Lovely fresh food. Small menu but very tasty and very generous portions. We all really enjoyed it. The staff and locals were all really friendly and chatty.

Nice to see a pub which is still open and in a location close to walks up Whiteleaf Cross which I remember from the sixties and seventies.

Superb country pub in a lovely setting. Bar staff and locals are really friendly. Dog friendly pub. Rustic interior and super cosy. Outside seating area out the front is perfect for sunny days. Highly recommend this local gem.

Really lovely afternoon in a lovely little country pub, great roast dinner for Mother’s Day and lots of it, lovely pudding and nice atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome with our puppy Nelly too .. Will most defiantly be back :-) also lots of walks to explore close by.

The most flavoursome roasts, fires burning and dogs doing their thing, old countryside pub tucked up in the hillside of Whiteleaf 🖤

Best roast around, the cracking was amazing as was the homemade deserts, bread and butter pudding was the best I’ve ever had, real fire, really friendly staff, laid back atmosphere, could not fault it

Was welcomed by Oliver, who made us feel comfortable immediately. Freezing cold outside and were offered a seat near the log fire. Had an interesting conversation with the pub owner and chef Tony extremely interesting conversation and very informative

We were served by two obliging, good humoured young ladies and the kitchen produced top class Fish & Chips (very welcome after our long hike). If you don't get into the more famous pub a mile away, just come here instead ;)

We used to live in this area many moons ago and were having a quick, nostalgic tour of old, familiar places before heading to London later in the day, We were the first customers of the day and were immediately greeted by a charming and friendly young lady who took our drinks order and handed us the food menu on a small blackboard. My companion chose the ham, egg and chips from the main menu and I selected the tuna topped jacket potato from the lunch menu. Very impressed with both meals, served very promptly, with very generous portions and my lunch for just £6.00 was amazing value! This establishment has changed little over the decades and is still a proper "olde worlde" pub with welcoming log fire, traditional furnishings and cosy ambiance - long may it continue like this- highly recommended by us both on this occasion...

The minute you open the door, you know you’ve found a local gem. We’d visited once 6-7 years ago during a blizzard and thought it time to go back. Very easy to book a table online and very accommodating. Arrived, was seated and staff asked us for drinks order very efficiently. Gave us plenty of time to decide with no pressure. 4 huge platters of our roast choices came, almost overflowing. Quality of the food nothing short of perfection for a Sunday roast. Followed up with nicely done homemade pudding, we waddled out after settling up a quite reasonable bill per couple. Won’t be waiting so long to come back!

Booked a table for a family lunch after a walk in Wendover Woods. A lovely welcome, friendly staff. A menu of proper home cooked food. We had roast dinners, burgers, sausage & mash and a filled jacket potato. Everything was piping hot and delicious! Puddings equally as good. We are all new to the area and will be back very soon! Excellent value for money!!

Only one of the best homemade burgers I've had in a long time. Staff are highly attentive & if your a dog lover then your pooch is welcome. If you wanted to describe an English pub to your mail order bride then take them here, the traditional log fire & rustic feel offers more than just a locals hangout.

Garden out front in the sun and good choice of food options for lunch from light choices to a full meal. I ate off the specials board - garlic prawns and mushrooms jacket. Served with a side salad by a welcoming team.

Popped for lunch with a friend and had a fab meal. Not the first or the last visit here but wanted to try the new menu which provided a great selection as well as specials. I selected one of the specials; smoked salmon and cream cheese tart with salad and a cheeky side of sweet potato fries, my friend had the quick steak baguette with cheese from the lunch menu ...and given a choice of which cheese she wanted (she had blue cheese). Fab fresh food, beautifully presented and we were well looked after by staff.

We live locally to the Red Lion and usually walk up in the summer for a drink as it’s situated in a lovely location. On Tuesday evening we decided to go for the steak night.

As we were visiting Princes Risborough for the morning, we needed a dog friendly pub for lunch, near a good walk. The Red Lion was perfect! It is rustic inside and the friendly staff welcomed us all with open arms. Jon thoroughly enjoyed the steak which was among the best he's ever eaten and my fish finger burger was tasty. If you want to relax somewhere with the dog, muddy boots and good pub grub this is the place to go!

If you come here expecting a 4-4.5* you’ll be disappointed. It’s a nice pub, in a nice location, but not particularly special. Having been to a lot of places rated 4* on Google this pub isn’t as good as any of them. Food was ok, prices aren’t expensive, but neither was it really tasty or really cheap. The main pub was cosier and more atmospheric so if you come try and sit there. We came on a Sunday and were told all the bar area was reserved, although lots of tables stayed empty, so people must book and then not show. For a 4* Id want better food, service and atmosphere - and certainly I’d suggest they fit a lock to the toilet door in the men’s room. It’s worth a visit, didn’t see a ton of options better nearby, but if you rely on Google ratings like me, expect 3* and you won’t be disappointed.

Truly awful service. Stayed one night. Lovely room with great facilities. However woke the next day and went for breakfast at 9.15 and no one around. Called for someone but not staff on site. Other people staying were perplexed as literally no one on site. We left having paid for breakfast but went into a local cafe with others who followed. Will be ensuring we get a refund for no breakfast we paid for. Never had such a bizarre situation occur staying anywhere.
