The Dog House Inn in Aylesbury Vale

Nice local pub, with delicious food and great service

Top nosh Sat with a full belly. Fast service hot food and a great atmosphere

Popped in with the family and my best mate for a roast and must say it was excellent! Not only was the food lovely and fresh, but we weren't rushed to be seated or to leave. The serving staff were incredibly friendly. Won't be going anywhere else for a roast dinner. Why have I put it off for so long, even though I live in Bierton!

Lovely buffet after visit to the crematorium. Thankyou

What’s an absolute find, the staff are amazing the attitudes fantastic and the food was to die for this really is a fantastic place and I am more than happy to recommend.

Only went for food which was very good with generous portions and good value mmm o rating for rooms as did not stay

I stopped off at this pub enroute to my holiday. It was nearly 2.00pm and I wasn't sure I would get a meal. However a charming waitress assured me that I was welcome. As I have mobility problems she seated me in the K9's area, which was clean and well decorated. She was very helpful, and I enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch.

Great pub/restaurant great food and lovely staff. Outside seating area upstanding in garden. We had a pushchair with us so weren’t able to access the main restaurant or seating upstairs which was ok as it was a lovely warm sunny day. Will be a problem in winter or rainy days. Would’ve been 5 stars otherwise.

At first could not work out how to enter the bar. Quick service

Great atmosphere, lovely clean pub with a great garden

Avoid at all costs !! No cutlery on the table . One menu for a table of 4 .Meat was tough and slimy .Staff are not trained to take deal with complaints and after complaining about the bad food conveniently disappeared and left our plates with flies buzzing around it for over 20 minutes . All you need to do is to take a look at the responses to the reviews to realise what kind of people are running this place. Would not recommend. Shocking !

Love it here. Meet our son here and have a nice Sunday dinner

Lunch with friends. Nice meal. Friendly helpful staff.

Great Pub. Quick service. Great outdoor area for kids

Appalling! From the moment you enter this pub speaks ‘tired and not cared about’ threadbare carpet and dirty! Disinterested rude staff with very mediocre food. Shame captive customer base in new estate but seems owners couldn’t care less!

From our arrival the waitress that served us was very disinterested. One of our party needed soy or oat milk, there was none! She also needed Gluten free bread, this was because of ongoing medical investigations, not because of a fussy eater! , gluten free bread apparently was available, when the breakfast was brought to us, the gluten free person was given another breakfast, thankfully she checked that it was gluten free, the waitress had put in front of her was a breakfast with gluten, the gluten free breakfast was abominable, look thrown on the plate. The proprietors need to learn that people with medical eating issues should catered for and realise this could be a serious medical issue.

Tried on the spur of the moment as we were visiting a friend. Good selection and varied too. The costs were competitive and affordable. We highly recommend a visit.

Good honest food and reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice outside seating areas.

Sunday lunch was superb. Couldn’t fault it at all. The wife is very critical about eating places, we enjoyed it that much we have booked again for the next week. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Yorkshire pudding was really good. Looking forward to the next visit.

Super friendly staff, lovely food, dog friendly ♥️♥️

Very good Sunday roasts but they get very busy. Have not tried the accommodation.

Changed locally in last few years to put it mildly..last time I visited nothing but fields..Good location ales available nice beer garden and good service...dog Friendly

The food was amazing and I loved it so much I had to make it to the table and I was so happy to see it all done. Fantastic meal out

Three or four lagers, plenty of draught and cask ales, and the guinness is OK as well. Lots to choose from on the food front and good portion sizes, although fish and chips tasted frozen which is poor when paying £15. Dog friendly and a function room as well. Some odd decor but comfortable and warm. Good for a family meal, or a few on the weekend. Not accessible for wheelchairs or low mobility.

Lovely food as usual, great service.

my wife booked and they were very nice on the phone she booked for the both of us and 1 child. when we arrived the staff at the front waited said we have no more space and we gave the table to this guy in the wheelchair complaining about how the pub in not disabled friendly so my 6 year old son teddy buckley went and roundhouse kicked the poor geeza in the wheelchair called geoff that owns a caravan company and took his wheelchair so then the police came and said we can eat our roast in the supply closet so we said sod it and ate out roast in there the service was brilliant and had a very nice owner and me and that owner matched up on tinder the next week and are now married and on out honey moon and now teddy is grown up and is in a 3 way marriage with edward and alfie so i will recommend because the dog house can change you life.

Nice food, helpful staff, dog friendly

Really welcoming, couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Meal for 7 for a birthday party.

Food here was delicious, all 6 of us were very satisfied and will definitely be coming back

First time visiting but l will return the food was excellent and was a good portion.The staff were friendly and the restaurant has a very good atmosphere.

Great service and roasts - the Yorkshire puddings were one of the best we've had. Recommended!

Rarely ever write reviews and only doing so because the lady that served us tonight could not have been more helpful, the service was excellent. Thank you.

Jack and Alex were fabulous, extremely kind and definitely will be coming back again.

Nice place for a drink, but food is overpriced for what you get. Had the beer battered fish and it was definitely fresh out the freezer.

Lovely local pub. Staff friendly and the roast was pretty nice! Would visit again. Thank you.

We want to thank all the staff for making our Sunday dinner experience so much easier for us. Our mum has dementia, being so young most people don’t assume she is ill with it, and people can often find her behaviour offensive and it can be difficult to even go out for dinner. However the staff today helped make our experience so easy and they couldn’t do enough. We want to give a special mention to Jack, his kindness and friendly nature with our mum gave us so much support and enabled us to enjoy a meal out all together. Thank you Jack.

Came today for Sunday lunch after being recommended by friends. Really wish we had gone elsewhere. Tables are crammed in, uncomfortable and small. Service was poor. We had to flag down a staff member to order drinks and then flag another down 15 minutes later to order food. No one came and checked if our food was ok. It wasn't. The meat was dry, over cooked and flavourless. The roast potatoes were old tasting. Yorkshire pudding was a thick, doughy pancake. Veg was hard Gravy mediocre Cauliflower cheese had just had some cheese waved at it! Everything was lukewarm and tasted like it had been cooked hours ago and left on a hot plate. We had planned to stay for pudding but didn't bother. Every table we saw had left lots of food. Unusual for a roast dinner!

Great place for Sunday roast and family get-togethers. We came here for a birthday get together and everybody cleared the plates with very fussy grandchildren. This was good to see been here a few times and it never disappoints book a table early. It’s gets very busy and when you see the food and taste it you can understand why. I do feel it’s somewhat understaffed at busy times, but that’s the nature of a country pub slow pace. The outside space, has grown since our last visit and very child and dog friendly. There were 12 of us for Sunday roast and the food came out hot and on time we will return.

Beautifully succulent and tender burger, soft bun with perfectly cooked chips. The beer flows (Camden pale on draught) and the service is top notch! The pub is dog friendly and has a really good atmosphere inside. There is a terrace with private bench seating and garden seating close to a children’s play area. Perfect for the summer, delightful for the winter it’s perfect all year arround! Lauren (the chef) and the bar staff have out done themselves. We will return, many times.

Standard pub, good selection of Gin.

We booked a table for the first time here for six adults, two kids and a high chair, on a busy bank holiday Sunday. After a quick change around of the tables by the helpful staff, we sat down and had drinks. We did wait a good while for our food, as it was very busy, but it was well worth the wait. Piping hot roast dinners, lots of meat, lots of gravy with each meal, plenty of veg, and the huge table share Yorkshire puddings were fab too. The food was great, the service was great, the staff were very helpful and extremely friendly. Kids area is secure, with enough to occupy them for a while. Would definately recommend for a family meal, and we will be visiting again

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch there was nine of us all said was the best Sunday lunch out we have had nine empty plate went back .Staff are lovely will most definitely become regulars. We'll done.

Food was good, good sized portions! Very good value for money. Service was decent, we sent back a dish as it wasn't right and the new dish was delivered within minutes. Can't fault!

We booked at 10:30 and sat down in the bar area at 14:00, very good portion sizes, very good food and very reasonably priced, all plates cleared and gravy mopped up with the extra Yorkshires we ordered. Would definitely go back for a roast on a Sunday.

I would highly recommend this place. The food was excellent as was the service. The food was served in an appropriately good time and the prices were commendable. They are currently undergoing some refurbishments by the way of an extension, but this didn't interfere with the experience whatsoever.

Great roast dinners, really friendly staff, good location

grace was always happy and smily great place

Such a lovely pub had such a lovely time, Waitress Grace was amazing serving our table so happy with a big smile - that always goes a long way.

Highly recommend. We went to the doghouse for lunch as a family and were very happy with the delicious meal, food was great the staff very pleasant and couldn’t do enough for us, we will definitely be returning here for another family meal.

Fantastic pub with great staff!

Great when the outdoor bar is open, quite a small indoor bar so have always had a little wait for drinks, but worth it nice beer garden nice pint

Lovely pub. Lovely staff. Lovely food.

Well wow wow wow. Me, my partner and daughter had a lovely roast dinner here and it has to be one of the best roast dinners I've had.

Great beer garden and the food was brill! All freshly made it seemed!

A great local pub, always found the staff friendly and attentive, the Sunday roasts are great! Highly recommend kids love the play area and in good location from the out door seating, out door bar is a nice touch as well

Jane & Kerry with all the staff work so hard to make your visit a Great experience

Always lovely food and good price. Parking can sometimes be a bit tight.

The best ham egg and chips I've ever had🙂

The steak Berger was ok, the chips where nice however the onion rings that came with the burger had a heavy vinegar taste and it wasn’t just for me that it tasted that way. It was nice to have a place where the dog could be with us

We used to love visiting the Dog house but it has been lacking more recently. We met friends for drinks after Christmas and I ordered a Pinot Grigio. When it arrived the smell from my glass was very strong and initially made me think the wine was off but then I realised the glass was just really dirty and that’s what I was smelling. My husband ordered another round and noticed the server at the bar was wiping the glasses with a filthy tea towel which probably explained the smell. It’s a shame as this used to be a great local pub! It seems they need training in environmental health issues

Friendly people upon arrival sat in nice area food didn't take to long to come out roast beef was stringy chewy and hard to eat so didn't finish it waited for someone to come check on the food but no one turnt up for at least 45 minutes after we finished. And when they came to clear the table I said the beef was horrible chewy and tough to eat and all I got was a glum look and she walked of and then add salt to injury on the menu its £12.95 but when I got the bill it was £13.95 and not a sorry for the meal nothing and completey rude so won't be eating there again as the pub was not busy

Amazing homemade roast dinner, everything on the plate was delicious, perfectly cooked, service was 100% all the waitresses were lovely!

We popped into the Doghouse on Friday night to watch the football and get some dinner. We ordered the chicken burgers which came with onion rings. After biting into an 'onion ring' it turned out to be calamari that the chef had mixed up. When the young guy behind the bar came back we alerted him to the fact and that I was also allergic to calimari. His response was 'oh that is a big f*** up'. We had to leave to go home and have medication, despite this only 1 of our meals was refunded, not both. Also no manager or anyone more senior even bothered to come out to speak to us. This is a mistake which could have been fatal if the allergy was severe and not an okay mistake to make. Mistakes happen, but the handling of this was so poor.

Wedding anniversary lunch on our way through to Beaconsfield… fab lunch, fab beer, fab service…. Place has had some works done to make it more covid safe with outside area extended, terrace booths… cant recommend it more… try it!

The staff were friendly from the start, and the Covid organisation was comforting. The food was good, glad we stopped.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch If you are looking for a traditional Sunday roast then give this place a try. COVID precautions are good and plenty of space between tables and staff wearing PPE Good choice of roast meets along with vegetarian options. The Yorkshire puddings need to be seen to be believed and plenty of vegetables The honeycomb cheesecake was a treat Thoroughly recommend for couples or families Large car park also worth noting

Local pub with decent large portions of standard pub grub. Sunday lunch is fab for just £10. Could do with some money being spent on the pub to refresh it a bit and give it sone character.

We booked this restaurant at short notice,and we were so pleased we did.The food was excellent,and the service was so good.Have got to say this was one of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had.And then to discover just as we were leaving that it is dog friendly !Perfect ! Will definitely be going back.

We arrived late in the afternoon for Sunday lunch, very friendly staff & first class lunch with generous portions of meat, lovely Yorkshire puddings & cauliflower & broccoli cheese in addition to other vegetables. Nothing was too much trouble, we would highly recommend.

called in for a quick mid week meal. Partner and I both had veg. curry. Absolutely wonderful. Came with garlic bread which was a nice surprise. Rice perfectly cooked. A lovely experience reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Quick service.

The Sunday dinner is absolutely amazing. Great taste, great presentation and great portions. Very good value for money. Lovely!

Yesterday I took my family for Sunday lunch. Two of us ordered the half option. What we got was not half a duck! It was a duck breast with the skin from half a dusk but there were no legs, thigh or drumstick. I showed it to one of the waitresses and she went to talk to the manager about my complaint but no one came near us. When we paid the bill we were charged for two half ducks! As I didn’t want to cause a fuss we paid the bill and left! The menu says half a duck and that’s what I expected, not a breast and a whole side of duck skinn. The rest of the family’s meals were fine as were the veg and Yorkshires! The price of the half duck was 14 + and that’s what we paid!

We visited The Dog House early Saturday afternoon, neither my partner or I had been here before and both had heard mixed reviews. We were both pleasantly surprised, the presentation of the pub/ restaurant was very clean and welcoming. We were acknowledged instantly upon our arrival and experienced a very friendly efficient service. I had the sea bass and my partner had the ribs both came in good time and were delicious. The portion sizes were great. Generally the whole experience was great and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Husband and I decided to grab a bite to eat after finishing work in the area.. checked out the website which showed a lovely menu and gave opening hours until 11pm. We called them 3 times to check to see if food was still being served but there was no answer so thought they're busy and not able to pick up. We stopped there to find 5 blokes sat at a bar and told food stopped at 9pm. We got there no later that 9.10pm.. if only they'd picked up their phone!

This pub just keeps getting better. A burger can be quite a revealing test of any establishment, and their burger is amazing. Good quality ingredients and very well presented. We are fortunate enough to live very close to the pub and plan to work our way through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend for both drinks and/or food.

Called in for lunch today whilst in the area.Fish finger baguette was a real disappointment. I would advise not ordering this item.I pointed out to the waitress that the inside of the fish finger did not resemble anything like fish, it was a sludgy brown/grey in colour and very compact. On speaking to the chef she came back to report that the fish used is the dark side of the fish!!! It did not taste at all nice. The small salad was very fresh and the waitress was very pleasant but I will not be returning.

I took my mum and aunt out for Mothering Sunday. We absolutely loved it had I the duck which was great, my mum had the seniors roast chicken which was big and really nice and my aunt the the turkey which again was great. You get a giant Yorkshire pudding to share and a cauliflower cheese was was ok but it was just cooked cauliflower and broccoli with melted cheese on top.

Visited with a group of friends. Table booked for 8pm, when we arrived we were told the kitchen closed at 8:30 pm. Although they did say they had agreed to have it stay open long when evidence was produced to say the time of the booking had been agreed. If there was a problem and things had to change at short notice would have thought they would have contacted us. Although most of the meals were OK, food could have been hotter. May be its me but did expect the chips to at least look as if they where home made and not out of a freezer packet and look as if they had been kept warm for a while but then by that time it was after the initial kitchen closing time. As I said disappointing.

We go quite often for Sunday lunch it is always lovely though today was not lovely I ordered the roast rib of beef it was obviously not the rib but a much cheaper cut it was very chewy and not enjoyable at all. The Yorkshire puddings which are usually a highlight were doughy and stodgy and not very crisp it was disappointing to say the least. I will give it another try but I expect that when I order and pay for a rib of beef that is what I get and not a cheaper cut

After being rather ill I needed a good lunch, treated by my Dad and after having been recommended by a friend we choose here. It couldn't be faulted. Everything was delicious, especially impressed by the 'proper' gravy and the huge yorkshire. They even found me Lemon Meringue pie after saying they'd sold out. I also have to say the staff work so hard and always cheerful. We will be returning as soon as possible

What has happened to this little jem of a pub in Aylesbury had a hour for lunch decided to treat ourselves to a hot sausage baguette, ended up having to wait for over 45 minutes for it to arrive what made it worse blatantly obviously the sausage filling had not been cooked fresh to order obviously had been cooked earlier possibly frozen then defiantly microwaved very disappointed after several great meals here,

The room was ok, a little dated would have expected more for what we paid! Breakfast was undercooked but the second morning seemed to be a lot better! While we were there the staff were very stressed as I think the chef had threatening behaviour towards them which was uncomfortable to watch!

Being very local, living only 5 minutes walk away we’re very pleased to report the dog house is on the up. (Visited 13/4/18) It’s a work in progress and going in the right direction. The food has always been good but the management team are tidying up and finishing of projects that have previously been started. As mentioned the food is very good as is the service. Proper pub grub, and with the summer hopefully just around the corner we’re hoping to visit more frequently. If your a canal side or Kingsbrook resident then give it a go, support your local pub. The more we support it the better it will be.

Been here many times and never had a bad meal. Friendly staff and the best Sunday lunch. You won’t be disappointed and certainly won’t wish you’d cooked instead. As good as a ‘home roast’.

We came here with friends for an evening meal and had our dog with us. We were all made very welcome and chose various meals from the menu. All the food was tasty and hot, and so filling that we couldn't manage puddings! The loos and entrance could do with some updating, but overall a great experience. In fact we enjoyed the food so much, we've reserved a table for Sunday roast!

Stopped here for a spot of lunch. Burger was very good and served with excellent chips. Baked potatoe with cheese and beans was very generous. Both dishes were served with a good leafy salad. Considering we were the only customers on a very quiet Tuesday lunchtime, service was a little slow, but did not affect our enjoyment of the food.

We celebrated my girlfriends birthday with a meal for 10 all the food was lovely and the service was great would recommend it,

1st time we've eaten here as a family and it was lovely. Food great, service cannot fault. We went for the lighter options. We all enjoyed the food and we will be back in the future.

El menú de almuerzo de domingo era bastante extensa. . . . Y la comida era bastante buena, tenía cordero asado, que era muy bueno - El "famoso" Yorkshire pudding era genial! Otros en nuestro grupo había pavo, carne, cordero y vástago. . . . No tengo ninguna queja, excepto. carne que era difícil. Los postres eran en su mayoría bien pero tuve tarta de merengue de limón, que era bastante insípido y obviamente no recién hecho! ! ! Otros postres y té/café estaban bien. La cerveza homenaje fue muy agradable pero acabaron bastante temprano en la sesión del almuerzo - tenía un orgullo Londres como alternativa pero no termine este, ya que no era de mi agrado. En general no está mal en relación calidad-precio-servicio de mesa era atento y rápido por un personal muy joven. (Oí la charla de equipo cuando llegamos, que era bastante impresionante). No importa la apariencia de "viejas" lo que una vez han sido un pub del pueblo. . Tenía carácter y que recomendaría sin duda el perro de la casa y volvería de nuevo.

A large pub with great food. Theres a large menu and a huge choice of great food here. We have eaten there a couple of times and would not hesitate to return. You are not rushed and the prices are very reasonable. highly recommend it.

Paramos para un aperitivo y quedé muy impresionado. Comimos fuera en un techo, lo que es encantador en el clima caliente y si no te importa el fumador extraño. No puedo comentar sobre el restaurante interno, pero la comida era muy buena y las porciones son bastante grandes. Mi jamón era precioso y el tamaño de dos filetes sobresaliente! El servicio era muy bueno y venía con una sonrisa. Recomiendo este establecimiento, pero tal vez deberían pensar en mejorar su aparcamiento desde el polvoriento variedad de grava. Las primeras impresiones significan mucho.

La comida era excelente. Muy bien preparado, sin embargo, el lugar estaba un poco cansado y le vendría bien una reforma. Pero sin duda volveremos!

Después de leer las críticas, decidimos ir un viernes por la noche. Sorprendentemente éramos los únicos en el restaurante para la mayoría de la noche. La camarera era atento y la comida era de buena calidad, comida abundante a un precio razonable. Yo lo recomendaría,...

Después de leer los comentarios estaba con ganas de probar el asado y por desgracia me quedé decepcionado. La carne era demasiado difícil para mí y mi esposa. La placa también fue nadando en salsa, lo que está bien si te gusta la salsa pero...

La primera vez que hemos estado aquí para comer el domingo y sin duda volveremos. El servicio fue muy bueno, la comida estaba muy rica y era abundante.

Estado aquí muchas veces. Preciosa experiencia cada vez. La comida siempre es buena y abundante. No es demasiado caro. El personal siempre es amable.

We drove over from Milton Keynes. Sunday lunch - Roast lamb @ £13.95 - Pre-cooked 'giant yorkshire puds' were soft and a bit too chewy; no crunch at all. The other ingredients were ok but soft roast potatoes suggested that some pre-cooking and reheating was going on. Meat was lovely. Gravy was too thick and too much of it. Substantial portion size though. Starters were all accompanied by bread and no gluten-free option was indicated. Menus had little or no detail. Almond Sponge is in fact a chocolate and almond torte with chocolate sauce. This wasn't clear. The food is a bit over-priced and very basic; no frills. Typo on the menu stated 'Mirangue' instead of 'Meringue'... Ladies and Gents toilets are labelled 'B*****s' and 'Dogs'... (Trip Advisor classes the female dog word as a profanity and wont allow it in my review. So what might the general public think?) Beer was £4 a pint. Dining room was a bit dark. The car park and garden was very untidy and we had to access via the (wet) outside steps to the rear of the pub. Loads of deep puddles in wet weather right at the bottom of the steps. Will we go back? ...Probably not the way it is now... Lots of potential for growth with the new housing estate being built beside The Dog House Inn. I just hope the lovely friendly and accommodating staff can bring the standard up a notch. Turn 'pub-grub' into restaurant quality food to entice visiting trade as well as local trade. So much potential!!

Having only recently moved to Aylesbury, we have started trying local pubs and restaurants. We went to the Doghouse inn tonight and had a really lovely meal and the staff were lovely. I would recommend the lamb shank - it was beautifully cooked. We will definitely eat there again. Only downside was it was quite cold, and not disabled friendly although they do have a downstairs restaurant it isn't currently being used.

Went for Sunday lunch with 14 friends. The pub was very busy but the standard of the service and food was not compromised at all. I had many messages thanking me for organising a great day but all I did was make a phone call. All the credit must go to the excellent staff of the doghouse. We will definitely be returning soon.

Across the road from Frilford Heath Golf Club made it an ideal location for our visit.The food was very good and the rooms were clean and tidy.The foreign staff on reception could do with more training?
