The King Denham in South Bucks

Stumbled across The king after a family celebration at a nearby hall and WOW so glad we did , went for a few drinks but the amazing smell of the freshly cooked food meant we had to try some , it was without doubt some of the tastiest Indian food ive ever had , cooked beautifully and fresh still sizzling when served to us we were all blown away by the standard, will be making a 80 mile round trip asap to come back and try some more dishes, well done everyone involved with this fantastic pub , also do a great pint of guinness which is a bonus .

punjabi chicken curry was on point, and service was top notch, thank you nishu, Ash and raj! 🙏✨️

Our first visit to this place, and we were thoroughly impressed! The food was great. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We can’t wait to come back!

Great food and service very attentive. The grilled dishes are brilliant and really recommend the chicken biryani. Such a great find.

Great food, good service. Nishu was excellent!

Found this pub by accident. Had to use the restroom and decided to stay for a delicious Indian meal and great atmosphere! Highly recommend the pub!

Great customer service from Nishu! She allowed us to order last minute! Fantastic food and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Nishu served us with a big smile on her face even though we arrived 10 minutes before the kitchen closed. The food came promptly and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere tonight was very lively and cheerful even at 11pm. The lollipop chicken is a 10/10 banger! Thoroughly enjoyed.

The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavour and cooked to perfection". Highly recommended.

Loved the food and service, Nishil is a superstar!

Amazing food - some of the best Indian food eaten even compared to India.

Poor service from one lady with chipped nails. Not a great way for your food to be served. Chicken Bhuna was ordered but it was definitely not one that was served, no tomatos and full of rock solid peppers. I enquired about it but there was only shock that I thought it wasn’t a bhuna and no replacement. Took 25 mins to order the food and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Server rudely told us to wait to be served whilst she cleared tables when we had waited a while already. Sad as the pub is lovely, wouldn’t go back for the food or service.

my daughter ordered a chicken bhuna and this was definitely not a chicken bhuna she complained as a bhuna is made with tomatoes. She got told this is how it’s made, they didn’t even offer her something else I had a chicken curry. It was more like a chicken vindaloo so won’t be going back there.

Really good food. Good service.

A jewel in the crown , an outstanding public house with a very welcoming landlord .

Great food, very quiet on the Monday we arrived. The Indian food was top-notch, we really enjoyed it, lots of choice too. An excellent vegetarian menu. We like spicy food and this was a little bit spicy, so we enjoyed it more. The bill was pleasantly surprising, not too much at all.

Really nice chilled out vibe. Delicious food - we had masala Chips, masala Paneer, Masala Chops.. we love our Masala… and glad as this place does them well. Pardeep gave us a warm service.

Great food, great great people Thanks Pardeep and Raj.

Don’t often make a review but, The King pub in Denham warm with a very friendly service. So welcoming, especially for my 84-year-old dad, who is always well taken care of. The staff go above and beyond, ensuring his drinks are brought to him and assisting him to his lift when it's time to leave. Their attentiveness and kindness truly make a difference and I know as his son he he well looked after and safe.

The food was excellent, and the service was very good too.

Nishu was superb with her service !! Great food

Hi live in Miami went to the king Dunham had a very good time food was brilliant was look after by Nishu I am pj from Miami

Very good experience at the King Denham. Nishu was great. Definitely recommend.

Food is on point, crispy chicken wings are the one!!! Atmosphere is brilliant, pool table is also brilliant, all in all, highly recommended place.

Nishu was a very good waiter and the food was amazing.

Lovely little find in Denham! Food is fresh and tasty. The Wings & Masala Chips are a must!

Utterly sensational and authentic punjabi food. Top spot, a must visit!

Bushy was our waitress , fantastic

My Birthday celebrated at The King Denham in Saturday 24th August Nishu was a great host and looked after us all night

Mishi the host was extremley helpful

Nishu was really welcoming and we felt at home. She gave us some good options and recommendations.

Nishu was amazing, top class service with a comforting and warm welcome. Very knowledgable with food options aiding the experience :)

Went here on a Sunday at 6pm, restaurant was quiet but the bar area was busy. The food was amazing, it was cooked fresh as it came out as it was cooked, not brought out in one go when you know some of it sat int he side then for a while. Best mixed grill I have had Ina. While and the chicken wings were to die for. The garlic naan was so good too. The service was excellent, will definitely recommend for the indian starters. We don’t have a main as we for full on starters. Very impressive food, good prices too.

Quite a small, hidden gem of a pub

1st time here... Just me & my Wife on our Aniversary. Normally go to AQ. Food was excellent, same with the Atmosphere & Service. Will definitely come again with the rest of the Family.

Very quick visit as there is no beer on sale only lager

Excellent Lamb starter tender and delicious mixed grill good. Customers a little rudimentary, bit like the staff but overall very good!

A pleasant experience every time!

Food was delicious: every dish we tried tasted unique with the right amount of spice. It's a smaller pub than usual, but the advantage of this is the owner (Raj) spends a massive portion of his time looking after his customers as well as pouring all the pints. He was a great host. Strong selection of beer also. Will definitely be coming back again. Great value for money all around.

Enjoyed the experience. The staff made us feel welcome, food absolutely superb and great customer service. All the food tasted delicious. Never seen clean plates from my family. Thats why I know it is good. Thank you.

the food is amazing, they have a restaurant at the back.. but you can eat in the bar .....in the bar they have a pool table....I had chicken tikka and massala chips omg!!! you must try them

Lovely little place out of the way, really great food and service

Lovely staff, welcoming and friendly. Food we ordered was tasty.

First time here, amazing atmosphere, lots of parking, great prices and deals on drinks and the food is spot on! Will be back with the family!

Amazing and super authentic Punjabi food! Also, the owners are operators - so you can tell they actually care and put significant effort into customer service. Great staff too, highly recommend and will definitely come back! They’re also dog friendly!

Delicious food, we were a party of 7 and every dish was delicious, highly recommend. The masala fries were the best I’ve had!

Did a takeaway and did impress! Was a great takeaway, great punjabi flavours! Highly recommended if in the area, the sheek kebabs and butter chicken are a must try! Keep it up, next time will eat in for sure!

Great food, really nice we had a mix grill, butter chicken, masala chips and garlic naan - all delicious. Great service. More of a guys pub than somewhere to go with the family.

Not bad.. Indian be expensive these days.. middle of the road for me..

Amazing food. Popped in with a pal for a quick mixed grill and it was unbelievable. Quality and price cannot be beaten. Lovely welcoming staff too. Will definitely be back!

Amazing atmosphere. Landlord was great. Proper community FAMILY pub with delicious food. Would definitely be returning.

Food was reasonable. Service was completely diabolical! Firstly get told by the first waitress that food won’t be served before 3:30 (had booked for 1:30). Then the server kept changing and we kept getting pushed to order (despite assurances that we had the table till 4:30). Wouldn’t recommend, ruined our day. I hope they improve their customer service in future.

Perfect night will be back, staff was very attentive.

Myself and 3 friends came here for dinner. Service was initially really good even though we were sat in the bar area as the restaurant area was closed for the evening due to only 2 bookings which was fine for us. The starters were nice and the server was attentive... We ordered mains, which sadly lacked the taste and quality of the starters... We ordered the Dahl, Punjabi Chicken and Chana masala... When we were asked "how was your food" we provided feedback, specifically around the chana masala which was undercooked and over-spiced.... rather than taking the feedback in the manner it was given, the server rudely retorted "Well, I think my chef knows what he is doing, he has been doing it a long time...." I would suggest don't ask customers how was their food and then tell them they are basically wrong if you don't agree...!! The service went downhill from there on in... The server never returned to ask if we wanted the dessert menus or additional drinks. We paid the bill (£160) and left to continue our evening in a local pub. We would have have gone back another time but for the sake of £7.95 (the price of the Chana masala) this establishment has lost future customers due to the unnecessary attitude of not liking what they were told about one of their dishes. We sadly won't be back.

Great food, great service. Definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, great food - would definitely come back

Visited The King Denham with some family, the food was delicious and the staff are very friendly! Worth the visit!

Excellent food with a great atmosphere. The food and people really make this place an amazing pub to visit. Friendly staff who are attentive and very accommodating. The food was the best we have had in a very long time, cooked to perfection and everything is so fresh.

Had the misfortune to eat there about 3 weeks ago. I can only describe it as an Indian Faulty Towers. Lead into a dark room, and asked, if we wanted the lights on ! Should have released we were in for an experience, we can only laugh about it now. Food very average, lack of plates and missing cutlery. Drinks arrived sporadically. Served my a friendly lady, who was trying to teach a new member/ friend of staff the ropes. Nether had a clue. And the cherry on the top of the cake, it was extremely expensive. Plenty of space in the car park 🤔 Thanks you for your reply. We all live fairly locally. And this seems a pretty common view. Our visit occurred on 7/ 10/ 2023, about 5.30pm.

I have visited alot of Indian restaurants and most cannot compare to high quality in East London. However this is the first establishment which I believe can rival East London for lamb chops. I thoroughly enjoyed the friendly service and atmosphere. Food wise - the lamp chops, chilli mushrooms, chicken lollipop and prawns were very tasty and packed with flavour. Alot of credit to the chef and bar staff.

Nice little pub! Good choice of pints, shame there's no beef on the menu, but I totally respect that. Free parking as well

Turned up en mass , told em there would be 15 of us but there was more like 30 , very accommodating , nice people , in the middle of nowhere but very popular. Buttermilk chicken and garlic naan was the nicest bit of Indian food I've ever tasted and the fish starter things were very nice also.

Amazing food and friendly service! now if only they could make the restaurant dog friendly… ;) will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Thank you so much 😊

I would highly recommend this pub, the food was great and table service went above and beyond expectation, the friendly and attentive staff were so nice, thank you for a lovely evening!

Great little find, amazing food and very friendly atmosphere!

Absolutely lovely service from Solange. She was super attentive and was helpful to all our needs. Very kind too! Food is outstanding and proper authentic! Everything was well presented and the atmosphere was perfect. Will visit again for sure with my family. Thank you

Amazing food and great friendly service. Highly recommended. Really tasty food with good size portions too. Starters were enough to fill us up so will be going back to try the curries soon👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Good parking facilities definitely a bonus.

Having lived in Amersham for 10 years + i always looked outside for a Mixed Grill and heard about the King Denham. Located in Denham the King Denham is away from the hustle and bustle. It has its own atmosphere and vibe. I have been to a few pub /indian restaurant and this is by far the best. A typical pub atmosphere but out back ia great space for group eating and i also spotted a. banqueting area. The staff are Attentive and know the dishes well. We looked around had a few drinks n ready to order. It was just and another table so not busy at 8pm. We opted to order all same time with drinks too. Mixed Grill: Sizzling on skillet, Tasty with a great variety of meats, even the classic onions cooked. Amritsari Fish: Wow although fried it was flakey white fish and crispy. Wings: Crispy and perfect. Chicken Madras: Flavour on Flavour good ration of meat Fish Curry: Beautifully flavoured, fragrant and tasted amazing. We tried a few Naans, piping hot and fluffy. My new Grill n Glass place until i open my own. Amar Rai and the team did brilliant. Great Food, Service, Quality and Pricing. Crown the King

Amazing food and service - The food was spot on and I can’t wait to go back with the family. The atmosphere in the pub is so kid friendly and the service is amazing. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars all the way! The fact that you also have parking is an added bonus.

Very warm and friendly atmosphere wonderful food and customised our food for us to help for religious purposes

Great place in Denham Village. Plenty of parking, fantastic service, excellent fresh and spicy Indian food. We were celebrating a family birthday and Anita and the team were wonderful.

Great attention to detail. Aaron and Anita went the extra mile to make the experience exceptional. The chilli mushrooms were incredible!!!!

Amazing service and delicious food provided recently for a local event. Everything was spot on, service was fantastic beginning to end. It was a good experience liaising with the manager Raj, about our event and our catering needs. He was great at ensuring he was clear on our requirements and it was executed perfectly on the day. Everyone enjoyed the food, highly recommend. Thanks so much, we’ll definitely be back!

Owner Aaron was very accommodating to us during our visit. Food was fantastic, I had the chicken Madras with the butter naan. Would highly recommend to anyone!

So-so the waitress was wonderful and the food wasn’t bad either. Will definitely be back here again

Definitely the king. Great food and a great vibe.

You will not get better, lovely food, lovely people… lovely atmosphere xxx

Amazing food, great service and a fantastic night out :) Amo one of the owners is a legend, we really had a great time

Had a GREAT curry, fantastic starters, rice and naans and the service was awesome, considering we were a big group of 12 people. Would 100% come again.

The best time at the king in denham! Food was delicious, service fantastic - highly recommend :)

The chicken pakoda was very dry. The service for the food was a tad slow. The food from the Tandoor and chat were very good.

I ordered a chicken jalfrezi and pilau rice and it was so delicious! The guy who served us, Aaron, was really hospitable and checked on us at all times. Best Indian i’ve had in a while! Definitely recommend coming here with family with a great atmosphere

Lovely pub with amazing staff and food, 10/10 would recommend. Highlights are definitely the chicken lollipop and aloo tikki.

Banging food and service! Played some pool whilst vibing to good music! A must visit!

Great local pub, great food and always great service. Definitely recommend in the area

Modern bar, (it's not a pub), delicious spicy Indian food, plenty free parking, pool table, TV screens, lively atmosphere.

Staff are so accommodating! Solange especially was the most hospitable and lovely lady :) food also is amazing!

Good food, clean glasses, awesome staff and owner, customers seem nice too. Food is spectacular, but portions are slightly on the smaller side,

Not being from the area, we popped in after a local event. Staff were super friendly. We popped in for a drink but the Indian food smelt so good we ordered dinner. So pleased we did, it was super tasty. Will visit again next year 😁

We went for first time, loved the food mix grill with garlic naans. It’s was great atmosphere there. We will be back again

Service was great but food - not so much

Upon arrival we were given a warm and friendly welcome from Aaron, who owns and runs this establishment. He gave us good advice on the menu choices and the food was spot on. The food quality was perfect, good freshly prepared food full of flavour. I can honestly say no two dishes tasted the same. The service was excellent. Aaron offered to open up the restaurant seating area however we decided to stay in the pub section. I have uploaded images from the restaurant, which can be booked for private events. I'll definitely be doing this in the future. Keep up the great work Aaron and the team at The King Denham and I look forward to dining there again in the near future.

Great pub with a wide variety of beers, and the food was amazing, the best in town! I would highly recommend if you are in the area. Also The Staff were very welcoming and accommodating! I will definitely be returning for a few cold ones and a curry very soon!

Great pub and the food was delicious. We had the mix grill, king prawns and tandoori fish and all were cooked to perfection. Definitely coming back soon.

It's a very nice quiet place food is decent. Very clean and tidy.

Good Punjabi pub LOCAL to us I WAS shocked to find how scrumptious 😋 the hotdog and chips were they were banging they hit the spot Although I was very full after a pint of Coke Zero the portions of chips and the size of the hotdog were not rubbish but amazing ! Huge portions for a kids meal and under a tenner for u lads out there I was stuck to finish the fries after a long battle of bread 2 glasses of ice water I will note to come for lunch another day as it was a good filler and atmosphere for the dollar The pool table was good here however the air was not very good the grey one to be specific I was frazzled to the shock of it not performing as well as the generic one to show this even my brother tried it and he agreed that was tested twice that’s reliable results right there overall fantastic pub

The King is a hidden treasure and have been coming here for sometime in the past, but, so much more recently. The food is excellent, from the quality, spices, tandoori taste, down to the portions. The staff have been incredibly accommodating and go the extra mile whenever they can. Highly recommend for anyone who wants some good Indian food, drinks, and great atmosphere/service!

Have been here a few times over the last few years but twice in the last couple of weeks. We needed a separate table due to having to shield a family member and the owners were extremely accommodating. Food is absolutely top drawer, both mains and starters. Service is excellent and all staff are very friendly. Great place highly recommend for families and friends

Had a fantastic evening at The King with friends. Great food and atmosphere. You can even request your own playlist. Would definitely return. Thank you for a great evening.

The mixed grill is hands down the best I've had in a long time! Food and drink is reasonably priced and it has a nice family atmosphere.
