My elderly parents, my teenage children and I went to The Robin Hood for Sunday lunch. The food was beautiful; lots of dishes to choose from to suit everyone’s taste. The staff were friendly and polite and couldn’t do enough for us. The service was swift too. Highly recommend the Sunday Roast…. Delicious!

This was our first visit since it had re-opened. There was a lot to choose from on the menu, the food was good, everyone enjoyed their roast. The service could have been better, there seemed to be enough staff, they just didn't appear to be as attentive as they could have been.

Met up with family for a Xmas lunch. The staff were lovely, the food scrumptious. The only downside was it was freezing inside. It was below zero outside and it would have been perfect if the log burning fire had been lit. Will definitely go back - but in the summer!!

So pleased to see Robin Hood back up and running again. Limited hours but worth visiting. Fabulous Sunday roast. Massive portions and all fresh nothing frozen. Stack of onion rings starter was about a foot tall !! 3 dips too. Was delicious. More than enough for 2 people to share. Didn't have room left for a pudding but what I saw coming out looked yummy!! Well done all staff. Good luck with moving forward and hopefully local people will support you. We have been twice in a week!! So good

We visited the Robin Hood Buckingham last night, after being turned away at the Green Man Inn (which was empty!!!) All good things happen for a reason, as this was the first time we have been to Robin Hood (we are from Suffolk) and what a meal it was. Unlike the Green man it was very welcoming as soon as we walked in the door, the lady behind the bar was very friendly too. The stack of onion rings and cheddar rings was to die for, the food was extremely hot and served in good time, and the burgers were outstanding, home made and dare I say but the best beef burger I think I have ever tasted. A real proper beef burger. We had so much food we couldn’t move after. All cooked to perfection. We definitely will be back if we are in the area again, for anybody looking for a nice place I can’t recommend it enough, we only wished we were closer as we would be here all the time! Thank you Robin Hood team welcoming us in our hour of need. (Sunday evening!) Sarah and Clive

A warm welcome and fine pub food. We always have a lovely meal at the Robin Hood and tonight was no exception. We enjoyed fish and chips, ribs and slaw, scampi and chips and homemade steak and ale pie. Glorious food and really great staff who made us very welcome and kept us entertained for the evening. A local pub that we always enjoy visiting

Arrived for a quick lunch to celebrate our local’s reopening! Staff were friendly, very welcoming and apologetic for any delay - the tables had been rearranged and the old rehired staff were still getting used to it! Beer was cold and refreshing, food was lovely, the puddings were AMAZING - totally worth the visit!

This has always been a great go to pub for a meal or a get together. It has been shut for several years, so when I saw the place being repainted and rebranded I was very pleased. They currently are not offering evening service, but it's great for lunch.

Had a Sunday roast here I have not gone out to eat a Sunday roast for a long time. Was disappointing the gravy was like water, the beef wasn't great and the roast potatoes tastes like they were frozen! The Yorkshire pudding was good but the veg was limited would have been lovely to have some parsnips or something too. We was asked to give our details for the covid check in thing whilst we were eating this would have been better whilst we were waiting for food.

I visited the Robin Hood for lunch today & I had an extremely good meal. The staff were very friendly & helpful & my meal - the veggie roast of the day (stuffed butternut squash) was absolutely superb. I was part of a large group & although we had to wait a short time for our meals, they were served at the same time & were all piping hot. I have visited here before & I've always been impressed with the extensive menu & the delicious food. I'm looking forward to a return visit soon!

Called at the Robin Hood for a meal tonight after reading the positive reviews-very disappointing. Ordered Salmon with mango rice-salmon was dry-grossly overcooked together with dry rice-unable to eat it. They offered to take it back to chef but as I'd tried to eat some of it I didn't fancy another one and my husband was half way through his meal! After refusing to pay for this meal I could hear the chef shouting at the bar staff "tell her not to come back again"!!! Chef if you can't cook a piece of salmon and take criticism-get out of the kitchen!!!!

We have eaten here many times over the years, it's a nice pub with a varied menu. As we weren't in the main restaurant, we were tucked around the corner by the bar we felt that the service wasn't up to usual standards as we were easy to forget about. The food was good, but I prefer to visit in the summer when there are lighter options on the menu. Having said that, our party of 6 all enjoyed their meals and the service was friendly.

My wife and I dropped in for lunch after visiting Stowe Gardens (very convenient). From a fairly extensive menu I choose the liver and bacon with mash. The portion was huge and the quality good. My wife elected to have the 'over 60 s' menu (2 courses for £9.99) She had the roast chicken which was substantial and came with stuffing, 6 roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding.

On a short visit to Buckingham we were recommended this place for an evening meal by a local who had "never had anything but a very good meal" there. We visited quite early evening and were warmly greeted by the staff. My wife and I both ordered steak and ale pie with seasonal vegetables and asked if the listed mashed potatoes might be replaced by chunky chips? No problem - and clearly we were not the first to ask for this variation. Food was very good with the vegetables in a separate serving bowl to share and we each had an individual gravy boat with very tasty gravy. The edge of the pie crust was a little on the hard side for my tastes but the rest of the pie pastry was very good and the contents excellent. The chips were definitely a good idea - very nice indeed!

Have been here numerous times and they never fail to disappoint. Greeted by friendly and helpful staff always, very attentive to our needs. A menu full of so many choices so can always find something to eat, highly recommend ordering a side of cheesy garlic bread, my absolute favourite. My boyfriend always has the steak and always enjoys it, cooked perfectly and portion size is perfect too. Definitely recommend the starters on their summer menu lots of goodies to choose from. Deserts always come out looking picture perfect so you must save room for them, always have the choice of having ice cream, cream or custard so never fail to disappoint. If you have never tried the homemade cheesecake then you need to, always good!! Overall a place I love coming back to time and time again.

Booked a meal at Robin Hood, from the moment we arrived the service was terrible. Table not ready, staff dress looked shabby. Food was awful. Red wine and stilton sauce looked like brown water. Asked for medium rare steak, partner asked for medium steak. Steak was overcooked and tough. Mother in law asked her peas to be replaced with salad but was told this would be an extra charge. Both parents stated no horseradish sauce but were given the sauce. Ordered and paid for drinks at the bar . Informed the staff would bring drinks to table, we waited a very long time for these drinks. The bar staff member went on to serve anyone who came into the bar area. The landlady was not helpful by not understanding my complaint of poor service from start to end and the food was not acceptable. We were going to have desserts and decided to leave and never return to this venue!

The Robin Hood pub was recommended to me by a couple of people but I was a bit dubious when I read the mixed reviews. I went for lunch there yesterday with my husband. It was Bank Holiday Monday and was very busy.We found it to be excellent. Good service and food. The portions are enormous. The mixed grill my husband ordered was the largest amount of food on a plate id ever seen. My steak and ale pie was delicious and full of tender tasty steak. It was served with gravy, mashed potato and a selection of vegetables. There is a good selection on the menu to choose from and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend The Robbin Hood pub.

I brought six family and friends on Sunday for my husband's birthday, very disappointed. We have eaten at this pub on numerous occasions and always been satisfied with the food and the service but on Sunday it was diabolical. The service was not at all good, really didn't care if they served us or not. The table was booked for 1.30 and we eventually got our food an hour later. When it did arrive it was very disappointing, some of us had the Sunday roast and some had meals with chips, the chips were so dry and powdery and looked as if they had been just warmed up for a second time, as for the roast, come on frozen roast potatoes, the plate was swimming in gravy that had a skin on it and the beef, although plenty of it, was so tough that it was almost inedible. After this we all decided not to stay for dessert and certainly won't be visiting in the near future, if at all, which is such a shame as we have always loved this pub and the food and service.

Attractive country pub to visit after a walk around Stowe. We both had a Sunday roast, I had the veggie option. This was Moussaka, which struck me as an odd choice but was tasty and plentiful.

I have eaten here before, so expected a great meal. What did I get? The mixed grill was over cooked. I took part of it home for my cat. He would not eat the chicken. It was dry he normally LOVES chicken, so what could he smell that I couldn't? I tried eating the steak at home, it was so tough. The chips were soft and not crisp, not pleasant at all. I gave up with the steak in the restaurant. It was a case of chew chew and chew and eventually spit it out. My chocolate brownie with marsh mallows was just a mess on a plate, a melted mess on a plate. It looked awful. I was told it had been microwaved????? I was told last bit available. I complained at the time, I was offered something else, but was told items weren't available that I would have chosen. Has this restaurant changed hands? Nothing was as good as it used to be. Service was not great either. Coffee took an age to produce and when they did come my companions were saying that they did not get what they asked for.

We had lunch here today. I had an excellent fish lasagne although more a fish in cheese sauce, served with herb bread and a little salad. It was served piping hot. My husband had an 8oz sirloin steak which was done as he likes it - on the rare side of medium. We both had a wonderful banana cheesecake. I don't like any pub that has piped music which is very difficult to avoid, so we ate outside where there are massed banks of bedding plants. I would avoid eating here in Winter as I would any pub with piped music but my husband has eaten here several times and the standard of food has always been good. Good service too.

Here is a list of some (note only some, there are more but I do not have time to type them):1) Terrible variety of food on offer, NO healthy options and do not accomodate. 2) Slow service, we waited AGES for our food (bearing in mind this was a Monday lunch time) 3) I ordered a BLT Ciabatta. The bread came out soggy yet tough, drench in butter and fatty bacon. I asked for a side salad instead of the chips which they said they'd need to charge for which is absurd given that I didn't want the other side options.The sandwich came and in fact, had a small side salad anyway. 4) The side salad came, not dressed in balsamic as described but a dressing. It was very small and just not very good (if you can't do a side salad well, you haven't got much hope for anything else). 5) Everyone elses meals just tasted of grease! 6) We ordered drinks numerous times and they never came) we ended up having to stand and wait at the bar and insist of getting them there and then. 7) Dirty - needs a proper clean! That's all. The only good thing to say about it was the person who had the burger, said it was half decent. So if you do decide to go here (God knows why!) the burger seems to be the only safe option, as long as you'red prepared to wait an eternity to actually get it. Thanks :)

A good pub, a mile or so outside Buckingham. Have eaten here on several occasions and are yet to have a duff meal. Nothing terribly out of the ordinary foodwise, but always good quality & plenty of it at a very reasonable price. Also good beers..

We had pleasnt starters, the amount just enough to be appetizers, then classic British liver and onions, (two of us), and chicken roasts, (the other two.) The food was beautifully cooked and the service quick, efficient and warmly courteous. It's an attractive and comfortable old pub, with a neat little courtyard for sunny days. Our appetites just weren't up to puddings, because the portions of the main courses were so generous. We enjoyed our visit very much and will go back.

Beautiful Sunday roast as usual and good service. Bit of a pity that the roast potatoes were out of a bag which we've never had there before as they are normally fresh but still a lovely meal and will be back again

Had a mid week lunch here with family members. We have been here several times previously but not recently. Everyone agreed that their food choices were good - although personally for me my liver main course was overcooked. I have eaten this here previously when it was excellent. My fig and plum dessert was delicious as was the strawberry ice cream served on the side. Staff were very professional and friendly, Would recommend.

I arrived with my partner a few weeks ago on a Sunday, no booking.We'd passed this pub sooooo many times and every time - we always said .... 'we must pop in there'. The pup was FULL to the brim! But the staff we happy to see us, they were prompt in serving our drinks and est. a table for lunch would be available in 10-15 mins. We accepted and enjoyed the atmospheric ambience on offer.Sure enough ... within 10 mins, we were showed to our 'cleaned' table which has been set for our arrival.We ordered our Sunday roast ... it was delivered promptly, hot, presented well and for the price - we though it was a great meal and would definitely return without question.Jan Smith

We were recommended this pub by the barman of another local establishment who were not doing food on a Monday. We rang through to check they were doing food as it was a bank holiday around 1:30. Our barman was told that there wouldn't be space for us until around 2:30. Amazingly in the seconds that it took to pass the phone over, that had been pushed back another half an hour until 3:00pm! Being up for a challenge, the six of us set off to see just how busy this place was. On our arrival there were at least three empty tables, only one of which was booked. I can only imagine the chaos as huge numbers of customers made for the door in the five minutes it took for us to arrive. Whilst I enjoy a laid back lunch, the slightly disinterested approach of the staff serving was a novel approach to customer service I hadn't encountered before. The food was quite adequate for our needs and arrived before we felt the need to query if our order had actually made it to the kitchen. To our surprise, we managed to eat, drink and leave the establishment by 3:00; the time we had been told a table would be ready for us!I don't think we'll be returning in a hurry, but this will probably suit the attitude of the staff.

Have moved away a bit, so a special chance to return many months on. Friendly welcome from Owners and Staff as ever - great range of delicious food, served hot and without unnecessary delays. Just a very good place to recommend as well as to enjoy for ourselves! But do book ahead - they deserve their vg reputation!
