The Harrow in Aylesbury Vale

The food was delicious. I don't have much of an appetite, but the staff were happy to give me a doggy bag for my, always hungry, labrador. Lovely food, delightful staff, what more could anyone ask for?

We had a great time with my friend. Everything was absolutely wonderful. Food was delicious! Such an amazing place. 100% recommended!

I visited the The Harrow with a friend. We were served a delicious meal and were very pleased with the customer service. I have ordered Free range chicken breast and chocolate and hazelnut soufflé. Absolutely fantastic. Well done everyone.

I want to thank manager Jordan and his wonderful team for everything they did to make our post-wedding lunch celebrations a superb event. It took time to find a lovely pub with great food and service and also a suitable events facility. We booked the Conservatory, which is absolutely beautiful, lots of light from floor to ceiling windows, perfect for our 36 guests, nice choice of table sizes and shapes and room to have drinks before sitting down for lunch. Jordan was extremely accommodating and helpful with all the arrangements and even remained cheerful when we sent him three erroneous emails in a row! On the day itself, the service was excellent with very nice, friendly and efficent staff who somehow managed all the orders despite guests moving around the tables. The staff went out of their way to make it a fabulous day. The menu was imaginative with good choices. The guests loved it all. Thank you from all of us.

A huge thank you to the chefs and all the team, including Jordan ( manager) and Joe ( waiter) for the warmest welcome and fabulous food in a delightful modern country setting. You looked after all 23 of us with friendliness and diligence and your food was cooked to perfection, from a menu that had flair and varied options. Your establishment is immaculate, beautifully decorated, yet homely and is clearly run to a high standard. The conservatory and gardens are lovely and added to what was a very special occasion. We all had a wonderful time so once again please accept our sincere thanks for everything that you have done and we wish your business every success in the future. We would return in a heartbeat if we could!

Table of 9 booked for Saturday 10th. Lovely food all round and excellent service from Kiera (not sure if that’s the spelling). Everyone enjoyed all the types of food we had from steaks, fish, fish and chips and lovely desserts. Will definitely return. Thank you

We stopped for lunch after setting g stuck in a lot of traffic on our way to out holiday. The pubs was nice,clean and the staff very helpful. The menu wasn't massive but that isn't an issue. We had a solution infusing pies, burgers, pasta and fish and chips. Had to wait a bit longer than I would have expected but the food itself was of good quality. The process was a little on the high side and that coupled with the wait gives them a 4 out of 5 but would pop in again if passing.

Staff were fabulous, the ambience was great, cleanliness was great, we had a lovely birthday dinner in the outside area.

We booked a table for five, we arrived early for drinks and we were seated at our table early which was good. We ordered our food which arrived very quickly. I ordered the burger and upgraded the fries to triple cooked chips, The burger was dry even tho the plate was covered in juice, the burger was miss sized to the bun, very thick but small to width of bun, the chips were terrible, I couldn’t eat them , we paid the bill without complaining after being asked 5 times if everything was ok, We we paid the bill in cash,and the server made a comment that we had only left a 1 pound tip without even counting the cash, we did leave a tip and it was more than a pound ! Will not be returning .. the place is nice and other staff were lovely

Beautiful pub you can eat inside in the conservatory or outside in covered area. I dined for a birthday celebration a few negatives, the chairs in the conservatory were too low for the table. Partners lager was very fizzy never seen so much gas my gin was wonderful. Menu limited could do with more salad options like my fave chicken ceaser salad. We dined in the evening but still had to put up with screaming children not pubs fault but would not have expected toddlers at that time of the evening. Would go back for a drink & snack in the garden but not for dinner.

The food is all very tasty and cooked to a high standard. It makes a change to go to a restaurant and really enjoy food that has been well cooked. The menu was exciting and a bit different from the normal things you get on a pub menu. Staff friendly and helpful although some of the youngsters could do with a bit more training.

Second time we have been to The Harrow. Food is superb and beautifully presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful they looked after us extremely well. Love the cosy log burner.

We went for Sunday lunch here and had a lovely meal. It was very busy and quite loud in the conservatory area. Drinks were taking a while, but food came out really quickly and it was amazing. Really delicious and good option for a Sunday lunch.

We visited The Harrow for Saturday lunch a couple of weeks ago with family and friends . The food was fantastic - very tasty, well prepared and thoughtfully presented - whilst also being good value. Service was relaxed and efficient, yet attentive without being overbearing. The pub's interior is cosy and welcoming, but it feels that bit smarter than many other local options. We'll be back soon.

Great dinner with friends, the staff were very attentive and the food was outstanding, the most delicious I've had in the area.

This is a lovely pub that's been done up to a high standard. It's very big now, with different dining areas. We had a birthday lunch with 6 of us and a baby, nearly 1 year old. We are all vegan, and they provided a superb vegan meal, and the staff couldn't do enough for us!! I can't praise them enough! We will be returning in December for another birthday meal!

Lovely service and even better food. The portions were perfect and a great choice for Sunday dinner. The staff were very accommodating and made us feel right at home!

A family sunday roast was enjoyed by most of us, i had the venison and was pleased to get a generous helping but already seasoned with a fruity sauce, parsley and garlic, neither of which i like, this was compounded by deep fried ''roast potatoes '' and a red cabbage with a very sweet taste, sorry but not to my liking, i prefer to season my own food to my own liking if necessary, otherwise good surroundings, great friendly service but soured at the end when another tables drinks had been added to our bill, we all make mistakes i suppose.

We recently held our Mothers Wake in the Garden Lodge, it was the perfect space for our family and friends to celebrate our Mum's life. The staff were super helpful and attentive throughout. Food was tasty and plentiful. Thank you. I have also eaten in the restaurant several times and its always a first class dining experience. Carol

Wow! This takes British pub food to a new level, but in the cosy and beautiful ambience of a pub versus a restaurant. If you’re a foodie, like excellent service and stunning/stylish and modern surroundings (that still retain a lovely British pub feel) then this is the place for you. The friendliness of the team is also fab; I lost an earring on a recent visit that had strong sentimental value to me; the team found it and the manager has kindly has agreed to post it back to me.

A Saturday evening visit that was beyond expectation. The food was delightful and smacked of texture, flavour, detail and passion. Beautifully presented fine dining and (surprisingly) without the usual hefty wallet gouge. To start we enjoyed the Sourdough and Pork spread, Chili infused Olives and the stunning Pork Croquette. For mains we took a leap of faith for the highly recommended: Treacle Flat Iron Steak sharer and it did not miss a step. The beef was perfectly cooked and was more than moreish. The jacket potato was perfectly fondant and smokey. The accompanying Caesar salad was a great contrast to the dish, with anchovy, perfectly light crouton and that classic refreshing gem lettuce crunch. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the smiling staff were quietly attentive. I cannot leave here without mentioning the desert…. Now when I say bafflingly good…. A beautifully light, whipped cheesecake topped with a bewildering citrus snow, finished with a coffee cream. After one taste I was catapulted back to being a young boy, red cheeked and sled bound on a crisp winters day. A lovely nod and culinary introduction to the coming winter season. I also had to have the Chocolate cremeux (purely because I am obsessed) and it was as equally delicious. A moment in Chocolate heaven… We will be back to relish, in this talented chef’s tantalising creations, as soon as possible. I would advise booking in advance, especially with the time of year. We sat in the bar area and found it most serene, despite every table being occupied. Thank you kindly again, to all of the team for making my birthday meal a real treat to remember. B

Well worth the drive out. Exceptional service and food. Booking advised. 👍 Great venue for a late lunch...or early dinner ...FabULous

We have been coming to The Harrow since the change in management over a year ago, quite often. Whilst the standards have improved dramatically since 2020, tonight was a different level. We had the special moules and devilled whitebait (my 9yr olds favourite). However even our DS switched the the Moules rather than his cherished Whitebait. Normally this on its own would be praise indeed. However for main we had the Special, 35 day Dry Aged Pichana to share. Wow, oh wow, probably one of the best pieces of beef and perfectly cooked I have ever eaten. Along with the immaculately cooked sides, including a smoked baked potato and spice charred Corn on the cob. Perfect.. in fact beyond perfect Food of this quality it not normally found in gastro pubs. All I can say is, fantastic and thank you for an amazing meal. It’s little wonder that this pub is in the Good Food guide 2023. Keep this up and entry for 2024 will be guaranteed. Well done to all the team. Oh and DS loves his desert, cannot get enough of that Butterscotch sauce with the Sticky Toffee Pudding

Our second visit, pleased though not surprised that both visits have been outstanding. The location, service and wine are all superb and support the star of the show - the food. My first visit in June, I was delighted by the balancing of the flavours in my starter and main - torched cod cheeks followed by poached duck egg. This visit the 'while you wait' devilled whitebait certainly had a kick. I had the slow cooked lamb breast for starter which as I have come to expect was full of flavour and each mouthful a delight. My main, which was belly of pork accompanied by traditional elements but prepared and served in an inventive manner was a joy with a cheeky 30cm strip of crackling adding a little fun! I've not yet managed a dessert - guess I'll just have to go back again. Thank you all at the Harrow.

Weekday lunch at a brilliant venue in the middle of nowhere! Someone has invested big here. Food was good quality and sensibly priced. Loses one star as the staff were a bit thin on the ground and some lacked a bit of experience. No doubt those issues will be solved over time.

Went to the Harrow for the first time. Modern warm venue. Very clean and well presented. Good food very nicely cooked. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very happy to recommend and we will e Returning. Thanks for the lovely Anniversary lunch.

Amazing Sunday lunch on a rainy day. Could not fault the food - tasty squid for starters and one of the best roast dinners I’ve had in a long time! Can’t wait to go back, lovely welcoming staff too.

A hidden gem in Buckinghamshire! We went last week for a pint and were charmed by Libby & Jordan. We returned tonight to dine and it was sublime. First off, great range of drinks with great tasting ale & lager from Marlow - But you...

Great roast dinner followed by a well presented rice pudding desert Staff well presented and very attentive and polite (thank you Hope) Can’t wait till next visit

Brilliant food, the fish and chips was great, a vinegar gel was unexpected but very much enjoyed. Excellent welcome from Jacob and Libby, as well as all round great service from our waiter, Ben. Will definitely be coming back. 😁

This restaurant is first class, the food was varied and adventurist utilising foods that are available and in season, so the menu is constantly changing for the benefit of its customers. The atmosphere is, in my opinion just about right for a special private celebration....

A lucky find !! After being let down at the last minute by another establishment in the area a change of venue had to be arranged. The staff were helpful, polite & waited on us very well. The menu offered a wide range of options...

A beautiful pub shame about the service. We were in a large group so luckily had preordered. The food was lovely & well presented but unfortunately we waited ages for our sauces. And had to ask for jugs of water even though we’d been later...

I've ordered Free range chicken breast, Romano pepper, organic spelt, charred corn, rainbow chard for main course and some ice cream as desert. Food was delicious, the spelt was very tasty. We sat down in a conservatory and we were pleased with the service. I...

The Harrow is an excellent place to be with family or friends. Great food and drink and it is reasonably priced. But what made our visit to The Harrow special was the exceptional service we had from the manager Jordan. Jordan exceed the expectations of...

Sunday lunch with our daughter Mussels . Salmon , terrine. starters Roast beef mains . Delicious, good value , lovely setting . And served by the lovely Millie Grace .

What a disappointment. What should have been a family celebration was spoilt by poor service, unacceptable wait for food and mediocre food. One member of staff thought I was unreasonable expecting my meal to be served after waiting for one and a half hours.

Last minute Sunday lunch booking, towards the end of service. Plenty of gluten free options for me, including a proper Sunday lunch. The main issue was the length of time to be served the starter and main course. The manager recognised this and offered a...

Gorgeous friendly gem of a pub (and dog friendly). The food is amazing! Pub food with a luxury twist, carefully made and locally sourced. Staff are so friendly and helpful, will do everything they can to make sure you have a good experience. Recommend the...

We went as a two families of four for Sunday lunch. We sat in the courtyard, which is a covered and heated conservatory type area. It has an openable awning roof and side walls. It’s quite a unique space. Anyway the food was very high...

Fantastic evening out with friends - great service - thanks Jordan First time experiencing new me I and it didn’t disappoint - burgers that melt in the mouth and the vinegar relish with the fish and chips was amazing - you need to bottle it!

I have been to this pub with a friend for Sunday roast. I have ordered chicken roast and it was delicious. Tender and juicy, not dry at all as in other pubs. Simply cooked to perfection! And the different sorbet for dessert were just extraordinary!...

I went there for a lunch with a friend and kids. I had a fish and chips and my friend ordered a burger. Food was delicious. Very tasty fish and crispy chips, my friend was impressed with her burger. The staff was very friendly and...

Disappointing visit with friends, uninspiring menu choice compared to past times. Fish meal spoiled by thick soggy batter and burger inedible and uncooked in centre. Manager apologised and removed item from bill. Will not be in a rush to return. The only saving grace was...

Anniversary lunch. Not the greatest of selection on the menu. We should have checked it before booking, but we have been many times before with friends and had good service and loved the food. It was a sharp contrast to our previous experiences. I asked...

I was really impressed with quality of food and all the kids meals and fun pack. Great atmosphere and service . Love the interior too

Lovely food, excellent service, served by Charlotte who was very helpful and friendly, gave service with a smile!!!!

Food incredible, staff efficient and extremely friendly, not rude in any way, as stated in one of the reviews. Waitress went out of her way to help. We’ve been here many times and never been disappointed.

Bitterly disappointed by the rudeness of the staff. Big mistake; will never go there again, and would advise others to avoid.

Warm welcome and great service from Sally. Excellent food with a varied and tantalising menu. Try the Duck liver parfait brulee starter. Very enjoyable evening.

Taken for birthday lunch. Couldn't have wished for more. Excellent in every way. Thank you to all the staff

As soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly by the bar staff. We were early for out booking but were told that our table was ready. This is our 2nd time in a month or two and todays visit was just as good. The...

Popped in for a quick drink last Saturday evening and was served by a very knowledgeable gentleman behind the bar who gave us wine recommendations - we took his advice and was one of the nicest Sauvignon Blancs I’ve had in a pub for a...

Came here and had two roast beefs which were the best roast’s we’ve had. Millie-Grace our waitress was brilliant and helpful and all of the other staff were super friendly as well would definitely recommend!

We had an excellent meal with friends. One has a food allergy. On our arrival he was given a highlighted menu of what he could have and couldn't. Having been having meals out with him for years this was the first time he had ever...

Late in 2022 I made, or caused to be made, three bookings totalling over £800.00 business for this place. If I could have cancelled the remaining two bookings after the first experience, I would have done so. I have to ask the question whether this...

Creative, tasty & seasonal food. Excellent, quirky & stylishly decorated interior. One real ale. Good size car park. Marquee for functions. Easy to find. Friendly staff.

The new menu is sensational. Amazing variety of very high standard dishes I. A fantastic setting. Fabulous service. Just loved it.

Me and my friends used to attend very regularly often on a Saturday or Sunday so would see a lot of the same staff. We were all so upset to hear one of the friendliest of faces at the Harrow, Lizzie one of the waitresses...

After being told the Harrow does great food I thought myself and partner would try it for he 1st time. On arrival 5pm we were told the chef was running late..really...the chef? around half hr? ok lets order a bottle of wine ..well overpriced £20...

Four of us visited for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. Couldn’t fault it. Good service and excellent food. It’s nice to have the Perspex covid screens still in place as it helps reduce the noise a little when it gets busy.

Have been to The Harrow multiple times. Unfortunately it now has the common issue of being style over substance and on this occasion our meal and service was below average hence only 2 stars. This contrasts sharply with our previous visit. The owners have spent...

We are new locals and this was our first visit to the Harrow. First impressions - very spacious stylish and extremely clean. Selection of beers; spirits and wine was very good. The bar service was also good, but could have been bit more friendly. Once...

Absolutely amazing spending time with the family and food that was absolutely to die for! Spend a reasonable amount for food that surpassed our expectations. Will be visiting soon

We came for Sunday lunch and had a wonderful experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, especially our waitress, Jessica who couldn't do enough for us. The meat (beef) was perfectly cooked, the potatoes and Yorkshire to die for, with 4 different veg, including tenderstem...

Dropped in for a spot of lunch and was impressed with the updated decor which hopefully boded well for the standard of food! We were not disappointed! We settled for haddock and chips, garden peas, nicely presented and delicious! The staff were excellent, friendly and...

Amazing pub with so much space. Service was amazing staff were attentive and friendly. No faults at all. The outside and patios have so much space. Quiet and tranquil.

Visited here for a family meal but I was a bit concerned about the reviews about poor service back in May. The restaurant however have clearly sorted since then. We were served mostly by Andy who was very efficient and knowledgeable. All staff worked hard...

Never been inspired to visit as the menu is uninteresting, however others seemed to like it so took the plunge and visited for dinner. Wish we hadnt bothered, food bland, and not hot , staff polite but clueless. Shame as the garden area is lovely...

5 of us dined here on Sunday 13th March for a late lunch. Food was good, mainly Sunday roasts, altho a couple of people said some of the beef was a bit fatty and chewy. Pannacotta was lovely, and the brownies were hot and gooey....

We have eaten here quite a few times over the last few years and the food has generally been good however the menu recently does not seem to change. . Our last meal was particularly disappointing as when the food arrived it was not hot....
