The Hope & Champion - JD Wetherspoon in South Bucks

i've been going to the weatherspoons for a few years now and have never been more impressed by staff, usually are quite robotic and unfriendly but today Leo was incredibly helpful and interactive, had friendly chat and was incredibly polite and humorous, when my chips came cold he even said to let him know if the new chips was not up to standard and had no problem at all with replacing the cold chips ! definitely deserves recognition for his friendly demeanour and even a raise !! 5 star worker

Average witherspoon at a service station. It would be good if the kitchen just put enough chips on the plate before the food comes out of the kitchen instead of the waitress (who was great) needing to go back and ask for more chips. This has happened to me a few times and the last time the kitchen only put 12 chips on the plate.

Menu is incorrect. No Free drink specials and prices charged have not been updated. No longer £7.50 for burger chips and soft drink, now £10 for burger and chips with no drink. Wetherspoons should honour the menu as advertised.

Stopped off here before entering London. Had a breakfast, which for the price was reasonable. Simple things such as wiping down the tables so they weren't sticky, keeping the bottom less tea and coffee area clean and well stocked could make this a much more pleasant experience.

We were so excited to see a Wetherspoons at the service station. We enjoyed an evening meal & drinks on Saturday night as we stayed in the ibis next door. Our food was lovely & the place was very clean, tidy & the atmosphere was so relaxing. The barman Josh was amazing, he was so polite, friendly & chatty. He really made us feel at ease. He is a credit to your company. Please Thank him for us. ( The Peterborough fans from Bournemouth) Thank you.

Only place I've been happy to sit in and eat food at motorway service station in decades. Much more pleasant than the usual hard surface, echo chambers filled with noisy travellers in other service stations. Food is Wetherspoons, perfectly fine and tasty, but not cooked from scratch. Very welcome place to stop and eat for me. Wish there were more along M40 and M6.

Stopped here when M1 was shut so we had to detour. Lovely and airy inside, seating upstairs. Despite being attached to the very busy service area it was still quiet. Good menu,food arrived quickly. Will probably use this route more often !!

Placed our order from our table. Only one staff member, running around like a healess chicken. They had run out of eggs but could only have poached eggs🤷🏼‍♀️ which were as gard as boiled!!! Food turned up, not hot at all!

0 of 5 cask beers available. Very poor for a Wetherspoons. Only three staff, so consequently a very long wait to be served. Upstairs closed except for the toilets. Food was ok though.

Really nice, matey doesn't mince his words, food and service was great

Awful!!! Called in on the way to Twickenham today. There was not a clean table anywhere, plates, cups & glasses everywhere even the bar was messy. No eggs!!??? Coffee machine no coffee!! When the 'manager' was asked to look at it - horrendous attitude. Dirty cutlery, all sauce bottles practically empty, food passable, but the coleslaw has a skin on it!! All staff unfriendly & clearly missed the customer services training course!! The whole place was dirty & unhygienic, including the dirty toilets!! Been going here for years, will never go again!!

Plenty of seating upstairs and down. Reasonable prices and a good selection of brews.

£3.99 for a lovely breakfast.. Great customer service, and staff are very polite. Thank you.

It's a spoons. Quick food. Hot food. Good service.

Nice place to eat. However, the naan bread was like a crisp. Maybe I had it on a bad day but didn't seem busy.

Very good food great service staff very pleasant I would like to thank the young lady one of the staff how picked my phone up that I left on the table and came to me thank so much

Got to love a wetherspoons good food at a reasonable price

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this restaurant did not bump up their prices like most service station facilities. Not only that, the staff were friendly and very service oriented. This will be a regular stopping place from now on.

Of all the Wetherspoons I've been to, this place had the most delicious food! Unlike most Wetherspoons, there is no alcohol/non-alcohol set menu, but all the food we ordered was fresh and really delicious. Although there were no people when we visited, it was very quiet and cozy, so everyone in the group was satisfied :)

Something different..a spoons at a service station...our hotel was so overpriced it was ridiculous..so I went on Google and found the hope and champion nearby...food was very good as usual..slightly more expensive than a normal spoons by about a quid so nothing outrageous..parking is not an issue...added to favourites in case I'm over this way again...

Probably one of the nicer spoon's! Breakfast was very good!

A wide range of good value beers and food. Plenty of seating with an additional level upstairs. All areas are clean and it's child friendly. The staff are courteous and attentive. The toilets are up stairs but there are ground level facilities in the main concourse area next door. Dogs, except service dogs, are not permitted.

I had lovely meal at the hope and champion. The service was brilliant we ordered out meals and 10 mins later the meal was ready to eat. Very quick service brilliant

Ordered a Mango Monster Mash cocktail and a Coke for my friend through the app. After waiting 30 minutes, they brought a Monster Juice and a Pepsi instead. When we raised the issue, the manager (or supervisor) named Jammy was extremely rude and unhelpful . Totally understand it’s Wetherspoon, but basic courtesy and proper service shouldn't be too much to ask!

So I ordered breakfast via the app, waiting time for breakfast to arrive was 20 minutes. Ordered the large breakfast, it was missing the two eggs. I told the waitress as she was passing - she didn’t apologise but went off to fetch the eggs, she then tossed the plate with the eggs on and again didn’t apologise. The eggs were cold and not runny. Every item on the plate arrived cold. The bacon consisted of two shrivelled up rashers, there was one tiny mushroom, the beans came in a tiny dish. The toast was barely brown and cold, the hash browns were okay but cold and the sausages were fairly tasty BUT you guessed it, they were cold. Easily the worse breakfast I’ve ever had. I know it’s just the Wetherspoons but that’s not the point. It wasn’t even that busy either but even then I’d expect a breakfast that had warm components to it. Awful, terrible, shocking. I wish if of taken a photo now. For £9.35 with a drink it’s shocking.

Person at the till absolutely rude and trying to look cool with that attitude. I thick bit of racist.

Chaotic but organised breakfast was very good

Ramen noodle bowl the best way for getting anything resembling veg!!and it's very good it's really the only thing o go in spoons for

I am extremely satisfied with my visit today at The hope and champion weatherspoons. The food was absolutely outstanding, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection, and not only was the food amazing, the table service and staff were so lovely and extremely helpful. I can't wait for my next visit, thank you!

If you can see past the irony of having a Wetherspoon in a motorway services, then it is a really solid spoons, one of the best I've been to for a little while, even. Plenty of seating, clean facilities, often quiet, and quick service. There are some lovely booth seats upstairs that give a commanding view of the services below.

Jolly and helpful staff. Clean place with nice outside for good days. Had Allday Brunch good value £11. Looks good, had all nice elements but lukewarm spoilt the experience. Previously cooked bacon was dry and tepid. Sausages & eggs were good. Beans had to ask to be heated up. Chips cooked freshly so crispy and hot; they were only part that was above room temp. If whole lot had come on a hot plate and all elements were hot I would have enjoyed more and given higher rating. Because of that id say it was adequate.

A possibly racist manager who didn't ask any of the white costumers for ID, but did ask the 26 year old brown man and woman. To makes matters worse, he only did it after selling the beer, when already sat at a table, and then proceeded to remove the beer

Traditional breakfast with extra 2 x black pudding was excellent and £16 including 2 refill coffees is amazing value. The atmosphere can be interesting let’s put it at that 😉 the staff are fantastic!

Just what we needed ...a nice light breakfast and hot drink with free refills...very reasonable prices and quick friendly service.

Good breakfast at average prices. The staff is friendly and helpful. Ambiance is way better than the typical fast food chains.

Stayed in Ibis Hotel next door so didn't have far to go for a drink and breakfast

Excellent food and service. Thanks to all the staff.

A unique service station experience. A unique wetherspoons experience. A unique experience.

An oasis of calm away from marauding groups of school kids at this busy motorway services. Standard weatherspoon fayre served quickly by friendly staff. not quite high street prices but still sensible. A 10inch wrap, chips and a soft drink for £5.99. Clean tidy spoons

Came as usual to have a burger but ordered two cheese burgers which it shouldn’t be served in the worst restaurant on earth! The burgers came out completely burnt with nothing else apart for the buns. A complete offence for what you pay for. The manager wants to offer me a bowl of chips afterwards as a form of compensation which it gets even worst! Very unfortunate because the place is great, just needs changing management e certainly the Chef ! Not coming back!!!

Absolutely dreadful food. Mixed grill where all meats were piled on top of each other, completely over cooked, all pieces tough and looked and tasted the same. Overall the dish looked like everything had just been thrown on the plate. To make matters worse the food was luke warm at best. Chicken Strip Burger where the bun could be used to knock someone out it was that hard. They did change the top of the bun but not the bottom. Stone cold. I thought that the days when food served like this was the norm were long gone and in fairness the food at EVERY other Weatherspoons is head and shoulders above the NO Hope and ANYTHING but Champion. Save your money and eat somthing from one of the other franchises at Beaconsfield services It only gets 1 star as unable to give it zero, the food served was really close to being unfit for consumption

Great Food and location. Very handy for stop off on route to Heathrow for break and food.

Breakfast in Wetherspoons always great and affordable

Staff members were really lovely. Food was great too

I don't have high expectations of spoons but this was really bad. The food looked like it had been revived from 1982. The floor was filthy. Just a mistake in all. Should have gone to literally any other outlet.

Got to be the worst pint of Abbott around 3 visits always been poor.....wine tasting off taste even took a novice beer drinker with me and without being asked,he asked me is there something wrong with this pint. Don't have to worry about me returning... but there again don't suppose they would be really bothered.service station... always have another punter. Upside food is always fine Perhaps cask marque should pay a visit.

Thanks to Mark who was very friendly and gave us excellent service.

A spoons in roadside services? Well, I suppose not everyone going through is driving. Nice and open pub with a smaller area upstairs overlooking the water - a wall of glass providing heaps of natural light. The staff, as usual, were excellent: very cheerful. The fish and chips was wonderful with the fish cooked in an almost tempura batter. The Guinness was excellent.

Helpful staff. Fish and chips was good and excellent value. Very pleasant sitting outside at the back.

Stopped by before our flight not the cleanest of places the food is typical weather spoon ut the staff were lovely

A motorway gem especially if you're in the Ibis lodge. Staff couldn't do enough for a weary traveller especially Ellie 😉

The wetherspoons at a service station. Lovely staff. Restricted menu. Small toilets upstairs.

It is what it is - a Wetherspoons at a motorway service area! But for us we needed to “fill up” before heading towards Wembley … and I as the driver needed a break. The food was brought out quickly.. and we were soon on our way. (Food cheaper than at Wembley too!)

Nice grub,great service, All staff we're friendly with Very Good Customer service 🙂

The Hope and Champion at Beaconsfield service stop offers a great dining experience. The pub's air conditioning provides a comfortable atmosphere. We started with halloumi fries, which were delicious. For mains, my wife had fish and chips, and I had the chicken basket. Both dishes were excellent. The service was nice and relaxed, making our visit very enjoyable. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a good meal and a pleasant break.

Brilliant pub,great service and staff..lots of room to eat and drink

Quick stop for food on our way home from Heathrow airport.

Wetherspoon at a services what is not to like.

I got bitten in one of the restaurant will not be going there again

1 hour wait and then food came out still Frozen, couldn't believe it. Never again

Had to wait over an hour for food. Originally told 45 minutes. After waiting more than an hour both my own and my partner’s chips were cold. Clearly left out for a while, on top of that, the wrong cheese was added to my burger. One issue after another and no real apology until I chased up the wait time more than once. Terrible service and was definitely not worth the wait.

I would say avoid this establishment like the plague…. But we literally had the plague a few years ago and no one avoided that…. (Covid) Moderately busy by Wetherspoons standard, empty compared to your city centre spoons on a Friday night. We have been waiting 50 minutes for a pizza and nuggets, when it finally arrived the pizza was like a large poppadom with tinned tomatoes and a bit of cheese on top. Utterly disgraceful for the inflated service station prices they charge! Do not dine here, go to McDonald’s or the weird Mexican place, even purchasing a sandwich from WHSmiths would have been a better experience.

The usual Wetherspoons experience - reasonably priced food and drinks and efficient if impersonal service. The pub is in its own self contained unit which is nicely fitted out and it's much more preferable eating in here rather than having to sit in the noisy food court. On my last visit the breakfast sandwich I had here was fine, and the unlimited hot drinks are a pretty good deal. I've never tried the beer here but there's usually a couple of local ales on. Good place to stop for a meal.

Don't bother dining here. We tried at the pizza express, who said they had a 40 min wait for food, so we opted for wetherpsoons instead, assuming it would be faster. Wish we had stuck to pizza express now as we've waited nearly an hour for the world's most over cooked and equally undercooked pizza??? And a sad looking wrap. Appalling. Even for service station standards. The Indian or Mexican are far better in both quality and service. I wild have sent the pizza back had I not been starving hungry and in a rush to continue my now delayed journey.

Considerably more expensive than a regular Wetherspoon, plus the portion size is smaller. The food was overcooked and the chips tasted of rancid oil that's well overdue being changed. Also the toilets are inadequate.

Small and bland breakfast. Only bacon was tasty. Coffee awful. To top that I had egg shell on crunch on as a bonus.when wanted to complain there was no one about. See photos attached

The manageress is certainly on something strong this morning, she's super hyper, rough sounding shouty loud, twitchy and kicked us out because we haven't food. We won't be back until she's calmed down.

Light & airy.Nice to have a bit of daylight in the place. We had breakfast there at about 10.30am.Not that many people inside as it was a Beautiful morning.Sunny. People were out on the patio at the back.

Good breakfast, great coffee. Busy but didn't have to wait long for food.

Stopped off for a drink to break up journey.

Manager said we weren’t ordering anything anything and aggressively tried to make us leave. We’d spent about £30 on lunch, drinks and snacks, and were still drinking our drinks. Have seen other bad reviews about a manager… if you work here I’m sure you can guess who they are Other staff really nice

Upstairs seating always closed! they don’t want to clean it so packed out down stairs

Normally a good enough place for a quick bite to eat, but the last time we went there it was under par. The burgers we had were both way over cooked, the buns were solid, the chips were sparce. There were no pizzas either. The staff were good, but there were too few of them meaning there was a long wait for some at the bar.

Absolutely awful venue. The bar manager is an absolute idiot.

We stop here for breakfast as a family pretty regularly after an overnight drive from Scotland, and we always like the look of Leon...sadly our option has always only been McDonald's or Greggs...we finally saw Leon looking open 06:10 to be told "no, we don't open till 7". Staff obviously don't want to be working this early, well I'm sorry but that's the job you're in.

Curry was excellent as was the chicken pasta. Reasonable prices for a service area. Clean facilities too. Well done all.

The worst waiter 😡 ruined my morning with his terrible attitude! 😤 He clearly has no idea how to do his job. Why on earth did you hire him in the first place?

We had to wait ages for someone to man the bar and service us. It took the cleaner to go find someone and then the prices! Not a normal weatherspoons. Such a rip off.

Lovely Wetherspoons set within beaconsfield services. Usual menu and friendly staff. Out the back there’s a nice beer garden area overlooking a lake. Order using the app to get food delivered to your table. Coffee/tea is refillable. Good children’s menu. Only downside are the prices, expect to pay 25% more than a typical town centre Wetherspoons, hence only 4-star review.

A very cosy place to get a bite and drink. Enough seating area inside and plenty of space outside. It is better when the weather is good and a little hotter. There is a lake with ducks and playing area for kids to keep busy. A nice pathway for a short walk. You can easily relax for half an hour before going forward with your journey.

We were here for dinner and it was inadequate, even McDonalds is better, fries is really bad, steak was stiff. Really bad pub, they cannot pour a beer, just don’t go there, they should close this pub it’s disgusting.

The food was borderline warm, you might need to ask them to zap ⚡ it. The coffee machines was down to only one. Also it was barely hot enough.

Very slow service. Took 35 minutes for food on a very quiet Saturday afternoon. Some parts of the meal were very cold. Timings need improving.

Had a large breakfast but it was cold. Have had warmer meals from a takeout. Obviously got seved food that had been standing for a while and not kept to temperature.

Room for improvement Breakfast muffin came warm and delicious however the breakfast I ordered for the person I was with came stone cold. This is not what you expect of a breakfast with beans sausage bacon and egg. These items are typically supposed to be served hot as advertised. Didn't feel worth the price but will give another chance in the future.

It's a 'Spoons', what are you expecting, The Ritz !

After all the negative reviews, we had a great meal this evening. Very quick service of dr8nks and food, well done we will be back !!

I live locally and have popped into the H & C many times. I popped in last Saturday for a gourmet steak. Unfortunately said steak though cooked properly was of poor quality, gristly and fatty. Baked potato was absolutely dry and the tomato and peas were mediocre to average. Onion rings were perfect. Will pop back in a few months to see if quality has returned to its old, high, standard.

A popular venue but lacking in atmosphere, some soft background music would have been better. Nobody at the bar when we arrived and had to wait a few minutes for someone to appear. We ordered through the website which worked well. Food was good and arrived in a reasonable time.

Just had a beer, great price considering the location, close to Heathrow etc.

Lovely breakfast set us up for the days travel

Had to park up at the services on a Friday ( ran out of driving time to get home) Popped in and grabbed some simple and delicious food. Very busy with helpful staff on FOH. Keep up the good work.

Mixed Grill was nice, and my partner had chicken which she said was very nice

Had a relaxing breakfast with great service wheelchair friendly

A great alternative not found in service stations and good value.

Didn't even order food, the app wouldn't work due to this location not serving drinks with meals. Prices are higher than all other locations without drinks.

Food was really nice, the cleanest glasses in a Wetherspoons you will ever see for a bottle Moretti. The staff are so friendly. One of the best spoons I've ever been in! Highly recommend!

Butter ration. Only allowed one butterpat peer slice of toast. The waiter cleaned a table using a broom, the table was not quoted down after

Staff are just there and the food was stone cold, when i complained the responce was well this is a pub on a motor way sir, I'll never waste my money on this one again, as a weather Spoons fan i feel really let down at this place, there is so much other food options available at the same service, just don't bother

Toilet was not 500 miles away Chips were raw but I was too embarrassed to say anything A group of drunk people provided ample entertainment Also the hot drink machine kept cleaning itself every few minutes and it was wonderful to watch
