 100%. Chef came out personally to ask how everything was and took time to explain to our daughter what they used to flavour the roast potatoes when she asked him. Would I recommend ? - Yes (in colder months, I'd ask for a warmer table) Would I go again ? Yes

Here for the roast. Vegetarian option of nut roast was a BIG disappointment. I thought I'd be getting a slither of nut roast with yorkshire puds and veg, gravy etc, the reality was no roast Potatoes weren't great, no puds and no gravy, so not technically a roast. Shame really as food was tasty but chefs need to understand a veggie can enjoy a roast without meat and the trimmings and still deliver a roast. Potatoes need love too.

Beautiful old Pub, we were made to feel really welcome. We parked up our motor home over night. The food was absolutely first class we had steak and kidney pudding and fish pie. Both meals were cooked to perfection with a fabulous selection of seasonal vegetables. The team are really friendly and chatty. We will definitely be going back.

This is such a fabulous pub! Beautiful location, lovely building with a cosy and characterful interior. We have been coming here for Sunday lunch for some years now and the standards are consistently excellent. The food is amazing with the best vegetarian option I have had in any pub anywhere (goats cheese bake)! And my friend tells me that the roast meat dishes are equally perfectly cooked and delicious too. Dogs are made very welcome and it’s a such a pleasure to visit here. An absolute gem!

lovely location in the woods and countryside staff were super friendly and we had a wonderful time with our puppy also coming along, The food is fantastic well cooked tasty and served in a short time the roasts were spot on and the fish and chips was delicious. We also had deserts and my goodness these are worth the visit alone!! had a wonderful night and will certainly make this somewhere we visit more regularly.

We were staying at Clivenden house, which was a short drive from the pub- we booked ahead as it was a Friday night, very warm welcome upon arrival, the lady that looked after us was so helpful and the food was delicious, I had the chicken from the specials board and my husband had chicken pie. Definitely worth a visit such a lovely pub.

Two hour walk before lunch and then on to Footy at Burnham v Egham. The three of us reckoned the food was brilliant. My Steak & Kidney pudding was especially good and the "jus" was out of this world. I wish I could present carrot, broccoli and cabbage "al dente" as good as this. Only one disappointment. No cola in bottles, my mates had great real ale, so I had tap water which was surprisingly good as I live in hard water Sarf London. Wish I could afford to live close to this wonderful watering hole ! Many thanks. Oops, forgot to add how helpful was the staff. I had Very muddy boots and was welcomed, even by the chef who took the trouble to ask "how was the meal"? Thank you Blackwood Arms.

Love it! Great food, great staff, great location. This pub is one of my regular haunts, and I am privileged to have it nearby.

We loved this place, all the staff were so friendly, the service was perfect and the roast beef was the absolute best! We even spotted a local celebrity. We will definitely be going back again very soon!

Blackwood arms never disappoints, food is amazing and my son says the fish and chips is the best out of all the ones he has tried....Mr Kerridge could learn a thing or two from their servings, the only thing I would say is if you don't like your veg al dente on the Sunday roasts ask for it to be done for a couple of minutes longer.

Food was outstanding and the chef came out to check to see how it was. Had the bangers and mash (onion gravy was so good) and shared a Camembert. Definitely returning

Relatively quiet evening in December. The pub is in a lovely setting and inside the tables are nicely set out. Has a great country pub feel about it. We have been here multiple times but the Camembert is always very popular along with the whitebait. The burgers are very generous, the roast turkey was delicious and again the portion was massive with excellent vegetables. The steak was fine. No room for pudding but will definitely return

Literally the best roast lunch you can find within miles… super friendly service, gluten free options, super atmosphere, dog friendly, our go to pub - wouldn’t go anywhere else!

We booked a meal for Saturday evening as part of our journey home having watched Burnley beat Fulham. Despite our arrival being delayed by 30 minutes we were still made very welcome. There were four of us who all had two courses, starter and main course, and drinks. Everything was spot on and really enjoyable. We’d like to make a special mention to the lady who took care of us. She went above and beyond and even gave us extra gravy because she knew that northern boys love gravy. It was our second visit, the first at Easter 2019, and again it was a very enjoyable experience which will more than encourage us to make a return.

Four of us visited for lunch last Thursday. It was excellent. Shared whitebait followed by fish and chips, grilled mixed fish, fish pie and Xmas dinner. All delicious and generous portions. The pub is in a lovely location and cosy and welcoming inside. The staff...

We had our Christmas get together here today. The food (steak and kidney pudding!) and the service was absolutely first class. All washed down with an excellent range of ales

Outside of my own home this is the best food I have had outside for a very long time. All the staff were very attentive and could not do enough for us , we were a large party and we all felt very special when...

Excellent nut roast! All the food was good and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly andcefficient and mulled wine was a nice bonus

We had an excellent time. The staff really took good care of us and the food was brilliant. We would highly recommend a visit.

Had a lovely time at The Blackwood Arms with family. Not too far from Burnham Beeches for a walk and really enjoyed the scrumptious roast beef. Impeccable service and a lovely afternoon

Arrived at this cosy characterful pub on a dump and murky Sunday lunchtime but what a warm welcome we received making our long drive worth it! This pub is located in a beautiful woodland setting and it's hard to believe it's so near several busy...

We visited this pub for the first time half way round a walk through Burnham Beeches. Muddy boots welcomed and a log fire awaited us. Such a warm welcome by bar staff who showed us to our table although we were a little early. Three...

I rang to book and was offered a small table which I said was fine. When we sat down the table next door was vacant and lunch service was coming to an end. About ten minutes after we sat down a staff member sat at...

The recent shining reviews are spot on, cannot fault the pub at all. some had crabcakes, some had chicken, both were very well prepared and delicious. Portions were just right for us and service was impeccable. A lot of pubs could learn from this one....

Cant rate this high enough! From our arrival the team here were on point, getting us seated, drinks, menu and then orders. The pub was really busy but the staff didn't miss a beat, friendly and attentive throughput even when it was getting busier. The...

Wow!!! Lovely country pub that has been in Midsomer Murders no less. Never had such good pub food, it was excellent as was the service and the hosts - very friendly. I had moules frites, friends had fish grill, crab cakes and a delicious chicken...

I stopped in here by chance, what a lucky encounter. Great pub, fantastic food but the main thing was the service. Chloe and Emily - superstars. Please drop in and experience the essence of an ‘inn’.

A red plaque by the entrance informs visitors that this pub has featured in an episode of 'Midsomer Murders'. Set in an idyllic location amongst the narrow lanes of Burnham Beeches, and not the easiest pub to find, one can readily visualise this pub in...

We visited here while we were down visiting family who live literally 5 minutes from here. My first question was why haven’t we been here before. Lovely country pub with a very warm welcome from both the staff and the owner, who took the time...

My boyfriend and I came here last week to celebrate our anniversary and we were not disappointed. Sean and Ness have really gone above and beyond trying to make eating outdoors a good experience. The marquee had heaters, cushions, lighting, candles and much more to make it so cosy. The food was tasty and we left feeling extremely full. Keep up the great works guys.

Booked a table for our meal last night, the menu was extensive and the food was superb, the service was second to none, the lady who served us had been working there for only a few weeks but dealt with us very professionally even finding time to chat with us for a few minutes, we ate in the marquee with heaters near us which we found very comfortable, take no notice of the small minded complaints this place is a gem, thanks for making my wife's birthday memorable

Outstanding food, service & ambience. They were very accommodating to our new Labrador puppy Barley. Beautiful setting, sat in the marquee nice & warm with the heaters. The sticky toffee pudding was out of this world! Am sure we will become regulars!

I booked for four for Sunday lunch as pictures on the website showed a marquee with heaters, it wasn't a very warm day but these were never turned on so we got very cold and had to put our coats back on before we finished our meal. The food was very mediocre with one slice of beef draped over a single roast potato with a small amount of gravy on a cold plate, the mixed veg of carrot, broccoli, and cabbage was barely cooked, cold and was all served mixed in one very cold bowl. There was no additional gravy to pour on the veg which was just cold and dry. When we told the waitress about the cold plates and food she did apologised but this didn't make up for having cold lunches. The desserts were very nice and hot! When we ordered flat white coffee's we got a black coffee with a very small portion of separate cold milk between 3 of us, which when added to the coffee in cold cups made it a lukewarm coffee, when bringing this to the waitresses attention she was totally in the dark as to what a flat white actually was - possibly the machine didn't have directions for this! After spending £136 I expected better and have certainly received much better food and service in other establishments.

I felt compelled to write this about the Blackwood Arms after seeing two poor reviews recently. We visited yesterday for lunch with friends. We had a table in the garden under the vine pergola. The garden itself is small but well laid out with views across the countryside. So a good start. The service and food were excellent. The menu is varied and should suit everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, made even more special as it was the first time out for ages. The Blackwood Arms is a regular haunt for us as we love walking in nearby Burnham Beeches. We have no hesitation in recommending it.

We've been to The Blackwood Arms many times. The staff are welcoming and the inside is cosy. However, for when the weather gets better, there is a huge garden which backs on to a large horse field. Very picturesque. The food is also amazing; check out the pies.

A few friends decided to book The Blackwood Arms after seeing their outdoor marquee on Facebook. It was really cosy with the outdoor heating. I thoroughly recommend the game pie on the specials board. Everyone was very friendly and we will definitely be back again!

I’ve lived in this area for over 20 years and wish I’d found this little gem earlier! I’m always a. It wary of a Sunday lunch in a pub as to be honest, you can often cook better at home. I need not have worried here as the roast beef was lovely, nice and pink and melt in the mouth, my wife had the ‘small’ portion but that was more than enough! Rounded off with sticky toffee pudding and crumble and custard which was to die for, to top it all great value for money!

We had an amazing lunch. Food excellent ambience great. In these surreal times we were made to feel safe and totally relaxed. All staff and management were following government regulations. As it was a beautiful afternoon we went outside to enjoy the beautiful setting. We were shocked to see a group of young women exiting the pub not wearing masks. When it clearly stated that any movement entering, leaving or using the toilets required you to wear masks. As this is also a government requirement. When the Landlord challenged them on this they became argumentative and churlish. Actually trying to make him feel in the wrong. He asked them to leave. It did not spoil our wonderful time but did make us think and appreciate what publicans have to go through on a daily basis to keep us safe. Thank you Blackwood Arms for providing a beautiful establishment in surreal times

The Blackwood arms is a wonderful pub with delicious food, a beautiful garden to sit in and fabulous and friendly staff. The Sunday lunch if so tasty but if you don’t come on a Sunday then the Camembert, the Cajun chicken burger or the bangers and mash are great. The staff are kind and attentive and the manager is very welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will be going back many more times.

Average roast dinner followed by shouts and screams from the drunken landlord for dessert. Seems like this is a common trend looking at other reviews. Not entirely sure how he still has a business as can’t imagine they have any return customers. 5 twenty-something girls entered the pub with masks, all used their own antibac as none was provided and kept to ourselves. We were promptly kicked off our table after 1 hour 20 minutes and obediently picked up our things and rushed out - as the closest table to the door and not crossing paths with anyone in the 2 step walk to the door from our table we forgot our masks in the rush. We were then greeted by the aggressive and extremely intimidating landlord sitting on the seats with his friends clearly marked ‘do not sit here for Covid reasons’. We noticed him on exit because of the plume of smoke we had to walk through from his cigarette right by the door. We decided to sit on a bench outside to finish our conversation and suddenly we’re met with abuse being shouted from the man we assumed must be a drunk customer who then turned out to be the landlord himself. Telling us we were ‘poisoning his pub and the old people, clearly we don’t give two s**** about old people’. At first we simply apologised and tried to explain that we were rushed out and the proximity of our table meant we were within 1m of the door but you’re right, were sorry. For some reason this seemed to provoke him further, funnily enough this was all AFTER we had given him our money and business. I have never experienced anyone be spoken to like that, let alone a paying customer. I can only describe it as terrifying, disgusting and a really really awful way to finish what had been a lovely day. I was stunned that none of his friends were willing to step in and stop him from f***ing and blinding at us. Really a bit embarrassing. feel for his staff who were lovely, imagine if we’d actually done something wrong! A mean who does not have a way with words haha and clearly is a regular occurrence. A drunken man on a power trip who went out of his way to make us feel extremely uncomfortable. Wouldn’t wish upon anyway. Avoid at all costs.

I don’t normally write reviews but this incidence was so appalling that I felt I had to.Vile abusive landlord, safe to say I will never return and will tell my friends to avoid this place at all costs. Unfortunately it seems that Sean, the owner, has been abusive to many customers after reading other trip advisor comments and would really benefit from attending a customer service course.My visit started off very well, we arrived with our face masks on and waited outside while a waitress found our booking. We had a pleasant meal and paid £100 for 5 roasts and got up to leave. Our table was just 3 steps away from the door and there were no other tables surrounding us.As we left a man, who later identified himself as the owner, was sat on a bench right next to the entrance, clearly not 2 metres away from people entering and leaving (picture attached), he was smoking and as I left had to walk through a thick haze of second hand smoke to get out. As a non smoker I really didn’t appreciate this. We then sat on a bench on the other side of the road to the main pub to order more drinks. We were met with a comment from the owner about not wearing our masks when leaving the pub, we apologised instantly and explained we completely forgot and explained we had been sat right next to the door. He then started to get excessively angry and abusive, he said we are the young people killing the ‘oldies’, that he would have to pay a fine and lose his licence if we were caught (not in fact true), he proceed to make comments saying “do you think you’re too posh to bother wearing a mask”(not sure where that comment stemmed from). After ignoring all of these comments he then started to shout louder, swearing every second word and clearly wanted a confrontation. Ironically, Sean, the owner, was sat on a bench clearly marked ‘do not sit’ as a Covid precautionary measure, so for someone who is acting so righteous and screaming the rules, they were in fact not following their own rules.After we said we wouldn’t return after the way he spoke to us, Sean told us to f**k off saying “I don’t care if you never come back”! What a way to treat paying customers who had already apologised for an honest mistake made...! Utterly disgraceful.

We were expecting great things according to the reviews. Its a great place & lovely beer garden Lovely couple took our booking so we were expecting good food & service. Upon arriving we stood there for ages. Then we told one of the waiting staff that we had a booking. She just shouted out at someone to help us. Right ! Both of us had a dodgy tummy after eating the fish pie. We called the duty manager & were assured they were cooked fresh daily. Anyway i spent the day feeling sick - didnt think it was at all that tasty. No seasoning & very liquidity in filling. The service was average. No check backs no extra care. They just bought the food & put it on the table. Every times we asked for something else the staff were lovely & attentive. Must say that. Underwhelming experience- will not ho back again. Covid measures adhered to.

Absolutely disgusted with the landlord at The Blackwood Arms. Drunk, yelling, swearing at for not wearing a mask to walk the 2 metres from our table back outside. We had apologised and in complete honesty, completely forgot to put them on (which I understand is not acceptable). But to be sworn at, yelled at, humiliated and told he couldn’t give a **** if we never returned to his pub and left a trip advisor review.. was unbelievable. Bullying 5 23 year old girls is not what I would have expected having paid £100 for a roast dinner. In complete and utter shock that anyone could treat someone this way, never mind customers. Absolutely disgusting behaviour and we will, obviously, never be returning. A very disappointing end to what otherwise would have been a delightful day out in the countryside. Sean is letting his lovely, friendly staff down. Having read the many other customer reviews it seems we were not the only ones exposed to this horrendous behaviour. I’m sure Sean will have a great excuse as to why he acted like a toddler, as he has for all the other bad reviews. Pathetic.

The people working here are extremely friendly and welcoming. We felt very comfortable as soon as we came in. There's a good selection of food and what we had was great. My wife had the chicken, ham, leek and thyme pie with roast potatoes which was lovely, I stole some. I had a homemade beef burger with the chefs special spicey salsa which was fantastic. The best part though was the service from everyone, including the manager and especially Emma - she's the best. If you're looking for good food, a great atmosphere and fantastic service this is the place!

Visited for Sunday lunch. Excellent food, great service. Have adapted to the current challenges with flair. Will definitely return.

Beautiful country pub. Warm, welcoming, decent comfort food, great views, great beers. Just the ticket!

Before the lockdown My wife and a friend visited this place and she was so enthusiastic about it that she wanted and insisted that we should pay a visit at some point .The original plan was too drive down to Surrey and eat in a pub somewhere. Unfortunately we experienced some traffic and we had to change plan and that’s why I suggested to go to this place much closer to home. After a short drive here we are in the middle of the forest, the location is perfect! Although it seemed quite fully booked they squeezed us in. We would have preferred to eat in the beautiful large garden but because of the above we had to eat inside which in a way was good as we had the whole place to ourselves. The menu was quintessential English. We started with Whitebait to share which were quite tasty followed by Steak & Stilton Pies. The flavour was superb with a succulent gravy and Jus on the side. Although my wife seemed quite happy with the quantity of meat I might have been a bit unfortunate as mine was not so meaty. We ended the meal with a Sticky Toffee Pudding luscious and wicked followed by an acceptable Coffee. The young staff were courteous and professional. To make the day more pleasant we were joined by an unexpected guest! a little chubby robin appeared which apparently is a regular here, hopping around and alighting on a chair adjacent to me. Yes, I would like to go back sometime in the future even if it is not “Eat out to help out” and try their Sunday Roast because We don’t just go to eat somewhere because is cheap but because is good!!!

This fabulous pub has always been a delight: friendly staff, delicious food and a good choice of wines and beers. Since reopening after lockdown they have managed to keep the relaxed atmosphere whilst keeping us all safe both indoors and outside. One of my favourite places.

A number of us rang ahead and were told it was open for drinks and food, with no need to book. When we arrived the employee in charge that day was both aggressive, rude, and short on detail, refusing to accommodate the group and then chose to be particularity rude to the birthday boy. Lovely setting and perhaps complacency has started to set in, manners cost nothing. A terrible experience for the whole party, such a shame.

Found this beautiful little place when lockdown walking, it’s in a chocolate box beautiful village and is the quintessential country inn. Charming hosts Sean and Vanessa (apologies of the spelling is wrong) looked after us, all outside for now, looking forward to trying their food when the kitchens reopen! Defo worth a visit, booking a table in advance would be advisable!

Lovely little pub serving great food. We popped in by chance today on spec. The ‘proper’ pie was fantastic and the House burger was delicious. Not a fan of pre-dressed salad (I prefer without) so might be explained to customer. Be nice to see a meat and veg dish for low carb lovers. Would definitely go back.

This is a lovely little pub but it’s very small. The garden is lovely so this is less of a problem in the summer months. As a vegetarian I wish they had more options but I understand they are a meat and veg type place

We arrived for lunch after the kitchen had stopped serving but still they offered to rustle something up for us, and indeed we were offered the whole menu. How very kind was that. How lovely to have ham eggs chips and peas (often not available in pseudo gastro pubs, too common I suppose). Great pie of the day. Friendly staff, and we were very happy that they fed us. Beautiful setting, the blue tits were in droves on the tree in front of the pub. We shall definitely return.

Went at late notice on a Wednesday evening for dinner for three of us and our dogs which are very welcome. Food and service were great, loved the new soufflé.

We had lunch at the Blackwood Arms in the busy Christmas week after a walk in Burnham Beeches in what's become something of a Christmas tradition for us. We'd booked a table beforehand. The pub's an ideal place to call in at after a cold winter walk. It's small, cosy and atmospheric, and there's a roaring log fire in the grate - the heart-warming aroma of burning logs permeates the place. After we'd seated ourselves, we ordered our food and drinks, and both arrived remarkably quickly bearing in mind how busy the place was. The helpings were generously sized. The staff were both friendly and attentive, despite the pressures they were working under. I'm sure we'll return to the Blackwood Arms next Christmas.

Excellent Saturday lunch in an out of the way yet surprisingly busy location. Very good staff. Probably best to book a table.

After a very enjoyable, but wet walk across the hills, this cosy pub was the lunch stop - great. Decent beer, generous portions of well cokked food, swiftly and cheerfully served. Offers to sample the various beers before buying. Already arranged another walk based around the same pub.Closed Mondays and the car parking is not great. From the walker's perspective, all-day opening for the pubs locally means 12.00, so no coffee stop!

This used to be my local 25 years ago. I remember queues of people waiting to get in for Sunday roast. Beautiful home made lasagne and salad. Satisfying Cumberland sausage with chips eggs and beans. Perfect on a cold day! The landlord was in the Guinness Book of Records for having the most real ales in a year - 1200 odd. It is in a beautiful quiet location hidden away on the edge of Burnham Beeches. My friend and I met for a reunion lunch last week. The pub has been tastefully refurbished inside, with soft lighting and candles on every table. The atmosphere and location is perfect for a country pub. The outside is virtually unchanged and still lovely. The choice of beers was very limited and ordinary. We shared whitebait to start, which was okay but gave the impression it had been bought frozen. I then had chicken pie, made specially for the pub apparently, but again it was ordinary and lacked flavour. It was served with a plain dollop of mash and some vegetables that looked like they had been hastily steamed in the microwave and were quite bland. My friend had the fish pie, it looked okay but he didn’t comment on it. The staff were lovely and I would definitely come back for a beer and crisps. The food needs seriously jacking up. When there are so many fantastic beers to choose from these days it was disappointing to see such an uninspiring choice. In summary, lovely atmosphere but just needs more passion in the food and drinks department!

My Boyfriend took me there on Thursday ...Beautiful little pub ...We had wine ... and I had an amazing dish - mixed grilled seafood with some toasted bread , that was absolutely delicious, He had pheasant stew - which was also fabulous...Absolutely love it and can’t wait to be back again to try some more..Atmosphere is so lovely and cosy... owners are very lovely .... really recommend this place ...

My wife and I had lunch here this week. The food is excellent (fresh and with an admirably concise menu!) and the service friendly. The only negative is that it is so popular that parking is a challenge.

Lovely pub, very friendly staff. Always amazing food and service is outstanding. Definitely recommend a little detour to stop for food and drink.

Fabulous food served by really friendly staff. A really romantic setting. A must go destination pub.

My sentimental attachments to this wonderful Burnham Beeches pub go back almost 25 years. But sentimentality aside, this pub is lovely, with a cozy fire, a gorgeous garden, great food, friendly people, and nice range of real ales and more. Well worth going out of your way to visit if you're in the area.

Was very hopeful that this quaint pub would produce great food. I chose the fish pie which was truly dreadful. Only salmon detected and a thick topping which comprised mainly cheese breadcrumbs. The consistency was awful. Tiny shreds of salmon! Won't be returning

Popped into The Blackwood for an impromptu dinner and pint after a lovely dog walk in the Beeches. The pub is in a lovely setting, is dog friendly and serves good food and a lovely pint. We sat out in the marquee with our dog. Lovely patio heaters were lit to give a warm and cosy feel. The staff were friendly and very hospitable. We had great pub food staples,a burger for me and ham egg and chips for my wife. Both were lovely!

Came here with nieces after finding our favorite pizza place closed.

Had lunch yesterday lovely setting ..but food was bland and very expensive ... mixed fish platter had little taste the haddock was dry and overwhelmed by a saffron sauce... no vegetables just bread.... not very inspirational.

Stopped here on our walk through Burnham Beeches. Quaint, cozy pub with two areas of outdoor seating. Beautiful day! Lots of beers to choose from. We had a few pints, peanuts and chips and continued on with our walk! Make sure to stop. Food is supposed to be very good as well!

Great food, gorgeous small traditional pub all very upmarket but welcoming, very rustic and atmospheric, dog was made very welcome

Came for Sunday lunch just gone, arriving at the pub we were looked after well by staff and shown to our table in the garden... service was lovely and so was the food the only downside was the underlying stench of sewage in the garden which was a bit off putting, but as it was such lovely weather we decided to just continue our lunch in the garden. If our experience had finished here this reveiw would have been a different story. However upon paying our bill at the bar a man that I can only assume is the landlord barged past us and demanded a drink from the staff behind the bar, showing my suprise the clearly inebriated landlord repsonded by telling/shouting at me "there is a que". We were quite taken aback and embarassed by his behavior and it left a bitter taste in our mouths ruining our experience and ruining the atmosphere. We will not be returning. I do hope the staff dont have to put up with this behavior day to day, what a nightmare.

Off the beaten track and in the countryside, beautiful pub with a fantastic back garden that looks out to fields. Plenty of seating inside and out. You can even turn up with your horse as there is 'horse parking' out the front We only had a drink on this occasion but I would love to come back and eat here in the near future!

Tried it again as last time i had a indiffent experience, nice welcome, we sat outside in the large gazebo area, table of 19 next to us.

Went on Sunday walk, stopped at the Blackwood arms for a spot of lunch - which turned into a full lunch and a wonderful time! The place is absolutely delightful, the food truly excellent and the service was extremely friendly and quick. I will be going back without a doubt!

The Service and the atmosphere was a good feeling that you were wanted. The guvnor was exceptional. The prices where a little on the expensive side but my company more than made up for it.

A lovely place close to the woods of Burnham Beeches. You feel as if you're in the depths of the country even though it's close to the M40 and Slough. They have a very pretty beer garden, excellent beer and good food. I dragged myself off my usual of a burger and had a special of crab - excellent. The pub can be very busy at peak times throughout the year, but that's to be expected for such a charming place.

What a great find. Had the chicken, ham and leek pie from the specials board which was delicious and my friend raved about her fish pie. Lovely chef. Thanks guys.

Used to love this place, but over the past year or so, bad management decisions have led to inexorable decline. Example: When I asked why there was no gherkin with my burger, even though the menu clearly stated I should expect one, staff apologetically explained the publican is trying to control costs. More vacations that way. Oh well; we're taking our business elsewhere!

My husband was taken to this pub some time ago and said how good it was, so the opportunity came up to take me. It is a hidden gem; good food, good service and pleasant staff. The garden is delightful and seating good, both inside and out. I hope to be taken here for lunch again!

This is a great pub with great food-just had the seafood grill from the specials menu prepared by Sammy-excellent in terms of quality and price.

I visited pub with friends initially for drinks in the garden and later for dinner. Pub is located inside the woods, the garden has great view to the greens.

The Blackwood Arms is a superb pub with friendly staff and fantastic food. We took our family for the Christmas lunch and was very impressed.

It's a busy traditional pub set in the heart of the Burnham Beeches countryside. Great food, lovely staff - worth booking on a Sunday as it was very busy!!

Came up for the day from London, stumbled across this gem of a pub. Best burger I’ve had in weeks. Highly recommend the burger.

Visited early lunchtime on a weekday and was greeted by a very friendly staff member.The setting was great and I was able to sit in the garden.The menu had a reasonable choice but I was a bit disappointed by the food itself.Although my starter( whitebait) was pretty good, my main course(Cajun chicken with olive salad) was less so as there was not a lot of chicken and the salad had too much oil in the dressing.

After a great afternoon out, we came across this lovely pub by chance, a warm welcome, good selection of ales and a lovely garden. Definitely on radar, and will visit again when in the area.

I love his place! Stunning country pub surrounded by delightful walks. The pie here is fantastic and the beer is well kept. Always a treat to visit here.

We came here for dinner one evening and was warmly welcomed and made to feel at ease with a table at the back. The food was lovely, especially the Bread that came with the soup. The chef coming out to say hi and seeing if we’re okay was a nice touch. Would highly recommend this gem

Amazing and cozy place. Service was incredible, made me feel so well cared for. Food was really well prepared and presented.

Booked following a check on the Tripadvisor reviews, we were not disappointed on our Easter Monday visit on route to London and Burnley’s game at Chelsea.

Great Staff, cozy and friendly and with.a Chef that spends time with diners, thanks Sammy the lamb was fab and a great recommendation,

Lovely family pub. Log wood fire, cosy atmosphere. Good wholesome food, friendly efficient service, house wine one of the best I've had,

Nice looking pub in middle of glorious woods and pub happily accepts walkers with muddy boots. BTW, pub post code on website shows as SL1 8PP. That will not take you to the pub, so use SL1 8PR.

Not been for a while as been busy, but went tonight and was greeted by the ever friendly front of house lady with the biggest greeting as if I was only in the night before! So nice to get the personal welcome when you arrive. White bait for starter was fantastic and plentiful. Chicken burger was so tender and the cheese just made it melt in the mouth and crisp chips.... all washed down with fine drinks.... such a hidden treasure in the middle of Burnham Beeches.... great place to drink and eat and be cherished as a customer... well done you guys!

Really liked this place. Sat at a little table for two by a open fire. Had a lovely fish pie (chose the smaller portion, which was more than enough). Owners/Management came over to chat and made us feel most welcome. Would highly recommend.
