The Grouse and Ale in Wycombe

Superb food. Service was good but the truffle chips are a waste of money so don't bother. A very solid 8.5/10

We had my Nanny's wake here on 26th November. The team were brilliant, attentive without being intrusive, friendly, approachable and professional. The food was lovely and there was plenty of it. I met a friend for lunch here after the wake and once again the food and the team were brilliant.

Service is excellent, staff are attentive. Food is delicious. A little on the pricier side but it's a lovely place so worth the treat.

Welcoming, warm and a lovely atmosphere. Staff were very friendly too.

Lovely meal with my kids, roast 😋 and deserts everyone enjoyed

Very nice meal. Very friendly staff and atmosphere.

We had our wedding reception here for 16 people on the 28/9/24. We were in a separate private room. The Management could not have been more helpful leading up to our day. The food was excellent, all served at the same time and service second to none. The staff were lovely. Excellent service. It was perfect. It was a wonderful afternoon. Could not fault anything. We have eaten there twice before and always been very happy with the service and the food

Great village pub attentive staff and great food

Great service and food. Excellent value for money.

Being vegetarian wasn't very much on the menu, asked what else I could have, had a burger. Would be nice to have more on the menu though

Very pleasant pub with nice atmosphere, very clean and nicely laid out dining area. Staff very pleasant and welcoming, not intrusive. Food was really nice and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Portion sizes were just right, lovely pate, Cumberland sausage and mash perfect, two in the party had Hake which they thought was very good, in the end all had deserts and all left very satisfied. Worth the visit and be suprised if you were disappointed.

Beautiful, tasty Sunday lunch. The service was fabulous and they went out of their way to make our elderly guest feel so welcome. The food had 'taste', which isn't always the case in pubs. We all commented on the quality of all the veg. The beef was lovely and about double of what we would have expected. We've eaten here before with relatives and are not surprised it's their favourite .

Very pleasant and well run pub with a secret garden hiding a zen water feature and ancient olive tree. Good for a stop-by. Food rumoured to be good but not yet tested.

Great food and Service, vey tasty pork and beef, huge yorkshire puddings, offered extra gravy etc great value compared with other places, great looking pub also

This place has such potential with its building, location and staff, but the food let's it down. Last time I ate here they were so accommodating we were grateful for whatever they were able to offer, but on returning today someone warned us not to have a roast, but still my mum wanted one. The roast potatoes were so hard and not crispy, she couldn't eat them. My risotto was ok, but really lacked flavour and the rice was undercooked, with too much of a crunch to it.

My family and I were really looking forward to a Sunday roast for a family member’s birthday. One of our party was vegetarian and the other vegetarian (but extremely dairy intolerant). They ordered their usual vegan nut roast which comes with veg, olive oil roasted potatoes and mushroom gravy, only to be told the nut roast had changed to vegetarian as it now had cheese in it. Instead they were offered a salad or a soup when everyone around them was enjoying full plates of roasted food. I asked the waitress why they couldn’t just have an extra roast potato or two? It would have been such a simple solution but she didn’t seem to comprehend the request. Instead they were given a tomato based vegetable tart - with gravy!! Plus all of us had to wait for our food for nearly an hour whilst it was sorted out. Just a heads up for the Grouse and Ale, Pieminster Jackfruit Mooless pies can be kept in the freezer and only take 25 minutes to cook. If a restaurant makes the plant based dishes vegan they can be enjoyed by all but as soon as you make it vegetarian, anyone vegan or dairy intolerant can’t eat it. And there was absolutely nothing vegan for dessert so my friends had to sit there and wait whilst the rest of us ate ours. We won’t be able to go back there any more as my poor friends felt excluded and disappointed, plus we were charged full price for their disgusting meals. Vegan food is not difficult.

Personale accogliente e molto gentile. Tutti dolci e sorridenti. Cibo ottimo, abbondante e curato in ogni minimo dettaglio. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

First visit as a date night to spend some time together. We were greeted so warmly and our dog was warmly welcomed too.

First time at The Grouse and Ale, A very warm welcome, and the food was delicious , The staff are very vigilant to your needs without being overbearing. Highly recommend if your that way

Really enjoyed our Sunday lunch here. For starters, we had the mozzarella sticks and the ham hock & chicken terrine, both were very tasty. Then for mains we had the pork roast and the fish and chips, both dishes were flavourful and had a generous portion size. For dessert, we really enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding and the apple & blackberry crumble. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this pub to couples, families and dog owners!

Returned to meet up with friends after moving away 20 years ago. Selected this pub from the website and was not disappointed. Excellent venue, menu choices, friendly and welcoming staff. Enjoyed a great lunch and will return in the future. Cannot fault it.

Only went the Grouse and Ale because it was open and the place we had planned to go to was closed. It was excellent 👍

Just popped in for a few drinks with friends B4 going to the Indian restaurant across the road

We popped in here for the first time, on a drive back from Birmingham and what a gem is a find! The staff were so friendly, they have a beautiful garden, lovely dining area and a massive restaurant! We sat in the garden with a nice beer then ate dinner in the bar (lovely!). The food is phenomenal, double cheeseburger is one of the best we’ve tried (would highly recommend!). As for the desserts, so good! We had the sticky toffee and chocolate delice. You can tell by the quality of the food that their chefs really do care about giving customers the best experience. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to return again soon. Love Emma & Mike xx

Looking for a nice pub in the area & found this place on Tripadvisor. Booked a table & warm welcome when we arrived. Lovely waitress called Emily Blake, which was bizarre as that is my daughter's name. We ordered the beef sandwich & was recommended the chicken Saltimbocca. It was delicious. Pub, service & food were very good & Emily was fantastic. Very inexpensive, well worth the visit, can't praise it high enough.

I am grateful to have such a lovely local. The food is good and the staff are always friendly. It's just a real shame they don't do take outs anymore...

Lovely staff, fabulous food and we had a really great time. Thanks ever so much, we will be back!

Pretty standard pub, friendly and good service with a smile, tasty fish & chips

Beautiful period building, polished cutlery and proper napkins. Our initial waitress mustve been her first day as she didn't know the menu or the drinks but the lady who served us after was really good and gave excellent service. The camembert starter with truffles was tasty although out order came with plain white toasted demi baguette and the other one came with posh wholemeal bread, we would've preferred the choice. Main was the four carne pizza which was about a 7 out of 10, not many toppings but good flavour and base was average. The waitress didn't know the size of the pizza when asked. The pie looked much better option with rich mash and thick gravy which my brother in law had and he said it tasted delicious. My wife had the beef sandwich and she really enjoyed it and the beef was very tender. Not every meal ordered felt like it was the same standard of quality unfortunately but still tasty. Good range of alcoholic drinks and non alcoholic Guinness which I had. Good range of soft drinks too. Spoke with the manageress after and she was excellent and really friendly.

A lovely pub with a really warm welcome and good honest food.

Knowing how popular this place is I was surprised to be able to book a table for Sunday lunch at only a couple of hours notice. However, there was no table for us when we arrived ("the people on your table are about to have dessert"), we were told we could order food in the bar (packed, noisy, no clean tables available), or have a drink and wait for our table. We elected to wait, but when the manager (I think?) person again came over to tell us we could order food in the bar we elected to vote with our feet. Don't bother trying to eat here at anything like a popular time, they will allow you to book a restaurant table but then not have one available.

Have been given food with milk in it two times in a row. They do not care about or well cater to people with dietary requirements or allergies. Would NOT recommend.

Passing through and stopped for a drink. What a great place.

Great service food excellent! Fully recommend the Pig cheeks!!! Amazing!

Was part of a large group. Food, staff great.

Fantastic place to eat and drink. Sunday lunch outstanding.

A great local pub. The staff do everything they can to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable..

Power cut on a week day evening ... whhch turned jbto ac good evening

Fabulous place ,third time we've been here .Today we came for a special birthday lunch .There was 22 of us and we were looked after very well ,the food was excellent. Compliments to the chef and the girls who looked after us. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome, friendly and attentive staff. Allowed our party time to catch up as we had not met for ages. Not at all pushy. Food was a delight and the menu well balanced way above the norm. The atmosphere was welcoming, friendly and comfortable. Would highly recommend this venue.

We stopped here on our way to Oxford for lunch. The welcome was friendly and welcoming, and the pub itself is historic and tastefully decorated. The waitress was engaging and attentive and knew the menu. The starter of artichoke and feta salad was substantial and delicious, not overly dressed, which is how it should be. Very good quality ingredients as well. The cod with clams main was well executed and represented good value for money. The brie and peppers sandwich was nice but too much bread, lots of peppers but could have done with more cheese. The espresso was authentic and served in the correct cup. Overall very good food and service at a fair price. We will return.

A 98th birthday lunch for my mother and 27 relatives. Tom and his staff very helpful and gave us run of the large dining area. They made the whole event run smoothly without problems. Everybody enjoyed their food and the atmosphere. We've eaten here on several occasions in the past and will certainly be doing so again

Very happy with our experience today. Slightly chaotic to start with (a testament to how good and popular the place is) but Tom and hos gang did a great job getting us settled and we all had an excellent meal, very good service. Special thanks to the Chef for going " off-piste " to provide burgers for two of our group!

We went for a family lunch and I can’t fault it at all. Food was amazing and the service was even better. They also gave us free ice cream for my nans birthday!

Always a great comprehensive menu of choices to choose from with a good ambience. The food is made onsite and really is excellent here, no matter what is selected, as was the service from Emily. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Had a 60th birthday party with around 20 people Food and drink was great Service was excellent and very friendly Could not ask for more

Very good lunch on Sunday, great food, amazing value (certainly something to note, as this is becoming rare!). Service/kitchen is struggling a bit, so expect some extended wait time on occasion, but the staff is very pleasant and the atmosphere charming, so it didn’t bother us much. We will return again, their menu was really interesting, we have a lot more to try!

Back at its best! Beautiful roast, Andy doing what he does best in full control of the kitchen! Lovely roast beef, best roast in years amazing cauliflower cheese

Marlow Thames Rotary club had been looking for many months for a restaurant or public house that could accommodate our members for our regular weekly meetings. We stumbled across this pub by accident, but oh boy what a find. Not only do they have an area of their pub where we are able to hold meetings of up to 40 members in private, they give us an excellent two course meal, with waitress service for a very reasonable price. The whole experience of a beautiful pub and well trained staff make it very easy for me to highly recommends the Grouse & Ale in Lane End.

First time visiting for a few years and we really enjoyed the experience. The menu was varied and the food was very tasty. Friendly service.

Very nice pub, with good food, but be aware you need to expect to wait for your meal.

Great atmosphere Tidy pub, fresh flowers Well priced Food - amazing, chips were fantastic, as good as Heston’s triple cooked

Went in for the first time with a mate for a drink at the start of January 2024 and I was taken back by how beautiful the interior was. A proper English pub.

We booked dinner for a family reunion we always enjoy the weekend after New Year. Again, the Grouse & Ale did not disappoint! Tom was our host and he was brilliant! Lighthearted banter with the group, precise review of each order, drinks served promptly. The food was divine and the wine choices were superb. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. My elderly father-in-law wanted the day fish and chips, which is normally too large for him, so he was offered a smaller portion which was perfect for him. Once again, we had a wonderful evening at the Grouse & Ale, and will be back soon. THANK YOU for a truly enjoyable evening.

The service was wonderful. The whole staff especially the manager Tom was so attentive and accommodating. The food was excellent! I had slow braised pork, and it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was also delicious and the cappuccino is one of the best I’ve had lately. Overall, this was an incredible dining experience. Highly recommended. Would definitely visit again.

This was our second meal in a few weeks here, and both times all four of us were delighted with the delicious food. One of friends said it was the best restaurant meal he had ever had. The venue itself is lovely, as are the staff. Thank you for a great evening out...again!

We needed a venue for a lunchtime family gathering that was going to be an equidistant drive from Norwich, Bath, and Eastbourne! On a practical note it was perfect, an adjacent good-sized car park, wheelchair access and easy access disabled toilet. But the excellent welcome, food and service was an added bonus - even worth travelling 3 hours for! No hesitation in recommending the Grouse and Ale very highly.

We like The Grouse and Ale. It is, simply, the best. With all this excellence, it would be easy to rest on laurels, but the service never waivers. For casual drinks and dining or a special occasion; the place to be.

Great lunch. Menu large enough for good choice, but small enough to mantain great quality. Cod dish was generous and tasty. Venison Paperdelle was good too, with quality pasta. And the restaurant-killer dish, Risotto, was good and creamy and not dried out or overcooked. Creme Caramel was very good, as was the Custard Tart. Definintely worth a journey to Lane End if you are not local.

Attended with my wife and daughter. I explained up front that my daughter had autism and the manager (owner)? And staff tried absolutely every way possible to make sure she was as comfortable and well looked after as possible. Fabulous effort.

Brilliant, attentive staff, lovely food and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We had a 3 year old and my grandmother with us and both were accommodated for so it was perfect. The food was delicious and it perfect for a late christmas treat with my family. We were looked after wonderfully and I would thoroughly recommend. xxx

Great food, cosy place, and attentive service. Perfect for a family meal over Christmas. Very accommodating with our 10-month-old baby.

Superb family meal when we came for Sunday lunch here just before Christmas. The atmosphere was very festive and the dining area where we sat was beautifully decorated in traditional Christmas red and green. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was amazing! Definitely the best Sunday roast I have had for ages beautifully served and piping hot, and generous servings.

Lovely fish & chips, only 10minutes off the M40.

We had an enjoyable meal at the Grouse and Ale. Lovely atmosphere and tasty food. Thank you for your attentive service and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Great dinning experience!!! Went for work Christmas meal. Delicious food!!!! Great service!!!

We had our work Christmas meal at The Grouse and Ale The service was very attentive, food serviced well with good timing. Great atmosphere in our own private dinning space. Delicious food!! Definitely would recommend for either business or pleasure dinning.

Great friendly local pub with great service and excellent food. Recommend the Sunday roasts Very dog friendly -you can eat with the dog in the bar

Came back for a Sunday roast after a few months - food as always is just spot on - delicious and for those who like a healthy sized portion this is the place to come. Service is very attentive and to go along with this...

Lovely place. Great food and very friendly staff.

Very disappointed with our Sunday lunch. My beef was tough and grissle and my husband's stuffed pork was all stuffing. No choice of veg and small portion of 1 carrot. The cauliflower cheese was late arriving and stuck to bottom of dish. Looked large on...

Just had the best Sunday roast I have had for ages. The team at The Grouse could not do enough for us and the dog too - she got her own bowl of water and treats - excellent food - flavoursome and plentiful - the Nut roast was excellent - I am already looking forward to our next visit - Thank you to all at The Grouse and Ale

Really exquisite food at the Grouse & Ale this evening. Excellent service as always.

I booked my retirement party with Sue and she went out of her way to make the evening great and run smoothly. We had such a fun evening. It was especially helped by having Alex serving us along with others. Alex is ‘fabulous darling’ and makes me laugh every time I go, he really made my evening the best and has every time he’s been there!

The Grouse and Ale has certainly stepped up a notch or two, the food is absolutely delicious, beautiful presentation and top service. Highly recommend this gastro pub/restaurant

We had a fabulous meal celebrating my Dad's 90th Birthday. All the team were so attentive, the food excellent, the service exceptional and the ambience was perfect. Thank you for helping make a special day even more special.

Lovely cosy pub with a great menu and friendly, professional staff. The team took a lot of care to make sure our dietary requirements were taken care of. Thanks especially to Nush and Caitlin. We'll definitely be back!

A very welcoming pub. The menu was interesting and the food top standard. The staff were very attentive and helpful. We are certain to make a return.

Menu looking a bit tired and unless it has changed recently, is at risk of becoming a bit boring. Food always well prepared though.

Recently wrote a partly critical review based on the tired menu. I note that the menu has now changed so withdraw my comments pending my next visit. Apologies.

We chose on an important anniversary today to visit a long term favourite for lunch, the Grouse & Ale at Lane End; and we were not disappointed. We were brilliantly looked after by Mark, who was friendly and helpful, and provided a really personal service...

We had not been here since it had a refurbishment. We came to meet with some friends who we hadn’t seen for some years. We were shown to a nice table in the restaurant and menus were bought. For me I was not impressed with the choices on offer, there was a “special’s” menu which was no better. When the waiter Alex, came to take our order, although friendly, he was very pushy, trying to persuade us all to go for the specials and encouraging us to go large on the drinks and order bottles of wine instead of glasses. This continued throughout our meal. 3 of us ordered the fish & chips, 4 ordered the steak pie and 1 ordered the muscles. We all agreed that the food we had was very good, I would have liked more choices of good British dishes without the addition of other flavours like fennel or hazelnuts. I’m not sure if I would eat here again, I may go in for a drink.

Had the great lunch here nice warm welcome by Pedro and excellent service from Emily, food was very tasty and well presented thanks everyone definitely will return and recommend.

Stopped off for some lunch to break a long journey up and were very glad we did. Nice atmosphere, good value tasty food, would return again if in the area.

Solid hearty pub. Good food and attentive staff!

It's a good, welcoming and friendly pub. It has a large courtyard and indoor restaurant and serves simple, tasty food.

I had a fish finger sandwich and cheesy chips they were really nice good service kind people would go again :)

Nice pub bit on the pricey side but I think it's worth it give them a try see what you make of them

Having used the Grouse and Ale for several family gatherings was disappointed at the Service levels yesterday. Group of 11 - All food pre-ordered. Food was great as per usual when it did arrive but service was very slow. 45 minutes from being seated to...

Visted today. It was very busy, and despite some pretty rude customers, the staff did a wonderful job. Food excellent.

Its got too expensive and the food has gone a tad downhill. Sign of the times

Went for dinner with friends. Food absolutely delicious. Such a lovely pub. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Definitely visit again. The sunday lunch looks good.

Good food in a pleasant environment. The service problems were just down to not having enough staff.

Got the salad which was very small.

Not the friendliest staff ,take one look at you a lot of them ,decide they don't like you a lot of the time ,the food is like school dinners , alright for a pint and a quick bite ,not worth it

We went to the Grouse & Ale as a group of 27; 12 adults and 15 children and young adults. Ordinarily a pub wouldn’t even contemplate accepting such a large booking but they willingly accepted and asked if we’d make a pre-order to make it...

Food was very tasty and the staff friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant and facilities clean

We were tired having driven out of London. We rang ahead to book and the staff were really friendly. It's a lovely pub serving good food not far off the M40. I would recommend it.

Such An Amazing Venue. Visited with a friend who's moved walking distance from this Wonderful Pub. Such Efficient & Professional Staff. Excellent Sunday Lunch. Want to return SOON👍Thank You🙋‍♀️.

Lovely pub, great food, will be back as I've just moved to the area
