The Full Moon in Chiltern

Last minute pop-in for a Thursday dinner with Mrs G, who is coeliac. We know the pub caters well for coeliacs and were very grateful to have all Gluten Free (gf) choices highlighted by the v helpful staff. Lots on offer but just had to plump for Fish & Chips. Crispy gf batter, proper fat chips, even well-cooked peas and all piping hot. V good, homemade tartar sauce on the side….it was all delicious and just what we needed. 3 bonuses - alcohol-free beers/cider, also got to try ‘frickles’ with spicy mayo (if you’re a pickle fan, you need these!) and saw lovely local friends and their dog. All in all a perfect early evening outing. Very clear it’s popular and we’ll be back for Le Petit Bistro in November. Well done all at The Full Moon, front and back of house. Great to have somewhere so welcome, reliable and good value locally.

On a cool October evening four of us went to the Full Moon for the first time as it's close to my wife's sister's home. It was busy (Friday busy) and was pretty crowded. But the service was first class as was the food. Two starters, four main courses and three puddings were all superb. And the bill was reasonable considering the high standards. We will be going again. Great evening.

Amazing Pub it was a really nice experience, staff were so lovely great service, Food as-well was so nice I mean just astonishing now had Lunch and Dinner here, just amazed and definitely recommend best Pub in the area.

An excellent pub, very well run. Food is good quality and usually Rebellion IPA is available plus one other local beer. Always have a good meal in there. Good garden and a canopy for rainy weather. Would love it if the Korean chicken thigh burger came back on the menu

We have been visiting this place all summer since we moved into the village. Last night was the first time we had a sit down meal. The atmosphere is really cosy with candlelight and music. The food was amazing quality and very reasonable price. I had fish and chips £17 I would highly recommend this place, it's a beautiful traditional old building in a quiet village. Big beer garden with large heated covered area for cosy winter evenings or summer days. We look forward to going back 😊

Wow! I just had to write to say about the wonderful party food provided for my friend's birthday party at this lovely old pub. The chef did an amazing job - a hot buffet for 30 or so people. The food was really tasty with so much variety and everyone went back for seconds. Some of the food provided was: giant burgers in a bun (halved as they were so big), chicken wings, breaded chicken bites, pork ribs that just fell off the bone, Calamari, cooked to perfection, gorgeous fat chips and new potatoes, salads and slaws. I am sure I have forgotten stuff. We had the tables outside, under the open marquee and were kept warm by the overhead heaters when the strength of the sun started to diminish.

We go to the Full Moon fairly often and always enjoy good food and service, however the staff there outshone themselves when my mislaid wallet with debit card, driving licence and cash was placed behind the bar for me to collect. Thank you very much indeed.

We went here with my mother in law for Sunday roast it was our first time l didn't enjoy roast potatoes as they were too salty also could not eat Yorkshire pudding as they tasted of washing up liquid like the cooking tray needed to be rinsed properly.

The food was lovely the staff where very helpful the only problem was they had run out of some drinks,

Food: there was no food, on a Friday night. Incredible. Service: lovely staff, only issue they have is their reluctance to have a good sniff of the bogs. Atmosphere: the atmosphere was entirely urine gas, possible war crimes commited upon my nose. Stankest bogs I've ever smelt in my life, a literal assault on my face. Even my drink had hints of slash. Edit to respond to owner: absolutely 1000% sure I was in your pub, I left the review off the name on your sign out front. Definitely the right pub, and I think you may need to check with your staff as someone's telling porkies if you think every night has had food !

The Full Moon, what a surprise visit. Firstly big shout out to Amy and George behind the bar. Tuesday is Steak night, it's a busy one. Despite my best efforts to throw off the chef after my starter and asking for an adtional 5 minutes on a medium steak. It came out perfect. The pepper corn sauce was full of pepper corns. I want to believe it's fresh, it tasted fresh and creamy. Touch of thyme and fresh garlic on the mushroom, rocket and parmesan cheese had feel of Italian restaurant. This place is heaving, plenty of atmosphere and it's a Tuesday. I'm so impressed. Again a massive shout out to not only the chef that was banging out great food while I was sat at the bar, but to Amy and George that were spinning around doing drinks and service like a Covent Garden bar on Saturday. Book a table, take a breath and enjoy.

Lovely little pub - well worth a visit

We popped in for a quick drink. Met the owner. What a lovely gentleman. The pub is lovely and has a fantastic outdoor area with a kids play area. Near by is another park great to play football in. The ribs 👀 - I will be coming back for this!

Great local proper pub, not a ‘gastro’ wannabe! Dogs and muddy boots welcome! Friendly bar and good food. Tap water always available as opposed to expensive mineral water! Garden area upgraded tastefully. Bran, Petra and the staff very welcoming

Our local pub and one that we always enjoy visiting!

Wonderful home-made dishes, of a high standard.

Great pub, friendly atmosphere and the food is fabulous. I had grilled salmon and my husband had the bass - they always have fish on the menu as well as lots of different options. All great value and large portions too!

A really quaint place with a really nice interior Food menu is very good and the food is really well done. Service is very good. Parking is good with plenty of spaces

Went there today 27.05.2024 anniversary lunch with father in law daughter and her boyfriend. Could not fault it! Food fantastic atmosphere amazing and service wonderful. Definatly reccomend and looking forward to going again. Seabass beautiful and lamb was amazing. Enjoyed everything we ate.

They charge £4 for tap water! We were having a meal and other drinks also so the excuse that we were taking up a table with just water so they had to charge doesn't fly. Staff were great and friendly though. Food was good but hugely over priced. I understand businesses are having to charge more to cover costs but it is not worth it for what you get. A shame as it is a nice pub.

Great food, best restaurant roast for a long while.

The Full Moon where to start you can tell this place is full of love and care the workers are kind and caring and welcome all customers in

We stopped in on our way back from a day out with friends. We were very satisfied with the menu and the friendly service, it looks like it is quite a nice local the people around were relaxed. I've made a note of it's location as I would visit again if the opportunity is there.

Think it’s absolutely disgusting that a children’s area has no fence and kids can walk straight onto the road Plus we phoned up to check they had roast dinner on the menu to turn up to be told none available very poor service!! Also £19 for ceaser salad with chicken is a rip off ..

Judge a pub by how often you visit. After having a simple lunch in here with a friend, I have now been the last 4 weekends in a row. Great to park up, walk the dog then finish with a Sunday roast. The small plates are amazing but for me it's the staff!! You can tell this is family run, everyone cares!! The food is amazing, the choice of beers too, just brilliant. Now my favourite pub in the area. We live 35 minutes away and it's so well worth the drive!! Just brilliant.

A great real British Pub. Last time I was here was nearly 20 years ago. It may have changed hands and gotten a little older but it still has that authentic British Pu feel. Amazing👏👏

A party of 11 for lunch today. Overall a lovely family gathering. Food could have been warmer but I assume chef waited to serve all 11 dishes together. One negative was the cream on the Eton Mess was off, it smelt of cheese and tasted bad. When it was returned we heard the chef tell the waitress "it wasn't off but served with the same spoon that was used for the cheese". That was an even worse scenario. He must have read the food safety regulations.

I always bring friends and family from Italy to enjoy a traditional Sunday roast at The Full Moon. It never disappoints me. Fantastic

Great place to socialise and have a drink.

Very pleasant pub with the welcoming feel of a local and good food.

Really nice, however London prices...

Really great food and amazing service. We went for lunch. Having a wood burner makes the atmosphere amazing and keeps you nice and toasty.

Enraged by the removal of frickles from the menu. Decent pub though, bring the frickles back and it’s 4 stars Update: I'm a man of my word, the frickles have returned. You have yourselves 5 stars

The real ale choices are a little uninspiring. 3 traditional bitters. Could do with a lighter hoppy beer and maybe a darker one.

Absolutely wonderful. My mum doesn’t eat much and demolished her samurai beef fillet dish with truffle chips. I had the chicken burger which was huge and delicious, so much better than other local restaurants nearby that I have visited over the summer for a chicken burger. Great garden space, plenty of shade but sun if you want it. Kids and dog friendly too which is a game changer. Keep up the awesome work staff at The Full Moon. We will be back :-)

Third visit for Sunday lunch. Would definitely recommend.

Ok, it is true: I am no longer a teenager, or even a 20 something. So when I write that I just had the bestest ever Sunday roast take it that I write from experience! Bestest-Everest-Sunday roast! We each had the trio of roast with the cauliflower cheese. Superb! So back to basics: - easy to find the Pub: it is called Sat Nav. - plenty of on premises or nearby parking. - spotlessly clean. - friendly & competent staff! - competitive prices - great drinks & wine Bottom line: go to the Pub; go now! You are welcome!

Went last Saturday with a group of friends. We didn’t have a reservation but Amy the manager welcomed us and gave us fantastic service all evening and helped with recommending some of the dishes. The food was phenomenal..I had the smoked chicken thigh which was cooked to perfection. All of our food was absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to come back and try some more of the menu! Thank you!.

Lovely people. Handy children's playground. Nice food

Lovely place to go with the kids, food was lovely, service was great! Amy the manager who served us was amazing! Will definitely go again

Spur of the moment visit of 4 for lunch. Service was excellent. 1 young lady running the front of house and she was really good. The food was really good, fresh, tasty,well presented and with no complaints. The atmosphere was that of an old English pub. Just right. 5 stars.

Good food and drinks, lovely staff

Had a decent Saturday evening meal washed down with good beer and friendly service. A pleasant place to spend an evening

Nice quiet countryside location, everyone was very happy with their food. Just the heavy going ballad pop covers music was a bit weird for the environment.

I was visiting friends who brought me to this lovely country pub. The staff were very friendly and professional. The food was delicious. The gardens are ideal for families with a play area. Would love yo visit on a sunny day and dine outside.

Very nice place, good place for family's as it has a play area

Avoid, aggressive pub landlord who mistreats and verbally assaults disabled adults. If you care about humanity don’t support this restaurant

A well appointed popular local pub in Little Kingshill. The only one that's survived which speaks for itself.

Our favourite pub and restuarant in our area!

Great food and fun atmosphere We went and sat in the garden and I had the most amazing steak sandwich with a fresh herb dressing. It really was stunning! The children had children’s meal which were plenty big enough and I love the option of having veg sticks instead of traditional hot veg. I have seen there are a few comments about service. The whole industry is suffering with not enough staff to employ. Please give the staff a break. We didn’t go when it was hugely busy, the service was great. We are lucky to have a good local pub. Independently run. Well done guys it was excellent. My only wish is if the kitchen was open a tiny bit earlier for children’s meals. However I know this isn’t as simple as it sounds. Thanks for a great visit.

Really nice pub and garden. Food quite nice. Our only complaint was ambience was ruined with loud unrelaxing music. We went for a meal and chat but struggled with noise.

Been going here for many many years, always used to be favourite, especially for the steak sandwich, which myself and brother love. But went recently and wasn’t impressed at all. Took well over an hour to get food, forgot our starter and the changed menu didn’t think too highly of and the new ‘open steak sandwich’ wasn’t to my taste or anyone else. Might have to find somewhere else next time. Very disappointing.

Great staff goes the extra mile. Good beer 🍻

Great little pub that felt like you were in the middle of nowhere

Bang on felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, plenty of bar staff 👍🏼

If you're ever in Great Missenden then the Hare is a great place for a drink and food. We were there on a Sunday and the roast was great, decent portion size and tasted great. The staff were nice and friendly and the pub is dog friendly was a plus for us.

Proper pub, great beer selection

Took a pleasant hours walk here for lunch yesterday. Went to order food at the bar and was told no more orders were being taken because they couldn’t cope in the kitchen with the orders they already had! Come on guys, it’s an Easter weekend for goodness sake, where is the planning and organisation, the two young girls working there had no training in customer service skills whatsoever. Finished our drinks then walked home for cheese and biscuits! Not what it used to be, very disappointing.

Classic pub with a good selection of ales

6 of our family enjoyed a very good Sunday lunch today. Two of us had the three-meat roast which was very good indeed and well worth the £19, another had roast beef which was excellent and another had veggies and Yorkshire pudding. The children were well looked after. Service was a bit slow, but we had lots of time and it didn't matter. Nice old country pub with ample parking.

Excellent friendly landlord engaged with local residents and visitors. Good beer and food. One of my favourite pubs

Lovely local pub, food excellent. They fed a group of 10. Parking is limited, but there is plenty of space along the road outside. Everyone loved the food, atmosphere, and service. We will definately be back again.

Great pub, great atmosphere, great staff and great food

Very nice traditional style pub. Lovely Sunday roast. I had the veggie roast. More expensive than advertised on their website but worth every penny.

Great place to eat and catered for a big gathering. Thanks

Lovely, friendly and cosy traditional pub with great garden.

Lovely pub, been many times but sadly on this occasion very under staffed and the service was terrible. Waited 20 minutes for a drink at the bar and just left in the end

Visited this pub and pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hot food, which is more gastro than pub. Tasty food, great choice of drinks, with staff that are courteous & polite. A real hidden gem with the bonus of a decent car park and good sized outdoor area.

Absolutely awful Sunday lunch. Whole dinner was so dry had to ask for extra gravy. My daughter had chicken and they brought out 3 chicken drumsticks when I asked if that’s how they normally serve the chicken they just said yes. All the meat was so dry and my husbands was mainly fat. The roast potatoes were to dry and over cooked there was no potato just crust ( I think we probably had about 1 potato each). I did mention that the food was poor and the staff just said “I’ll let them know”. I will definitely not be returning

Scampi game was strong 🍤 Mulled wine good, and served in mugs 🍵 Radiator hot🔥 #_haiku_review

Nice interior and really nice staff, but the food is atrocious.

Lovely friendly pub. Nice garden

Great traditional pub and good food

Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere

Always great food. Vastly better than any of the chain pubs, cracking pint,cracking service.

The Full Moon is my Mum and I’s favourite pub in the area. Subdued dining area inside and a large garden if the weather is nice. Staff are always friendly and professional. Prices are good value for decent quality food with a varied menu. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely traditional pub. Sunday roast delicious and good value. Staff friendly and efficient. We will go back for more. Garden looked good too.

Lovely country pub with delicious food.

Quaint place, really good food. Really friendly bar staff. Had a very pleasant evening and would recommend a visit

A great pub for a traditional Sunday lunch We are as a family for a birthday dinner and really enjoyed the lunch, along with nice choices of wine and beer. There is a small climbing frame for children, nice gardens and a chicken hutch which kept the children entertained for longer than usual! The trio of ice cream desert and the Eaton mess were nice treats for desert too. We will return

Good service, friendly efficient staff and a welcome to all (including children). There's a lovely atmosphere in this comfortable village pub which serves excellent home cooked food at reasonable prices. We'll be back!

Staff very friendly. Food excellent Would recommend

We love this pub. Friendly bar staff, good food. A proper pub 😊

This is a fantastic pub but caught them on a busy day and the service was lacking, mostly because they were under staffed for the load.

If you want to get an idea of ​​this pub, go to google.com. There is quite a harsh criticism on tripadvisor. There are better and worse pubs in the area, but don't compare home cooking with polecat semi-finished products

We had a gathering of 60 for my sons christening and the staff were brilliant. Very friendly-excellent food and attentive to our requests. Great place to be in the sunshine.

Very nice pub, nice friendly staff.

Lovely dinner here yesterday.Three of us had the squid starter with some frickles and parmesan fries and then onto a burger, scampi and fish and chips. All delicious and very fresh tasting. Delightful friendly service. Sat outside on a balmy evening and then moved inside when it started to drizzle. Peaceful location and charmingly decorated pub! Thanks so much.

Unremarkable building from the outside houses a remarkable pub inside. Great fish and chips. Exquisite collection of horse harness brass buckles. This is a museum with great food

Went for lunch with my grandkids. Service was awful. Waited ages for 3 sandwiches despite chasing at the bar. They were really substandard doorsteps, dry stale packet white bread, ham half inch thick. No cutlery served.

Great pub food and atmosphere. Will go back for goats cheese tarts!

Gone downhill… we used to visit from time to time because the food was decent and they had a play area for the kids. Todays visit will be our last; broken glass on the ground outside, cigarette ash from the night before on the tables, playground so old, falling apart and no upkeep. No hand soap in either ladies or gents loos. On our previous visit I stepped in dog poo in the beer garden. I wish I hadn’t gone back today. Someone was changing their baby’s soiled nappy on a table outside. Horrendous really!

Great beer, great food and great staff.

Delicious generous hot and tasty roast lamb lunch on Easter Sunday

14.04.2022 Came to the full moon for a meal on my partners birthday and WhT a meal it was. Best food we’ve eaten in a long time. The pork were amazing. We come here often for drinks in the garden and now and then for a meal and it’s always pleasing and brilliant food. If I could give more stars I would but 5 is the maximum. Thanks to the full moon for a fab meal.

Good beer, good bar staff, plenty of outside seating. A nice local pub 👍

Great pub. When I've been here it's been for the Sunday roast. Always been good and my guests have enjoyed it too. Easy parking and nice garden for the summer 🌞🌞🌞

A lot of noisy, inconsiderate people frequent this pub.

Great pub. Log burner welcomed us into this lovely place. Staff very friendly. Good excellent. Well worth a visit.

Lovely traditional pub with very good lunch menu.
