The Five Elms in Aylesbury Vale

We had been recommended to come here so visited on a Sunday lunchtime as a family.Lovely friendly atmosphere and welcome from the staff.We shared a selection of starters and all had roast beef which was simply outstanding.We have had so many mediocre roast dinners out locally and this was a refreshing and memorable change.Beef beautifully cooked,great roast potatoes and gravy and the accompanying vegetables also excellent.We will definitely be back to sample the interesting looking options on the A La Carte menu.These independent places are a total gem and the cookery skills to be commended.Excellent!

Last night we had a truly wonderful meal at this outstanding location. Friendly, welcoming and interesting menu beautifully cooked. Well done

Visited here for my partners birthday and was really impressed by the quality of the food and service. It's unbelievably good value for the calibre of the food and well worth a visit. Will recommend to everyone and already planning to return to experience more of the menu.

We’ve been here before and we were not disappointed going back again. Some bread with the starter would make it 6*

I visited the Five Elms on the evening of 23rd August with my partner as part of a romantic evening. Having read some of the incredible review about this establishment, it absolutely lives up to the hype! For starters we both had the cheese and onion tart. WOW! The fact that it was served cold initially threw me off but it was exquisite! The blend of flavours was fantastic! For the mains we ordered the Cajun chicken and the pork loin. The chicken was life-changing - it was so tender and melted in your mouth the same way that filet mignon does; easily the best chicken I have ever been served in a restaurant. The same can also be said for the pork - it was just to-die-for. The desserts as well were just *chefs kiss*. If you are in Weedon or fancy a romantic date with food and service that won’t disappointed, then The Five Elms will not disappoint ❤️

Lovely staff and and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We had young children and they tried hard to cater for them, which we appreciated. The food is very nice with generous portions. We all had roast dinners. If I had to give one piece of feedback, it would be that I missed crispy roast potatoes, but that just a personal preference. The other thing to be aware of is the children's dinner, which was half the adults size, so still very generous, is expensive for a kids meal; however, we except the quality of the food is very good. Overall, a very good experience and would definitely go back.

Stopped by for a drink, will definitely be back. Nice vibe about the place.

Fantastic lunch. Super cosy pub in a beautiful setting. Staff couldn't have been friendlier. Food couldn't have been tastier. Can't recommend highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fabulous little pub. Great beers, good wines, sensible prices and fabulous food!

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, dog friendly

This place is a gem, booking ahead is highly recommended! Delicious and ever changing menu based on season and local produce.

Fabulous food, drink and service. Premium end of pricing for 2, but well worth the cost.

Outstanding! Food amazing. Perfect. The chef is a culinary genius! Simon and Mel

The food was amazing with fantastic flavours and very well presented. The great selection of drinks and cocktails were all excellent especially the rum old fashioned, spiced margarita and espresso martini!!! We loved the atmosphere and the hosts and services were very welcoming. Great pub feeling and will definitely be back!!

This place is great. The food is truly amazing and the service is fantastic too. You will not be disappointed. We love it.

What an awesome place! We went for dinner on a Friday evening. Such a cosy pub with roaring fire. The welcome and service was first class. Pre-dinner cocktails while we perused the menu after which we went through to our table. Service was well paced. The food was outstanding. A small menu, with every item executed to the highest standard. I'm not normally one for 3 courses but couldn't resist the burrata starter. The treacle rib eye steak was cooked to perfection and the rhubarb and ginger cake dessert rounded off the meal. Love how they support local producers to make everything truly unique. Delicious.

Happen apon the pub by accident this weekend, the food is Michelin star quality and the service is implacable.

Just had THE most amazing Sunday lunch at this gem of a place. Our welcome was warm and friendly. Ambience was cosy and relaxed. Food was simply amazing, great wine menu and good real ale.

Great little village pub with excellent food. I'm already slowly becoming a regular ... Andrew and Amy know how to keep and pour Guinness too, which is an immense added bonus for me. The food, from Chef Tom, is consistently excellent, the wine list is well thought and sensibly priced. Parking can be a challenge but, trust me, it's well worth it.

To celebrate my birthday, we visited this charming village PH. It's a real find. Beautifully cooked meals worthy of a high class rating. Such a friendly, calming atmosphere, what a treat it was, thank you! It's definitely on our list to revisit again, hopefully on a dry and sunny day. (Booking is a must and parking is cramped at the PH though on-street parking is allowed without restriction.)

Could not ask for a more welcoming and beautiful traditional Pub fantastic staff great food and just a great experience

How many times do you eat out between Christmas and New Year and wish you hadn’t? Not here. The Five Elms - a pub I frequent occasionally - is in a class of its own in Bucks by offering a standard of astonishingly good food and superb hospitality all year round. A treat time after time. Thank you Andrew, Tom and Amy.

Top venue as I was meeting a friend. Warm welcome and amazing food without being pretentious. I wish I lived nearer. I want your venison every week! Thanks for a lovely night.

Oh my goodness what a treat! Went with friends we arrived a little late but wasn't a problem at all. Staff are so friendly and polite made us very welcome. The food was delicious! Tastes we hadn't experienced before! Yes it was a little expensive but worth every penny. Would definitely return for a special occasion.

Beautiful location with a great little bar

My husband and I came here on Saturday night. We had a warm welcome from the moment we stepped inside. The food and service was amazing, I'm just gutted we hadn't come here sooner! We will be back keep up the good work. I would say its better than some Michelin star restaurants we've been to.

Have been meaning to try the Five Elms for so long and finally went for Saturday lunch, this place is a little gem. Great atmosphere in a beautiful country pub and Andrew was very welcoming. We all had the set lunch menu and the food was absolutely delicious. We couldnt fault a thing. The presentation was fab and my sea bream was cooked to perfection and the pumkin veloute with goats cheese starter was fab too. Cant wait to return.

So pleased we chose to eat here during our time in Aylesbury. We had a lovely warm welcome to this traditional village pub and enjoyed a pre-dinner drink by the log fire in the bar. Dinner was outstanding - every mouthful was delicious and we both even had dessert - which is something we rarely do. I can't praise this place enough - just wish we lived closer.

The food here is exceptional and I enjoy the fact that the menu changes often. There is always something new to explore. We visited this time with friends, who had not been before and they were blown away. A comfy cozy little pub, with the fire to warm on an autumnal day.

What a brilliant place. The food was top quality, the service was excellent and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit!

This place is a gem. Amazing seasonal menu. Wonderful staff. The wine list to ticks all the boxes. A country pub which delivers on every level.

My partner booked this for a birthday lunch, he nailed it! The food and service amazing highly recommended

A wonderful dining experience! Book well ahead to eat at this small country pub with an exquisite menu that is served efficiently in delightful surroundings.

One of the best pubs in the area. Wonderful staff and the food is incredible!!!

Fantastic from start to finish. Lovely warm welcome & great to see the open fire & log burner roaring! We been here a few times now and always impressed with the delicious food & generally warm feel about the place. Today we tried the roast lunch....11 out of 10, the best roast dinner we have ever had! You know a country pub is serving the right food when everyone in the bar area is talking about the amazing food, especially some of the starters on the current menu.

Oh my goodness what an amazing meal! I am the fussiest eater and I totally trust everything Tom cooks. I don’t need to see the menu, it’s all amazing! From the minute we walk in, Andrew and Amy are the dream team (Joe you are awesome too) we had the most fabulous Saturday evening - thank you. Ps how the heck does ice cream actually taste like croissants??!!

Great value for the October meal. Wine included, four courses, exceptional food all for £44 a head. Can't beat it.

An out of the way country pub, not cheap but very civilised. Parking appears limited but you can park in the very quiet High St 30 yards away.

What a lovely little place! We had an amazing dinner at this picturesque little pub. I’m vegetarian and I’ve never had such a subtly delicious lentil dish as I had here. I’m used to mediocre restaurant vegetarian meals so this was truly a revelation. The other members of our party had fish which I’m told was also delicious. The food was beautifully presented, the service was faultless and friendly and the atmosphere cozy. Altogether a super evening.

Didn't have food just a drink first visit had a job to park need a car park just trying pubs in lots of places we live near cotten wheel dont like that one to nosey for us lol

Having recently changed hands, this was our first visit and we can thoroughly recommend the new menu and restaurant. Andrew is a wonderful host and the food was delicious. A really lovely experience. P.S. I can confirm that on my second visit the meal was, if anything, even better!

We had a lovely lunch here, with quite a few different dishes to sample on the menu. Good service and reasonable prices.

Cosy and nice pub with great food!

We had Sunday Lunch with four friends yesterday and it was perfect. Each meal was totally delicious and the service just right. We will return.

We went for dinner last minute, having not visited for last five years. New owners and chef……faultless, what else can I say. From front of house, service and exceptional food…..I have never before got straight back from somewhere and felt compelled to write a review. It was a 10/10 meal….no faults….and I’m picky!! Not cheap, but worth every penny. Great wine list, lovely choice of dishes and all cooked to perfection. Well done boys…will be back soon!!!

Found the 5Elms by chance - what a gem! Superb food , excellent friendly service - wish we lived nearer, we would be here regularly. Anne

Thank you so much for amazing time in your restaurant for my husband 40th birthday. 5* from all of us and we will be back again.

Very happy with the service, amazing food and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning to this fab establishment. Top marks

Totally AMAZING pub, the food was Incredible and the BEST thing we have tasted for a long time....The owners, one front of house and one in the kitchen works they have definitely got it right they were so friendly and very welcoming with outstanding service.. a 100% must try. We shall be coming back and we will be recommending to all our friends. I had the Burrata and Lamb and my partner had the dressed crab and also the Lamb. Thank you so much Guys for making our taste buds and tummies happy.

Amazing pub, fantastic service and delicious food. Couldn’t ask for more!

Excellent food, great flavours and well presented. The menu is small in choice but changes every two weeks. Service is very professional, friendly and welcoming, busy but time to chat. Anyone who is looking for something different and not the usual generic food that is served in many restaurants, book a table here

Booked this place on a whim, after coming to visit the Chiltern Hills for the weekend. So glad we did! This is the exact type of pub food you dream of when going around these smaller towns. Plus, they have some lovely cocktails! We had a Palermo. Staff were all super friendly. Honestly, 10/10 on all fronts.

Fantastic experience for the second time now. Great food and fantastic service. Very friendly atmosphere. Keep it up. Fabulous Sunday roast and stunning fish dish. Desserts are refined and precise. Relaxed atmosphere with the perfect balance of classic dishes executed to fine dining standards.

Lovely quaint country pub, came here after a long walk and it was the perfect stop!

Gorgeous small village pub in awarded Buckinghamshire’s Best Kept Village. Very welcoming with friendly staff and good drink selection.

Outstanding. Fabulous remote country pub in a glorious village. But the crowning glory was the roast beef. The BEST I have ever eaten.

Beautiful village, charming pub, welcoming people and tasty food. Definitely recommend

From the moment you arrive in this little village, you're in for a surprise. Park up, have a stroll around and admire the quaint beauty of the traditional thatched cottages. The views over Aylesbury vale and surrounding countryside are magnificant. One can see right the way across to Waddesdon Manor, as well as surrounding villages, including the Claydons When you've finally worked up that thirst, be prepared for the "wow factor" as you step inside this oldy worldy traditional English ale-house. Low ceilings and decor fitting of the old style exude a character and warmth that makes you want to stay. The food is just another gastronomic delight, and all presented by the friendliest of staff. So stop by, and you wont be disappointed.

It is a wonderful place, a lovely atmosphere and amazing food , thank you for another amazing experience to all staff

Excellent food excellent service lovely bar space definitely coming back A little jem

One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Wonderful salmon confit for starter , followed with roasted cod. Fine dining in a relaxed beautiful old pub, with chilled ambience. Can’t wait to go back

Really amazing food and great service. Such a warm welcome from lovely staff and even a bowl of water brought for our dog! If you're considering visiting the Five Elms, do yourself a favour and book!

The food was amazing! We had a Sunday roast and can honestly say it’s the best gravy ever, it’s not just about the meat, the vegetables are not a side show - nothing is. So much care and attention to each element of the dish....

For our anniversary we decided to try a restaurant that we used to frequent but haven’t since new owners took over. We were bowled over by the excellent service and interesting menu. I had the British peas with bone marrow, whipped goats cheese and Dorset...

Absolutely love the place m, food is simply amazing superb service the food is a Michelin star class. The drinks also is absolutely right and the ambience is cozy and friendly. Thanks for making our day it’s our first time and won’t be the last

Absolutely delicious food with great GF options and lovely wine

We had a lovely family meal here. Food excellent. Service very good. Staff friendly and accommodating.

Excellent pub, the roast is consistently great with some of the best dry aged beef! Friendly service and even gave us a Mother’s Day goodie bag!

The Sunday lunch was delicious! But the other essential ingredients were the very pleasant bar staff, the pub’s location and the decor. All rounded off with a very reasonable price - yes I would recommend 👍

Small and intimate dining area in a beautiful village pub. Friendly and quick service. Super food and would highly recommend.

Little gem! We loved this place. Its small but fantastic. Warmly welcomed by the owner and front of house staff. We were made to feel welcome and looked after throughout our visit. The food was delicious! Plenty of drink options. We will definitely be back for more. I suggest following on fb as they change their menu often to keep things fresh.

What a gem! Had dinner here last week and both the food and service were outstanding. All the dishes were of exceptional quality, but the fancy chocolate dessert (can't remember it's name) gets a special mention because that was the stuff dreams are made of! Thank you all for a great night :)

Ate here for the second time now and both occasions were faultless! Beautiful, delicious food & wine. Staff are very attentive & we will definitely be dining there many more times to come.

A gem off the beaten track. Limited menu, but good victuals

We had the 3 course menus, started with the trout, beautiful, followed by beef cheek that just melted in our mouths, finished off by local cheese, chutney and biscuits. If you’re visiting waddesdon manor, like us, this pub is a must to visit for lunch...

Could not fault the service or the food. Food served quick and presented beautifully. Service was friendly and attentive.

I’ve come here following recommendations from friends, but I can honestly say this was the best meal I’ve ever had. Every bite was just simply outstanding and we really do compliment the Chef! I’d recommend to everyone!

Hands down the best food we have ever eaten. Felt like a judge in the Masterchef final. Incredible. Friendly staff and lovely venue and setting. Recommend from the hilltops.

Found this on Tripadvisor and decided to try it out, We weren’t disappointed in any way. The welcome was warm and friendly. We were soon involved in conversation with local people and made very welcome. We ordered dinner and the food was marvellous.

What a find. Tucked away in Weedon on the outskirts of Aylesbury the Five Elms is a quaint pub with low beams and flagstone floors. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and nothing is too much trouble. The menu on the night...

This wonderful village pub is under new management following a period of nearly 14 years of a couple who’d done an amazing job. If that’s a hard act to follow, Andrew and Tom have made easy work of it. Andrew is a natural host -...
