The Crooked Billet in Wycombe

Such a beautiful country pub. Parking available outside and across the road. It’s like stepping back in time when you walk inside with a cosy atmosphere and even a wood burning fire on when we went. There’s a pretty outdoor garden which would be lovely in summer. Staff were friendly and welcoming whilst the food was simple but affordable and very tasty. All in all, we loved it! 🥰 Tip- it was busy on Saturday afternoon (they only serve food until 3pm) so I would recommend calling ahead to book a table.

Four of us, all walkers, dropped by this pub for lunch today. It was busy, but had a lovely friendly atmosphere. Luckily we found a table and were really well looked after by the staff. My wife and I had sausages and mash, complete with vegetables. We both felt that this was the best of its type we'd tasted in a pub: beautifully presented...beautifully cooked. The Crooked Billet will go into our list of pubs to re-visit when in the area. Thank you for your excellent service!

A cosy traditional pub with no music, a fire and comfortable seating offering a basic menu but very good value.

Opening times have not been adjusted on Google Maps. I drove well out of my way to come here and was told Google have got it wrong. It’s clearly not the first time it’s happened, but it’s only a two minute job to adjust on Google.

Gorgeous country Pub, with a beautiful garden, friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere, exceptional food(especially the roasts on Sunday), with plenty of free parking.

Excellent Customer Service from friendly staff and the food is also excellent ……Highly recommend ..… Thank you 10/10 👍

Brilliant pub with great service and many high quality ales.

We really like this place, very nice traditional pub with lovely food.

I hadn’t visited in a while. Perhaps the reservation time could have also played a role at 1:30 but lunch took almost three hours do to lengthy wait between courses. The server was lovely but had a lot of tables. The appetizers were fabulous the roast fell a bit short with raw broccoli but the desert was amazing. So a mixed bag…

Really good value for English pub food. A wonderful garden full of flowers.

What a gem! Lovely little pub with a gorgeous garden. My husband has driven past a couple times, so we decided to take a visit and had some lunch. Food was delicious, we will definitely be returning!

Visited this lovely, friendly pub when travelling to Marlow, having searched trip advisor before our journey. We parked at the front as we couldn’t see a car park and accessed the entrance via steps. The garden is truly beautiful at this time of year but unfortunately the weather was not so kind. We visited for lunch on a Wednesday; a couple of tables had been reserved, a number were taken and a few were left. Imagine weekends get quite busy and you probably need to book. Shame we couldn’t sit outside as it’s so lovely. The prices are amazing value for money; I had the gammon ploughman’s and asked for cheddar cheese to be added (would have preferred ham off the bone, and a pork pie or apple to be included). It was though very tasty and substantial. Hubby had the Billet style burger with Stilton, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We loved our visit and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good, value for money, traditional pub.

Our family has enjoyed many excellent lunches at the Crooked Billet. It’s very dog friendly so we walk up there along some lovely paths. The garden is immaculate and very beautiful. It is a very old, traditional building which is very cosy and well- maintained inside. The staff are very friendly and efficient. There is a good range of tasty starters. The Sunday lunches are delicious and, although I’m not a vegetarian, my personal favourite is the nut roast- I have not found its equal anywhere around here. The lunches on other days have a very good choice and are very tasty too. My particular favourite is the dessert menu, again a wide range and really yummy such as apple and rhubarb crumble, honeycomb cheese cake and treacle sponge. Above all, all the food is really good value, the best value around.

We love the Crooked Billet, and visit very frequently all year round. This is why:- 1. It is a pub obviously deeply loved by its Landlord and Landlady who have been in residence for over 30 years. 2. The garden is spectacular (and award winning!) always full of colourful bedding plants. Perfect on a sunny day, with covered areas when needed. 3. The inside is warm and inviting, with lovely old English traditional decor. It feels very snug in the winter with the log burner on. 4. The staff are great, very helpful and always make us (and our dog) feel very welcome. Your dog will instantly love it as they will likely be offered biscuits by the Landlord!! 5. The food is great, and excellent value. There is a noticeable difference in how much less you spend to feed the family at the Crooked!! There is an excellent variety of traditional pub fare (served lunchtimes only) on offer. My favourites from the Monday to Saturday include the Billet Burger and Gammon…and on Sundays, the roast dinner. Booking highly recommended as I see walk-ins often disappointed to find it fully booked!!! 6. If you like traditional deserts, this is the place…great size, and amazing value!! 7. There is a nice selection of wines and beers (including the traditional ales Timmy Taylors and Youngs). 8. Just by the pub is a public footpath leading into lovely woods, with various trails where there is a good chance of seeing deer and other wildlife. Some of the paths are circular bringing you back in 30 mins to an hour. In particular (not on a map) one route at the top brings you out onto a permissive path (owner allows access) leading along the outside of the woods with outstanding views of Thames Valley….you then dip back into the woods at the end and can circle back….one of our favourites!! Enjoy!!!

This rating is mainly due to the food i was served. The fish and chips was waste of money and most likely cooked put of frozen box.

Lovely traditional pub. Great service.

Basic and tasty pub food, but lunchtime only.

Really nice pub, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Good selection of food and beverages, well worth a vist

A really nice place with excellent service, did not have to wait too long to get your food. Nice friendly staff

Fantastic gem, lovely old country pub, with nice floral gardens out front in the summer and serving good pub food menu at reasonable prices. If you like a proper Ploughman's lunch, you will be in for a treat! Good place to walk the dog around the woods (public footpath next door) and come back for a cold pint out front in the summer or an ale and cosy fireplace inside in the winter.

43 years since last visit. Taught at Pembroke school. It was our Fridays lunchtime local. So as I remember. Great times

Only stopped for a drink, but a 'proper' pub. Will be back...

Such a fabulous experience having lunch in this quaint little pub. Lunch any day is a treat, but Sunday lunch is amazing too. The puddings are outstanding and the apple and rhubarb crumble is not to be missed. A fantastic landlord and landlady duo, that are so warm & welcoming and who take great care and pride in their lovely little pub. A truly lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, the jam sponge was delicious 😋

Just stopped for a couple of beers. The garden is beautiful. The welcome was great but best of all the beer was really fine.

Had a lovely family lunch here, celebrating my mum’s birthday - great food and fabulous staff- thank you!

Excellent overall. Food was great quality for the price. Cozy older building, so watch your head if you are more than 5 foot tall.

Absolutely beautiful people in an Absolutely place I would highly recommend this for a pleasent day / night out.

Old school pleasant chivalrous employees, no rush get the food to you as soon as possible beautiful gardens bargain prices

Very pleasant and helpful staff, everyone enjoyed their meals and loved the flowers everywhere.

Great pub for lunch and a pint 👍

Only stopped for a quick drink on Sunday lunch time atmosphere good garden beautiful . Definitely be back for lunch .

The pub is located just on a bit of a higher ground where you have the amazing views of the local fields of Flackwell Heath. Their garden is full of beautiful flowers, pots and hanging baskets everywhere. It's a very nice place to go to enjoy lovely food and drinks with a view. Very friendly service, highly recommend it.

Lived in the Maidenhead area for 40 odd years but never been to this Pub before. Very picturesque garden and extensive lunch only menu (no food available in the evening is my recollection). Very polite and accommodating Landlord and wife. Good beer and service.

Bill and Anita are fantastic hosts. Had a fabulous sarnie and great chips. Beautiful garden.

Excellent service and very good pub grub

Fabulous old pub with lots of history. The chilli was amazing. It’s also very very good value for money!

Cold beer in the beautiful garden after a walk....perfect. 🍺🍺

The proprietor is always friendly and the garden is absolutely beautiful.

The billet makes wonderful sandwiches as well as fish and chips plus more.

Great country pub would definitely go back

Nice pub , delicious wine , good beers too . Next time will try food

Came upon recommendations for the Sunday lunch. Firstly staff were welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy the roast, not very tasty and just overall poor quality. Tried adding some salt and pepper to get it going a little more but still bland. Shame as the setting is so lovely.

Food was fab and great value for money. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

Such a pretty pub and garden. Clean and tidy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Ordered the brie ploughmans and it was delicious. Also not too big as some pub meals are just massive. Happily had room for dessert. My sister ordered bread & butter pudding and I had the treacle sponge with custard. Absolutely delicious and made fresh on the premises (not bought in and reheated like some restaurant and pub desserts are). Compliments to the chef! A very pleasant visit and will definitely visit again. O

Love this pub. Super friendly team, always as smile when you walk in. Have had a few very good nights in the Billet. Would highly recommend.

Always nice here and food great. One of my favourite places

Very nice traditional pub with good food.

Well kept beers. I had the Youngs✅ and very well cooked, good quality, basic pub grub at extremely reasonable prices in a traditional, comfortable English pub.!✅✅

A great pub, wonderful garden and good pub grub

Great chilli and chips 🍟 in a wonderful beautiful sunny garden. Only downside is no food orders after 2pm, but guess its only a small kitchen and they can't just hang around for the odd punter to call after that time.

Beautiful garden, lovely little pub.

Lovely country pub to stop for lunch at on a dog walk.

Nice pub. Friendly landlord and landlady.

Excellent called in for a drink whilst passing decided to have a roast dinner superb . beautiful garden well done to the team

Very nice pub. Most excellent Sunday lunch. Highly recommended. Thanks for great service. I will be back soon 👍. P.S. Since 19/7/21 I have my Sunday lunch every week at The Crooked Billet. Booking essential.

We come in today to try the nut roast for the first time at this little gem of a traditional pub. The food was really tasty and my daughter who does not always eat her dinner, ate every last bit up. We will hopefully be moving to Flackwell Heath in the new year and can’t wait to have this as our new local, Thank you so much for the perfect roast dinner and the best customer service, Kind regards Matthias family

The manager was rude to me. When I went to the bar he asked me: What do you want? (Whithout greeting me) I was quite shocked but I told him I'd like to have a table for one. He showed me one, gave me the the menu and told me if I want anything I have to go inside. I was just reading the menu when his wife came out and took my order. She was lovely. I ordered fish goujons (however in my mind I wanted chicken) so I told it to one of the waitresses. The manager's wife showed me which one I ordered and she was right I ordered the fish. She wanted to change my food but I told her I am all right with the fish. She was very kind. When I finished my meal the manager took my plate and I asked him for the bill. He gave me a piece of paper handwritten with the price without saying anything but he looked at me like I did something bad to him. I am not going back again. The place was nice and the food was delicious but I don't want to go anywhere where I am not welcome.

Beautiful little pub for a lovely summer day. Very cosy on a cooler day.

Out this quaint little pub at the back of Marlow Not the biggest but has to be the prettiest pub around Landlord has a passion about his garden Decent beer and good value Pub food Certainly will be returning Keep it a secret ?

Always a warm welcome at this wonderful pub. Today we went for Sunday lunch - perfectly cooked large helping of roast pork with all the trimmings for just £11. The gardens are stunning and the landlord and landlady always friendly and have a treat for our dog. The perfect venue to stop off on a local walk. Highly recommend!

Old building, hundreds of years old, cosy. Quite bug garden. Beer and food. Limited opening timed so check. Limited parking

I stumbled across this pub by accident on the way home. I told my wife about it so we went back that afternoon for lunch. It's nothing fancy, just a good old fashioned country pub with simple home made foods and a decent selection of drinks. Will definitely be returning!

I've visited the pub 2 days ago. Amazing athmosphere outside and inside, very cozy and clean! I really reccomend!

Because of covid-19 not been here for the last 2 years.But went today for lunch,and nothing has changed, great ambiance, friendly staff,good choice of craft beers,and the homemade food was excellent and very tasty.Would definitely recommend 👌 👍 😀

Excellent traditional pub. Lovely home-cooked food and excellent ale and today there was Timothy Taylor's. Just the job.

Very pretty with all the flowers. Burger was nice.

Nice lunch, staff could smile once or twice.

Gorgeous little out of the way pub with a lovely little fairytale garden with lots of flowers.

Lovely little pub vith beautiful flowery terrace

Great country pub with friendly staff and excellent real ale.

It is a pub, not pretending to be a restaurant that serves decent food at decent prices. Recommended

Great traditional pub with fantastic value food.

Wow what a great find Lovely lunch Friendly staff Will definitely be back

Cosy "old fashioned " pub. Had lunch there with a few friends. Welcome, food and service all very good

Lovely Sunday roast in a quaint old pub. Friendly service and very good value. The dogs were welcome in the bar area.

What else can I say about this little gem! Me and my husband met up with a friend who we hadn't seen since covid took over every aspect of our lives. Our friend lives in Windsor and we live in South Staffordshire, so we decided to venture outside our local area and beyond where any of our families live, for the very first time in almost 2 years! I am so glad we did and even more so having been given the recommendation to have a pub lunch in your amazing watering hole. The Pate was perfect, the Burger with brie is just genius and the fish & chips were outstanding! Thank you, your bar staff, who actually came to the table and took our order, and not to forget the kitchen supremo's! I would have washed the dishes by the way! The visit was well worth the 6hr round trip for a 3hr visit to the area and we would highly recommend anyone passing by on Sheepridge Lane to pop in for a bite to eat and drink.

Excellent. Short bar lunch menu, very good value and perfectly cooked. Definitely will return, frequently!

Beautiful pub, lovely food will definitely go back

Excellent.Good value roasts.Been twice on a Sunday.Will go again soon.lovely

Beautiful setting good pub grub

Lovely garden very relaxing,great food

Nice place and staff, room for improvement in the food

Quaint garden, with old fashioned style interior

Went for lunch with a friend, I have never seen such a beautiful garden ever, better than going to Chelsea flower show!! Very warm welcome by the landlord and land lady that have owned the pub for 37 years, all the staff were very helpful and friendly, the landlord chatted to everyone making them feel very welcome, the food was proper English food, not enough pubs sell that these days!!! My scampi was amazing and my friend had the tuna sandwich in lovely billet style bread which was like bread used to taste. Everything on the menu is under £10, such good value for money, lovely selection of bitters and lagers, wine and soft drinks too. Inside the pub it is very English and has so much 16th century charm. This pub is a must visit pub as it’s a little English Gem that you don’t see very often these days run buy owners that truly love their little pub.

Had a delicious lunch in the beautiful garden. Good, friendly service. Will go again soon.

Love it. Great beer garden, classic English country pub.

We booked lunch here to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary. The staff were extremely welcoming,. The food and beer and ambience were excellent and the gardens are stunning with an array of blooms. A traditional pub where you are treated as individuals, not just ‘another party of guests’. Impeccable customer service. Highly recommend, we will definitely return.

Lovely little pub just a shame they didn't do food in the evening

Lovely reception from the friendly staff, and the lunch time food was just the ticket.

Beautiful beer garden and great service. Very limited menu is the only drawback.

. Mostly outside very pretty with flower boxes and tubs. We'll cooked food with good verity and fairly priced.

Lovely setting , good service and good food

Fabulous place. Friendly, agreat traditional pub with great good value food. Beautiful garden with masses of colour from flowers everywhere.

Wow what an amazing Sunday lunch!!lovely roast dinner was so good . Compared to other local pubs it is such Fabulous value but better still great food and fantastic service in an Traditional pub

Ploughman's needs a refresh. Was disappointed with it after taking a client for lunch. Presentation was poor. Remember you eat with your eyes first.

Although it is on a fairly busy road, this inn has a lovely garden full of scented flowers and a lovely tasty menu. When we're next in the area we'll definitely return!

Very enjoyable afternoon we will come again thank you

A classic pub experience - friendly service and decent pub grub, would have liked a bigger beer selection/ more variety. Nice 4 mile circular walk starting and finishing at the pub available.

Good food, beer and service well worth visiting
