The Harte & Magpies in Chiltern

Friendly greeting always from hospitable owner and small team. Great parking and garden - no crowding, outside busy Beaconsfield and Amersham towns. Imaginative dishes created on-site. Well-kept bitters and smart loos. What else do we need?

Eaten here many times and the quiz on Wednesdays (fortnightly) is well worth a good crack

Really nice pub, food decent- had baguettes which were served with chips. The young staff are lovely and very attentive. No background music playing in the bar or restaurant area so it felt a little dead. Would return - thank you.

Lovely food, good service, staff friendly - given 3 stars for atmosphere as feel it could be made to look more "cosy"

Lovely pub, super friendly staff, wonderful with dogs. Food is great as well!

Lovely pub and lovely food. An loves animals.

Can't fault it, food excellent, we all said that after a starter and main, there was no room left for a pud. Just love the garlic mushroom starter it's the star of the show for me. Could almost be considered as a main meal it was so filling.

Perfect place, wonderful food, friendly staff

The food was lovely, Sunday lunch was tasty although yourkshire pud was a bit overdone. Dish and chips was huge but also slightly burnt batter but still nice.

Nice location, landlord really friendly and really good food

Nice pub! Really great at the end of a walk, nice staff and food options!

Nice old style pub. Friendly staff and good service. Lots of parking. Good sized garden for sunny days.

“It was pretty cool. The owner was a friendly guy.” — 14yo

It was a nice day hence nice location drinking outside on the green. Overlooks the main road and car park to one side and green areas to the other side which has wooden benches.

Excellent Sunday roast. Attentive staff.

After seeing good reviews we thought we would try it out but were left very underwhelmed, £20 for a roast lunch which was pretty bland and with the addition of a sharp bit of plastic in the Yorkshire pudding. Friendly staff, lovely big garden and aplay areafor kids

Great beer garden and inch cider on tap !

Turned up for a catch up with friends (dog in tow) and was greeted to a very quiet pub on a bank holiday Monday. Somewhat dubious to the understated atmosphere and the simple menu, I was delighted to find Rebellion beer and perfectly poured Guinness alongside a very friendly reception. After ordering the sausage and mash, burgers, and spaghetti bowl between us, we were all blown away at how wonderful the food was. The sausages and burgers in particular were out of this world and as foodies, we particularly appreciated the fact that they were homemade. Highly recommend this place. We will be coming back with dog and child in tow for another proper homemade meal and friendly atmosphere with quality ales.

Lovely pub, the food is top notch and the staff even better. Our Lab Cooper had a great time and will be going back again. 🐶

Always a warm welcome fantastic food well priced.

Great pub to meet up with friends, especially after a walk. Good food, good service, and a really nice place to be on a sunny afternoon

Nice quiet pub with a good menu and great variety of drinks. Didn't have lunch but the pub itself was very pleasant and the staff veru polite.

Great place. Very chilled. Staff have a laugh. Dog friendly too!

Excellent fish and chips, great and friendly service. Loved the atmosphere and the whole feel of the place

Lovely, friendly, service. Food very good (maybe chips could’ve been a bit fresher/crispier, but I’m being a bit picky) Great, spacious beer garden with play equipment for the kids.

Generous and tasty portions, very friendly staff, classic pub. Thanks!

The food was delicious, the service.was.extremely Good, but.to my taste, the pub was a little.on the cold.side

A good quiet pub for a nice pint and a tasty pie!

We’ve had a great Sunday roast and our son loved the play area. We’ll be definitely back.

A lovely pint of Smugglers served by happy, smiling people. Great end of walk.

We assumed we were surely on a hiding to nothing, looking for somewhere that could do lunch for 37 at 24hrs' notice. Enter the Harte & Magpies. I'd been here before as a kid and remembered the play area was great, and now with about a dozen kids in our group we thought this would be a great place for a Sunday lunch with friends. Simon and Steve were exceptional hosts and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble for them. We ordered in advance, and they communicated really well with us both on that and on the day itself re. when the chefs would start cooking etc. The food was delicious, prepared promptly and 37 guests' meals all arrived at the same time, and piping hot. We were really impressed. The kids also had a blast in the garden and the play area. The Harte & Magpies is a great pub, really nice atmosphere and staffed by a fantastic team. The food and beers were great, and we were happy with the prices. Thanks so much Simon, Steve and team. Chris et al.

I for one am really pleased that traditional pubs like this still exist. Been visiting once a year around Christmas for the past 8 or so years and it had never disappointed. Really good food, a decent range of beers too. Only negative was it was a tiny bit cold but tis literally the middle of winter. Look forward to returning in 2024

A warm and welcoming pub serving excellent beers.

Well run with well kept ales and good choice of food. Excellent servicei

Popped in on a Friday evening with my son for some for some dinner - Fish and Chips and pie of a day were a knock out. Decent portions and well cooked. Decent choice of beers on top including Lowenbrau

Quiet lunchtime, friendly service, great garden, good looking menu.

Lovely ambience, great food, warm welcome

A lovely country pub which we happened to try on our way back from Cliveden National Trust; we’ll be stopping again! Dog friendly and delicious food at very reasonable prices!

First time I have been there, just had picky bits to eat but food was nice, and omg the onion rings were amazing. Staff were very nice

Group of 50+ people dropped into the pub for a quick afternoon drink. Bit of a mix up, landlord wasn't told beforehand. Although surprised, was very accommodating. Thank you.

Went there for a quiz night. Friendly people and the food was excellent.

First time at this pub and was impressed with the look of the place and the staff all very polite, the manager Steve served me, he was very warm welcoming and polite, complements to the chef all the food was fab and well worth the money and also was quick to serve. We will definitely be coming back, great location. Thank you Danny

Had a enjoyable lunch there yesterday...will go again. Have been again and its just the same very good food and service.

This is a hidden gem in Amersham. I love how friendly the staff and owners are. The food does not disappoint. The only downside for me is I can’t get there enough!!

Had a great sunny afternoon in the beer garden here. Good food and drinks, reasonably price and great service.

Exceptional food, service and atmosphere

A lovely pub for lunch on a walk. Excellent beer and great food at sensible prices.

Land lord very rude and unfriendly.

Good food, great outside space with room for the kids to play and a climbing frame, dog friendly as well.

Ótimo ambiente bom atendimento comida deliciosa

Very friendly staff great pub we'll come again and again

Lovely pub grub, great service.

Called here for tea. We chose the burger, really tasty and plenty of chips come with it. Someone on the next table had fish and chips, all I can say is wow, think a whale on a plate was served to them 😁

Crikey Roast Dinners have got expensive in Pubs now Toby here I come

Popped in for a break and quick soft drink when navigating across country due to M1 closure.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, nice staff

Excellent meal and very friendly staff.

An excellent country pub. Decent range of beers, and a traditional menu. Perfect if you're going for an amble round Hodgemoor woods. I went with the pie of the day, and was pleasantly surprised that it was a proper pie with a full pastry case!

On a very pleasant, sunny Wednesday we took a couple of mile walk through bluebell laden woods to the Harte & Magpies. Although a little breezy, it was warm enough to take a table outside and enjoy the sunshine while it lasted. We haven’t been to the Harte & Magpies for a little while but thankfully they’re still selling Rebellion Smuggler so of course a pint was ordered. I was fairly hungry after the walk and so chose the fish & chips whilst my wife chose a small goats cheese salad. When the meal arrived I nearly fell off my chair since the beer battered fish was enormous, with a good portion of chips and mushy peas in accompaniment. The fish looked superb and didn’t disappoint, it was succulent and tasty and the batter was thin and crispy - perfect! I treated it as a bit of a challenge given the size and wouldn’t let it defeat me - it didn’t. I understand that the goat’s cheese salad was very good too. With another half of Smuggler and a coffee the whole meal came to just over £36 - very good value indeed. Fish & chips and a pint and a half of Smuggler enjoyed in the sun - what could beat it? Never have I been more grateful however for a lengthy, post meal, stroll back home. Happy to recommend the Harte & Magpies if you’re after a proper pub delivering good food and ale in a relaxing convivial atmosphere.

After a long journey I was tired hungry and needed coffee. I stopped here and was greeted immediately by a warm cosy atmosphere, a dog lying by the fire, and a very chilled, polite and friendly barman. Very helpful staff, food was served quickly and coffee immediately. The service was excellent, the food was freshly cooked and tasted lovely. I'd very happily go out of my way to return there for another meal.

Absolutely fabulous. Great food Excellent service Lovely staff Highly recommended

Led a walk from this pub last Sunday,we were made very welcome, great roast and i can recommend the wonderful Bangers and Mash, the sausage s were to die for.

Friendly bar staff serving up decent homemade food....had pie of the day which was lovely. Henry Westons Cider on draught is a treat too! 😋

Lovely Roast Beef and Yorkshire. Would recommend it

A light and airy pub serving traditional pub food. I enjoyed my chicken and ham pie and it was a real change from chicken and mushroom which you normally get in restaurants. The pub owner was very friendly as were the bar staff and they have a well behaved labrador. They serve Vale IPA, so nice to see a pub supporting a small brewery. Well worth a vist.

Ticks all the 'typical British pub' boxes: dark wood furnishings, wood fire, selection of beers, passable kitchen... Had a lot of outdoor space and a small kids playgorund

Lovely pub and great food. Will definitely come back.

Lovely, dog friendly pub. Good food and beer. Friendly atmosphere.

Very friendly bar and they also allow dogs

Really lovely atmosphere, brilliant staff and the food is amazing especially the fish and chips

Nice outside seating. Expensive on drinks and snacks.

Great friendly place, dogs and muddy boots welcome, great jumping off/landing point for a load of great walks and cycles…

Excellent food and staff. I really enjoyed our quick stop and lovely food. Great service too!

Food wasn’t the best on the Sunday we dropped in around 2:00pm. We both had roast dinners which had been zapped on a microwave, and for some reason the person behind the bar could not mix a bitter shandy, despite it being taken back once. There was also an out break off flys in the pub, with not blue light fly killers on the walls didn’t make for a very enjoyable meal.

I've never had a bad meal here, and the staff are excellent.

Fantastic freshly cooked food, some of the best I've ever tasted. Friendly staff and quick and attentive service. Highly recommend it.

Generous and tasty meals with lovely garden and area for children to play

We stopped off after a day out at Clivedon (national trust). It is a lovely pub, the food was delicious and they were very friendly staff. The children (5 & 9) had a great time, enjoyed playing in the play area and big garden area and really enjoyed their food. The kids Margarita pizza was delicious. Highly recommend a stop even just for a drink if your passing by. Also Scrumpy the pub dog was lovely and calm also with the children. Thank you for our very welcoming stop!

Welcoming staff. Good selection of local ales and popular larger's. Roasts are a good size and very tasty. Great outdoor space and a children's play area

Spend a wonderful afternoon here. Excellent service, great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Great place and a usual haunt of ours. Great food

A colleague and I were paying this rural pub and stopped for a quick bite. The landlord was very friendly and helpful. Food wise, my colleague and I both ordered baguettes. My bacan, brie and cranberry was lovely. Nice old school pub, big garden for summer and a play area for children. It's by a relatively main road, but most pubs are. Highly recommended and I'd happily go again.

Brilliant the service outstanding we came in for a roast on Sunday ordered at the bar and within 20mins the food was out it was so fresh and piping hot. All the staff where so happy and friendly it was a really calm relaxed atmosphere to enjoy somewhere different. We are definitely coming back and have recommended to all friends and family. Well done staff

Very friendly staff highly recommended

Loved it, host was very welcoming. The menu catered for gluten free which was great. The potion sizes where very good and the food was Iovely

Great food and fab garden for the kids to play in.

Lovely pub. Food great and very reasonable.

Great food and great service, the specials and Sunday roast are top draw

Dirty, over priced, Low quality food.

Decent size portions, lacking in atmosphere, too echoey. Nice garden

Ordered fish and chips, menu said it was cod. Didn't look or taste like cod, a cheap alternative.

Lovely venue to have a drink and a meal. Lots of parking space available.

Lovely family run pub, very dog friendly!

Excellent staff and friendly atmosphere for Sunday lunch. A good menu, but no Sunday roast options for vegetarians. Could do with a few more vegetarian/vegan options on the menu. Car park on site. There is a play area for kids and discreet for them to run around.

Good pub, well kept beer and nice reasonably priced food

Absolutely lovely place! A great atmosphere, loads of parking, loads of space, great great food and dog friendly! A joy to visit. We will be going again 😊

We stopped for lunch and found the staff were very friendly and helpful the service was quick and efficient. I would recommend the food as it was delicious so well worth a visit. The garden is very large and there are plenty of tables outside to enjoy the sun and a large play house for children to enjoy.

Good place, kitchen open all day.. huge garden. Playground

Excellent atention !! The food is very good 😋

Very friendly staff, really dog friendly. Food was good too and easy to follow gluten free menu options. Had two gluten free deserts that weren't ice cream!
