The Full Moon in Chiltern

I visited with my wife, my son and my son's partner for Sunday lunch. My wife and son had the roast. I had salmon and my son's partner had a vegetarian option. When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff who were very efficient and brought our drinks orders promptly. Our waitress took the food order very efficiently and we received our lunch in good time. However,it was very average. Quite well cooked but nothing special. I also felt somewhat cramped because they had placed too many tables in too small a place. At times I could hear the conversation of others better than that of my family. We had various desserts but no coffee. Everything was ok but the biggest shock came with the bill. I'm not a stingy person and am more than happy to pay a fair price for a fair meal but this food simply was not worth what we were charged. The bill came to £117 not including a tip. Don't think I'll be returning anytime soon !!! .

lovely easter sunday lunch :) great roasts and good veggie options. and very kind staff. thanks so much !! happy easter 🐣

Fantastic pub with great atmosphere; friendly staff and excellent food. Perfect country pub in a lovely location. Highly recommended

Fab sunday lunch…i had delicious roast chicken with all the trimmings…friendly service, lovely atmosphere…whats not to like?! 👍🏻 👏🏻 😊…will absolutely be going again soon!

Went back to the Full Moon to see what Friday nights were like. We both had fish from the specials menu. The halibut was delicious with skinny fries, after the cocktail pork sausages in mustard as a snack starter. The food was excellent, lovely warm pub with a great atmosphere. The Malbec went very well with our food and we are definitely going back. Great pub to visit on a Friday night after a tough week at work.

Had a fantastic lunch at The Full Moon at - Hawridge this afternoon. Food was incredible, staff are friendly, always greeted with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. We didn’t book a table but managed to get one by the fire. Highly recommend. 10/10

Stopped off on a Sunday afternoon just for drinks. Firstly, drinks are really expensive. Secondly, nobody working there smiled or said please or thank you. Blimey, what a miserable bunch. I'll go to St Leonards next time.

Had a wonderful lunch on Mother’s Day. Mouthwatering, rare, roast beer. Vegetables perfectly cooked. Followed by a delicious dessert of apple & plum crumble - a perfect balance of sweetness & tartness. The service was ‘just so’: meaning perfect! Difficult to define & harder to achieve. But you just know when it is right! Well done!

Such an average roast dinner and the pork a tad over cooked too, which seems to be a common theme on their TA reviews. We weren’t asked how I food was at payment and we weren’t asked during the meal either, shame as they could have not only have gotten another round of drinks out of us, but some genuine feedback too.

Superb Sunday roast and lovely freindly staff, the owners have gone to great lengths to achieve this, very well done to them 10 out of 10

We booked lunch for Mother’s Day. We arrived 30 mins early for our table, and our guests had not arrived. We would have enjoyed a drink at the bar, with nice fire and free seats, but were told we had to go straight to our table. We sat in an empty room for 30 mins feeling that we were missing the ambience. (2 hour drive)When our guests arrived we felt rushed to order rather than greet our guests, which included my 92 year old mother. Food was ok, service was rushed and unfriendly.

You tend to go out for a Sunday roast because it’s easier and yummier than one you cook at home. However, this wasn’t the case sadly this time. The pork was incredibly dry, the beef was chewy, the gravy was watery and the vibe just wasn’t it. It felt incredibly cheap and basic, considering you are paying upwards of £20 for a roast beef dinner (no wonder they keep the roast dinner prices off their website!) Table of 8 and I don’t think any of us will be returning - there’s a lot better for your money (and tastebuds) elsewhere.

We went here for a French themed night, Food was fantastic, the lobster 🦞 Thermidor was better than the one I had recently at Scott’s in London, the beef just fell apart and was full of flavour, and the butter scotch soufflé was the best desert I’ve ever eaten! Great atmosphere with an accordion 🪗 player too. We’ll book again for the Italian night. More of these French nights please, I wanted everything that was on the menu! The food here is always good but tonight it was exceptional. Great service too from the welcoming and friendly staff. One of the best country pubs in the UK!

Warmed up in front of the open fire after a chilly walk. Good coffee and bacon rolls for breakfast, and a friendly welcome from the bar staff.

Went to the Full Moon for Sunday lunch. The rare roast beef was amazing and lots of it, crispy roast potatoes with a large selection of vegetables on the plate. The pub was warm and cosy with a beautiful log fire and the staff couldn’t do enough. If you like red wine try the Malbec which was a good quality, and you can’t say no to the puddings, sticky toffee pudding yum yum, we will definitely be going back.

Beautiful country pub, lovely location, fantastic staff well worth a visit New Year’s Eve night had a fantastic singer who helped make the night special

The pub exudes a regrettable atmosphere due to an unwelcoming manager. Customer service suffers as the manager appears disinterested and overwhelmed, leaving a negative impression. Despite a pleasant group, the pub fails to create a hospitable environment, making it an uninviting choice for those seeking a warm and friendly experience.

Oh dear! Awful (rude) service and awful food. I had heard good things - I think I was lied to. The staff (proprietor?) couldn't have cared less.

We go here every year for our Christmas Doo, food, beer and hospitality all fantastic, they do a great job of keeping the customers happy

Went as a large group for a Christmas lunch - the food and service was fantastic. I was impressive that they could deliver such high class food to a group of 20 . I’ll definitely go back ! The bar looked great with low ceilings...

We had our annual mountain bike club Christmas party and as ever it was the right choice. Will definitely be vack

Went with my daughter and son-in-law for a pre Christmas treat and boy did the chefs provide us with that. From the starters through to desserts all meals were beautifully presented and very very tasty. Menu contains a great choice of each course. The staff...

What a treat ! Attended the pubs Game and Wine tasting evening and it was AMAZING. The food, service and wine were fabulous. For a small country pub they smashed it. I cannot recommend this pub highly enough. Not just for the incredible food but...

Shame to be writing this but after now two dissapointing visits we feel it is only fair to share our experience. My partner came with his two friends and was demanded by an elderly lady with long grey hair not to move a seat from...

Superb, is the only word to describe the Full Moon, our roasts were so good, we will be returning soon

Fantastic as always! Yet another stunning Sunday lunch. Beautiful pink beef 🥩 lovely pork and wonderful sides. Staff super friendly. Wonderful atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough.

This pub is one of our favourite breakfast spots on our regular Saturday morning walks. We are always made to feel welcome, the bacon for the bacon rolls is freshly cooked and the coffee is good. There’s seating in the garden for sunny days, and...

Would have been class except sitting across from Morgan Davies during a Rugby meal. Amazing night and the staff are truly brilliant.

We came on a Saturday evening and sat outside in the garden with our dog. Order at the bar and the staff are really friendly. We both ate the same thing, lamb, as it sounded so good. It certainly did not disappoint. Well worth a...

Absulotely utter disappointed in our experience at this pub. The owner was incredibly rude to us and our service was appalling extremely disappointed as I’ve heard good things about this place.

An ideal spot for a soothing drink at the afternoons end, when the sun is on its descent and you just want to take in the greenery around you, ideally with wonderful company and occasionally glance at hot air balloons in the distance, or listen...

This was our first ever visit to Cholesbury and the Full Moon - we were doing a circular countryside walk in the area, and this lovely pub made for a wonderful halfway-house for drinks. It's in a beautiful position in the Chiltern Hills with the...

Cycled there and arrived late after pedalling against a headwind the whole 40 miles. My friends knew I would be late and were already seated. When I got through the door and towards the table a lovely member of staff asked what I'd like to...

8 of us had a family Sunday lunch and the food was superb. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The service and staff were also wonderful and I would definitely recommend this lovely pub. We will certainly visit again. Thank you!!

Slightly baffled by the last review, perhaps they should take a picnic to DFS or John Lewis furniture department? For any other chair enthusiasts , we had a range of chairs……. mine was leather and very comfortable ( I think that covers the furniture interest?)...

Met up with family at the full moon today to celebrate a birthday lunch. Whilst the food/table service was pleasant the experience was let down by an uncomfortable encounter with a staff member (elderly lady with long grey hair) who rudely told my partner to...

A proper traditional pub. Great menu. A variety to suit all. Not trying to be fancy just keeping it fairly simple, hospitable, friendly and welcoming. They’ve got it right - long may it last. Shall visit again for dinner especially. Sunday lunch was a bit...

Hi Hannah Just wanted to thank you for your hospitality on Saturday for our friends 60th (and letting us stay in our van too.) Great company, great music, great pub, great beer, great staff and a most excellent breakfast - does it get any better..?...

Stopped by having not made a reservation, staff kindly slotted us in. Delicious lunch, roast lamb and all the trimmings and fish and chips, both meals perfectly cooked. For dessert apple berry crumble and sticky toffee pudding, really generous portions . The staff here are...

Lovely, friendly pub with superb customer service. In particular Sarah who served us and was one of the best! Thank you for understanding my Sunday roast request! Will definitely return and recommend to friends. Thank you.

A lovely old pub in the Chilterns. It was busy on the Sunday we visited but we were a large pre-booked group of walkers and our food had been ordered a few days before. Excellent choice of roasts and other dishes (the fish and chips...

Can't rate the pub the service the food and the welcome highly enough. Hannah had kindly taken our booking of 20 at relatively short notice and we had preordered our main courses to help the kitchen. Despite other large groups eating at the same time,...

And the award for worst customer service goes to... this pub! The food was decent but the service is so unwelcoming, cold and actually quite hostile. When my friends and I arrived there were no smiles, conversation or warmth from the staff. The service was...

Just to see if lightning strikes twice and YES it does, I heard that Chef Ed was putting together a Wellington Weekend so how could someone who has graced the tables of some of the most prestigious Restaurants in London miss this one, did you...

The Full moon could not be a more gorgeous looking pub… quintessentially English and traditional.. even on a gloomy wet Autumn day. We had heard good things about it’s Sunday Roast and we weren’t disappointed… absolutely exquisite home style cooking at its finest. We totally...

For a moment I thought I was somewhere else Scott's in Mayfair or letting Gordon cook for me again at Claridges. I normally have the Full Moon roast on a Sunday which is simply delicious and at a great price; however there is a new...

Went to the Full Moon for Sunday Lunch. The roast beef was soft, tender and delicious. My husband tried the venison which was amazing. The wind menu was superb and we followed it with a cheese board, great atmosphere and lovely staff . Great manager...

Absolutely lovely food with friendly staff. It was our first time and will definitely back, we feel like we have found a little gem after today!! Thank you

You know when you try to be polite as you can and it’s not reciprocated. Happen to both my friend and I. I figured give them a break but seen as we both went in separately to order, but no… both of us were left...

Called in for a quick evening snack and a drink. Limited small options so opted for a starter and a side dish from the menu. Ordered sweet potato fries but got french fries. The tiger prawns looked massive but were average taste. The accompanying salad...

Friday is fish night. I had fillet of trout with Pammenter potatoes and green beans. I was absolutely knocked out by it. The fish was cooked to absolute perfection, the potatoes were absolutely delicious and the green beans a perfect addition and again cooked perfectly....

This lovely place has so much going for it, the food was perfect, the staff helpful and friendly, the pub itself is in an idyllic location. Highly recommend.

I've been here 3 times this year already and really love it. Its a great place to meet up with friends whilst enjoying a lovely meal. When the weather is nice the garden is lovely to eat in, there's plenty of space and the staff...

Our first visit to this lovely friendly pub.Great food and service, good gluten free options- can highly recommend GF fish and chips! Enjoyed by the whole family. We will be back

It is an odd one. The pub is a beautiful country pub, in beautiful surroundings. But oddly miserable. I did not see a single member of staff smile, not once, not with customers, not even between themselves. And this gave the place a miserable feel....

Went here today for their May Bank Holiday BBQ and it was lovely. Food was amazing as it normally is especially the pulled pork burger and the service was fantastic- everyone was really lovely, polite and helpful. Quite often go here and the food is...

This is our go to place for Sunday roast. 6th visit now always a great choice, friendly staff, we will defiantly be coming back.

What a fabulous idea bbq bank holiday Monday. Great choice of food cooked to order right in front of you. Great staff great atmosphere fab way to spend a bank holiday

would not visit again. Ignorant and uncivil service, food badly presented, asked for water and received one glass between two, shrieking " music" that could not be turned down or off, uncomfortable furniture, What a shame a nice old pub has been turned into a...

Popped in by chance as was driving past. What a find. Superb walks locally. The food was excellent and the staff were welcoming. Will return

Took my mum here today for Mother’s Day. We both had the roast beef which was cooked to perfection, rare, just as we like it! The portions are a great size and we even squeezed in a dessert, both absolutely stunning. The chef makes everything...

During lockdown, when legally able these guys stayed open and provided hot drinks, breakfasts and even local ales out of plastic containers; simply, they served the local community as a local pub should, so hats off to them. All praise. And now back to near...

I and my family visited for a meal on 27th December. The meal wasn't very good and when we asked for something to be heated up we were met with a rude response from the actual proprietor. The pub was hosting a fox hunt meet...

Good pub for a drink. Food menu is a bit pricey and not encouraging for vegetarians being somewhat limited and only offering one vegetarian main course .. a whole baked onion!,.. Of more concern is the support that the pub offers to a local fox...

Wife and I dropped in for lunch as the place near that we intended to try was full and we had not booked. We had used Full Moon in the past but not under the new owners. We came away very satisfied and impressed and...

Walked here for my wife's birthday and glad we did. Lovely pub serving well-kept Tring beers, and a delicious Pinot (according to my wife) . The steak and ale pie was the best I have had. Lean steak, perfect pastry, and tasty seasonal veg. The...

I visited with four friends for a lunchtime meal. There was a good range of beers, all of which were very good. The menu was limited, but provided enough variety for everyone. The food across the board was excellent - and they make some excellent...

We decided to revisit this pub after a long gap due in part to Covid, and were very disappointed. In the past we were able to enjoy drinks at reasonable prices and snacks like delicious Jacobs Cheeselets, but no more. After being floored by having...

We had our wedding reception at the Full Moon, it was a fantastic venue with very welcoming and friendly staff. We had an informal reception, more of a party in a marquee in one of the outside areas at the pub. Hannah was extremely helpful...

We were meeting old friends for Sunday Lunch, very impressed with the service and variety of dishes available. The roasts are excellent and diverse. The only problem for us was that our seating was on a picnic bench, with no support for backs. Seated in...

We stopped in at the Full Moon after a morning walk for a quick lunch. We both had the Ploughman's and it was excellent, far beyond the normal 'standard' ploughman's that one gets. A delicious small scotch egg and the Ham Terrine were the outstanding...

First time back to the full moon for a very long time, the pub has kept all its lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing, we had a great evening.. Highly recommend 👍

beer .Not sure what they do to the beer but the London pride did not taste like London Pride . Staff . Friendly and attentive Food. Simply unable to deal with allergens. When I asked for any stater that was gluten and dairy free they...

Absolutely amazing meal!! The full moons “Friday Friday” was well worth booking. Delicious lobster and steak, extremely kind staff and great atmosphere!! Definitely coming back. Thank you full moon team!!!

My partner and I are locals and tend to visit the pub every now and again. We rarely go for meals now as the food is expensive and we are both vegetarians and the pub isn’t really vegetarian friendly. At our last 2 visits there...

We were in the marquee which is attached to the pub and is complete with wood burner for the cooler evenings. Very good Covid safe system. Helpful staff, excellent food - we had fish and chips and grilled prawns. Only reason it is not 5*...

We had a lovely school parents night out at The Full Moon Pub . We had pre ordered a cold finger buffet which was delicious, it was such a lovely set up and staff were just amazing! To organise an evening out for a bigger...

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch. Nice and relaxed atmosphere with a lovely view of the windmill. Ordered the beef roast dinner. Vegetables were fresh, colourful and cooked just right. Beef, soft and tasty. Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were nice but not quite as...

Excellent menu with great food in a beautiful surrounding. Someone mentioned the chips, they could have been cooked for a little longer but we’re not bad. The rest of the meals that we ate were exceptional.

Saw cream tea advertised on IG - thought to try it with some girlfriends to celebrate missed birthdays through lockdown. It was really nice. Traditional cups, saucers and teapots. Delicious scones decorated with fresh strawberries, proper clotted cream, individual strawberry jam pots and a glass of Prosecco (extra charge) we felt care had been taken and thought given to make it just right.

We visited lunchtime, Fish had soggy batter, fish underneath was ok, chips not brilliant. Ploughman’s pate was not pleasant and left on the plate. Main course was cleared and that was it, no offer of deserts more drinks or coffee in the end had to...

A great pity that my fish and chip meal was ruined by the pre-cooked warmed up chips. The fish was very good but the chips were dreadful

We are fairly regular visitors to the full moon , love the food , setting and staff . Unfortunately I woke today 1/5/21 and really fancied a cooked breakfast so we headed to the full moon , advertised as doing a full brunch menu from...

Superb food, needed a gluten free choice and there was lots. Staff attentive, friendly and very professional. We took our dog and she even got spoilt by the staff. Highly recommended and we will be going back.

Came here on the first weekend that pubs re-opened and unsurprisingly it was very busy. However, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was spectacular, compliments to the chef. Despite the busy atmosphere, we felt very safe dining here, and all of the...

We visited the Full Moon for lunch. New menu and great safety procedures in place. Felt very safe. The new menu is terrific

A beautiful old building, with lots of nooks and comfortable seating. At present, seating is all outdoors in a really well-organised and ventilated tent as well as outdoor tables, all appropriately spaced. A lovely garden, friendly staff, and superb food, both in quality and presentation....

Had a really lovely time with my friends here had absolutely gorgeous pork belly dish and the staff were super polite and welcoming, definitely recommend!

After what we can all agree on a rubbish year and multiple lockdowns, I was so happy to be able to visit this pub again! The menu has been refreshed and was spoilt for choice! Can’t wait to come back again, felt very safe and...

Its such a nice change for the area to have a different choice for food rather than just the bog standard pub grub! Great service even during these unprecedented times. YES you have to wait for the food a little longer then pre-covid, HOWEVER you...

I can’t recommend this pub more, came here with my family for our first meal out of lockdown to celebrate my dads birthday and we all had an amazing time! The food was so good and SO many options!! It well presented and delicious. The...

First time visiting this pub and loved it. The Full Moon Burger is the best thing on the menu. Great Customer Service and lovely outside area. So great to be back in pub after so long!

I was a solo passer stopping for coffee and spontaneously pulled into The Full Moon. And a full experience it was! I was served by a lovely Gentleman called Ben who made me a lovely coffee accompanied by a gorgeous pastry (much better than Gregs!) Thank you Ben!!!

Came with some friends on Friday night and had a great time. We sat outside in the marquee and though it was freezing and wet the heaters kept us warm! There were well-enforced social distancing precautions, plenty of hand sanitiser, a one-way system, and all...

Fantastic local country pub. We have been been many times with our toddler. - Great food, both pub classics and more inventive dishes. - Ales properly kept and served well. - Good wine and drinks selection. - Family and Toddler friendly. - Great with dogs....

Having felt uncomfortable in a couple of restaurants and pubs lately with slipping standards regarding Covid safety measures, this pub was a shining example of how a safe welcoming pub should be in the current climate. The staff are friendly and welcoming and not afraid to remind people of their obligations for wearing masks when not seated. This is done in an assertive but friendly and caring way with customers and staff’s safety at the forefront of their minds. The food is outstanding, and frequent changes to the menu and the wine list makes for a fabulous experience time and time again. Whilst this pub and its facilities are great in the summer with the outdoor space and fabulous views, to my mind it comes into its own just as much as the nights draw in and the fires are lit and the homely atmosphere just oozes out. The best country pub for many a mile !

What fantastic service. We were supposed to be getting married today and went here for dinner instead (Covid :(). So glad we did - fantastic service, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Thanks for making a disappointing day so much better xx

Went with my wife, son and grandsons. Fabulous country pub with a lovely garden. Really set up well for Covid protection. Excellent staff Well priced Lovely food. Lovely outlook across the common. Excellent in every respect.

Staff were extremely rude. I understand the covid rules have to be adhered to but we were treated appallingly and I would not wish to go back. Big shame as you lost a lot of custom as there was no way I was spending my hard earned money on lunch when treated like we were.

Rude staff with an unprofessional manner . We appreciate the new rules have to be adhered to but we were treated with total disdain and I would not wish to go back. Such a shame as the building and it’s setting are lovely.
