The Bottle and Glass in Aylesbury Vale

Highly recommend this pub/restaurant. 8 of us including a young child were made extremely welcome at a time when there was also a quiz night and the food and service were faultless. Between us we had starters including mushroom with goats cheese, duck spring rolls, calamari - empty plates all round. Then venison burgers, loin of venison, a lovely chicken dish, and choice of pizzas for the child. Everything cooked beautifully. I understand they now have an excellent team in the kitchen and we certainly can vouch for what we had. A great meal, and we are looking forward to returning.

This is the first time I have visited this pub and was absolutely amazed at the quality of the food, the ambience and friendliness of the staff. I will definitely be back.

An excellent lunch today at the Bottle and Glass today for myself and four friends. The food was excellent, well presented and very tasty. The staff were all very welcoming and attentive. It was obvious the new owners have ensured the Bottle and Glass is the place to go for good food and service. Thank you!

We were hoping this was going to be the place to eat weekly with a couple of friends as it was under new ownership. Although the service was excellent I couldn’t believe the price. £35 for a main, a special of surf and turf that consisted of a poor piece of rump and 2 yes 2 prawns. With some chips that was it. £35 at a village pub. If it was a bit of fillet and lobster it would justify the price. I nearly didn’t want to pay. I don’t mind paying for really good food however this was generally weatherspoons quality. Sadly we won’t be returning, head in to Thame all black horse and the thatch justify the prices of their plates. Oh nearly forgot they served us artisan bread that was 3 pieces of artisan bread yes but the rest was hovis sliced white I kid you not. Met a group in the rising sun in haddenham after and they couldn’t believe they were served sliced white bread with their Camembert cheese for £12 and were laughing about it. Again the service from the girls was excellent as felt so bad complaining to her. Pictures of the loo as well which I had to bring to their attention. Probably feeling poorly from the bill.

Awful! We were ordered ‘artisan bread’ (£5) and were served 3 small bits of bread that looked nice and the rest was white sand which bread like hovis! We were absolutely shocked. Had higher hopes for the mains but £35 for ‘surf and turf’ steak and two pawns is shocking, one of the meals did not come with the broccoli advertised and the other two said it came with picketed tomatoes which was absolutely not pickled. Couldn’t fault the waitress, she was lovely but we will not be retuning we feel absolutely ripped off. To top it off the toilets were disgusting.

Popped in for lunch the other day and was very impressed. Food delicious and the waitress first class! Will definitely return!

Dropped in on spec today 29th June the 25th anniversary of our wedding in nearby Haddenham. Enthusiastic, friendly and welcoming new owners. Wanted a fairly light lunch so chose the fish and chips and very glad we did. Perfectly cooked chips and the fish was so fresh with light batter. Then came the sorbets (one mango, one raspberry) - I would walk back to this place (we do not live nearby sadly) for a sorbet by their chef. These are the real thing, packed with the flavour of fresh fruit Great service as well - the guys who run it deserve to do well - we'll be back!

I love this place, it’s my favourite local. The food is fresh and hot and they always seem to use quality ingredients. I had the fish pie last night and my partner had the vegetable lasagne both beautifully cooked and presented. They are COVID conscious with measures in place and staff always give a warm welcome.

Service was super, very friendly hubby and wife team, not a great choice of beers. Food was meh. Overcooked Chicken in breadcrumbs in a dry bun which fell apart. Couple salad leaves, £3 extra for a handful of fries. Positives-the sun was shining and sat outside, lots of wasps though. Other places set wasp repellent traps etc

Last minute Sunday lunch so popped in as passing ,firstly the service was very good from both the bar and the restaurant ,sadly the food was not great. I had the roast beef and my wife the roast turkey ,the meat was ok but the vegetables were very strange,red cabbage completely flavourless roasted carrots cooked within an inch of its life and mushy, roast potatoes looked bought in from a food wholesaler they certainly were not roasted ,and the gravy was like canteen gravy. Real shame as a nice setting but all food under seasoned and overcooked will not be returning.

I’ve been coming here on and off for years, so much so that I was invited to a secret tasting! You know me... I’m a fish buff. Well.... secret fish starter, yes please ! Plaice and prawn, perfectly light battered with sesame, garlic, ginger... I nearly died !!! From tempura in Taiwan, to flying fish in oistins Barbados, I’ve tried them all. This, however, was better! It’s a secret, so you have to say tripadvisor to order it - and apparently you get a free bottle of wine if there’s 4 or more of you. Who needs wine when you have a fabulous starter? Try it. My first 10/10 !!!

Been here twice recently. Once for Sunday lunch with a larger group and once as a couple. The Sunday lunch was a little slow on the service, the food was good but was lukewarm. I think they struggled a bit as it was busy. So, we gave them the benefit of the doubt And returned as a couple for an evening meal. This time the food quality was equally as good but the food was hot and it was an enjoyable evening.

My wife and i visited today (Friday) we had a few drinks in the bar and decided to have dinner in the restaurant. My wife has some special dietary needs, however nothing was too much trouble for the team there. I had the Beef Bourginon and my wife had a plain chicken breast. Suffice to say the food was amazing, just as we had asked for, hot and very, very tasty. Dessert was just as good, Apple crumble and Tiramisu, equally as good as dinner and all served by a lovely waitress. Will certainly be going back :)

Thank you for a fabulous roast last Sunday! It was absolutely delicious. We’re doing a bit of a tour of local restaurants and this was our favourite roast to date - not least because it was served hot! The staff were fabulous too. We will be back!

My wife and I stopped in for a quick lunch on our way back from oxford. The place was fairly quiet and it was sunny so we sat outside. The girl behind the bar was friendly enough but that's as good as it got. Our food took 30 minutes for 2 mains, my burger was over done and dry, the skinny fries had been cooked more than once and were very crispy and dark brown and the homemade coleslaw was bland and tiny. My wife's toasty was melted well but cold. Another couple ordered a few minutes after us and sat close to us outside, their food came straight after ours and their burger and fries looked a lot fresher than mine. Clearly mine had been left in the window and then the fries reheated. I won't be heading back

Went to a meal here a few weeks ago on a saturday night and were impressed so decided to go again for sunday roast sadly we were dissapointed. The menu is a bit limited and the selection of the sunday roasts wete on a blackbord. We decided on the gammon and turkey . I explained i was gluten free and the waitress assured me all the roasts were ok they just took the yorkshire puddings off . I asked her a second time and she assured me this would happen .Our meals came out after about forty minutes which was just about acceptable although the venue didnt seem busy. My dinner still had a yorkshire pudding on it ! I complained immediately . The speed with which the dinner came back meant that they just took the pudding off when in fact they should have given me a completely new dinner to be on the safe side ! Our dinners were both luke warm . Very very sparse on vegtables . We both had small portions of meat. My partner found a length of string in the middle of her meat ! Forty minutes wait for dinner and a small luke warm dinner with a gluten free mess up is not good enough . A lovely pub in a pleasant setting but i shall not be going back !

Now here is the best apple crumble that you will find anywhere around or near Aylesbury. Really good with either custard or ice cream. We love it.

Went in on Saturday, without booking and had a fish pie. Food was lovely and homely. Good ale selection in a friendly pub.

We meet up with friends occasionally for a evening mealThe food has been if a good quality and at a fair price.Staff are always welcoming and polite.Due to go back on the 17th again to take some more friends.It's very accessible and caters for all tastes

We chanced by looking for somewhere that was servicing food, whilst on route to Aylesbury and came upon The Bottle and Glass. What a great find, very friendly atmosphere and great service. Plenty of seating and a good selection of food across the lunchtime and main menu. We ordered a range of dishes from the lunch menu and all were made swiftly and fresh by a very competent chef. Good beer too. Definitely worth a try and would go out of my way to find a chance to go back.

There was 4 of us on this visit and like before it was really good. The place was not packed as it was 4pm. The young lady who served us was good and fun. The food came out in a very timely manor. it was hot and very good. There was no rush to move us on.

Always go here when I come home for a holiday. It has changed, not as upmarket as it use to be. Good or bad, I suppose it’s supply and demand, they know their customers and what they want. There were a lot of men sitting around the bar chatting and that was it. No one in the dining room, I remember when you couldn’t get in if you hadn’t booked. But it was clean and the staff very friendly.

Eaten there a number of times and never disappoints. Great welcome by staff. Nothing too much trouble. Menu is varied and always had great meal

In a secluded position. The cakes were nice but look at my photo of the coffee and soggy biscuit, must be how the locals like it? This is really how the coffee was served (I kid you not!) How did I not say something!

Lovely clean place, friendly staff and felt welcomed the whole visit. The food was very well priced and very tasty. They don’t have an actual child’s menu, but they do children’s portions, and welcome children in. Will definitely be visiting again for food.

We regularly visit the Bottle and Glass. Chris and Elaine are excellent landlords always welcoming and no matter what time of day you need to be fed and watered they will oblige.

Four of us visited the Bottle & Glass last night thanks to a Mix 96 voucher. I have to say it was a very pleasant experience from start to finish.

We are fans of the B&G; because it is a very old pub with a lovely roaring fire, good service and good food. It's hard to say why it's better than most pubs. Maybe because it is old and quaint.

Never eaten here before but had drinks in the garden last summer.

We are on holiday from New Zealand and staying in Stone therefore we have had dinner 3 times at the Bottle and Glass, the atmosphere is relaxed but more than just a pub and the food and staff are excellent, it would be innapropriate not to mention Hayley who serves in the restaurant - she's magic, if your having the mash potato take her advise and have the mash with the spring onions - fantastic!

Stopped of for a quiet drink and had lunch as saw the food being delivered to other customers. The burgers were fresh rather than frozen and were really good. Not the cheapest menu but well worth it for what we had to eat

We visited the B and G on steak night, poor presentation steak was cold but nice chips! Service was confusing staff on another planet, won't be going back... if you want a rubbish way of celebrating your wedding anniversary this is the place

Paramos aquí para una rápida cena temprano y los cuatro de nosotros tenía cosas diferentes. El menú tenía algunas opciones variadas y no tuvimos ningún problema en encontrar algo para cada uno de nosotros.

Nice beer garden, had the burger and a chicken pie and we both really enjoyed our meals. Very reasonable prices. I will be back

We have eaten here a few times as it is near family. The management team are incredibly rude and the Roast vegetables are undercooked and the meat was dry.

Mi marido y yo visitamos con 4 parejas última noche de sábado. La comida era deliciosa, bien presentada y servida en tiempo y forma. Los camareros eran muy atentos y todos se divirtieron. El único inconveniente es la decoración, el edificio ha sido completamente arruinado,...

Una visita algo decepcionante. Reservado para una mesa de 20, así como los comentarios anteriores, mientras que el personal era agradable, el director bastante desagradable. Tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para la comida, y olvidó un pedido para un bebé. La comida estaba bien, aunque...

Met family here for lunch on a Monday to celebrate a birthday. Pub very quiet but service was still slow. Good options available on the menu catering for most tastes. Quality of food ok but I've had better in similar establishments charging similar prices. Server was pleasant but probably could have done with some help dealing with a party of 12. Maybe we caught them on an off day or maybe the adverts in the loos for kitchen staff and waiting staff explained the experience.

We met with friends here on the 28th of January, due to them being busy it was for the first time in six months. As you can imagine we were looking forward to a nice catch up session. However when we arrived there was a very large and very noisy party which in fact ruined our evening. This would not stop us returning to the Bottle and Glass again as it is a nice place to dine, but we would ask to be notified when we booked or when we arrivedThe food here was up to its usual high standard and considering how full it was the service was good.

Good food, great beer and a warm welcome. What more is required from a British pub? Conveniently situated on the road from Thame to Aylesbury with plenty of parking.

The Bottle and Glass is a lovely restaurant cum pub. We regularly come to The Bottle & Glass for date nights as it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff make you feel like friends. We also came here for a large family lunch a few months ago the day after our wedding and they made us feel very special. Would highly recommend!

We normally meet our friends in Thame but decided for a change. The Bottle and Glass is one of the best. It offers good food a lovely fire the staff are excellent helpful and friendly One of the best of all our meals was a starter of smoked salmon with horseradish mayonnaise . this was served on a wooden plater with lemon segments. Certainly recommend . There was no rushing from the staff we had a nice drink in the bar before going into the dinning room . Very modern but not over the top . so very comfortable

I have been in the UK for a temporary work assignment from the US, and I love to eat at the Bottle & Glass! I frequently have dinner there and the choices are delicious, the dining room is very nice and the bar area has fireplace and is very welcoming.

The Bottle and Glass is a lovely restaurant/pub with a great menu. Would recommend for a date or family meals or just for a few drinks this Christmas

We popped in for lunch on 25th October with a group of 6, the customer service from the guy behind the bar was very good he took our food order and kept us up to date with our order, The food was great, I had a burger and the flavour was very good the fries were excellent . Been before but will definitely go again very happy with food and service

We drove past the pub on the way out to a visit and thought it looked nice. When we walked into the pub there was a roaring fire and plenty of different areas to sit in. We liked high tables so settled at one near to the fire. The chap at the bar was friendly and drinks quickly provided. He took our order and very soon it was brought to our table. The food was freshly cooked and my wifes piece of cod was huge. The atmosphere in the pub is warm and friendly. We will eat here again.

Arranged to meet here as the carparking was great and location central to both parties. The Landlady was very helpful in opening up early for us. We had lunch there and it was served quickly and was very tasty and great value for money. The facilities were very clean and the interior had a very homely feel. All the staff seemed happy in there job and as a result gave that extra bit in all that they did. Will defiantly be going back there again.

Booked a table for four and was pleasantly surprised to see a full restaurant as when last visited it was fairly empty. Excellent menu, wine and service and it was good to see Morland Original on the bar instead of the over rated Old Speckled Hen. All four of us (including the vegetarian) were very pleased with a very good lunch.

We had a great meal here last Friday, lots of choice on the menu and all of the food was very tasty, friendly and helpful staff too.

We booked Sunday lunch today. Beef was not ready so opted for lamb. The meal came out hot and quickly, however I left more fat than I managed to eat meat wise and it was completely tastless. There was some weird garlic/fatty tasting square potato concoction which was greasy and nasty tasting - they would have been better off serving a few more veggies as there was a distinct lack of veg. At no point did anyone ask if the meal was okay and to make it worse our change was not offered. It was only £3.00 but very very rude and presumptuous. We were also overcharged for the dessert than advertised. The roast was tasteless, looked bought in, fatty and to be honest a waste of our money. Certainly would have not put a bad review up if given the opportunity of telling them to their faces, but as we were at no point asked even though the waitress could see how much fat was left on the plates I've put it on here. I certainly would not eat a roast here again or recommend it. What a shame.

We visited on a Tuesday evening. The menu was varied and interesting. There was something for 4 people with very different tastes. The service was friendly and professional and the staff were very kind and helpful to an elderly couple who, I think were regulars. The pub has lots of character and plenty of parking but be carful when leaving as the road can be quite busy.

We live in walking distance of the Bottle and last year improvement in food quality was noted. Visit with friends today was a reversion to the former mediocrity of this establishment. Two filet steaks were ordered and one was inedible - meat you chew but does not digest! The other was edible but in no way could be described as filet steak. Such a shame that we cannot walk down the road and get a decent meal. Response of staff to complaint was reasonable with modest recompense but the prices here are not cheap and to serve meat of this quality is not just acceptable.

We stopped off here after being out shopping - my husband's choice - I had not been since it had been renovated! It was lovely - wonderful food and very helpful staff. Will definitely be going again!

I've been to the bottle and glass, lots of times and every time it's been great there.The food is fresh and tasty.I'm telling you, Go there for a meal at some pint

OK so I almost live next door to the Bottle and Glass and both I and the family go there at least once a month.The staff are great and the food is great. Its not cheap but you more than get what you pay for.

Have visited the Bottle and Glass many times as live local always a very warm welcome, weather its just a drink or a meal, must add Sunday roasts great value and very pleasent

We visited here on my birthday, 8th March for lunch. I was with my sister and our 83 year old mother. As we walked in, it felt cold. There were a few people sitting by the fire. We walked into the restaurant and chose a table near a radiator. It was cold. I asked the waiter if we could turn it on (specifically for my mother, but to be honest, it was too cold for me too!). We were told that we couldn't have it on as it was on a thermostat. (set at 20 degrees). I do not believe it was 20 degrees in there at that time, it felt more like 15. It was approximately 5 degrees outside. I'm afraid we had to leave. I was not prepared to eat my birthday lunch in my coat, nor have my mother shivering throughout.

Service was disjointed & slow, had to wait quite a while for a table.. (not always a bad sign, I admit) Food was simple, like a franchise pub the menu is huge, so I suspect most of it comes from a packet in the freezer. I expected more as the pub look's really nice from the outside. Wouldn't visit again.

A lovely place, excellent staff, but sadly the worst nut roast I have ever had! Vegetables and pudding were nice, staff were lovely.

Turned up on speck and I have intolerances to grain and dairy they went out of their way to cook me meal - well done

Recently visited the Bottle and glass for a friend's birthday dinner and a Christmas get together. Although I have lived 5 miles from it for about 20 yrs and driven past hundreds of times, I have never visited and now I wish I had!What a lovely relaxed place; beautifully decorated,pleasant helpful staff; and amazing food. I went for a special of Beef Wellington, and am now working out when I can go back for seconds! It was soo good! Do I recommend...hell YES!!!

Visited this restaurant to celebrate a birthday and the staff made it a really special occassion. We received a warm welcome and the menu is refreshingly different from the usual fare. I had mushroom & leek lasagne and it was really tasty; everyone on our table was really happy with their food too. The Bar area has a log fire and the restaurant has a lovely cosy feel. I will definitely return to this great restaurant.

We had been to the Bottle & Glass on several occasions when visiting relatives and had always really enjoyed the food and standard of service plus a pleasant atmosphere. We were over in Aylesbury recently and went in for lunch and again had a really good meal. My husband mentioned booking for Sunday lunch I said that I am vegetarian and would there be something suitable straight away the staff said the Chef would do a nut roast. The subsequent meal was delicious. It was so good to be treated like the other diners and not as an awkward customer. So top marks to the management and staff.

Don't expect to find pub fare here. Arrived at just before 7 and we were the only people there. The prices are quite expensive. We asked for glasses of rose wine but were served white instead. The food was excellent and different from the usual hostelry we go to locally so it did make a change and would go back. As someone else has mentioned there were flies buzzing around.

Went for a family meal (25 strong) the food was okay; you get plenty of flies with your meal which is a bonus.... The waitresses were very pleasant. However, after finishing our meal and spending over £1000 in total we were asked to move up the bar so they could tidy the area. We went on to order some drinks to be told by the owners that they had stopped serving?! No shout for last orders or anything, basically they took our money and wanted shot of us. The owner said his license didn't allow him to serve us, but despite him saying this there was three "locals" who had a tab open and they were still getting served. Do not go here, customer service is absolutely foul and they do not care about you, all they want is your money. Spent easily 1000 extra on top of the food bill on drinks and this is how they treated us. DISGUSTING. Will never ever return here.

As a FORMER regular of this place I was somewhat concerned about the food quality served to us. I made it known to the staff that it was not to the normally high standard and was just given a shrug of the shoulders and a 'sorry'. There was no attempt to rectify the situation or any offer of compensation.To cap it off, we were constantly having to flick the flies from our food. We have never had these issues in the past and so was surprised when I mentioned this to the staff, to be told there is nothing that can be done as there is a cow farm on one side of the road and a chicken farm directly behind the pub...I guess the flies have only recently decided to try the pub!!!!I have spent a lot of money here in the past and am now looking for a new venue.Shame.

Went out for meal for two. We knew it would be more expensive than your average place but had heard some good stuff so gave it a try. Food is above your average but very expensive (nine quid for cheese and biscuits?). Beer was Churchill IPA and Ruddles County both which tasted watered down and about 3 weeks old. The meal was OK but not worth sixty one quid, but at least the flies buzzing around the table (of which there were plenty) came for free. Overpriced and overrated. Still, if you live in the neighbouring villages Gibraltar or Dinton the price is probably the least of your worries. Oh, and on settling the bill I entered the wrong number on my card. The waitress laughed and said maybe the beers gone to your head. Impossible, I replied, to get drunk on that watered down pish.

Both visits the service and food have been excellent. As regular customers of another nearby restaurant we thought we'd have a change of venue.Service, food and vanue lovely. Better class of clientel here also.Slightly more expensive than their competition, but worth it!Food well cooked, well presented and well served. We'll be back!If you're looking for a cheap burger and fries, don't expect this here - the food quality is much higher. It's not for the kids, but for someone who expects something better. We loved it and will return. **Recommended**

Had sunday lunch here today which was very nice with my parents staff were ok pleasant enough we asked for the bill and then the waitress took the money and shocked us all by asking if we wanted the change im afraid this was very unprofessional in which case she lost out on tip which we would have left

Drove past this pub/restaurant travelling from Haddenham to Aylesbury, got a lovely table by the window, I had on omelette and my colleague had the cheese and potato pie.... we were both impressed with our meals and also indulged in a dessert, the banana and walnut bread and butter pudding was gorgeous!Service was courteous and prompt without being intrusive

2 separate large groups having birthday parties. The food was prompt, hot and delicious. A First class service, very very well done.

2 of us booked a table and visited on a Thursday night. The place was very empty and cold. We decided to sit by the fire and noticed people still had coats on!! Staff were unwelcoming and didn't seem to make an effort. They only spoke to us when we were ordering and they were clearing plates. My glass was empty and they just took it without asking if I needed another drink - missed out on up selling there!Meals were average, but not good enough for the price we paid.Overall a disappointment and I won't be rushing back!

Have been here a few times over the last few years. This time we went with work for our cHrstmas part and I have to say it was really good. Food nice service good and a lot going on with made it a good evening.

The desert was tasty and the pub itself has a nice atmosphere to it however there were a lot of downsides too. I went here for my birthday meal with family and friends, I had the pork belly and fillet. The fillet was acceptable but the belly had been overcooked and the vegetables were rather sub-par (carrots were a bit cardboardy). A couple of my friends said the pie was nice though. Service was SLOW! From ordering to plates on the table took 1.5 hours which was just ridiculous. Also when we were ordering they had limited food left available. They had no chicken or Lamb and had just run out of burgers. Which limited the main choices by at least a third. Lastly we were charged 10% service, to which my father pointed out we had been waiting for hours and the waiters response was "oh well I'm sorry about that". Rather disappointed, there was a lot of potential for this to be a great meal but unfortunately it was lacking in too many areas. I am sure if you came as a couple then the experience might have been significantly better but they clearly couldn't handle a group both on the service and the food quality front.

Never been before, and thought it was lovely. Great atmosphere, staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was gorgeous and would definitely go back with friends and family.

Nice food tonight at this restaurant. Have visited before and enjoyed it. Good quality and price, only complaint was the Garlic Bread which was tough.

We went for a lunch, we were able to pre-order which meant our food was ready for us on arrival. I had a chicken, leek and ham pie, it was hot and contained plenty of filling. There was a good pile of chips and some crispy veg which produced a good meal. There were very few people in the pub.

The food and service is very average considering that they have a very limited menu nothing to right home about

We drive past every 3 weeks and always say we should call in. So now we have, and what a great surprise, excellent food, some very unusual flavours, good service. Beer too, if you want it - there's a proper pub bit.

Came here with my parents as they were visiting me in the area. Food was great, however service was a little slow (I'm sure it's just because there was a large table in before us).Only negative point was it can get loud very easily in the restaurant area. I will be coming back!

We've just had an excellent meal and I'm more than happy to have booked for my Father's birthday meal in September.

We were taken t the Bottle and Glass as a birthday treat for my husband.We had the turkey Sunday roast, It was dreadful I'm sure a frozen platter has more taste! I had the summer pudding which still had white bread showing.I have been to the bottle on numerous occasions so just hope this is only a blip.

On arrival greatest well at the bar, served with drinks and offered our tableWe decided only to have a main course, however seeing cheesie garlic bread as a side order to the mains, I asked if we could have that as a starter to shareWe were told we could After an average waiting time ours mains showed up, I asked the waiter what happened to our starter, he said its been put through as a main side orderHe didn't show any emotions When I explained it was asked for and okayd as a starter But service was good food very goodWill go back again

We enjoyed a great meal for 5 people here at the Bottle and Glass, we have driven past it so many times. The staff were friendly and the service was good, the food was excellent, certainly the best sirloin I have had in a while!! I will certainly return!

My sister and I stopped on our way to stay at a spa nearby and were very pleased to find such an individual, well presented pub. Good feeling as we walked in as felt clean and tidy. Service was efficient (they were not busy) and friendly and although we only had starters they were excellent, I had the fish bake. Fresh flowers in the clean loos left a good impression.

It was a pleasant evening overall but some greater attention to details would have pushed this to a 4 rating . The welcome at the bar was good . There were some interesting specials .. I had the mixed fish and seafood pie which was good but could have been better if with a crispy finish and perhaps with the addition of herbs and/or light spices . I was surprised that in ordering a full meal we still had to pay for olives with drinks and that with coffees at the end there were no chocolates to go with it .. at the prices paid this would have been appropriate . 3 of us had the Manchego starter .. it was pleasant enough but the cheese was wafer thin and at £6.95 I would have expected more .

This is a lovely little pub which my partner and I have visited on several occasions. They do wonderful home cooked food, and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask for?

One of the worst burgers I have eaten at any price, let alone £11.95. Partner's pasta dish was "bland".

After a number of visits over the years to The Bottle and Glass I felt compelled to write a quick review to cover all of my visits. We do dine here every few months and have yet to have a bad meal. Often we drop in for lunch and are always welcomed no matter what time and without a booking. One of our lunch time favourites is the sharer platter which has one of the most flavoursome Butternut Squash soups we have had. We have had dinner in the evening on a number of occasions and the food and service has been of a great standard then also. On one occasion I had the vegetable and halloumi pie but on opening the pie there was no halloumi. The waiting staff returned shortly after serving to check everything was ok and on advising them of this I was offered a replacement dish or for the missing halloumi to be brought out as soon as possible. I felt this was great service and the service recovery really outshone the error in the dish, this is definitely what good service is all about. We left that night talking about how good they are for service as much as we enjoyed the food. Overall we would rather get in the car and drive or get a taxi to The Bottle and Glass for their good food and hospitality than stay a little bit closer to home and wonder if it is going to be a good meal.Will definitely return time and time again.

The food was piping hot, the staff were pleasant and the restaurant was warm. The waitress thanked us for the tip, which was really lovely, as often tips are just taken for granted.

So we had our table booked (on a Sunday) at 2pm. We arrived for 2 and had to wait 15 minutes, as the table wasn't ready. The food, which we were told would take no more than 20 minutes to arrive, took at least 35. It quickly came apparent that we were the last in the restaurant to be served and as such, the portion sizes, quality and consistency of meals were telling. The food arrived practically cold. We ordered 5 roast dinners and 1 child's roast, however the child's meal was larger than the adults'. It was hit and miss as to who would get what veg and how much. It looked as though the food was running out and the chef was struggling to share it around the final 5. The meat I had (Turkey) was massively over cooked and didn't taste great. None of it all tasted that great. Maybe if it had been warmer, would we have enjoyed it more. We complained to the waitress who notified the chef that we weren't happy. We then had our drinks removed from the bill and a further 20% deducted. The staff were very apologetic and helpful. This was the only saving grace.Having visited the pub on a Sunday a year ago, the food was lovely, however the pub only half packed compared to today.I wouldn't recommend, as you don't know if you'll catch the chef on a good or bad day.

It used to be wonderful and my mouth was watering before I got there. Over the past few months it has increasingly gone downhill with regard to food. My last visit very recently, I ordered Lamb Shank at £18 top meal. We waited a long time and, when it came it had to be returned as I could not even get my knife!! When I went to the bar to seek out the waitress another couple were complaining bitterly.about their meal too. When the waitress came I demonstrated the toughness and she took it away. She suggested I had something else but this is not the first occasion this had happened, so I declined and refused to have this itemized on the bill.which they accepted. I was embarrassed as my friend was treating me.They used to be so good and I am saddened that I have had to write this.I have worked in the industry and, I would suggest they look closely at what is going wrong within this once delightful eating place and bring it back up to the standard it once had.If the food is good, there pricing is spot on if not.......

After planning a romantic day with my husband we chose to eat out somewhere a bit special in the evening. Having researched some restaurants online in or near Aylesbury we decided on The Bottle and Glass as the menu looked appealing so booked a table a week in advance.When we arrived we were greeted immediately & seated to our table for two. Before we had settled & taken our coats off we were asked what we wanted to drink which threw me a bit as I hadn't even had a chance to look at the wine list.Our food order was taken quite promptly & our starters & mains arrived very quickly which we both really enjoyed. My husband particularly loved the duck salad to start & my confit of duck which I had for my main was delicious so absolutely no complaints with the food.Our plates were cleared away very quickly and then sadly we were ignored for over 30 minutes. My husband was really looking forward to having the baked cheesecake for dessert but after sitting waiting for a waitress & feeling unable to attract anyones attention to come over we decided not to spend anymore money on food there so got up & approached a guy who was preparing another bill. He appeared shocked when I asked if we could pay him and he did ask if everything was ok, I replied that the food was great but decided not to mention the service at the end which did put a slight dampener on our evening. It started off so well but sadly when the restaurant was full they obviously didn't have enough staff to attend to all tables.Food great but they need to sort their service out during busy periods and there was a particular waitress that kept fiddling with her hair, we watched her & she did it whilst taking orders too, this is a big no no when you are working in Hospitality & Catering!

2 Adults and a ChildI called ahead to see if they could seat us, which the lady said was no problem.Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and told we could sit anywhere we liked and someone would be over shortly, which a waiter wes.We ordered the following:Starter:Mixed starter platter for 2, Pate, Soup, Smokie, Crab Cake and Grilled Goats Cheese with ½ a loaf of bread and dips £12.95 This was really nice and a good starter.Main:Tiger Prawns and Spaghetti in a creamy fresh red chilli tomato and basil sauce with sundried tomato and artichoke heart £13.95Cheese and Mushroom OmeletteThese were nice and arrived hot to the table.Dessert:Sticky Toffee Pudding with cream or ice-cream £6.25Children’s Menu: Garlic bread, Pasta with tomato and basil sauce and Ice-creamThe child’s Garlic Bread was rock hard and uneatable I even tried to bite it and had no luck, I made the waiter aware of this and this was replaced.All in all the food was nice but nothing really special and even when we had arrived which was around pm the 2 of the 3 daily specials were no longer available, they used to do a mixed grill which they no longer do which was a shame.I won’t be hurrying back and have deleted the number from my phone as all in all I think its got worse, in my time there there I over heard two tables complain about there main meal.

A group from work attended for our Christmas party. The staff were attentive and helpful. My choice of starter - fish smokies - was very tasty and enjoyable. Unfortunately after that the food took a dive. I had steak which appeared to be poor quality meat that had been put through some kind of mangle to tenderise it. Certainly it was tasteless. The brussel sprouts were overcooked, and other vegetables indifferent. The cheese cake was very average, and appeared to be mass produced and out of a box rather than locally made. Some of the wines we ordered were not available, the ones we had were okay but quite pricey for what they were - as usual in English pubs and restaurants.

We were a party of 3 for a Sunday lunch. We were asked for our drinks order before we had an opportunity yo take our coats off and sit down, never mind look at the drinks menu. They brought the wrong main courses out and my plate had 2 Brussels sprouts as one of the main vege's. Plates were removed and we were immediately offered the sweet menu and coffee course at the same time. We asked for a break and we were given 3 minutes. When we ordered sweet, the wrong orders were again brought to the table. One of the jugs of custard had a "spoonful" inside so we had to order more. All in all, what was to be a special meal turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. Even though we had booked a table, we felt very rushed as though they wanted us out ASAP.

Went with a large party for a Sunday roast. Food wise the meal did exactly what it said on the tin. A decent quality roast dinner, all the trimmings and a fair size portion to boot. One of the party chose the fish from the specials board and again that was spot on.Where the Bottle and Glass win an extra point from me is their accommodation of guests with special requirements. Our party of ten included one young adult with special needs and a person in a wheelchair. The building had excellent disabled parking and the restaurant had provided us a location where the wheelchair would not be in the way (making the occupant more relaxed about his meal experience which is important). Additionally the staff were great with the special needs young adult. Very engaging, very friendly.I am sure there are better meals in the area but what I have eaten better in establishments with poor hosting and enjoyed the whole experience a lot less. I have read some of the criticisms in other reviews and can honestly say that we did not encounter anything like that.We will return.

My husband and family went for a meal on Sunday, when we ordered we were told that they had run out of roast diners, which was not said to us at time of booking. When my husbands meal arrived it had roast potatoes with it and not the dauphinois potatoes as stated on the menu, when we asked about it they said they had run out and had we not been told ! Some people came in after us that seemed to be regulars and they managed to get a roast which was not very good to see. It was very disappointing as it is not cheap to dine here and we choose it expecting a nice meal. The staff were nice but wearing trainers is not what you expect in this kind of restaurant.

I took my elderly mother to this restaurant for lunch today at 1pm. Although some aspects of the experience were good, there were a number of things we were not at all happy about. We had a long wait for both the main course and the dessert. For the main course, my mother had duck breast and I had the pork fillet. My mother's duck was extremely tough. I mentioned this to a waiter and asked for a steak knife, which he brought. This enabled my mother to cut it but she could not chew it. I tried it and found it extremely tough and almost unchewable. When a different waiter collected our plates, I again commented that my mother's duck was extremely tough and she could not eat it. He said he would say something to the chef. I don't know whether or not he did but he did not come back to us about it and no compensation or alternative was offered.My pork was satisfactory but I was very surprised that both main courses were served with the vegetables and mine was smothered in sauce/gravy. I would expect a good restaurant to serve the vegetables separately so that one can help oneself.We each had a small glass of Pinot Grigio, which was good but overpriced.On the plus side, the puddings were good. I had cheese and biscuits and my mother had the sticky toffee pudding.However, all in all, our lunch experience was not a good one and was certainly not good value for £57.

we arrived and chose a table, after ten minutes i decided to go to the bar to order drinks and collect a menu. the one waitress was obviously struggling to serve the several tables in the restaurant.she did come to take our order. i asked if they could remove the bones from the fish and was told yes. ordered baked plaice and pasta. the fish was bland and still full of bones and the pasta dish was ok, but certainly nothing special for the £14 it cost.i don't mind paying for good food but only when its worth the price charged. can't understand how it was so busy. ill stick to the bugle horn, woolpack or make the drive to the cook and fillet in future as so worth it.
