The Cock & Rabbit Inn in Chiltern

I celebrated my 50th at the C&R a few weeks ago with a party of 25. Robyn and Oliver kindly reserved the dining area for us and made it look amazing. We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks at the lovely bar and then we all sat down for a fantastic meal. It was the perfect venue for a very memorable evening. Thank you Robyn and team 🙏!!

We came for lunch before a visit to the local graveyard on an anniversary. Tables were occupied in the main area. Unaware of the other designated area for dining, we sat in an adjacent room and requested menus, having to ask twice for these and despite that never receiving them. Eventually, the manager walked past us and hurriedly told us we couldn’t dine in this room. Now, none of this so far is grating, it is the accumulation of bad service and bad attitude that is grating. So, we move to the area where we can eat. Menus finally arrive. The plates of food were underwhelming - from presentation to the levels of grease. For the price I expect a little more quality. We asked twice for cutlery before it arrived. The amounts of chips/fries on the plates were meagre for a main meal. Our 13 year old wolfed the burger and fries. We asked the waiter if she could have some more fries. The waiter saw no problem with this initially. However, the manager vetoed it and we were told it would be £4 for a portion of fries. Speaking to the manager about this was unsurprisingly unpleasant. The floor staff were friendly, and doing their best. That they were not on top of the service was the fault of the pub being understaffed. The food was what I’d expect from a roadside pop up. And the management and ethos of the place, off-key.

Just a superb local pub with destination pub food

Very cosy pub. Nice atmosphere and drinks selection. Friendly staff as well.

Nice to see this place back to life again. Food was ace. Really busy for Sunday lunch so booking was essential. Beer was well, beery.

Went to a “Lobster evening” yesterday. Food was superb. Prawns and scallops to start, Lobster Thermidor for main and a choice of gorgeous desserts to follow. Michelin star standard for this meal. With a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc - what could be better?

Fabulous Sunday roast. Busy at weekends do book ahead.

Have a lovely pot of tea with family really lovely atmosphere and very busy cakes looked amazing

Brilliant friendly pub with great food all freshly prepared. Love the changing menu always something new to try. Venison burger and a lovely vegetable risotto today.

A seamless delivery of lunch for an extended family celebrating a significant birthday. Delicious food in a warm family atmosphere. What a lovely venue Oliver has created. Thank you Alfredo, Andre, Fidelis and the rest of the busy team.

The best roast pork I've ever had in my life.. Everything from the food, to the service and the atmosphere was just perfect. Thank you for accommodating us walk-ins. We'll deffo book next time! 🫶

If you’re looking for the best English country pub in 🇬🇧; with Michelin star level food, great selection of beer, wine and spirits then welcome, you have found it.. So good I want to live in the village. 🙌🏼👍🏼 thank you see you soon. 😘

Met a friend for lunch at the Bistro which is connected to the pub, only had the starter fishcake which comes with salad and it was lovely, service was good, looking forward to trying the Sunday lunch

Great little find, delicious food, can sit in or out. Out the front is a large village green. Staff friendly and helpful.

Amazing Sunday roast in a beautiful pub garden. Staff were friendly and attentive, too. Glad to see it's going so well under new management. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic country pub with excellent beer and cider options. Friendly service, lovely beer garden and relaxed atmosphere. Can't fault it.

Personal service Happy staff Great food and surroundings Under new ownership… Oliver has made a huge investment and continues to make this place better week by week A must visit

A friendly pub with good service. We were well looked after. A veggie salad on the main course menu was what I was looking for but the available options were a little limited for me. I ordered just a starter with a side of bread which was tasty.

A beautiful day, a very nice ice cream and a sit down. Just what was needed.

Amazing roast. We got lost walking and were half starved, somehow they managed to accommodate 7 of us despite being busy. Beer was fresh and excellent, delicious roasts, kind and helpful staff.

The pub is SO much better than it was years ago and it seems to attract a very friendly crowd. Decent wines too, in a lovely village setting.

The servers were lovely, however, the way the manager (Oliver I think) treated the workers was appalling!!!! It really upsets me how stuck up and entitled he is. He seriously NEEDS to get a grip.

Lovely asparagus spears and bacon following a walk round The Lee

Lovely place, delicious food at my Auntie's celebration. Coffee and cake needs to be tasted too. Highly recommended a visit.

Absolutely loved the food on our first time sampling the new restaurant menu.... Can't wait to try the new changing menus through the seasons.Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff and good wine selection....Wild Sea bass was sublime 😋

First visit since the recent referb. They've done a great job injecting new life into a great pub in a great location. Serving really good roasts at the weekend, which wasn't apparent looking online at the time of writing

Fantastic food and great service. Spot on!

Really nice upgrade in this space recently and really inviting.

Only had drinks, but a brilliant pub

The iced lemon cake was delicious, the view out onto the green was very pleasant.

It was a real and immersive experience in an English pub who made the story of this beautiful village The Lee. Highly recommended.

Lovely coffee and cake. Helpful, friendly staff.

We enjoyed our drink after a wet walk with our dog.

Went to the cafe attached to the pub which is a great addition. Great pit stop for dog walkers etc. Coffee, cake etc

Excellent Pint and service! Pretty good on price for coffee and cake too. I like what they have done with the refurbishment. Good stuff looks very clean and presentable in the front bar too. WiFi available in the pub which is excellent and it does work in some areas outside in the bear garden but near the pub. Pretty fast speed too. They do good BBQ's I have heard so will be good to savour one at some point. Good stuff. :-)

Stop for a rather excellent coffee. Didn't have a cake but they looked great. Really nice decor after the recent referb.

Great pub, well worth a visit 👌

Fantastic local pub, heaps of atmosphere, great individual rooms, nicely decorated, edgy. Friendly helpful staff. Kitchen/dining under renovation so only sampled a cake. I can’t wait to return on my holidays next year.

Great beer, great staff, all around excellent village pub. Highly recommend!

Status needs to be updated form pub to conservative country club

Nice little Pub, came across it on a bike ride.

Nice place to stop by for a beer

Under new management and currently not cooking food so instead we got a great ploughman's. Get one between 2 as they are huge! Also recommend the lemon drizzle cake from the cafe.

Recently moved to the area and this is my new local, so I've only been going since Oliver took over. Oliver, his son and the staff are all very lovely and this place is feeling like a real centre for the community. The booze is reasonably priced and I very much look forward to the full renovation being completed so that the kitchen can be used. Though in the meantime, they make the most of the outdoor BBQ and the burgers are delicious.

Nice pub very friendly staff and landlord

Great place. Great music. Great people.

A perfect stop for a Sunday BBQ - lovely pub with a great beer garden

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and refurbished. Definitely give it a try you won’t recognise the old filthy hovel it was once. This pub is at last worth going to. The previous owners ran this place to the ground.

Wonderful transformation. A new era...

Under new management and although the kitchen isn’t open yet, you’ll be hard pushed to find a better country pub in a more idyllic setting. Very excited to see how the refurb goes and looking forward to long summer evenings in the beer garden after a dog walk or bike ride

They've completely revamped the place! New decor and clean everywhere! They've got lots of beers and cider on tap! They're still working on the outside of the place, but it's got heating now!

Lovely pub with friendly staff , I was not feeling well and could not get a cab home , Oliver the owner of the pub stepped in and dropped me off at great missenden station. Thanks again oliver

Nice to see it up and running properly under new ownership

Friendly service in a traditional pub.

Delightful food. The place is starting to look a little tired. The setting in the village is very nice and picturesque.

We planned to visit this pub for a drink as a midpoint on our walk between Chesham and Great Missenden on a sunny, warm bank holiday weekend. Staff were openly hostile to us, and refused to serve us a drink even though there were plenty of available picnic tables in their beer garden that lunchtime. They also turned away another couple who arrived at the same time who would also like a quiet drink in the sunshine. We have never experienced anything like it and would highly recommend avoiding this place.

We were there earlier today and the food was sensational, great service and lovely garden to sit and enjoy our food and drinks

One of our favourite venues, good food and friendly staff

Charming little place perfectly located for a post walk drink and meal in the beautiful Chiltern countryside. The wonderful dog friendly beer garden is a bit of a sun trap, great place to spend a lazy afternoon. Had the pasta Graziemille which was lovely - they also have Sidepocket For a Toad from Tring brewery on tap - what’s not to like!

A quirky pub with lots of character.

I visited the village to trace my ancestors and went here for lunch with a friend. The building is beautiful and the garden in which we sat was lovely, with a friendly cat bonus! The food we had was absolutely delicious, my friend had the liver dish and I tried the chicken valdostanna, there wasn't a scrap left it was that good. The staff were so nice, really helpful too when I asked about the history of the pub. I went to research the village but I'll definitely be back just for this pub's food and service, thank you.

The owner accosted me as I came from the car park through the back door following the sign for the bar. Told me off for using wrong entrance. Not the welcome I'd expect.

Lovely staff and fabulous food. Very sweet cats too! Will definitely go back again.

Loved it! Will definitely be back! Thank you!!

I'd passed this place on the way to somewhere else and thought my partner and I will give it a go. Situated on the corner of a lovely village green, it looks like any Old world country pub. That in itself would be enough as it is indeed charming and cozy. A lovely beer garden to the rear also adds to the ambience. The beers are from local breweries and are well kept. There appeared to be adequate provision for those wanting wine or spirits too. What was especially nice was the fact that the pub incorporated a lovely Italian restaurant and had so for over 35 years! They hadn't lost their touch in that time. The dishes were simple, but what we had was delicious! Shall definitely visit again both for pub and restaurant. A hidden delight!

Lovely food and amazing service in a beautiful location. Highly recommend this gem!

Lovely village pub Had lunch in the garden - huge plate of delicious pasta. There were three of us who all said 'we;ll be back'

First time I visited this establishment. The food was excellent, the local Tring ale really good and tasty. I found the place most welcoming. All tables and chairs were cleaned and disinfected after customers' vacated. I will be returning.

Going inside is like going into a museum stuck in the 1970s/80s. The decor is dated to the point it is down-at-heel and looks neglected. But the food is to die for and a lovely village green to sup beer.

Great food, great banter, what’s not to like? Liver & onions are a dream, wonderful mild flavour and creamy texture. Stayed overnight in a MH, 5 1/2 pts, 2 coarse dinner for 2.... £64 !!! WE’LL BE BACK.

Nice outside area with plenty of benches and space. Land lady was fantastic, all staff very welcoming. Food looked good although we didn't eat. Drinks reasonanly priced.

Worth a visit even if just to enjoy the beautiful Lee Green. A lovely pub with great food.

We had a cup of coffee by ringing ahead because of the lockdown rules. It was very welcome after a lovely walk.

We were on a long walk. Phoned in and ordered some food a beer and a wine. All very nice.

Thank you for hosting our little Vintage Rally. Lovely pint, great service and a lovely warm welcome :-)

Excellent liver and onions in this quaint country pub. Situated in a picturesque village this was a real find. Proprietor and the chef are both Italian so, as you would expect, the food is great. They came to speak with us and there is a great sense on humour to the place. In fact, all the staff were very pleasant and the menu was full of good Italian staples. We will be visiting again (the chat with the chef alone was worth the trip). Keep up the great work and thank you for making some hungry Harley riders feel very welcome.

Very pretty setting in cute village. Garden bar round the back as well as seating it the front

Wonderful pub in a beautiful setting. Service outside the front of the pub due to social distancing measures. Service was great with a measure of good banter. Would recommend to any thirtsty cyclist or hiker going through this neck of the woods.

Fantastic food and wonderful garden. A hidden gem!

Food excellent, although pub decor, outside parasols a bit tired!

Just popped in for a beer in the garden no work done in the 4 months shut down dissapointing overgrown garden etc etc

Wonderful Family run country pub, fantastic food, and great drinks. Very welcoming and friendly family. Thank you was a lovely day x

Amazing pub. Great atmosphere. Wonderful people. You will love it here. Just Brilliant!

Friendly, welcoming and great food. Will definitely come again.

Really unusual Italian run pub. The owner is a real Italian gent. Food lovely

Great stop for a break in n a walk, real ale available.

Traditional and has an old 1950's feel. Welcoming owners good beer and attentive food service. Food is varied, generous and we'll priced pasta.

Lovely meal, excellent service.

Restaurant serving Italian food. Small drinking area (to left of front door) retains many of the features of traditional English pub.

Great food well presented fresh and highly recomended only downside place looked tired and needed refurbish

Great place. Real character. Nice ales. Good food with big portions. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff.

Go for signature dishes. Delish. Very friendly people of midsomer murders. I Survived 😁

Best ever good food i ever have lovely pasta and nice salad and good service owners are very warm wellcome when you go there everyone should stop there and have a meal you will never find nicer that this any where in england just try and you will love it for sure.

Very dated pub and dirty and it feels like you are in a front room of somebody.

Thanks for a great time last night guys, haven’t had that much fun in a long time. Love Babs & Steve, the guys in the van.

NICE PLACE TO DINE.........GREAT LITTLE PUB- WITH MADE FROM SCRATCH FOOD AND FRIENDLY STAFF...... GREAT FISH N`CHIPS HERE....... GOOD BAR TOO

Great welcome. Great food. We parked our campervan there for the night. Perfect!

Nice and friendly Good food and quick service Lovely atmosphere

Really good pasta made with natural and local ingredients, and one of the best tiramisu I have ever had. The pub has a very pleasant garden to sit in when sunny and welcoming staff. Also reasonable prices.

Good food; very friendly personal service from the owner. Attractive garden for later in the year. Highly recommended.
