The Clifden Arms in Aylesbury Vale

Had first day beating yesterday with a new shoot and the pub provided us beautiful bacon and egg rolls for breakfast and then a lovely sit down lunch at the end. All of the food looked lovely and my chicken was delicious. Great selection of drinks and very reasonably priced too. Lovely and warm, lovely friendly staff and just a really cosy welcoming place all round.

Lovely pub with great garden and family vibe. Unfortunately terrible food. Came with a large group and everyone thoroughly disappointed with poor quality.

Visited with quite a large family. Had to clear table ourselves. Sunday lunch - was average, dry potatoes. Had to source own cutlery box, no condiments offered ie mustard etc Nobody came to check food was ok. Table never cleared even an hour after we had finished. Our bill was over £200 with drinks and we don't think we had the service that should have been expected. We would not return.

Lovely evening with family in the sunny garden with a playground. Food and drinks were delicious and lots of happy children playing in the sunshine.

Maravilloso b&b,con un desayuno buenísimo y de calidad. El pub con una comida también exquisita y el trato del staff muy amable y servicial. Zona de aparcamiento y muy buen ambiente. Todo muy bonito y limpio. Ya estamos pensando en volver!!! Gracias!!!

Zum Abschluss unserer Englandreise verbrachten wir eine Nacht in Clifden Arms. Das Zimmer war gemütlich und hübsch eingerichtet, das Bett sehr bequem und das Bad, wie auch der Rest, sehr sauber. Es gab eine umfangreiche Auswahl an Tee und Keksen am Zimmer. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut und von hoher Qualität. Alle waren sehr freundlich und wollten uns den Aufenthalt so schön als möglich gestalten.

Very good food, substantial portions and reasonably priced. Having ordered from the Seniors menu, the dish was far from small. Very palatable glass of Chardonnay. A very engaging and in tune waitress who conversed and waited on us expertly.

Three had lasagna which was warm rather than hot and cooled quickly. Disappointing at £17.50. One had fish n chips. Fish was good but chips were very boring with no taste. Overall not very good value for money.

We had a super Christmas lunch at the Clifden Arms. Lovely ambiance, nice restaurant and really good food. We opted for the two course menu and the main course portions were generous. No need for a pudding. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Absolutely dreadful from beginning to end. Six of us including two children, were pressed together around a table between two other tables. A horrible fabric on the table. The first course of food, mushrooms cold; the main course, a plate overloaded with dreadful large Yorkshire pudding with a very fatty piece of pork. We didn't stay for dessert couldn't bear what might be presented. Human hair found in a drink. Sorry but need to be honest.

Lovely setting, really good service by friendly staff. I belive in wriitng honest reviews. We ate Sunday lunch here and average main courses were served. Some of us had roast lamb, one slice only with many vegatables and the people in our group all said the lamb had a lot of fat. The roast Beef was ok , but agin the portion sizes not good. Otherwise an OK Sunday lunch.

Beautiful pub, incredible food. A cut above your usual pub grub with lots of interesting choices as well as the classics! Lovely staff and good service. Highly recommend!!!

This picturesque place must be exactly how the typical English country pub is commonly perceived, with its thatched roof, oak beams and a cosy atmosphere at the bar - and with a separate public bar, mainly for locals who come here just for a drink. Actually the word 'typical' does very much relate to people's perception as, in truth, there aren't many pubs as pretty as this. They have a decent selection of ales, predominantly from the local Rebellion Brewery. The main menu is fairly standard pub food, but they also have a varying specials menu which is not huge but offers a more interesting selection of dishes. Prices aren't cheap, but reflect the quality of the food. There is a very good beer garden which incorporates a children's play area.

We were not disappointed when we drove up the lane to see this beautiful restaurant and B&B. Quintessential period building with fantastic friendly staff. The room we stayed in was delightful and the breakfast wonderful- a real treat. Have the say the steak evening meal was like no other- 100% recommend

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it, room was very comfortable and facilities were excellent. Breakfasts were very filling and Craig and his staff went above and beyond to help us. Will definitely recommend and looking forward to returning when next in the area

Booked a table last minute on a Friday evening - website looked good and the menu sounded great. Food was average at best - don’t advertise a gourmet burger in a brioche bun then serve a slight upgrade on a McDonalds in a cheap white, sesame seed bun!! Everything was just meh, including the presentation. Kids menu was really poor, pasta was literally penne with tinned tomatoes stirred in (and it cost £6.50). Service was okay, they were all just young and very inexperienced, no one seemed to be overseeing things. Definitely would not go back here - I can think of far better places for spend £100 on a meal for 3 adults and a 6 year old.

We had a delicious meal with visiting friends at The Clifden on Monday lunch time. We had not been before. They have started Meat-Free Mondays alongside other promotions. We were the only people there, which was a real shame as the menu was amazing and the ambience comfortable. We chatted to the chef who was full of plans which sound very enticing. Meat-free Monday is about offering tasty vegetarian/vegan dishes not normally on the menu - there are still meat dishes too. We really recommend this pub. Great food, pleasant outdoor area, children's play area and good parking. (Beware the bump when entering the car park!)

Fabulous 1 night stay to attend a local wedding So accommodating, so we could access our room early Room was lovely, perfectly clean & with everything we needed Delicious breakfast Staff all super friendly, particularly the delightful Emily Thank you for a lovely stay - Michelle & Graeme x

I ate here with three guests. Front of house is staffed by charming young people, but of little experience. We ordered a shared plate of cold cuts of seafood to start with; this normally would take 3 minutes to compose, as no cooking is involved. 45 minutes later it had not arrived; we were told in 5 more minutes, but well, you get the idea. Same thing for the main course. They managed to serve the desert (affugato – a ball of ice cream and an expresso} in 20 minutes. All in all, 2 hours to serve three courses. Front of house were very apologetic and offered to waive the service charge which I declined as the problem had nothing to do with them. Management skulked in the kitchen, never showed their face, made no apology. Lovely cadre, decent food, but I would never eat there again as I found the management to be unacceptable.

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience here for what we hoped would be a lovely bank holiday lunch in the sunshine. We arrived at 12:30pm and the pub was quiet and we order a starter and main for the 3 of us. The starter took an hour to arrive. After another 40 minutes we were still waiting for our main courses and we had to chase these up. Eventually, my husband and son got their main courses but my husband did not quite get what he ordered (he asked for a plain burger with no mayo etc and he got everything on it!). There was no cutlery given so they just used their hands. I had not received my main course so again, I had to chase this up and was told it was being made again (no explanations to why). I continued to wait by which time my husband and son had finished their mains. I was still waiting. On chasing this up again, we decided to no longer stay here. Our experience was highlighted to a member of staff who did not charge us for this debacle but I have left with no lunch, poor service and we will not be returning again, As a family, we enjoy eating out at all our local pubs and restaurants on a regular basis but we will not be using the Clifden Arms.

Really loved this pub. Stopped here for lunch and a couple of drinks on a Monday lunchtime. Beautiful sunny day so we sat in the garden - loads of space in both sun and shade all around the pub. This was their first meat free Monday menu (meat options available too). There were five of us and every meal was excellent. Beers went down well too. Cannot recommend this pub highly enough. Excellent!

this is directed to PENELOPE wow! i came for a cheeky sunday lunch not expecting much from a humble village pub. but was absolutely astonished, not only by the wonderful roast but by the impeccable service. upon walking through the door i was greeted with a smile. a smile that didn’t drop. once. never have i felt so welcomed. it felt like a second home. so familiar and warm. i cannot wait to return. scrummy potatoes too.

2 night stay in the family room...perfect and super clean. Staff friendly helpful professional. Food exceptional and cater fantastically for gluten free. Breakfast outstanding.

Really first class service in warm comfortable surroundings. Decided to choose the burgers for lunch and were not disappointed. They were absolutely delicious with accompanying relishes and perfectly cooked French fries. Will be back soon.

The accommodation is lovely, clean, and very comfortable, building dates back to the 17th Century . The staff are amazingand the food is great.

A delicious meal in pleasant surroundings served by knowledgeable and professional staff. The menu was interesting with a good choice of starters and main courses.

Very limited menu with 4 main dishes. Selected the duck leg and 15 minutes later told it was not available. You would have thought the waiter would have been informed of this with just 4 courses to choose from! Very slow service. Food average.

Found this little gem on Trip Advisor when staying nearby and wanting a nice pub with a restaurant, within the area. Excellent food and the staff were friendly and helpful!

I’m biased. Our family have lived in the village for hundreds of years. We stopped coming because the pub went downhill under the previous management. Then Covid happened. Then we came back to try how things are now. Here we go....Very welcoming. Lovely location. Great staff. Accommodating and they listen. Quick service. Good food. Fabulous chips!!Great local produce and ales. Family friendly but space away from the kids too. David, the restaurant manager, first class. Absolute value for money. Give them a try!Could be a cracker for events....

Have just had Sunday Lunch at the Clifden Arms for the second time. In both cases both the food was excellent. A good choice of mains and vegetables cooked to perfection. The service was prompt and friendly. Very good value for money. A lovely village...

Lovely pub, really friendly staff but food very poor!! Such a shame, won’t be eating there again but will revisit for drinks.

There were seven of us, ranging in age from 10 to 80. Bearing in mind this was the first Saturday after the lockdown, we were pleased to find great care had been taken with observing the "Covid" rules. The food was excellent, a wide choice to suit all ages and appetites at a reasonable price, but also attention was paid to the fact that four of the party required Gluten free food. Waitress service was slick and unobtrusive, all the staff very polite and caring. We shall certainly be coming back!

We hosted a small gathering for a 70th birthday celebration. Jude and Steph looked after us amazingly from first enquiry to end follow up. The options for food and packages were lovely and it was hard to choose between them! The marquee was airy and spacious, food plentiful and tasty and bar staff and waiters/waitresses were very attentive, Matt, Connor & Jodie in particular. Having previously hosted a 40th party there too we’d highly recommend the Clifden Arms as a celebration venue whatever the size and occasion! Thanks team for looking after us so well and for helping us meet safely as a group

We visited Waterperry gardens and were looking for a pub nearby for lunch - it was my husband's birthday and wanted to celebrate with a nice lunch. And we certainly picked the right place. The service was excellent - warm, friendly and attentive without being intrusive and the food was equally good. A lovely marquee with bar and inviting atmosphere - they clearly have made a real effort to make it feel a very comfortable place to enjoy your food - protected us from the rain and the curried carrot soup and warm ciabatta was a delicious starter. We both had burgers - mine was the chicken and my husband's was the beef and they were both delicious - no extra table seasoning required - even the thick cut, crunchy chips came perfectly seasoned. We couldn't fault it from start to finish - they were really on the ball with the covid requirements too and the tables were well spaced out - felt completely safe. Will definitely be back and look forward to our next visit.

Had the Sunday Roast here, and got to say it was the best i've had for as long as i can remember. I had the Lamb and my girlfriend had the Beef. They were both absolutely amazing.. Highly recommended..

Went here for Sunday dinner and it was one of the best we have ever had. The portions are huge, the meat was delicious and cauliflower cheese to die for! Their scotch egg starter was also the best I’ve had.We can’t wait to go back!! Only down side is no baby change facilities

Our accommodation review can be found on the venues appropriate page but we did book an evening meal with the stay.Good Covid guidelines with one way system, sanitisers, masks, table service etc. Firstly, the staff were immense, great service throughout, one of the best service and attention received without being over the top and annoying.The food was really nice, fresh, arrived warm and looked nice - the wife only comment was that the prawns in the Thai butter came whole and trying to use a knife and fork to remove the heads and shell was difficult and she thought would be better if the prawns were already shelled etc. I tried that dish and tasted lovely. The puddings were also lovely. Would recommend this restaurant as has a lovely atmosphere and ambiance and imagine a lovely setting in the summer garden.

Terrific restaurant - the atmosphere was great, very friendly, and things felt very ‘normal’ (although the environment was COVID-19 safe). The menu was varied, the food tasty and the service efficient. Highly recommend.

We chose this pub for a lunch venue based upon it's TripAdvisor reviews and it's close proximity to Waterperry Gardens, which we had visited on the morning. The tasty food, friendly service and ambience fully met our expectations. Also felt very Covid safe.

Our lovely local played a blinder during lockdown delivering provisions boxes, doing takeaways (the pizza's went down particularly well chez nous!!) As I'm still working from home 6 months on he who is retired suggested I actually had a lunch break . Am I the only one who feels they need to work from 8-4 continuously while grabbing a sandwich while WFH??? What a fab idea. We haven't been out much and had a fab experience. There are motion sanitisers all over the place so you just wiggle a bit and you are good to go!! The service is splendid, the food is gorgeous and if you love a glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc you will not be disappointed. And they are still doing Eat out to help out on Mon & Tues right up until the end of Nov. Give them a go folks; they deserve it and you will enjoy it. It's win win really x

The Clifden Arms is an enchanting place - beautiful old building, lovely garden, great play area for children, very attentive and charming staff. And - delicious fish and chips!! Couldn't have been better.All the 'Covid Rules' in place so we felt very comfortable to be eating there.

We had lunch here and the food was really excellent - can definitely recommend the scotch egg! The garden is beautiful and there’s even a marquee area with covered seating as well as a play area for the children. The staff were lovely and very attentive and you felt very safe in these difficult times. We’ll definitely go again!

We Went to visit friends in Worminghall and went to the cliffden arms for a drink and some food ,excellent food ,very relaxed and enough fun things for the kids to do . A very pleasant relaxed evening out .

Out of the way and parking can be tight. VERY friendly family pub. Sunday lunch was good value but almost all the vegetables were undercooked and the gravy had no flavour. Get this right and it could be a gem.

A fantastic night here. The staff were brilliant and the fellow revellers all joined in to see 2020 in in style!! Great music. See you all soon.

What a great meal! friendly staff, fabulous menu. We had two vegetarians and two kids in our party, all were very happy with their selections from the menu. The Scotch Egg starter and Brownie Sunday were particular highlights but all the food was well presented and tasted great.Will book again

Found this AWESOME community pub driving back from Wales. We booked in for a night and had a meal in the restaurant. Its really impressive. The building dates back to the 17th Century the accommodation is lovely, clean, and very comfortable. The staff are amazing (Thank you Tony) and the food is great. Beer is fantastic, bar well stocked. Log fires community feel. What more can you ask for??????

I am a vegan with a nut allergy, when visiting the pub there weren’t any vegan options on the menu but after speaking with the staff they were more than happy to cook something else for me! I had a vegetable & chickpea gnocchi- it was amazing!The service also was 10/10, will absolutely visit again.

We arrived later than expected and greeted with a smile and that we had been upgraded, so we could be in a room next to my mother in law’s room which we had asked to be in the ground floor, with little walking, due to her mobility!Breakfast was vast and they gave us a choice of, what seemed like, everything from Salmon to full fry up, delicious.Thank you

Peter and I want to say a massive thank you to Jud and her team for an amazing wedding at The Cliften Arms, nothing was to much trouble no matter what our request. The venue was fantastic the food was exceptional and everyone worked so hard.. All that came to the wedding told me that they had the best time. If anyone is looking for a venue I would very much recommend The Cliften Arms. We stayed the night and again it was lovely, bed comfortable, room clean décor great. What more could you ask for? A perfect day!!Thank you once again xxChristina Robinson

Having been let down at the last minute by another local hostelry, Booking.com suggested this pub and they were spot on! The young lady who checked us in was polite and efficient and took us over to our room in the accommodation block. And what a room, brilliant bathroom and a very comfortable bed.Going over to the bar, the bar manager was a true pub professional, knew how to pour a good pint and very helpful. We ate in the restaurant and, again, service was very good as was the food, excellent squid and baby octopus salad to start and one fish pie, full of fresh fish and and a perfect Belted Galloway steak. Breakfast was equally good. We will make a point of returning to this excellent establishment,

Went with a friend for dinner last night. Found the restaurant surprisingly empty (the weather was awful so probably only hardy souls turning out.) From the moment we walked in we were given a warm welcome and really looked after. The young man serving us (why didn't I get his name?) clearly knew his job and carried it out fuss free. When my friend asked for a glass of wine he listed from memory the wines available and then gave a recommendation when asked. As well as working behind the bar he was our waiter for the evening. I feel the need to make a big point about the great service as this isn't always evident in other establishments and really helped make our evening - along with the great food of course. A typical country pub offering just a little bit more.

Chose this establishment as a half way place to meet up with relatives - had passed it many times on the way to Waterperry and the excellent Garden Centre and Farm Shop. Had been closed for a number of years and very pleased to see it had re-opened. Beautifully refurbished still retaining bags of character. Busy place at 1pm on a Sunday - good menu and super idea of "smaller" portions priced for children and seniors. The beef in particular was excellent as was the Spicy Crab starter.

Two evening meals were experienced at The Clifden Arms, where we have recently stayed at its B & B facility. We were quite surprised by some of the food pairings, for example parpadelle pasta to go with beef shin and beef jus, which didn't seem to go together. The chosen meals from the menu were somewhat disappointing - great presentation but, for example, the vegetable tagine did not quite live up to expectation and left me with a rather leaden feeling in my tummy throughout the rest of the evening and overnight. The "whet the appetite" bread with dipping oil was, surprisingly, unpresented with a mix of olive oil and balsamic, as might be expected, and when this was queried, were told that they didn't have any balsamic. We also had to ask for side plates in order to share this platter, so as not to make a mess across the table. The raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake came with a heavy, overthick biscuit base which was quite unpleasant, and my husband's ginger cake lacked ginger flavour and came with a paltry serving of custard, having been informed that the kitchen did not have any vanilla icecream. Small details - but they can make all the difference. However, we could not fault the very friendly lady who initially served us on our first evening, who made us very welcome, and the actual pub building itself is quirky and interesting.

Visited the pub this evening for a meal. It had a lovely, friendly atmosphere and the service both at the bar and restaurant was excellent. The food for both veggies and meat eaters was good. We will definitely be visiting again.

Ordered from the simpler 'small plates' menu & the order was initially mis-keyed at bar or forgotten by the kitchen. These things do happen but only 1 young person at the bar & a child who looked about 14 serving food. No manager around & I felt sorry for the young people who were put in this impossible situation.

The food was excellent. We chose from todays special fish courses, and it was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the patrons a mixture of locals and visitors from afar. Our room was newly renovated, and very nice.

What a lovely little gem, we had a lovely meal, with a great pint which was great and the staff are very friendly, keep up the great work and see you again soon.

We took some old friends for dinner. There was a small range of good draught beers and a good menu - not too long but what I would call traditional pub grub. I had ham, eggs and excellent chips. Others had fish and chips and steak. All were well-presented and very tasty. Having recently been bought from a brewery and now in private hands, this pub is fulfilling the role of a good local.
