The Dukes Head in South Bucks

Lovely little pub, landlady always friendly and always chatty to everyone. The best atmosphere and always smells lush!

Terrible. Bar lady/Pub manager was extremely rude. Had no soft drinks for my children, then bar lady/manager managed to close a cellar door, for which she does not have the entry code, then accused us, being nearest to the door, of closing it! Wow. When I pointed out we hadn't been near the door, she was even ruder. Left almost immediately.

leaves cellar door ajar, then decided to blame asian customers for closing it when it was already closed... very disappointed with the attitude and would not recommend anyone to visit this pub with family

New chef brilliant cook food tastes amazing old school style taste burger was amazing out of this world chicken wings were proper old school lovely definitely go again also good came out fast no waiting

It has taken me a couple of weeks to think about this review. We were at this pub for a wake , so it’s difficult to write.but the buffet what was provided was to say the least was very very poor .even more so when I found out the widow was charged £520 for it. Sandwiches which were tuna tuna and more tuna a few ham and cheese . A bowel of chips sausage rolls cocktail Sauages and chicken nuggets ,oh ya a small bowel of pasta salad. I know this pub is under new management and since it reopened it has nothing n the previous landlord and how the restaurant was run . I think this landlord needs to rethink how a village pub is run and look at the customers he has lost because of the poor food that is severed and his extortionist priceing.

Food was very poor . Pie was disgusting not a chicken pie how I know it and I’m a catering manager myself Royal Oak much better they have a much better selection and offer more choice of vegetables . They only had green beans and carrots . Will not be going again I can see why we was the only people in there . They are all in the Royal Oak Sort it out

Visited with family last night. Only group eating and had to wait absolutely ages for our meals. Very limited menu, nothing like it says online Burgers only meal that was any good, chicken meal very dry, my pasta dish very greasy & oily and small portion. Staff worked hard and apologetic regarding wait. Very tatty surroundings that needs a lot of work. Not good enough, dissapointed.

This is an old pub with lots of character. My wife and I ordered drinks at the bar and was taken to a seat in the restaurant area and ordered food and I was pleasantly surprised, I ordered liver and bacon this was delicious with lots of rich grave and very reasonable priced £13.00. I saw other people order the fish and chips and wow it looked good. The service was impeccable the server was knowledgeable about the food and drinks It was a pleasant afternoon. There is also a free car park which is bonus

Frequently visited the Duke's Head prior to lockdown and was always happy with food and service in relaxed environment. Unfortunately it has since changed hands and it's not like it used to be, even though the menu is the same. Service was slow and the chef doesn't seem to understand the concept of serving hot food... everything was cold, or tepid at best, and not at all enjoyable. Should've known as soon as we arrived that there was a problem as the place was nearly empty and this is always a good indication of the standards! I will miss the old place but won't be going back there unless it changes hands again.

Unfortunately, the chef does not seem able to understand what people want. Also the one thing on the menu said' ask which curry of the day' was on. Waitress did not know !! Customer asked is it madras or Korma to get an idea of spicyness, but was just told chicken curry??. Please get a better menu & chef. This used to be place people would drive miles to eat at, what a shame. Just go back to original menu x

The Dukes Head is our only remaining local pub, it’s always been a focal point of our village and changed hands just before the pandemic struck! It was closed for over a year and has now reopened and we thought we would go out despite the bitter cold and see what it offers now. There were only 2 others dining, it was a Wednesday at 7.30pm. They were elderly and asked for the fire to be turned on, it was a little chilly. It’s a shame the fireplace isn’t utilised as it is situated in the dining area and make it more cosy. We asked for the wine list, there wasn’t one; no need when there’s only 2 reds on offer and the Merlot was out of stock. We therefore had the shiraz which was a safe Hardys. More choice is needed and attention to detail as our wine glasses had lipstick on them and needed to be changed. For our starters, I had pate with toast which tasted OK but looked like mud and was a bit too smooth. My husband had calamari which was light and fluffy and very nice. We chose sea bass for our mains but it wasn’t available, so we had chicken breast with garlic mash which was wet and had too much garlic, it came with green beans, It would have been nice to have a choice of potatoes, as we would have had new potatoes with butter not garlic and more vegetables. The couple left before our main arrived and I asked what they thought of their meal. The lady said she had the “Dukes burger” which wasn’t something she would normally choose but there was lack of choice on the menu. The gentleman had the steak and was very pleased with his meal but then it was £19+ so it should be a good quality steak for that price. My personal opinion is that they need to offer more pub grub at affordable prices, to get the restaurant back to full capacity as it used to be every night. Offer “Winter Warmers” a choice of home made pies with plenty of filling, there was only a chicken leek and mushroom pie and I don’t like mushrooms. Only 1 soup which was tomato (boring). They need more soups on offer with homemade bread - get those lovely smells coming out of the kitchen and have coffee going to tantalise the tastebuds! Turn drinkers into diners! Have hot pots and chilli concarne. Easy but warming on a cold night in Winter! Lamb shanks and fish and chips. They have s French chef so maybe offer some moules and frittes. Prawn cocktail was always a favourite starter there. Have a cauldron of mulled wine on the bar and Christmas carols in the background. Make it an entertainment pub with music to draw people there again. One more observation, several chairs were very worn and need replacing.

We went to the Duke's Head for a family Christmas meal from their Christmas menu. We were late to all get seated but it was no problem to the staff who were great, excellent service, food arrived more or less at the same time which isn't that easy with a party of 28, especially as there was another large booking at the same time for lunch. Food was decent, again catering for those numbers isn't easy all at the same time. But I'd visit again for the staff and service alone.

So happy to be able to come back to this pub after fearing it would close. Had a roast with my family, it was delicious, huge portion really tasty and was just like home cooked food. The desserts were also delicious. Staff were amazing, super attentive and friendly. Was a real pleasure to be there!

This was my first time attending the pub since the new owners took over and all I can say is ‘what a disappointment’. The pub was freezing cold, the potatoes were tasteless, the veg was tasteless. It was over priced for a meal I’d describe as something you put in the microwave to heat up. No freshness, just a ready meal in my eyes. On the plus side of the visit and I’ll repeat, the only plus side of the visit was that the staff service was brilliant. All staff were friendly and didn’t keep us waiting. It’s saddening knowing this place was known for beautiful, mouthwatering roasts, those days are gone I guess!

First time visited for Sunday Roast, under new owners. Not good at all. Tasteless roast potatoes, rock hard veg, looked like frozen veg. Revolting cabbage & bacon in a creamy sauce. Meat not bad. Gravy tasteless & runny. Used to be great roast dinners with old owners. Will not be returning

Roast dinner are terrible no taste to roast potatoes meat hard chewy veg is disgusting since new owners taken over plus roast dinners r £13.50 for it nice food no children roast dinners.

Nice pub but awful waitress, I believe one of her colleagues called her Demi. She is very rude and has a lot of attitude. She was coming across very flirty with my partner but was stone faced to me, I don’t like the way she acted. Food was amazing but not happy with my service a rude, flirty, disrespectful young woman.

Absolutely fantastic evening great crowd great entertainment staff amazing couldn’t do enough for everyone considering how busy it was they maintained it with a professional manner these new owners are outstanding And endeavour to keep all ages happy.

Welcomed by Emma the owner and landlady, which was lovely as a single traveller.She looked after me and chatted - made me feel very welcome. Sad to have booked a table at my hotel as I think Idve liked to have stayed longer and sampled the food. Warm and cosy , typical English pub, log fire !

Outstanding!!!! My family and I had a beautiful roast dinner. It was plentiful, pipping hot and just so taste. My other two members of the family are vegetarian and a vegan they were catered for too. The catering staff were so accommodating nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff were really friendly and the landlady was front of house making sure all the guests were all being taken care of. To top it off they had a live band on late afternoon the atmosphere was fantastic. A great Sunday afternoon out with my family and I am looking forward to returning to The Dukes Head!

We went here for a girls eve and as it has changed hands decided to re try.very quite only us and 1 other family eating. The menu is a4 doubles sided but only 2 dishes for a vegetarian which I couldn't eat due to allergies, u asked if it was cid and chips was told yes to then be told no its haddock. I ended up with egg and chips but was charged for ham and chips nearly £10 for this. Not somewhere I will be re going very disappointing. Staff are friendly enough but on top if you the while time you are there so you feel very rushed. On the whole an expensive disappointment.

Come here regularly the food is always so good. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. There is a lovely family feel to the pub

I bring my little girl here at least twice a month she begs me to take her for “the best spaghetti Bolognese” the food is lovely and the service is brilliant 👌🏼 Foods always been up to scratch 😍

After a year not coming into this pub due to old land lady Julie being so rude plus food went downhill me and my husband thought we would try the pub again with children with new landlord she was very friendly and food was beautiful so just wanted to let old customers know to come bk to pub again xx

amazing place,lovely food and Geoff and Emma and all the staff go out of there way for you are the best!!! Food So good going back in a few weeks found our new restaurant.

We have been users of this place for over 30 years. Seems to have lost its way recently. We ate on a Saturday evening. It was not crowded. Ordered food, cottage pie and a chicken dish. and a pint and vodka. Didnt have the beer it seemed, so had diet coke from the pump. Didnt even get an offer to try the alternative beer, which most places would do, so I had a diet coke. My chicken was over cooked, with vertualy no mashed potato, so little my wife asked where it was as it looked like sauce spreading over the plate. The portion of cottage pie looked like a weight watchers portion with minimal mince . This was warn when served. As this was a meal we have had many times before here , nothing as bad as this though, we registered a comment with the waitress. A lady came to see us and said no one else complains, Her family said they there big portions., She did take the pie from the bill. After subsequent conversations with friends, it is obvious that we are not the only people who feel the service, quantity and value have diminished here. Several said never again unfortunatly. The glowing reveiws dont seem t relect the service myself and friends are receiving lately. Too many pubs closed around here and if the managment or owners dont improve I feel this will be another casualty.

After visiting the dukes head since the new landlords have taken over what a great atmosphere it was everyone in the pub was showing to be enjoying themselves we have been back many times since to watch the live music that is on every 2nd Sunday of the month it serves one of the tastiest home made dinners I’ve ever eaten. I have a very fussy child that eats like a pigeon and the staff could not do enough for her so she didn’t go with out. All in all I would highly recommend this pub/restaurant to anyone who’s looking for quality we have even booked to have our Christmas dinner here. You won’t be disappointed

What can I say but wow! Fantastic food and table service. Everywhere was clean and tidy. The bar staff couldn't have been more friendly. A lovely atmosphere. New owners couldn't be better. Very helpful. I will definitely be back. I cannot recommend this pub highly enough... well worth a visit. They even do entertainment which is in fashion with the clientele.

Had a large family reunion, food and staff were amazing! Nothing was too much trouble, they were friendly and welcoming! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon

I have eaten at the Dukes head on a few occasions since the management change. Great menu selection, delicious food and excellent service.

Had a lovely meal with my family. First time in there for us , friendly staff, good beer Nice spacious beer garden. Will definitely return 👍

My friend and I went to the Dukes Head for dinner for the first time since the management change. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing and prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be returning.

My husband ordered the Steak and Ale pie which was so salty he could not eat it, the owner asked him if he would like an alternative to which he said he would so ordered the Liver and bacon she said this would only take a minute so we waited and waited eventually I gave up and asked for the bill as myself and sister-in-law had both finished ours, they did take the price of the meal off the bill but no apology for the inedible food, so would never go back to this pub again.

Excellent food staff are very friendly, good quantity of food as well,good atmosphere good prices too well done Emma what a great pub you have would defently recommend it.

Sorry to say that this pub is on a downward slope, we we're handed grubby menus that put us on our guard straight away. Had many a good meal in here but the last few have definitely been poor. A new manager now but still the same old menu, please get it sorted and return the food to top quality as it was before.

We called here on the way back from a busy day at legoland. The food was great and all freshly made, the burgers were well seasoned and good quality, the kids meals were all homemade and plentiful. Good service and a nice little beer garden.

This used to be a lovely pub for good home cooked food and service with a smile. We visited recently and unfortunately the atmosphere is not the same, the food quality is still good but the waitresses are awful, very common and keep you waiting for a long time.

Used 'TA' to scout out a decent Pub Roast whilst returning to Devon from London. Lovely Roast, about what you'd expect price wise. Really nothing to criticize or complain about. Quick attentive service, 2 large family groups in, clearly popular with the Locals. Recommended !

Came with my friend, around 1pm and we bought 2 drinks, and sat on the table which was free and without any signage that Is reserved or any other info .. and before we even finished older waitress came to us saying that we need to leave the table as she needs space for customers eating food ... I asked why we should do as the is no reservation, and first of allwithout even checking with us if maybe we will have any food, second she came back couple mins later saying that she needs to set up this table for customers- to be honest I was fuming as we bought our drinks so we are also customers, how rude of her!

I haven’t been to this place for years so my friend suggested we go.

Had lunch here today with an old school friend. Pork belly was not available which would have been my choice. So went for liver and bacon. The liver was not nice, overcooked and tough, brought most of it home for our dog! Had apple crumble for dessert, very different! Didn't notice any actual crumble topping, tasted ok but very soggy. Wouldn't rush back here although the fish and chips they had on the table next to us looked very good.

Visited as a Christmas catch up with friends, won't be 're visiting 3 girls ordered of the Xmas menu but as I'm veggie I didn't and wanted to order on the night. As I sat down a lady asked if our party was complete as it was she went with out asking if I would like a drink, next thing the girls starters arrived I hadn't been given a menu or asked if I wanted a drink when the last starter came the lady said oh haven't you got one I explained I hadn't been asked if I wanted a drink let alone given a menu she just oh let me get you one ,so I just ordered a main ,the mains came very quick after the girls starters with someone watching us waiting for s to finish to rush out puds which I hadn't at had chance to look at.after the meal we were left sitting there for ages then someone came and said had we paid and that our bill had been lost, after a long while eventually the bill came and we paid.the pub was very quite only one other couple eating. We won't be returning to recive the bad service we had on the night.

My wife had roast chicken and she loved every bit of it. The roast potatoes and parnsip were to die for she said.

We have visited this pub/ restaurant may times with friends and this time last Saturday, with an extra delight. We just have to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and entertainment. Elvis was very good and gave a thoroughly enjoyable show. The food was excellent with good portions and such value for money. Nice comfort food ! The waitresses gave brilliant customer service and always with a smile. We will be back !

We went here at lunch time and the starter and main meals were excellent. The food was very well cooked and hot and very tasty. Good portion size. Unfortunately one of the puddings was a real let down and not worth the money. The tiny slice of Apple and Caramel crumble was very small and not worth £4.95. My wife had the sticky toffee pudding which was good value. Yes you can go to Wetherspoons for half the price but this was worth the treat. Waitress was lovely. Will return but will avoid the apple and caramel crumble.

Well priced pub food at this popular establishment on the main road. Have visited here a number of times and have always found the staff friendly and polite. Medium sized carpark

We popped into the Dukes for a Sunday Lunch on Father's Day. The restaurant is very popular and I would recommend ringing in first to make sure you can get a table.

Arrived at the Dukes Head to have lunch. We parked up and were waiting for our other guests to arrive, when right in front of us there was a small motor home that is in residence in the car park. A guy emerged from the motor home and urinated right in front of us and then got back in to the motor home. He is obviously there as part of the Dukes Head as he has his electric connection running from the premises. The thought of him being an employee of this establishment put us off eating there as his hygiene standard is zero. We left and had lunch further down the road. I have this guy on my dash cam, not what should be happening anywhere let alone in a food establishment!!!

Excellent home cooked food at a good price, friendly staff and owners, definitely will be back soon.

Good food reasonably priced. Good choice on the menu without being over complicated. Pleasant staff.

Good old friendly pub, ten of us went for a few drinks and had a few more. But I do wish they had smooth beer. The pub is dog welcome.

Had an evening meal on Saturday which was truly amazing,i ordered the Garlic King Prawns on pepper rice and my partner had the homemade Steak pie,both meals were top quality with lovely service. If you haven't visited the Dukes Head before then get yourself down there as you will not be disappointed.

Went there for lunch today absolutely amazing service and amazing food you can not go wrong for the money will be back very soon!!!

Visited on one of the coldest days of the year (below freezing for several days) and maybe because of that the place was very quiet (on a Friday lunch time). Lunch was OK - Steak pie and chips but not particularly exciting. Service was good.

Have been a few times for food, always recommend. Food is delicious staff welcoming and helpfull. Can't wait to go back.

I went to the dukes head for lunch today with three other friends and i must say that It was a wonderful experience. We got there when it was very busy but we were seated straight away and asked what drinks we would like we received them promptly by the lovely waitress who was very friendly and took our food order .considering it was so busy we didn't wait too long for our food which was amazing everyone was very happy and we all finished our food then the other lovely waitress came and took our plates and took our desert order .fantastic is all i can say.the food in this pub is amazing and the service is out of this world I've been coming for a few years and there is a reason for this the food amazing the staff are always warm and friendly very homely and happy place thank u :)

Great atmosphere, live music and good food. Nice smoking area, just wishing heathers would work more often.

We have been going to the dukes Head for many years but yesterday our family of 8 experienced the worst dining experience ever. Firstly the waitress took 4 of the 8 orders. She got distracted by another waitress and went off and started helping her. After ten minutes she still hadn’t returned and we were not very happy to say the least. I went over to get her and she finally came over after leaving the table fifteen minutes previously to help someone else. Finally ordered. An HOUR went pass and still no food. There was only two other tables of two in and our table of 8......

I have been going to The Dukes Head with friends for over 3 years. During this time we have always...

Very friendly staff and the foods is always good. However the only criticism I do have is it is something...

Popped in on a Sunday and luckily got a table as very busy & most tables had been booked. Not...

The menu is extensive, full of homely gastronomic delights to tempt your taste buds. Lovely food, cooked by Julie the landlady who works hard to offer old fashioned comfort food such as fish and chips, steak and chips as well as higher end if preferred. Deserts include spotty dick and custard and apple pie. What’s not to like?

My partner and I attended a wedding reception here on a Saturday night. We were impressed with the friendly “local” feel and the reasonable prices at the bar. There was live music on the night we attended but unfortunately we had to leave before they started (9pm).

This has to be one of the best kept secrets in the local area. I live a 5 min walk from this pub and didn’t realise that the food was so good.

Best Sunday pub roast for a long long time, friendly staff what more do you want, highly recommend will certainly return with some of our family in the near future.

The chicken special was absolutely delicious. Good value, large portions and nice and hot. Wish I had room to eat more

We had not been to this Pub for a long time, but were very impressed, very well presented, but cosy, attentive staff, and reasonably priced food and a big selection, quite close to home, we will be back,

Although the pub was very busy we had an excellent meal and very attentive waitresses. All good was cooked in premises.

The food was excellent - everything seemed to be cooked on the premises and was served piping hot. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much bother.

Dropped in by chance with our grandchildren on way home from Legoland.Made very welcome and food was freshly prepared & excellent.

Always heard good things about the Dukes Head so when we were invited I jumped at the chance, it's pub that does food, my type of place, it was busy but it was a Friday night so only to be expected, food did take a while to arrive but our lady server was very friendly and did keep popping back apologising for the wait and keeping us informed how much longer we had, I like this it means we have not been forgotten. The food was good, there were 4 of us each having a different dish and I must admit I could have had any of them, they all looked good. I had the steak which was great, fish pie, steak and ale pie and sea bass the others had and all went down very well, a couple of shares between the ladies proved that each dish was as good as the other. We even had puddings which again each of us had different, one would have licked the plate (fudge cake) if she didn't think she was too old for that now. An excellent meal, totally recommended, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Been going to Dukes for years food always good hearty home cooked food from steaks curries burgers chicken many other dishes Deserts always inviting to Do try see what you think

Tried here on a recommendation. My starter and main were both not on the menu anymore and lots of prices were edited with a pen. Could have been a 5 but the wait was a Lil long. Never mind is we had starters and mains while the table next to us got nothing the whole time as their order was forgotten to be sent. Other wise good grub!

Quaint little place with good quality resonably priced food and friendly helpful staff. All round winner

I recently visited this little gem after a trip to legoland with my family. Well what can I say... I spotted this pub on my way through from the m40 and made a mental note as it looked quite welcoming and homely with ample parking. I wasnt disapointed. On my way home, the children and myself were hungry so we decided to stop. We were greeted with welcoming staff who seated us immediatly although they were already buzzing with diners. We were given the menu, which is extensive in choice, shown the specials board and our drink orders were taken and delivered to our table promptly. Shortly after we were asked if we were ready to order, which we were. I had the rib eye steak, my daughter had the chicken breast stuffed with cheese and wraped in parma ham, my som had the gammon steak and my partner had the pork belly. Within 30 minutes of ordering, our food was on the table which considering how busy they were was amazing. The food was brilliant. None of this ready prepared rubbish. It was all fresh, tasty and very generous portions. My steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) the pork belly smelled devine and the crackling was out of this world.. i did pinch a bit off my partners plate. The gammon was absolutely huge and was served with a duck egg, which i was told is an occasional treat. And the chicken breast was beautifil , so my daughter informed me. We were asked how we were enjoying our meals part way through and asked if we wanted our drinks replenishing when the waitresses saw they were getting low. When we finishe our meal we were offered the desert menu. We did take a look bit we were too full. We briefly moved to the garden after just to let our food go down and stretch our legs before setting off home. The garden had ample seating, a wendy house and see saw type thimg for the younger children and beautiful plants to make it look more homely. While we were in the garden, we were greeted by the landlady and their new addition, a bear of a puppy. I think his name was Ben. Such a beauty and so placid.We thouroughly enjoyed our time in the Dukes head and will defiantly be calling in again when we are next in the area.

A group of friends decided to have lunch at The Dukes Head on Friday and were once again disappointed at the length of time it took to provide us with our meals. The food is good value but some of the main courses need to improve before I return.

Hubby and I popped in to this quaint pub for a Sunday afternoon drink after wanting to visit for years. Low beans, large fireplaces (even in the ladies toilets) and a feeling of stepping back into a bygone era. The garden area is attractive and suitable for eating al fresco on a warm, sunny day! The ladies toilets were clean and set out hospitably with a large mirror provided. Staff appeared friendly. Although we didn't eat here this time we looked at the menu to check out prices and what was on offer and decided we would definitely return to this establishment for lunch or dinner in the very near future. In fact my hubby has arranged to go to an event to be held here this Saturday 6th as it's a musical night. So, Dukes Head, we hope to be visiting again and regularly. I recommend a visit, a drink and a bite to eat! Cheers!

Have been going to Dukes for years Meals always fantastic variety of all foods lunch and dinner always ready to please staff friendly owners good as gold Even music on most Saturday nights A must try place

Had a really enjoyable lunch - fish and chips were really well received and the ribs was a very good dish plenty of sauce and lovely chips - thanks

Very good lunch considering kitchen equipment broke down in the middle of service. We will return again at some point.

We enjoyed a very good lunch on Valentines Day. Plenty of choice, food very good, well presented and tasty. Lovely atmosphere and staff very friendly.

Have been visiting this establishment for many years, but until recently only for a drink.Very friendly and jolly service, good pub grub and reasonably prices. On a main road which makes it a popular place.

This is a friendly pub with a good. Varied menu,Staff are helpful,and food good.There were 10 of us,all food was brought out together and was a high standard. I would recommend this as a family place to eat.

Although we live quite locally we never thought about going 'out' for dinner here. When we had family visiting and just wanted to stay local we decided to give it a go and we're glad we did! The food was fantastic, not a complaint between the 8 of us. People noted the variety in the menu meant there was something for everyone. Was slightly put off that they must have had a recent increase I prices and these were just tipexed over the old prices but not on every menu so we could see the before/after prices. That being said we didn't think it was over priced and the food really was great. We stayed for a few drinks after and had a great night!

Have eaten here a few times and never disappointed.A menu with plenty of choices to suit all tastes and all at reasonable prices. Cooked nicely and served hot. Can definitely recommend the pies and burgers are massive. Despite generous portions have to squeeze in a pudding! Good old favourites like knickerbocker glory or the Fred and Ginger cheesecake are our favourites. Well worth a visit for locals or passers by.

This is such an extensive menu, especially for a small pub! The service was good, staff very friendly. The portion sizes were generous (A whole bowl of ketchup and mayo), and they even have a menu for 'smaller appetites'. I was with two people in their 70s and a 103-year-old, so this was perfect. The thing that really stands out though is the chips. On the menu, it said sandwiches came with 'fries' so I was disappointed when big chunky chips came as I don't normally like these. However, my disappointment didn't last long. These were the best chips I've ever had. Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the flavour was heavenly. I'm giving four stars because I had the brownie for dessert and it was absolutely disgusting. It didn't taste like chocolate at all, and was the consistency of a sponge cake. Sad and strange, given the otherwise excellent quality of this pub. Overall, if I lived nearby this would be my go-to pub!

Only recently discovered this gem of a pub so this was my third visit but first time with a group of about 17. Every single one of us was delighted with the food, atmosphere and friendly service. If you want proper, delicious, home-style food, served by lovely people who treat you like they've known you for years, then this is the place to go. Highly recommended.

Been here twice now -comprehensive menu -good food and great staff. Value for money and the best fish pie EVER!

I have been coming to this pub for Sunday lunch for over 18 years now the roast dinner are brilliant this is the best roast in berks and bucks .staff r always friendly helpful the new owner is very nice lady .my children loves the roast as well .every Sunday at 12.00 me husband and children r always in pub enjoying our roast dinner most Sundays u always see the same people eating roasts .but it does get really busy so please booked table so u get in

I meet friends once a month here, it has a great pub grub menu at reasonable prices.Steak and ale pie best ever. Xmas dinner already booked.

Service has been excelent all 3 times Food has been excelent all 3 timesVery friendly, highly recomend itI had the Stilton mushrooms with garlic fantasticI have had the belly pork twice and it's second to noneI had Eton mess fantasticDefinitely worth a visit10/10

We have been here before and it was good but this time it was superb, it was on Halloween so it was busy with people dressed up and they had a Band playing all good but it gets better. The Waitresses work hard and are very pleasant and helpful and serve you in good time. We were a party of four and one of us had Braised steak with Mash and vegetables which was delightful and the remainder of us all had the Rump steak on a sizzling platter, the steak sat on a bed of Onions with 2 x Mushrooms on top all on the sizzling platter and a plate of chips and vegetables served up for you to move your steak onto ive got to say it was exceptional. Desserts to follow and you are spoilt for choice with some real old favourites like Knickerbocker glory, Banana boat, lemon meringue pie to name a few and those we had were all very nice indeed. What a Pub this is it has it all.

Come here quite often,staff are really friendly and the food is good, they have a good menu. They have a garden and seats out the front.

Had an excellent meal in this pub. Very friendly service. Good selection of food and sweets. Will definitely go again.

Staff is friendly and organised.Food is very good but without this "wow".Price is below average which is big "plus", because it is hard to get good burger below £10.

Love this place! Friendly atmosphere, great service and proper food. Come here fairly often and it never disappoints

This Pub is a real nice Pub that happens to serve good home made food and within a real nice pub atmosphere.Parking is reasonable but when busy it can be difficult to park, perhaps it needs to be bigger, People were parking along neighbouring streets which was happening when we arrived.This Pub is so friendly and the food they serve up is very nice indeed and we are told its home made which is quite believable, it arrives hot and served nicely displayed and a good portion size, we had lasagne which was very good indeed and others had Burgers which looked great and Ribs which were very big and tasty. We also had desserts which again did not disappoint they looked home made and not pre packaged. The usual Bar drinks are available aswell has Coffee. Top marks to The Dukes Head we will return.
