The Oak & Saw Village Inn in South Bucks

We stumbled across this little gem of a pub online while staying locally during a four day trip to the Windsor Area. The reviews looked good so thought we'd give it a go and so glad we did. We were surprised how quiet it was. We had the Gammon and the Scampi, followed by the Treacle sponge and Sticky toffee pudding. All freshly cooked and delicious. Would definitely return if we come back this way. Lovely local pub x

The chips and fish were fantastic. Our host Amber was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We were so pleased . Couldn’t ask for a better experience

Well after being rejected by the snobby gastro pub next to the Thames partly are fault for not booking, we ventured to plan B to the oak and saw. well what a pleasure to have found this charming oasis excellent greetings and accommodating service from the politest Charly, together with well-presented excellent food and drink, all at reasonable prices delved by the cheerful northern landlady. Unmistakably standards driven by love and passion, to upheld high standards in the quaint friendly house situated in a beautiful village. we had landed accidently in a wonderful place. A visit, you will not be disappointed.

Found this place by chance online whilst looking for a countryside walk. Looked at the menu and booked as it had lots of veggie choices. In the end, most of us had the Sunday roast! The veg were especially good, including cauliflower cheese which is usually an extra. The waitress offered for the one veggie to also have the cauliflower cheese with her wellington which was a great addition. We all had puddings and enjoyed these too! There was a lovely buzz in the pub without it being noisy. Thank you for a great experience and we will definitely return! We also really enjoyed the 4.5 mile pub walk which is described on the pub website although there was a little detour due to a broken bridge but our phones enabled us to get back on track.

Amazing fresh food that you can tell was prepared on the premises. Incredibly well maintained beer and the service was exceptional. Friendly staff, who were attentive but not intrusive. A wonderful find in a pretty village.

Really nice place and cosy inside. The menu had a good choice including a few vegetarian options and the food we had was lovely. Lady serving behind the bar was friendly.

Went to this lovely little gem for Sunday lunch. The food was superb, the atmosphere cozy and the staff were smiley from the time you come in to the time you leave with rather a full belly.

Well worth the hour drive to experience this gorgeous pub on Saturday night for the first time. All the staff were wonderful, polite and SO welcoming. The food was fantastic. We had lamb kofta to start which were delicious and perfectly cooked salmon for main. Perfect company, fab food and Karen was the perfect host! We will definitely be back! Thank you for a fabulous evening ♥️

Four of had lunch on Friday. Excellent. Chicken burger. Cheese sandwich. Steak pie & Scampi. All perfect. Nice Guinness. The setting is lovely. A quintessential English village. Service was swift and the host was professional, charming and helpful. Great food at reasonable prices.

We just can't get enough of this place. It never fails to deliver whether we are going for just drinks or for a meal. Last weekend, we booked for Sunday lunch with my sister and her husband who live nearby. My husband and I would love to live so close. The Elizabeth line is so handy now, especially as it stops at Taplow station on a Sunday. We ordered fish and chips, two roast dinners (beef and pork respectively) and a duck salad. All were cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were very generous. So much so, my sister asked for a doggie bag for her uneaten beef. There is also a great selection of beers, cider and wine, from which we ordered a selection. The staff are so friendly and immediately recognised me and my sister. We are well known for coming here the odd Saturday or Sunday and ordering our DIY spritzer kit. I always say to them that they should put it on the drinks menu. The Oak and Saw comes highly recommended as a great pub, serving top restaurant quality cuisine and is very reasonably priced.

Very friendly landlady ,beautiful outdoor seating area with wonderful hanging baskets food was excellent

If you’re expecting the usual fayre in a uk pub - pies, gammon steak, chicken - it’s not what you’ll get but you’ll miss a nice meal. They have the usual steaks, burgers, fish, scampi supplemented with lamb kebab, lamb skewers etc. the online menu is what they have - no specials. We booked, it’s not a huge pub, so might be worth doing that. Good range of local ales - Marlow Rebellion IPA was lovely and I’m not a beer drinker. Anyway for dinner we had lamb skewer, pork steak - loin maybe a tad over cooked but not tough - both lovely. Treacle tart and sticky toffee pud - ok but in my view it wasn’t sticky toffee and treacle tart not treacle enough - 2 large wines = £67. Helpful, attentive staff, worth trying if in the village or like us staying in the Taplow Hse Hotel - a 10 min walk, uphill, to the pub

Recommended by a friend …. Not been here for years but the Saturday Steak night was a draw with free house wine if you ordered 2 steaks! From the moment we arrived the warm welcome and friendly service throughout was fantastic. We all felt very at home and felt well looked after. Food was great too. Lovely small garden with heaters and beautiful flowers and hanging baskets. it was a village pub and everybody was very welcoming.

My pork loin steak with savoy cabbage, bacon and onion and dauphinois potatoes was one of the most delicious meals I have had ever. Wish I lived closer !

Great Sunday lunch cooked to perfection last Sunday afternoon we thought we give the oak & saw at taplow a try.we managed only just to get a table out side in the court yard great hanging plants great view over the country side great lunch good service

My daughter and I visited for Saturday evening after we found the nearby hotel we were staying in was full that evening for dining. We both took the Steak Night option and had a delicious, perfectly cooked fillet steak. We were allowed to upgrade our free bottle of house wine to a nice rose for a small fee. Shared a delicious tomato and mozzarella starter. Lovely and very accommodating staff made for a very pleasant evening.

Great roast dinner, beautiful pink beef with delicious trimmings. Good value drinks and a lovely terrace garden where the dog is allowed, as well as the bar area.

A pleasant surprise. The inside table are clean and well laid out but do not give off a romantic setting, more a bit clinical. We sat outside, had good food, great service and really enjoyed the experience.

Cane today for family lunch. What an amazing little pub. The food was absolutely amazing. Gluten-free options are available, which is brilliant as my husband is a coeliac. The portions are big. The ingredients are fresh, and food is beautifully presented. In my opinion, very good value for money. Great service from Nick and Yulia, and I was really impressed that the chef Tony came out to ask a question about my sons order as he didn't want the sauce he wanted to see if there was anything he could do instead. We will 100% be returning. I am looking forward to coming on a Sunday to try the Sunday roast.

Great food - pub classics well done. Friendly service . Beautiful village . Recommend for families. Comfy garden area with shelter

Nice to see that a real village local with excellent food, beer, wine and food is still around. The food was really excellent with a great choice of items and a great selection of beers. It’s extremely popular with locals with every table booked at lunchtime today

Steak night with steaks done to a tee. Not having big appetites we asked if we could share so that we could have one of their sweets. No problem ! The sweets were so good , I think I might have three sweets instead of a main course next time. This was our third visit recently

Superb Burns menu at the Oak. Excellent variety of mains and deserts so well prepared. Great atmosphere and buzz. Good value.

Outstanding food and service. Highly recommended. Also a very good selection of drinks at reasonable prices

First time tried here, very friendly pub with dining. We had attentive service and managed to get a good table away from bar area. The food was very good, I recommend the Mushroom Croisotini and the lamb shanks looked superb. There is parking to the rear of the pub.

Came in for a quick lunch before a house viewing and left extremely impressed! The barmaid/waitress was so friendly and greeted us when we walked in and gave exceptional service. The sandwiches were so tasty too! Beautiful inside as well with a cute little fire going. Hope to come back soon!

Visited with a friend for a drink and a catch up. Having seen Neal after meal cone out from the Kitchen we succomed and order a delicious steak meal each. The house wine was a perfect accompaniment.

We have been several times before for dinner and it has always been very good, but they surpassed themselves this time!For starters, we had the tempura squid, which was a flavour sensation.For mains we had the chef's pie of the day, (venison) - delicious and one of the specials, which was the Gloucester pork chop, which was large to say the least, tender and tasty.For pudding, we had the chocolate fondant and the sticky toffee pudding which rounded off a fantastic three course dinner, top quality throughout and in a lovely pub.

We were looking forward to a Sunday roast at what looks like a lovely pub after a long walk. We had a booking for 3pm. Unfortunately the pub had cancelled our booking and failed to let us know. One lady behind the bar was particularly unhelpful and implied that it was our fault in some way. I appreciate that mistakes are made but there is no excuse for rudeness. Clearly the booking system is unreliable and I can only assume that the staff are overworked to explain such poor manners. I recommend looking elsewhere for a more reliable service.

Excellent and friendly service with a good range of options on the menu. Food was served promptly and was very good. Really enjoyed our meal.

We were in the area for a few days and searched for a good pub to have a Sunday roast. Oak and Saw came up on several search sites so we ventured off to get our roast. Staff were so friendly and accommodating, nothing to much to ask for and food was exceptional. Compliments to the chef. So impressed. We also have a little sausage dog and she was made to feel so welcome. If only we lived in the area. Loved the experience. Thank you team.

A beautiful old cottage pub! Lovely inside. Friendly staff made you feel welcome. Food was very good at reasonable prices! My husband and I had fish & chips cooked perfectly. Our friends had duck breast and mushroom & chicken pie with vegetables they enjoyed that too and was presented very well! We all enjoyed and would definitely go back! Highly recommended

The Oak and Saw where do I startAmbience is very typical of a friendly English Pub and ever so welcoming.Food, the Sunday Roast and gravy was superb and my kids loved the Yorkshire Pudding. Pudding was sticky toffee with Ice Cream and was out of this world. Staff was extremely attentive and helped us 'tourists' with places of interest. A 5 Star all round experience and definitely coming back.

Had a really nice lunch here a couple of weeks ago, finally got round to writing this review. Good atmosphere, great friendly service from the barmaid (is it politically correct to say that now?) Let's go with female bar staff, she was welcoming and attentive and the kitchen produces good food. Been back for a beer since then and both bar staff were really friendly again.Thank you.Stephen J. Baker

Met up with family for Sunday lunch. Could not get table before 2.15 , but on arriving at 2.00 table was ready. Ordered roast beef and was asked how I would like it. This was music to my ears! So many times beef ruined by overlooking! Mine was rare and delicious. The landlady and her staff were lovely, 10/10 great venue.Marc Allan.

As usual this pub is exceptional, lovely traditional pub feel and great food. On Saturday I had the lamb shank, the meat was so succulent and literally fell off the bone. The mash and veg spot on.

I can’t fault this little pub. Always friendly and cosy. Great beer and never had a bad meal. It is proper homemade food, lots of choice, Great portion sizes and served by friendly staff. It’s set in a beautiful location and well worth a visit.

Went with friends for a catch up. Lovely food and a good atmosphere. Table was small and it wasn’t big enough for the 3 of us. Warm and friendly.

This lovely little pub has a gorgeous little garden . The staff are really friendly and there was waitress service in the garden which was really efficient . The food was excellent with great Sunday Roasts and a good selection of vegetarian and even a vegan menu . Portions are quite large and well cooked . An adequate choice of wines

We live not too far away from this pub but had never visited before. What a beautiful place it is, gorgeous colourful flowers in the back courtyard. We didn't eat here but the menu looks appetising so will look to return in the future

Popped in for a late afternoon drink with my wife. Best type of village pub. Good selection of drinks. Recommended.

Just wanted to up my review to 5 stars as previously it was 4. Great food, friendly service. We went on a Sunday, the roast was delicious!

Finalmente oggi in questo locale ho potuto soddisfare la mia curiosità di sempre, assaggiare il famoso sunday roast (l'arrosto della domenica). Qui lo fanno come tradizione comanda, con le verdure lesse, i broccoli con la salsina, le patate arrosto e quella specie di briosche salata di pane che non mi ricordo come si chiama, davvero buono. Personale attento e premuroso, servizio veloce, prezzi non economicissimi ma in linea con il li ello del locale. Promossi.

We had been recommended to try this pub and we were certainly not disappointed The staff were very welcoming on arrival and we thoroughly enjoyed or lunch Would certainly visit again

A delayed birthday treat for my wife (she was not too well on her actual birthday) but rescheduled for a Friday. Great starter of trio of scallops very juicy. I had Belly of Pork and my wife the scampi which was a big portion and she does not have a big appetite. By pork was excellent, with mash and super leeks so tasty sauce they were in. Followed by sticky toffee pudding and I am afraid cheese and biscuits. Superb selection of gins and lovely garden if you want to eat al fresco. It was very busy and the staff were very efficient and our waiter a scream

Just visited, and what a lovely pub. The ladies that we saw running it on the day were all amazing, especially with our son. We had a lovely meal. All enjoyed our roast dinners/fish and chips. Desserts also muchly enjoyed. Nice cute outside area (kept a 1 year old occupied with the water feature)

We went to celebrate Father’s Day and had a lovely meal in great surroundings. The staff were welcoming and helpful. My wife had (a very large) fish and chips and I settled for the roast beef. Changing roast potatoes for new was not a problem.

Poor value on puddings - very small piece of pecan pie - not more than 1 inch wide and one scoop of ice cream for £6.95 !!!

Found ourselves in Taplow at the shops this Sunday and fancied a roast. After a quick search we thought we'd give Oak & Saw a go. It was completely perfect. Easy parking, lovely helpful bar staff who showed us to the outside benches in the hidden front garden where they bought us drinks and two huge, perfect roast dinners. We couldn't have asked for more, will definitely be returning with friends in tow. Thank you.

We have visited this pub previously for drinks and light meals in the superb garden. Always enjoyable. On this occasion it was a lunch time visit for my wife's birthday with family and their 18 month old daughter. We could not hsve been made more wecome. High chair offered immediately. Drinks ordered and and great menu provided. We chose different starters and main courses all of which were both well presented and cooked, a pleasure to eat. A childs meal was available for the youngster. Overall this pub exceeded expectations. We believe the landlady served us so thanks for a great experience. It is our son who lives locally I just wish that we did!

First visit - arranged to meet here with friends. I'd reserved a table, and they couldn't find the reservation but later found that the staff member booked it on the wrong day (next weekend). A few of us wanted the chicken dish, but they were out, and the only other dish I'd eat is the ham. I was disappointed with the ham as it was very thin slices of reformed ham that didn't have flavour. (I've had this dish from a couple other of pubs local to me, and it is really good). The onion rings were also too well-done, so they were not nice either. So, unfortunately I was let down by the food here. Everyone I was with just thought it was average but said they'd give it another go. I had high expectations based on the feedback so maybe it was just a one off issue/mistake.

Tasty Steaks and sharing starter, great beer and a warm welcome. Steaks cooked to perfection, whats not to like

We had an impromptu visit to this pub for a meal out and were pleasantly surprised! The menu is varied, lots of gluten free options which is unusual and welcome for us. It's on the higher price end, but the food and service we had was worth the money.

Loved this place that is in this small town of Taplow. A lot of charm, great service and food is very good. I tried the faisan and loved it. Got the soup of the day, a delicious one!

For the second year in a row, my partner and I went to the Oak and Saw for their Valentines Day dining event. For the second year in a row we had a fantastic dining experience. The food, the service and the ambience was excellent. We do like the themed nights at the Oak and Saw, whether it be Burns Night or Valentines Day. I just wish they would do more of these themed nights throughout the year. A big thank you to the Chef and all the Oak and Saw Team on the 14th February for making it such a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable evening for us.

Lovely garden but food can be hit or miss depending on the day of the week . Sunday lunch when busy food could be cold but week day lunch okay

Food, drink, service and atmosphere all excellent. The whole experience made more enjoyable and easier by Tommy. Will return again soon.

I needed a pint and some good food and that is what was delivered thankfully. Nice surroundings, especially with the wood burners dotted about having walked in from the snow and cold.

Awesome food and service - they accommodated my girlfriend who is Vegan - she was thrilled and her food was delicious - thanks to Phoebe

The girl in the restaurant (we think her name was Phoebe) was fantastic. She even dealt with some particularly awkward customers brilliantly and nothing was too much trouble even though the pub was busy.

A Saturday lunch for 4 adults & 3 children under 7, lovely village pub serving great food, chicken & gammon pie was excellent (a proper pastry enclosed pie), rhubarb & vanilla crumble also good, a good choice of ales & wine on offer, if only I wasn’t driving! Will visit again.

We called in here with friends on a weekend away. The welcome was warm, and the food good quality pub grub. I had excellent fish and chips, my friend a really good home made pie, and the selection of gins was excellent! Highly recommended.

found this pub via Google Maps primarily because it catered for vegetarians so well - a choice of no less than three main course dishes! the food was amazing and the service excellent. we went on a weekday evening and it soon filled out with both drinkers and diners. A lovely olde worlde snooky atmosphere - will definitely return

This is a very comfortable pub in a stunningly beautiful village. The menu had a good selection of dishes. Three of us had main courses and all were pleased with what we had. I had a prawn and salmon linguini which for me, had too much cream in it but otherwise, it was good. The others had a salad and a steak. They were pleased with their dishes. The service was friendly and efficient and the prices very reasonable.

Stopped for a late breakfast/very early lunch. Was hoping for a scotch egg but didn’t seem to be any so opted for a fish finger sandwich. Food was nice and service good.

Travelling to see Bury Town play Burnham in the FA cup and after a trip advisor search we chose this pub for our pre match lunch. What a choice. A good selection of beers ( the Rebellion revolutionary being my favourite) and excellent food. We could certainly see how this fantastic pub had earned its awards.

Visited the Oak & Saw pub for the first time with friends yesterday and I am happy to saw none of us were disappointed

Our family group of 7, celebrating my wife's birthday, visited the pub today (Sunday) for the traditional Sunday lunch. We were asked to take our seats and the landlady then promptly appeared to take our drink order. Having served our drinks we ordered our lunch. A choice of three roasts were on offer, Beef, Lamb or Pork, and our party had a selection of these (I ordered the Pork).

We only stopped for a beer but what a charming place full of character and good food. Highly recommend!!

Lovely village pub with small but very pleasant garden which has some shaded tables and a nice atmosphere inside. Plenty parking.

We didn't have a reservation and didn't plan on eating but once we saw some of the roasts come out we had to get one. They managed to get us a table and the roasts were good. We had 2 beef roasts, the roast potatoes weren't the best and the beef had a lot of fat on but the vegetables and Yorkshire puddings were great! The camembert starter sharer was great, they give you enough bread which most places don't. Wiuld happily go back.

Went for Sunday Lunch.Excellent food well served.Beef was particularly delicious.Service was efficient and friendly.Good value for money.Went on a 4 mile walk from the pub..directions on website.
