The Chandos Arms in Aylesbury Vale

Looked a bit grubby and clapped out inside, more like a community centre type of vibe than a relaxing pub. Staff seemed to act like they’d never had a customer before. Seems to be popular among the oldies, if you don’t mind watching granny dribbling while you eat.

I can’t comment on food or drink. We didn’t get that far, however, the customer service and accessibility was horrific, degrading and rude. The accessible door was blocked off by a table, they had to move this out the way, with all of the customers watching. Baring in mind we told them when booking that required accessibility. We went with my in-laws who required wheelchair access. The blonde woman didn’t apologise at all, she stood right in the way and didn’t even attempt to acknowledge us, she told us about the toilets “they aren’t very disabled friendly you might need to go in with someone” not apology involved. There was no reason so be so rude. She also stated to her colleague under her breath that this wasn’t disclosed in the booking, which it was. When we left, she closed the door and was unnecessarily rude and dismissive. No type of communication was attempted from either member of staff that attempted to talk to us. No one said goodbye, no one apologised. Don’t bother going here if you need accessible features.

Booked a table here for a 70th Birthday meal. Being on Mother’s Day weekend, my hopes were pretty low to find somewhere to accommodate a party of 14 but I called The Chandos Arms after seeing some good reviews and they were more than happy to accommodate us. I had excellent communication from start to finish with Charlotte and she helped me organise such a memorable afternoon for a special man. Nothing was too much trouble. We had our own private area which was just perfect - cosy (radiators turned on especially for us) and away from the main pub so we didn’t have to worry about being too loud and allowing the kids to be kids. The food was excellent with the usual pub favourites and we felt really well cared for. Thank you so much! We will definitely be returning to make the most of your outside space in the summer! X

Friends and I had a very nice Sunday roast today, service friendly and efficient, but, my only complaint is that the disabled access round the back where there no steps is a bit like an assault course with wooden pallets and other stuff in the way and the path is very mossy and slippery.

I went on a Thursday evening and place was virtually empty apart from some really loud young people at bar. I ordered the fish and chips, which was okay, didn't really have any flavour to it. Pint of lager was over £5.

We are currently in the midst of Pandemic with so many businesses struggling and others rolling over and giving up, but Stuart and Holly grabbed the reins with both hands . The food is always amazing and they haven't dropped their standards. The food is...

Just had our Sunday roast delivered by the Chandos. I had turkey my husband had the beef but naturally we shared a bit of both as there was so much! Can not fault the dinner at all, very generous sized portions and very fresh considering...

Had a wonderful meal delivered for a birthday meal in isolation !! Rang yesterday and so helpful , nothing was too much trouble and meal Was delivered exactly on time , hot and delicious , can’t fault anything , also they sent a bottle of...

Fantastic pizzas during lockdown. We ordered by phone and picked up ourselves. Social distancing observed and pizzas ready for collection. All four pizzas were fantastically fresh and we’ll definitely be using them again.

Nice food and reasonably priced, but limited menu and dining room felt cramped given the size of the pub overall.

Well what do I say a carvery that is not a carvery,got there on time told we had to wait for the food to be replenished which took nearly 25 mins. We were then took to the area where the veg was located should of...

Great place, been here a few times now and never had a bad meal. Also been here for a works Christmas Do, again can’t fault them. Food was lovely and they catered for large numbers. All polite and friendly staff with a warm welcome. Highly...

I need say no more really. If you like pizzas this is the place for you. The general food menu is a bit limited, although all freshly cooked and good. But you'll have to go a long way to find better pizzas, they're big enough...

I hadn’t been here since the summer, it was cosy and warm inside with a big fire roaring away. We had only booked an hour prior to arriving. One area was packed with a private function and we ate in the main dining area where...

Lunchtime meal with family. Mrs B plus the senior Mrs B(Mum) plus Mrs N(Sister) all enjoyed the 2 course seniors menu I took one look at the Pizza menu to decide on a pizza, but instead of liking 2 or 3 choices from 20, I...

We have been searching for a decent carvery for a while and I think we have just found it. The carvery here is superb and huge portions. I managed to squeeze in a pudding and I am so glad I did. The homemade cheesecake was...

Been cycling for a while and I came along Marrow Way to The Chandos. I went in to warm welcome, nice selection of draught beers and ordered an Estrella.....beautifully served which I drank quietly in their lovely garden.

Today we celebrated here with family after our twin daughters christening. Most of us had the carvery. From the very first point of contact to shovelling the food down our throats everything was pretty much perfect. Slight confusion when finalising numbers which Stewart sorted out...

Definitely worth going if you like a Sunday roast. You get a choice of three meats served with various vegetable dishes, everything was cooked very well. You can choose from 1, 2 or 3 courses. Waiting staff all very attentive and kept checking that we...

Recently visited with friends for lunch Beautiful day so drinks in the garden followed by lunch inside, excellent food and value. Coffee outside again served by the staff. Great service and value

Wonderful friendly chatty staff, cosy warm atmosphere. Good choice of drinks and great food at good prices very Clean and tidy.

Fantastic pub/restaurant with very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was lovely. We will be definatly be coming back again. Thank you 😋

Short notice booking for 3 generations of the family - couldn’t be happier! Grandparents had fish and chips and the chicken curry - both were superb. Pizza and lasagne for the kids, again both faultless. Mum and Dad steaks. When they came out I thought...

We've visited The Chandos a number of times and always have a fantastic time. Yet again on Saturday night as a party of 14 we had great service and yummy food. Thanks again to Stuart and his team for a superb night.

This was our second visit after coming for the first time earlier in the summer. They have an extensive pizza menu, I ordered one of these which was great and the others had some traditional pub food which the rest of the menu consists of....

This was the first time me and my other half have tried the Chandos Arms and we wasn't disappointed. As soon as we arrived we were greeted from who I think was the owner, who showed us to our seat. We ordered our drinks and...

We often pop in to the Chandos, often for just a drink and in the summer we sit in the lovely comfy beer garden. The menu is quite diverse and you can eat just a snack or full meal. Went this weekend and for the...

We recently moved to Aston Clinton, previously living in 4 of the surrounding towns/villages and often eating out at different pubs/restaurants. I read some of the reviews on this place and went to have a look inside and out. After I did this I decided...

This happens to be my friends local and I’ve not been here in years. It has improved so much. The garden area is lovely with plenty of seating and lots of shaded tables if needed. Also I noticed a play area for young children. It...

The wife and l we’re visiting friends in Aylesbury and wanted a drink on a Saturday afternoon and chose the Chandos Arms. The bar staff were very welcoming and friendly. There was a good selection of beers and lagers etc. We’d already eaten so didn’t...

Went for a lovely Sunday lunch with friends from the village. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and excellent food .The lunch was served from a carvery and there was plenty of choice. We ate inside but there is also a lovely outside garden with plenty of tables....

Enjoyed a lovely summer lunch last Thursday with four cousins. All but one of us chose from the Senior menu and found portions were very generous - as was the meal from the main menu.

Lovely village pub. Great atmosphere. Loved the pizza! Everyone I was with enjoyed their food. Would highly recommend if In the area!

We have visited today with family and friends and loved our visit. Holly & Stewie are so accommodating and kind, food is delicious and the environment is beautiful. Definitely recommend!

My visit here reminded me of how pubs used to be when they were the center of the village. Prompt informed service, the food was hot and well presented.

We visited the Chandos for the first time today and were not disappointed. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. The roast was excellent, loads of it and of very good quality. Stewart and his staff are to be congratulated and I think the previous...

This was a return visit and we will be back again soon. This has to best carvery for miles and what value, service is second to none both landlord and landlady one on bar and one in kitchen make sure both food and service are...

All the adults had the carvery - so much meat most of us couldn’t finish it! The veg was great too along with as many roasties as you could eat! Brilliant. Staff were really helpful and served us quickly (great as we had kids with...

Friendly local pub, friendly staff. Food was decent enough for pub grub and the puds were worth having as a second course. No complaints and wasn't disappointed but wasnt enthralled either.

Went there for a celebration meal, party of 8. Pre-ordered our meals, per their request. Our food was terrible, at best. Steaks were cold and pale, as if they'd been microwave cooked then set in a warmer. Burgers buns were stale and soggy at the...

We got our food and two out of 8 of us had the steak and it came out cold so we told them so they took it back to the kitchen and reheated it but when it came back it still wasn’t very hot! We...

We popped by the Chandos Arms after a dog walk at the reservoir, we had searched for a good dog friendly pub in the area in advance on trip advisor, we were certainly not disappointed. It was a lovely sunny day so we grabbed one...

We visited today for a Sunday lunch. We all chose the carvery. I must admit I’m quite often disappointed when I eat out because my wife is quite an accomplished chef. However today’s Sunday lunch was of such high quality I was stunned. A friend...

There was a varied menu and very reasonably priced. The portion size was good and the food was well cooked and nicely presented. It has a good atmosphere and very helpful staff. Worth a visit

The family had an enjoyable Sunday carvery lunch at the Chandos. There was a choice of three roast meats and plenty of potatoes and vegetables, all well cooked and piping hot which is often unusual for a carvery. You can either have two or three...

Had a really great time, the atmosphere was warm and friendly, always difficult to celebrate my daughters 8th birthday that falls on every valentines evening, the menu was small but a good variety. The food was fantastic, the steak was one of the best I...

My family and I had the 2 course Sunday roast carvery and it did not disappoint; the portions of meat given were very generous and all the accompiments tasted great! I am currently having to avoid many foods but Holly was so accommodating, making sure...

Visited for a family re-union Sunday carvery lunch. Nice cosy place, welcome dogs. Staff very friendly and helpful. Starters very good, main carvery had good choice of veg and 3 meats. Generous portions, only trouble was the meat was very dry (I had pork) and...

Went for lunch with friends. Seniors menu was just right in quantity especially if you want 2 or more courses. Choices on Seniors and main menu good. Food and service was excellent. Just one little thing to mention as we know Holly and Stewart like...

This has to be the best Sunday carvery we have ever been to. We were seated and orders taken then asked to go to the carvery to be served one table at a time worked so well and one of the owners was serving, the...

Broke up our journey from the supermarket & home with a quick pit stop here at the Chandos. We were a bit cheeky & just ordered some Sticky Toffee Pudding but from what I saw of the carvery it looked very impressive & being a...

While staying along the road, I popped in for a lunchtime drink & liked what saw so much that me & Mrs B returned that evening for a meal The place is well set out with a lovely pub type bar in the middle of...

Always to go in this place in my three years in the area, fate dealt me the hand that had to drop in for a quick beer. Not disappointed, lovely pub, friendly folk, helpful bar staff and great beer selection. I proper pub, and so...

After a walk up Coombe Hill took my mum and a friend for lunch as I know it has good food and service.

Went to the carvery with family on a sunday lunchtime, food was lovely and the service was very good.

Booked for dinner on a Monday night based on TripAdvisor reviews. Very disappointing - a chilly night but although there was a nice fireplace the fire wasn’t alight. Similarly the heating in the dining room wasn’t on - although our waiter turned it on when...

Pleasantly surprised with the ambiance and welcoming feel, with the outside garden seating area and the decor inside. Roast dinner is worth the money, buffet/carvery style, no doubt we’ll return when we don’t fancy cooking a roast at home...

Not as overwhelming as some of the previous reviews make out, but decent tasty pub grub. Service good, nice ambience. A pleasant evening, but nothing to get too excited about .

We booked for 10 for lunch last Sunday and it was wonderful as we knew it would be as we had been before! Holly is a masterchef and beautiful as well. There is a young lad who looks 15 but is 25, so I was...

We popped in on a Saturday afternoon for drink mid way through our dog walk and sat in the lovely garden, we had a starter as a snack and were so impressed we booked for today’s carvery - lovely fresh home cooked food, some great...

Despite being quite local we made our first visit in August and went back this week because the Sunday roast blew us away. It’s divine! Also with young children and some disabled family members in the party it was made easy and relaxed for us...

A very warm welcome in a lovely country setting, great outdoor seating area , a varied selection of wines and beers. Holly's Sunday Carvery is cooked to perfection, constantly freshly replenished and great value for money, can highly reccomend .

Lovely friendly village pub Stewart and Holly have created a comfortable atmosphere for all. We love Friday fish and chips cooked by Holly 🍽

Helpful Staff and lovely friendly place. James was very helpful, my sister was with me and is disabled so he unlocked the door at the side of the pub so she didn't need to negotiate the steps at the front of the pub.

Called in at the Chandos today to have their carvery menu. Really good food and staff were very welcoming. Only complaint was that there was too much food!

Called in with 5 friends from work. We had a great evening. Quiet a small menu, but the food was simply superb. The staff really looked after us and everything was reasonably priced. I can recommend the Halloumi fries!

Great little find out in Weston Turville village Great scenery Lovely garden play music in background 70’s 80’s classics Offer local cooked meat fresh Yorkshire large size Moist stuffing I use Toby a lot and the standards here are so much better So hard to...

We visited with our children & friends with child - food and service was great!! Fish Friday was fantastic - fish and chips and fish pie!! Delicious. Thanks Stewie and team

Spent a pleasant evening at this establishment. Food great host attentive but not ott! Good service. Excellent value for money. Only downside - children of none diners playing hide and seek around those dining However would still recommend for a good meal.

Having recently just moved to the area of Weston Turville, we decided to give the local pub a try. The staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful and the food was amazing. We had the fish and chips, scampi and chips and the Burger and...

Great evening with our son and friends for the start of his 'Stag' weekend. Delicious food and lovely, warm, friendly atmosphere. Thank you!

My partner and I pass the pub occasionally we kept saying must visit for a meal so glad we did wow fantastic food, very clean staff very attentive excellent service well done to all the staff will definitely be regulars from now on

Popped in the way home after meeting family. Just had drinks but it was clean, friendly and welcoming. Lovely outside seating area with sofas, tables and benches. Parking was a bit of a nightmare as car park is small and was full of vans but...

We never realised how hard it could be to find a pub open on a Monday lunchtime, but what a find the Chandos Arms is. We received a warm welcome and the impression that nothing would be too much trouble. We each had a baguette...

Here for a friend's wedding reception great atmosphere and friendly staff, well presented with tasty food and good surroundings.

Visiting relatives over Weekend and decided to have Easter lunch there. A great meal and friendly service with plenty to eat and drink, try it.

As we ordered desert my eldest, asked for gluten free brownie. Yes I am gluten Intolerant, but I tend not to worry about it in general However it was the slightly worried waitress asking about the fact we had not ordered gluten free main... Awesome...

Went with a group of former colleagues and had a buffet lunch. While the service was friendly the food was most disappointing and in my opinion overpriced: various sandwiches with quite nice fillings but made with horrible soft tasteless bread:why not granary or sourdough? In...

I was recommended to The Chandos Arms by a friend and it certainly lived up to her reviews. Three generations of us went and the food and young owners looked after extremely well.

Decided to listen to a recommendation and persuaded a big group of friends to come along. I never order roast in a pub but o have to say this was delicious; potatoes to die for and excellent vegetables ! Very welcoming hosts and a perfect...

I recently went with my extended family for a Sunday roast at the Chandos Arms & have to say that it was a great experience. The Sunday roast itself was excellent & well cooked. As a carvery it meant that we could choose exactly which...

11 of us visited for a Sunday roast. Absolutely fist class food all home cooked with farm meat and fresh veg - generous portions at a great price. Meats and veg cooked to perfection. Young couple who run it are skilled and so friendly. Holly,...

Looking at the reviews which were excellent decided on a meal at this pub. There was nobody in the restaurant part only people drinking at the bar. This should have been a clue. I could not find one item on the mains menu which was...

Our first visit when under new management. Stu, Holly a nd their team welcomed us warmly. We hadn't booked, but they fitted us in for Sunday Lunch. Very generous portions of superb food. It was quite busy, but service didn't suffer for it. We will...

Wow it's Friday , so I order the traditional Friday fair ...fish chips and mushy peas. Such a change be served a large portion of fish surrounded with a light tasty batter. 100% improvement on the previous Landlords offerings. Keep up the good work will...

The Chandos is run by Holly and Stuart who took over as tenants in Sept / Oct 2017. They both had previously worked here as staff. This was our third visit to "Holly's Sunday Carvery" since they took charge. You can tell from this that...

The monthly senior citizens' lunch has improved infinitely under the new management. Whereas previously the service had been appalling and the food often dire, with regular long waits to be told eventually that meals ordered days ahead were now not available, the last few months...

Just want to thank the owners for such a great welcome for lunch today, such warm and honest hospitality like you showed is getting harder to find these days! By the way we had the BEST fish and chips both of us have ever had,...

Love this pub, the landlord is so personable and helpful. Always feel welcome, it’s how a local should be, a really great relaxed atmosphere.

Having lived in the Village for over 35 years, the Chandos has always been my Local. during the last Decade the Management Team has changed several times & not always to my liking. Stuart & Holly have returned the Chandos back to it's former glory....

We went to The Chandos Arms today for the Sunday Carvery with friends to celebrate my husband's birthday. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful and there was a very relaxed, warm atmosphere. The pub was very clean and I loved the decor. The food...

Welcoming hosts, very nice carvery - could have been a little warmer and choice of meat limited (ok, no lamb - which happens to be my favourite but it’s only a small operation so I’ll let them off not having 5 different roasts on the...

Fourteen of us from the Chandos Quiz had a pre-Christmas meal on Tuesday night. This was the first meal I have eaten at the pub since it re-opened under the stewardship of Stewie and Holly, I have to say the meal was perfect in every...
