The Nags Head Country Inn & Restaurant in Chiltern

Our stay was fantastic. The service was impeccable - the most attentive and friendly staff. (Helen was amazing!) The food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Great stay and food at the Nags Head. Definitely will use again .

A frustrating review to write. The place is lovely, the rooms are really spacious and well equipped, loads of period character, the bed was really comfy and the welcome was really nice by the staff too. The breakfast was superb in the morning! Unfortunately the room we were in was very dusty, the bathroom wasn't all that clean with water marks all over and a heavily stained toilet, the coffee machine was dirty and needed a cleaning cycle running on it, and there was a lot of glass fronted furniture in the room that was cracked or smashed. It's a shame to drop a star as with improved housekeeping it would have been 5 stars and an excellent experience.

Arriving at about 6pm after collecting my granddaughter from school. We entered the place only to be kept waiting while the bar girl deemed it more important to operate the computer system than speak to us. We did get a table. We ordered our drinks followed by the food and then were left there for an hour before the food arrived. No explanation was offered. In the meanwhile later arrivals were being served there food. The food was over valued and pretentious with little content. My meal of salmon consisted of one piece of fish 3 small potatoes a few bits of greens and some sauce to make the large plate look full.( £25). I bought 4 pieces like that in tescos for £9.40. They even added a 10% service charge that I refused to pay. My daugher has use this place several times before and commented that it has gone downhill since the change of ownership. She will not be going back.

Had dinner here and was very pleased with ambience, service and standard of food. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and delicious wine in this beautiful old country Inn. Highly recommended.

I really lovely meal, and we all enjoyed the food. I differently would return.

We came for Sunday lunch and it was delicious. We will definitely be back. Great food and service, and a beautiful location

Lovely location - staff friendly but I would say the food could have been better - the Yorkshire puddings were dry and tasteless - hardly any gravy - I prefer a little jug to pour myself - the green beans had not seen any hot water - I don’t like them overcooked but they were almost raw - one half carrot - red cabbage lovely - to say that you are allowed a time for your meal we had to wait longer than I would like for the food - therefore on the whole I thought it too expensive for what it was.

I love this pub! So rare to find a lovely, friendly pub serving reasonably priced, high-quality food with so many great options for those of us who care about our health. Even the kids menu is excellent with everything made from scratch. A huge thank you to all the team at the Nag’s Head!

Lovely pub with great food and drinks. The outside seating in the garden is stunning and the staff are very accommodating and friendly! Helen and Cat served us, great service. This is our new favourite spot 😋

Absolutely love this pub! Sweet decoration, lovely outdoor area with a cosy teepee and the food is sooo delicious. The service is also amazing, Helen and Cat were very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend!! 😊

Amazing experience at this pub! The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. The atmosphere was lovely, especially sitting in the tipi with the log fire—it added such a cosy touch. The roast was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Tastless food untrained staff, has defenitly gone down hill from our last visit

It was our second visit. Our first visit the food was ok but expensive, lamb was tasteless and the wine we wanted with dinner came after we finished eating. We decided to try again tonight and again felt the food was overpriced for what it was and felt the service was terrible. We were left unattended for long periods having to try and catch staff rather than being asked, our dessert order was wrong, our waiter spent half an hour serving friends without checking on us..it's a nice place to go for a drink but we won't come for a meal again.

We sat in the garden under the wisteria for shade. We all enjoyed our roast lunches which were reasonably priced and were pleased to have table service outside.

We went for a Sunday lunch. Menu said lamb leg, ended up with a tastless lamb shoulder. Beans were well under cooked. My wife's meal was beef and was good although again the beans were very under. Service is great with very friendly staff. A bit more knowledge about the Nespresso pods available would be good. Overall it has been 5 yeara since we were there last and probablt another 5 till we go again

Lovely pub and restaurant, great outside space, lovely decor.

Visited here for the first time with my family today. Lovely location and had heard good reviews. Upon entering immediately greeted and shown to our pre -booked table. I’ll start with the food - we all had a roast, 2 beef, 1 lamb and 1 vegan. I have to say it was delicious. All of us really enjoyed the meal. Although for the price I would suggest perhaps a little more meat, the beef dishes definitely had a fair bit more than the lamb! Lovely crispy roast potatoes, delicious veg and very tender meat. The service was great from a few of the wait staff - the two gentleman who first served our table and a young lady who very kindly got us some more gravy (twice!) However the waitress who brought the meals to our table was very abrupt and all the plates went down on the table with a thud! No pleasantries and very much felt like we were putting her out. When we asked for the vegan gravy we were told there wasn’t any. It was only when we questioned it that we were brought some. Perhaps this waitress was having a bad day, but it did put a bit of a damper on a family meal, and this is not cheap pub grub. There’s one thing being busy and apologising for wait times etc, but rudeness at the table does not make you want to return. Shame really as so many positives.

Fantastic Sunday lunch - fresh, crisp veggies, delicious roast potatoes and a great vegan wellington, followed by a delicious parfait! We will definitely be back.

Very helpful and attentive staff. Food lovely. All good.

Great Room,Fantastic Service,Wonderfull Staff.

Really enjoyed our food and the setting in the marquee but several serving staff thought it was ok to ignore us. Doesn’t make you feel welcome or valued. Probably won’t come again, there are plenty of other places to eat, Andrew

Popped in for the first time. 10/10 Food / 10/10 Service. Ps, we’re really sorry that we forgot to settle those half pints! Be back soon!

My friend and I had lunch at the Nags Head yesterday and are returning customers. We found a lovely table beneath the wisteria area in the spacious garden. As it was so hot we eschewed the main courses and decided to share some of the small plates. We ordered the tomato salad, the croquettes and the bruschetta. The single piece of bruschetta was fine; but the salad was in a ramekin sized bowl and there were only 3 croquettes ( which were tasty nonetheless.) Still hungry, we decided to order the cheeseboard, but that consisted of just one piece of bread ( halved ) and only 3 cheeses; plus pickle and some grapes (?). So we left still hungry and kind of wishing we'd had the fish and chips! The young lad who delivered the food was great but was busy serving behind the bar as well. We received no attention from the waitresses and no offers to bring us more drinks.

Excellent food. Decor & service felt very 80's

Lovely location. Great Food. Great service. Perfect

Lovely meal at the Nag’s Head while visiting the area recently. Friendly helpful staff, good food - a very pleasant pub with a nice atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Husband and i went there yesterday to celebrate my birthday and oh my.... Ambience was lovely, cozy and relaxed, service was excellent however our foods specially mine was mediocre. I had grilled beef burger with chorizo and it was very very very dry, i was expecting that'll be a juicy burger, like when you give it a big bite the juiceness will just dripping on the plate , unfortunately that didnt happen, however my husband enjoyed his catch of day, which we were puzzled as the waitress said, its trout fish but it came out salmon , good thing it's wild salmon😊. That was delish 🤗We, also ordered a bottle of Malbec red wine from Argentina which helps to complimenting our foods. All in all, Impeccable service ,but food weren't so good. Oh, forgot to mention our soup of the day, it was carrots with grilled peppers. Its just okay.

Food generally good, main courses not as good as starters and desserts but ok. The chef still won't offer apple sauce with the pork - really don't understand why not! Service very mixed, mostly helpful and friendly but staff were often talking yo each other and not looking at the tables to see if anyone needed attention. There didn't seem to be much management going on! However, it's a nice place to go with a very pleasant atmosphere.

Fantastic Sunday roast. Lovely pub and good service. Good location for a stroll before/after lunch too

Jess, was amazing, bit short of staff and she managed brilliantly 👏. Food was superb ! Worth a visit. G

Had a great meal, the service was friendly and excellent. Will be back again soon.

Love the Nags Head been a couple of times but recently surprised our children (6 between us) that we had got married the day before . Everyone at the Nags Head helped in creating the surprise and it was perfect. The food is fantastic, all staff are welcoming and helpful. They went out of their way to make our special occasion extra special. Can’t recommend highly enough. Did I say the food is excellent 😋😂

We had an excellent lunch here. Carefully thought out menu kept Mum, Dad and 14 year old daughter happy. Enjoyed mussels; venison pie and burger. Just a shame we couldn't manage a dessert. And staff friendly and attentive.
