The Robin Hood in Milton Keynes

A bit of a trek, but got there in the end. Friendly greeting and nice pint of Thatchers, then we saw pie was not on the menu, but we asked and fortunately they had some just prepared, so my parents were thrilled. We all enjoyed our meals and look forward to next visit.

What a great little village secret! Tucked away in the little hamlet of Clifton Reynes. Dinner was Chicken Souvlaki for me and the signature burger for my friend, washed down with a lovely pint of cask ale. Great food, beer, weather and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. A great family, children and pet friendly pub. Don't forget to ask about the dinosaur bone found here and displayed in the bar, the kids will love it.

Delicious meal, really lovely, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful pub in the village of Clifton Reynes and the children's play area was a hit with the kids. Thanks for a great Sunday lunch 😊

Excellent in all respects - a real welcome back to the team. Having recently been taken over in management this village community owned pub and restaurant is back in safe hands. A warm welcome awaits you as you walk into a vibrant bar on one side and the restaurant on the other. Service was prompt, food presentation really nice with hot plates and a variety of dishes to suit all palates. Truly delicious. The slow cooked beef was to die for! Portion sizes were good. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. It was a Friday evening so the atmosphere was vibrant with locals as well as those who walked or drove. This is a definite must visit pub and one to watch out for events and specialities. You’ll need to make a booking though. I thoroughly recommend this to everyone.

A long term favourite of mine, the Robin Hood is a village-owned pub and has recently acquired new management with the village being more involved again in its running. This comes with a new menu all of which looked really appetising and a nice change from the sausage and pie-based one previously in place. We had a few decent pints and dinner - my battered fish and chips was fantastic - super fresh and tasty and the ginger puddy was to die for! Service was friendly and efficient. We sat inside as the weather was a bit chilly but I know that the Robin Hood has a huge garden area and is the perfect place to head when the weather is fine and you want to sit out. We were treated to the story of the fossilised dinosaur thigh bone which sits in the fireplace of the bar. This is genuine and was dug up by a local farmer many years ago only a few yards from the pub - and after a brief stint in the local musem has sat in the fireplace since! How many pubs can bost a dinosaur bone? It's worth a visit for this alone!

Don’t expect a roaring log fire or a gastropub, but what you do get is very enjoyable tasty food with very pleasant hard working staff who appear to care whether you enjoyed your visit. From the outside and as you walk in the area looks very basic, but the conservatory is a very pleasant area to eat and the food a portions could not be faulted. The bread and butter pudding was remarkable. The pub specialises in pies and sausages but there were a few good veggie options too. 5 minutes outside of Olney but we were pleased we tried it.

We walked in and the pub was a bit run down. We deliberated whether to stay to eat or go somewhere else and I am so glad we stayed We were there for Sunday lunch. The choice was beef or pork for the roast dinner or you could have any of the pies or sausages with the roast option (huge Yorkshire pudding, roast pots and veg). I chose the beef. My friend chose the steak and Stilton pie. WOW! The beef was gorgeous loads of it, beautifully lean, loads of gravy and 10 different veg - all fresh and all beautifully cooked. My friend’s pie was chock full of beautifully lean and tender beef The pudding menu had everybody’s favourites: Sticky Toffee, Spotted Dick, Bread and Butter pudding, etc. We close the chocolate brownie and the stem ginger steamed pudding. All puds are served with custard, cream or ice cream This was seriously the best Sunday roast dinner I’ve had for years There was a lovely friendly atmosphere. This is a truly British pub and so few still remain. A gorgeous find that I’ll recommend to all my friends This place should be packed every weekend and I can’t recommend it highly enough

Visited after a long break and we were delighted to find a warm welcome and very good homemade food at a great price. Big choice of traditional dishes and they are dog friendly in the bar. In good weather it’s a lovely walk here from Olney. If you need to drive don’t be put off by the route around the river valley, it really isn’t far.

Such a lovely Sunday lunch for our family . My brother and his wife visiting from Germany and our parents all gave the big thumbs up. Food so good a great selection of vegetables and so nicely presented. Nothing too much trouble for any of the very attentive staff. Relaxed afternoon jusywhat we needed . Thank you all of the staff for fitting us in and then exceeding everyone expectations . We will be back.

First visit in many years so not too sure what we would find. Internally it's still the Robin Hood of old but outside it now has a huge gazebo and further on is the large garden. Pretty quiet so we chose to sit inside. Having seen reports that they only did sausages & pies, we didn't anticipate much choice but receiving a very friendly welcome, looking at the menu was another surprise. OK, not a cordon bleu offering but plenty of choice, and all at a more than reasonable price. I settled for the steak & Stilton Pie (buttery mash & petite pois) with my wife choosing the beef lasagne (with salad & garlic bread). One London Pride & half Diet Pepsi cost just over £32. - a real bargain for 2023 IMHO. The food, which arrive 15 minutes or so later was superb. Very tasty and although the plates weren't huge, they were more than adequate relying on quality rather than quantity. Proven when we declined a desert! Our first visit since Covid but we will certainly be back!

Great village pub serving homemade pies & sausages - great value for money - lots of different flavours to try - lovely big garden & small play area for kids. Dogs welcome too!

Great spot for good British food, welcoming and friendly , love the pies and play area for grandchildren

Went last night for fish and chips, the fish was brilliant, the batter was light, crispy and delicious, a huge portion and good value for money. Will definitely return on a Friday night! A welcoming log fire, friendly bar staff and freshly cooked food - well worth a visit

Narrowly miissing the target. The new tennants may need to do a bit more to keep non local clientele from revisiting. Definitely some good but there is a bit to work on. All the food was fine, just fine, but overpriced. The pies look great and all are made in-house, but are small and at £13.50, considering the sides and gravy are just ok, they are too overpriced for what you get. Apart from the pie, the food isn't really anything you couldn't get at a chain pub. The staff are friendly but bar service is slow, considering it was not a busy bar at all. Hopefully the locals can keep the pub going and good luck to the new tennants. But to draw in custom from further a field, quicker service and higher quality of food could potentially help.

Have been here a couple of times for various occasions and each time the meal is absolutely delicious and the staff are always so friendly. Always want to return.

An amazing find. Beautiful old pub, very welcoming and cosy. Food was absolutely excellent, best meal we’ve had in ages. Will definitely return.

Beautifully prepared and presented table d'hote menu. All home made pate, pork and tarte tatin so delicious flavours. Friendly service, reasonably priced for quality of food. Highly recommended for those who like good quality ffod in a comfortable country pub setting.

Had a lovely roast lunch today. Aparently the chef says there's no point in having a roast unless it's better than you would have at home. Well he succeeded what a great meal: beautiful cooked sirloin of beef, lovely big yorkshires, tasty gravy and nicely cooked vegetables. We have been before in the week when there is an unusual tapas style small plates menu. A great selection would be happy to have any of it. Dog friendly. Good service. What's not to like.

With my usual bravado an eat as much as you like offer is not to be sniffed at, the food was excellent and very filling, so much so, that we were all soon stuffed and I for one could not face the Charros!

Thank you so much to the staff at the Robin Hood for our wonderful family lunch. Great food and a lovely garden to enjoy the last of the October sun. The kids loved playing on the climbing frame too.

Complicated meal times,and a fussy online ordering system, (requiring a credit card, plus multiple charges for late cancellation or reduced attendance number), nearly put me off, but I am glad I persevered. The restaurant -'The Bubble'- is the now restaurant part of an attractive old pub in a small meandering village. There is a large back garden, but parking nearby seems minimal. The menu leans heavily on tapas and steamed bao buns with varied fillings, but they do include fih and chips, plus.burgers, salads , all with refreshingly varied touches. You will properly need 2-4 plates of tapas. We had three -glazed King Pao chicken,Robin Hood Bao bun with duck confit and pickled vegetables,fried Persilade Jumbo Prawns with garlic and parsley plus sides of cheesy truffle fries and super salad including chickpeas, pomegranate seeds, lemon, rocket, cucumber and smoked harissa, and a starter of rosemary focaccia breadwith a dip. Apart from the steamed bun being too chewy for my liking, everything was very tasty and well presented. We finished by sharing one local apple crumble between us which hit the right balance between sweet/tartness. Service was cheerful, efficient and reasonably quick.With a couple of halves of real ale the bill for two came to under £50, which we considered fair. Give it a try. With enough attendees, they might stop charging for potential no-shows!

Myself & a further 7 cycling friends arranged to breakfast at the Robin Hood in Clifton Reynes on the morning of Saturday 4th September after a 38 mile tour around the delightful countryside of Buckinghamshire & Northamptonshire. The quality of the full English was excellent with the team positively assessing as by some way the best of the season nicely washed down with a splendid pint of the black stuff. The service from the staff was timely, highly efficient & very friendly. A shout out to other cycling teams & other social groups - the Robin Hood sets a high bar for culinary excellence & looking after their guests famously.

Tapas style menu (helpfully detailed online) with a variety of creative dishes, which were all very tasty. We look forward to returning to try the others! The beer, soft drinks and coffee were also excellent. It's not cheap but is reasonably priced for the quality...

Excellent meal of tapas, which all had wonderful tastes. The pudding couldn't be missed and all looked and tasted yummy. The staff were all attentive and informative without being intrusive . Will definitely be back when I'm in the area

What an amazing visit. The tapas food was the freshest and tastiest I've ever had, all in the gorgeous beer garden sat in the sun. We shall be returning for a full meal in the very near future!

We booked a table at Robin Hood for my dad’s 70th after a friend recommended the pub. The menu has lots of little delicious plates that you can mix and match in a tapas style. Perfect when some are hungrier than others and a refreshing...

Such great food and brilliant service. Staff so friendly and attentive. Food was amazing and very appetising. Thank you

The Robin Hood had been recommended to us by several friends; as not local to us we visited whilst on holiday. We’re so glad we did - the food was amazing, by far the tastiest we’ve had for some considerable time. We shared 6 dishes...

This was a really friendly, welcoming place and the menu interesting and tempting. However, the options we had were very over salted, with the bubble chicken more akin to pork scratchings in terms of level of seasoning. We might have been unlucky and it might...

What a fantastic experience. The bubble concept is perfect for small groups and gives you an opportunity to try a range of dishes from this amazing chef No doubt I'll be back. Between 3 of us, we had 9 dishes and each was a cacophony...

We were a party of four old codgers and the dog out to celebrate my birthday. It was a perfect evening. Wonderful atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. Jon’s food is always amazing. It’s our local so we were not surprised but it was...

The food here is so far above the ordinary pub offering - if you want something that makes you say mmmmh after every bite then Jon is your Chef and the Robin Hood your destination. Don’t bother if you want standard pub food but do...

Amazing outside dining space and climbing frame. unfortunately we decided to go elsewhere for dinner as the family thought it would be usual pub food (burgers and chips) but that’s our fault for not looking at the menu first. I have heard good thing’s about...

Amazing food! Everything was delicious and executed to perfection. You can taste the freshness because everything is locally sourced! Please make this a permanent restaurant 🙏 Highlights: cured salmon Fried chicken Asparagus Beef tataki Super salad

I've been to quite a few pubs with outdoor dining areas in the local area since hospitality has been able to open up again, and this is by far the best in terms of outdoor space (amazing garden, making it easy to social distance) and...

Amazing food, staff, and service. Great outdoor space including a kids’ park so is perfect for families :). Definitely recommend 🙌🏼

We just came for a quick lunch on Monday and what an amazing experience it was. We ordered 5 tapas for the 2 of us and it was perfectly filling, impeccable, delicious and exciting. The beef actually was so tender and tasty, my husband said...

Delicious food in a beautiful setting. The food is amazing and the whole experience was so good. The staff work really hard to keep everyone safe whilst providing excellent service. The garden is large and the play area looks like great fun to entertain children. Thanks guys. Sorry I forgot To leave a tip.

Went for a tapas dinner with the family and the food was impeccable! The atmosphere is lovely with the massive garden and staff are so so friendly! 5 stars from us :)

Lovely walk across the fields from Olney to Clifton today with the sun shining.Garden is absolutely massive with a big play area for the kids and a mini football pitch. Tapas food was absolutely superb we had 6/7 dishes and couldn’t fault any of them. Salmon and crab was extra special

10 out of 10 ! Wow what a menu and what a garden ! Food tasted as good as it sounded and service and garden was just as good ! Wanted to taste the whole tapas menu and we tried out best ! Hard to pick some top 3 dishes but loves the duck bao buns , salmon and crab dish ! And the gourmet hot dog was easily the best hot dog I have ever had ! Didn’t think a hot dog could be so good ! Yummmm

Can’t recommend this place enough!! The food is absolutely amazing along with the lovely staff! Perfect for sitting outside and enjoying a cold drink aswell. The area is kid friendly with a climbing frame and people are welcome to go along with picnic blankets. Also makes a lovely walk from olney and surrounding villages with family and friends!

Fantastic food, great service, brilliant atmosphere! Despite COVID restrictions, staff have gone above and beyond to provide customers with superb experience. Well worth a visit!

I’m used to going to the restaurants in Olney, I come away feeling cheated and disappointed. Decided to go to The Bubble for something different and thank god I did. Original, tasty, brave, and perfect for the moment. Go there and “taste the difference”. The staff are fresh, enthusiastic, and actually want you to be there, which is very refreshing. I can’t recommend it enough. Post Covid, it will be the destination of the area.

I loved so much about the experience of eating at The Bubble Restaurant (Robin Hood) Its an old country pub and has the feel of one but what I liked was the flair and creativity of the food. I was excited by all the choices, it's a change from the predictable "pub grub" . Staff were lovely and engaging, chef popped his head out to give some info about the food, great to see the passion from him. I'm dairy free and I didn't feel restricted, there were a lot of choices for me same if you are gluten free and vegan. Overall, just wanted to wish them well, they deserve it for their warmth and creativity.

The Bubble at the Robin Hood is great! It is so cozy and really safe! The food is seriously amazing!! John is an incredible chef and is very knowledgeable about his food and wine! Great food in a safe and cozy environment... highly recommended!

Warm host and atmosphere, transformed since last visit into a wonderful pop up restaurant although I hope the chef and his team stay a long time. My husband and son enjoyed the most delicious and varied tasting menu of 7 courses for £38, I had the special from a small plate/tapas menu including a glass of prosecco. All was absolutely delicious and made with great flair and attention to detail. Good to see them championing local provenance of food. We can't wait to return and hope others make the journey to Clifton Reynes as it is off the beaten track.

I have drunk here on several occasions, and it's nice to see it open again. It has a new app where you can order drinks/snacks from a table and then pick them up from a collection point when they are ready ... saves queuing at the bar.Good selection of beers, and the light snacks are great. There's plenty of room in the garden, with a relaxed/safe atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly/accommodating.It's a hidden gem and is well worth the walk up from Olney or stopping off at while passing by.Will certainly be going back.

Visited The Robin Hood with My family for some drinks. They had new system in place where you order from your phone using Apple Pay and have your drinks delivered to a collection point to avoid any contact with staff and others. During the time of COVID this new system made me feel really safe and I was able to enjoy my drinks in the beautiful garden without any worry’s. Service was quick and staff were all very helpful when seating and explaining the new system.- I Will definitely be coming back to visit again the in future!

Such a beautiful pub restaurant with a stunning pub garden! I feel completely safe coming during the corona pandemic due to their new system which allows less contact with staff and others. I am able to order and pay off a website which is extremely easy to use and my drinks come very quickly - great service from staff. Will definitely be coming again!

Excellent service from Mollie, very helpful & friendly. Food was lovely, good to have you all back, will be coming back.Well done on social distancing.

Food and service absolutely fantastic. Relatively small so you should probably book. Unlikely to be disappointed. My second visit. Will be back !

First visit following a recommendation by friends. Good choice on the menu on a quiet midweek lunchtime and our choices did not disappoint. Will definitely be back. Food was well thought out, well presented and cooked perfectly.

We went on an quiet midweek evening with no reservation. I had mallard with carrots, pickled ginger and an asian tasting sauce and my husband had something called skrei cod with potted shrimp butter. When an amuse bouche arrived we panicked a little as we then expected poncy tiny portions but we were wrong. A generous breast of duck and a thick piece of fish arrived, both beautifully cooked. Once eating we realised we regretted not trying the starters, the waitress had recommended the artichoke and mushroom toast, but by the end we had probably eaten enough to not have a starter.we shared an apple crumble which was daintily presented with really good (homemade?) ice cream. Recommended drinks for each dish is a nice touch and wines were excellent and the whole meal with a glass each was under 50 quid, a steal for this quality of food, a quality we really didn't expect, the pub is unpretentious and the staff very friendly. I'd never done trip advisor before but this place was good enough to sign me up!

Great hidden gem this one. Real pub atmosphere and skittles bar games, alongside top notch cooking and hosting.

Such a lovely pub with great food. The manager John showed us how to play skittles and made us feel incredibly welcome. Will be back soon!

Absolutely loved the food. Chef knows what he’s doing and some of the dishes have an incredible amount of effort gone into them. Will be back again and again.

This is a restaurant well worth a visit and is one of our favourites. The menu changes regularly and we are always spoilt for choice and chef Jon works hard to make any tweaks needed to deal with food allergies. Mallard duck breats were the order of the day and what an amazing meal. Beautifully presented and so tender they melted in your mouth. Jon and Sophie work so hard to make sure people experience the very best of food and the most warm welcome, they deserve their success.

Went for birthday roast dinner and the award winning beef was fab. Amuse Bouche soup nice touch at the start. Only downpoint for us was sitting in conservatory, ambience lacked atmosphere and quite loud as too close to others. Much better though than previous visit couple years ago!

We were a lunch party of 11 people, there to mark a special birthday for one of our company. It was a 20 - 25 minute trip from Milton Keynes but all of us were glad we made the effort. The welcome was warm, and the service (particularly as the restaurant was busy apart from us) was efficient and friendly. The food was complimented all round - the starter and main for £16 was great value. (I should say we didn't try the desserts). When the management realised it was a birthday celebration they brought us all a glass of fizz on the house, which was a really nice touch, as was the small cup of carrot and orange soup "amuse bouche" to start. I really hope this place has the success it deserves and will definitely come again.

I reckon I had the best Sunday roast ever yesterday at The Robin Hood. We were a table of 10. I had Roast Beef (which I don’t tend to order when out as it usually disappoints), but the Chef told us that the beef was a good choice, so I tried it, as did 8 of us! Fantastic! And it came with ooodles of “proper gravy” and extra Yorkshire’s! Not great for my so-called diet, but it was all incredibly tasty. One small negative is that one of my friends ordered the lasagne and it was a tiny portion. Not sure if she accidentally ordered a “Kids” size, but it was tiny. She should have chosen the roast! Another friend ordered the sausage and mash but swapped the mash for chips, which were amazing! We’ll be coming back again

Went for both a Christmas Lunch and an evening meal recently. I can't tell you how much this place has improved. The inside has finally had a bit of a spruce up, the staff are lovely and friendly and the food is honestly a cut above anywhere locally. Also the locals were really friendly and in good spirits when we arrived for drinks. We used to like the chef's old place too but you couldn't drink in the bar as the locals would crowd it out and not move if you needed to walk through and it wasn't very inviting, far comfier here.

We went for Sunday lunch yesterday and couldn’t fault it! The food was superb, probably the best pub Sunday roast I have ever had. The amuse bouche leek and blue cheese soup was a lovely touch and started the meal off beautifully. The beef was cooked to perfection as were the roast potatoes and selection of veg. A great glass of red to complement the meal was the final touch... The waitresses serving were great too - polite and friendly. Oh and the lad behind the bar was very friendly too! We’ll be back soon.

We’ve been to the Robin Hood several times since it was taken over and previous visits have not failed to disappoint. So much so that we decided to take our friends there over Christmas and were very disappointed. The service was pleasant the the staff were helpful. We knew the menu was a la carte only which is fine - it was quite pricey which wasn’t totally unexpected but the food was not really up to the usual standard. The sea bass was OK but not great - definitely overpriced and with hardly any veg. We’ll think twice before having a meal there again. Shame.

If you are after a unique experience outside of busy town this is the place to go to. 20 minutes away from Milton Keynes. Outstanding experience. Minute you are inside, you feel very welcome and home. Service was 5 out of 5. We’ve been served amazing beef and guineafowl roasts with roast vegetables and chocolate mouse for dessert. Portions were very generous. And they support local produce. Wine list is impressive. You wouldn’t expect this quality of food and service in the middle of nowhere. Village itself is just “picture perfect”. Highly recommend.

We had our staff Christmas Party at the Robin Hood which was enjoyed by everyone. There were many compliments about the excellent food and Jon, Sophie and their team couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. We would thoroughly recommend it.

Right... so this is a village pub... often frequented by people on country walks from Olney and the surrounding area. So who on earth thought it a good idea to lay a nice carpet in the main bar? Cue signs warning to clean feet of dogs and remove dirty boots! Trouble is that you then need to walk through the bar to get to the toilet... with no shoes on! We were a group of six, enjoying a cross country walk from Turvey (Three Cranes) to Newton Blossomville (Old Mill) and then on to Olney (The Bull). We were the only customers at the Robin Hood. Really disappointing then that although the young girl behind the bar was friendly, the older members of staff (apparently preparing for a party) made us feel very unwelcome! We have enjoyed numerous visits to this pub in the past, but won’t be rushing back!

There are few dining experiences I have had in the UK, outside of Michelin starred restaurants, where the Chef demonstrates the depth of thought as to the provenance of ingredients and creates such creative nuances of flavour as Chef Jon Adriaenssens.

It was a quiet Wednesday evening but the food was still very good and the service exceptional. Our first visit here and it may not be our last. Can't be too fussy with your food as the menu continually changes and you don't know exactly what choices you will have on the night. But everything was cooked beautifully. Both very pleased with the evening.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch here and although I'm not a vegetarian, I decided to go for the vegetarian option and it was fabulous. Very tasty and with excellent vegetables. All four of us enjoyed our meal and service was very friendly and courteous. We do not live locally, but would happily return here for a meal and recommend it to others. Be careful to check the website for opening hours as they close on some days.

The pub has been bought out by a consortium of villagers and a new management team run the restaurant and bar. It is very much on the up! They are trying hard to be innovative. A bit out of the way, but well worth the detour.

We have had several meals and enjoyed them all, whether it has been a snack, barbeque, or full Dinner. The food is always delicious, with super presentation. As a pub it always feels friendly and relaxed, a joy to visit.

Great food. Innovative and delicious, but not expensive. There was something for all the family and a very relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. A most enjoyable Sunday lunch with friends. Well worth a visit and we shall return.

5 of us met up at the Robin Hood for Sunday lunch and sat in the garden studying the menu. A chap came over and said if you don’t have the roast beef you would regret it. It was when we found out he was the chef we took his advise and did not regret it. It was the most beautifully cooked and tender beef we have had for a long time. Will definitely be going back there soon.

Family gathering for Sunday lunch. Exceptional food and very friendly service. Complimentary mini sweetcorn soup was a surprise gesture ..Typical country pub with a separate menu for garden snacks.

A hidden gem. Great for vegetarians. Been here twice, both with family & friends. They were suitably impressed. Food always fresh & locally sourced. Well worth a visit.

Th best pub around, like home from home, great food, great service, always a good few drinks, and great company. always a friendly face.

Still owned by the community but now with the undivided attention of the Manager/chef who has moved from the Bell & Bear in Emberton , a group of us descended on the tranquil venue the check out the new 'setup'.

Beautiful, old village pub - with a menu to inspire as well. Whether, you're sitting in the "smallish" dining area or opting to sit out back, you'll end up, eating more or plan your next visit. Stopping by at night, you may encounter the locals - this pub was saved by a group of Clifton Reynes' residents, so all their natter eventually shows that pride in doing so. A delightful place in all.

Our first since Jon & Sophie took over the kitchen. We weren't disappointed. Lovely welcoming bar staff, great eating area in the conservatory. We knew the food would be excellent having eaten at The Bell & Bear for nearly 10 years. So good to see familiar dishes on the menu plus a few new ones. A very good mix of traditional bar food and a la catre menu.

We visited recently and were surprised by how wonderful it was. Extensive garden that kept the children happy. Drinks and food were served quickly and with a smile and a great experience.

Four of us visited for an evening meal to celebrate our friends special birthday. We arrived early to decorate the table and the manager and staff could not have been more accommodating, moving tables around to suit our plans and ensuring everything was ready for us at 8pm.

First visit to the Robin Hood, a community owned pub in Clifton Reynes. Really delicious pub food with a few more exotic choices on the menu as well, the squid and fig & bue cheese salad were great. They have a beer garden that would be fantastic on a sunny day.

Keeping pubs like this going is essential for a rural life Nice beer garden very helpful staff and nice pub grub

The food here is amazing We ordered the asparagus with goose egg, squid for starters.... absolutely delicious Followed by the chicken, smashed potato’s with cabbage and scampi and skinny fries.... what can I say truly scrumptious My favourite place to eat so far!!!

Wonderful food, possibly the best lamb cutlets i've eaten. Friendly service in a really homely pub. Well done all. Just wish the donkeys were still outside!

Dropped in for a lunchtime drink mid week, and followed this up later with Sunday lunch. Friendly pub, welcoming locals with a nice atmosphere and decent beer. Sunday lunch was pretty much identical to the excellent offering at the nearby Bell & Bear (well it was cooked and served by some of the same team)! Midweek food looks simpler, but worth sampling. We’ll certainly be back.

Visited here to see how the change to ‘community ownership’ has affected what was a great pub. First impression was how bright, clean and smart the place had become. A real local if ever there was one.

We returned to The Robin Hood today having not been for many years. We were enticed back knowing that Jon from The Bell and Bear in Emberton had taken over the reins of the food at this now community owned pub. Our lunch did not disappoint. The roast beef was melt in the mouth, tender and tasty. The roasties were perfect and the veg and gravy were too. Starters and desserts were all very good. The Australian merlot I drank was smooth and perfect with the beef. It was their first Sunday lunch service since taking over and everyone we saw eating looked as content as we were with the food. The two young ladies looking after everyone front of house were very friendly and efficient. Talking to Jon there are lots of things that need to be done to get the pub right but it is a traditional old pub with character and the food alone makes this pub worth a visit. I’m sure that it will become as successful as the Bell and Bear and deservedly so. Good luck to The Robin Hood and many more good meals to come given today’s menu.

Wow! This eating place is a must. It’s a friendly village pup now with a rejuvenated menu with some fabulous food cooked by an excellent chef.

Nice pub.good food nice surroundings. Very enjoyable.good selection of beers snd wine.very polite and helpfull staff.

A characterful old pub with a very warm welcome from the hosts. The lunch was superb and nothing was too much trouble. We’re definitely going back soon!

This photo needs updating as there is no donkeys now. I called in today and was enthusiastically updated on the history of the pub which is now owned and managed by a group of investors from the village. ..and doing very well plenty of activities including Sunday lunches and pop up kitchens offering different cuisine ..tonight was fine dining and next week there is an Italian Evening. We will be back soon..thank you for making us feel so welcomed today.

We were looking for a new local pub for a Sunday lunch, and The Robin Hood came up on an internet search. Having never visited Clifton Regis before it was nice to see it could be reached via country footpaths from Olney. After a brief march through the countryside the pub was a delight to see. Just what you’d like a village pub to be. Two bars, one for drinking and one for eating. Plus a conservatory dining area and a delightful garden. We were made to feel very welcome, and the family vibe shone through. On a Sunday they lay on a carvery. Our table was reserved, with our name on the tag for the personal touch. The food was excellent, and the friendly conversation showed how much pride and passion went into running the pub. I learned all about the beer festival the following weekend. We loved our visit. Not just for the food, but the English Village ambience that is so often lost in pubs these days. We’ll definitely be back, and would highly recommend to anyone also looking for a hidden gem :)

What a cracking welcome and atmosphere. Barbara and Ian can't do enough from the minute you walk through the door. As a first time visitor I felt like part of the family. Popped in for one drink and ended up playing skittles and sampling a few beers. Cask ale was in great condition a must for anyone wanting a real pub welcome.

Visitamos este pub de nuevo y el servicio me pareció excelente, la comida genial y el entorno al aire libre, absolutamente divino.

Mi familia y yo metimos en el pub para un almuerzo de domingo después de caminar la ruta de Olney. Sólo había un camarero que equilibrada todos su trabajo brillantemente y entregado un gran servicio al cliente. Él llegó como disfrutando de su trabajo, que es un cambio agradable de otros lugares en los que hemos estado recientemente. La comida llegó en tiempo razonable y era muy bueno. Sin duda volveré.

Roast beef dinner delicious, with crispy roast potatoes. A warm and cosy atmosphere on a cold and wet lunchtime. Will be coming back and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good Sunday roast in a country pub. Good service too.

Paramos para una comida rápida una noche y nos dieron una mesa de inmediato. Una ale pub con 3 diferentes bombas de mano que sirve una buena selección de cervezas (a precios razonables) Tuvimos algunas 'comida rápida', al menos no la excelente cocina que está en el menú y que hemos disfrutado en el pasado.
