Probably the best Sunday lunch that I have had in many a year. Meat was excellent (cooked in 2 ways) and the vegetables were also delightfully cooked with evident effort to provide a range of very clear tastes. Well served too by the staff!

This was our first visit , and we’re already planning our next one! Before we even stepped inside, we were warmly greeted and welcomed. My husband was recovering from recent surgery ( which I had mentioned when confirming our booking), and a suitable table was prepared for us, with cushions to enable him to sit comfortably. This attention to detail was much appreciated. The young, friendly staff were extremely knowledgeable when discussing drinks, and especially cocktails. We were there for Sunday lunch, and although the restaurant was very busy, the service was impeccable, the food delicious, and at no time did we feel rushed . A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Ate here as a family of 6 as we were in Old Amersham and was going to visit a coffee shop. The service was excellent and attentive. We all had the varying roasts which although at £27-28 is more on the expensive side the sides tasted absolutely gorgeous. Would say this restaurant is more of a treat. Thanks for the wonderful service. We also loved the decor and seating.

Have visited several times now with my husband and again with friends. Both food and service are exceptional. Welcomed by charming staff who communicate well and appear always available and ready to assist. Sunday lunch in particular is great with an unusual twist on vegetables which elevates from the usual Sunday fare. Gorgeous interior design/artwork and lovely ambience. Always made to feel very welcome whilst waiting for my usually late friends. Local residents are very lucky to have the Griffin on their doorstep.

I had lunch with a friend and we both had the smoked beef burger, which is not generous given that burger ingredients are in themselves not expensive...... The burgers each came on a tea-plate sized plate with a minuscule bowl of shoestring fries on the side with a small portion of mayonnaise, when the waitress brought the burger over we locked eyes and had a bit of an 'is that it?' moment. I couldn't taste any smoke on the burger and the patty itself was small and not very thick, everything was rather under-seasoned, on reflection they seem to have taken portion control to the ultimate degree which leaves you feeling like the point has been missed. The problem is that the Griffin presents itself as rather upmarket and many of the other options on the lunch menu are quite pretentious, if you are going to do a premium burger you have to do it properly, at one point I felt like checking the menu to see if they had left something off by mistake.

We had a fantastic lunch at The Griffin with delicious, well considered flavour combinations as well as warm and personable service. We had seen the lunch set menu online and they honoured this despite having stopped offering this on Saturdays a couple of weeks ago. The maitre d’ was excellent; perfectly balancing attentive service with knowledge of the menu and humour. Overall, we had a lovely leisurely meal and would happily return.

We went for valentines. The food tasted lovely but we were given a tiny amount for what we paid. We had a valentines meal there last year and had a wonderful meal so we were dissapointed by the small portions this year. It wasn’t a cheap meal. Such a shame as the place has a lovely atmosphere

Had an amazing dinner here after trying to find a table in Amersham on a Saturday night, they managed to squeeze us in at 6pm. We were absolutely blown away by the food, not expecting very much we were overwhelmed by the flavours and carefully balanced dishes that arrived, smoked trout and sea bream to start, followed by chicken kiev and halibut, the food was so good I ordered a desert (which doesn't happen often) and had the rhubarb and dark chocolate crumble. Staff were brilliant as was the wine selection. I would make a special trip to come back here and hope to do so soon - thank you Griffin for a great unexpected food experience

A friendly welcome. Ambience was nice - busy but not noisy, happy atmosphere, good background music. Lamb & beef. Two different cuts for each meat. Well-cooked, a little pink as both should be, tender & juicy meats. Veg cooked just right, tasty Hispi cabbage. Roast potatoes were phenomenal - very crispy with fluffy potato inside, skins not greasy or soft. Light & crispy Yorkshire pudding. I asked for the gravy to be served separately. Good easy-drinking carafe of red house wine (bit steep at £22?) Puds - sticky toffee pudding and choc sundae both very light, pleasing! What’s not to like?!

Behind an old facade lies a buzzing bar and restaurant that I had been wanting to visit for some time. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the ambience was just fine but the well cooked food was disappointing. Starters were fine, although the broth was too spicy, but the main course left three of us wishing we had chosen something else. The food combinations are different, the ducks leg was ok, but too big, the monkfish tail was ordinary and the thyme Kiev was not as good as one stuffed with garlic butter. We are back there soon and will choose more carefully. The restaurant deserves to thrive but I think the menu needs some thought.

Firstly the five stars are for the service, food and ambiance once we were sat at our table. The initial impression was sadly lacking. No meet and greet, no welcome .We entered via a small bar which seemed to be the reception. There was a group being served drinks in the corner and another group who said they were waiting. Eventually we were asked whether we had a reservation and were told our table was not quite ready. Not a problem except we were left to just ….wait, we could have been asked if we wanted to order drinks or peruse the menu. We felt it was an inauspicious start. Thank goodness the Sunday lunch was superb and our waitress both friendly and efficient. Please employ an engaging and approachable person to welcome guests it would make a huge difference.

FANTASTIC! We have been to the Griffin a few times now for different reasons. Just a drink - the waiter knew exactly what the different wine tasted of, although he did confess he never used to be a wine drinker. The glass i order that...

The good news is that this venue adds another restaurant to the Old Town Amersham. The inside is nice and the staff very friendly. However the food prices and portion size I think are extremely disappointing. The skate wings I had, though nicely cooked was...

This was our 2nd visit to the Griffin. Our first was for brunch when it first opened. We were so impressed that we immediately booked a Sunday lunch to celebrate our friend's 50th birthday. Our friends are real foodies and we knew they would love...

Really lovely evening at the Griffin. The furnishings are lovely. We came mostly to see what the bar was like but had booked a table to eat and we were really impressed with the food. We shared the lamb kofta as a starter and then...

Our family decided they wanted a takeaway from the ‘new place’ in Great Missenden. With that they meant the Fish Bar and Mangal 😃. We can highly recommend if you are looking for friendly and fast service and delicious food prepared right in front of you. We will most certainly go back. Oh and ‘mangal’ means a Middle Eastern barbecue used to grill a variety of succulent meat and roast vegetables. Their decision to combine this with the more traditional fish and chips is really clever! So please give them a try - you will not be disappointed. We tried the chicken shish kebab, wings, spicy lamb skewer and fish and chips. Everything very yummy and decent quantity also.

I would like to have written a positive review but having both called and emailed to enquire if they have wheelchair access and an accessible toilet I have had no response and will book elsewhere. I can only assume that they do not or they do not want my custom. Very poor.

This was my first visit to the Red Lion. This lovely country pub had a nice feeling as we went in. My fish finger sandwich though was disappointing. The fish fingers overcooked and the bread crumbly so you could not pick it up. My friend had avocado and poached egg on bread that looked as if it had just been thrown together. No thought to presentation. I asked for extra tartar sauce that never arrived and asked 3 times before a water bowl for my dog arrived. It was a cold and wet day so would have been nice if the fires were burning. We meet regularly for lunch and this pub is about half way. After todays experience I think we will be looking elsewhere which is a shame.

Superb service, lovely atmosphere with no distracting background music, just as it should be, lovely food, current 2 courses for £18.50 is great value. looking forward to returning with our car club in March.

Came in to say "Goodbye" to the landlady. They're closing down. Awful sad... end of an era. The food was typical pub grub, with a twist, so it was tasty. Plenty of it. They had a good range of ales.
