The Royal Standard in South Bucks

Enjoyable evening in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Good food , well cooked and presented, very prompt service. Staff very pleasant and helpful, good meal ,would definitely visit again and recommend. Thank you.

Strong 4 star traditional pub easily boosted to 5 stars due to exceptional service. Great range of traditional ales and cider in tip top condition and lovely food. Easy to sit back here and watch the world go by. Lovely location in the countryside and away from nearby towns.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is not extensive but this is made up by the wonderful staff and the way they are more than happy to adapt the dishes to suit intolerances. Excellent customer service!

A really friendly pub with a wide variety of food choices on the menu. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Update A year on, May 2024 Dinner 19.45 had the best Fish and Chips of my life. Marvellous, fresh fish, moist and crisp crunchy batter to die for. My Wife had a burger, she said it was excellent. This place gets the basics right inc staff, beer, wine cleanliness all 5 star 1st visit to Royal Standard for food for a year, very pleased. 2023 Great real ale & food, just had fresh scallops with black pudding, great lunch

Lovely evening. Meal tasty and very fresh. Service brilliant and attentive and they couldn’t do enough. Very reasonable prices too. Fish and chips were scrummy!

Fish and chips were very disappointing. Have been away for some years and only returned recently. I think there must be a change in management but their fish n chips was famous in the area. This time round, the batter was heavy and chewy, fish was tasteless, batter needs to be crispy and fluffy. Make sure temperature is high enough and use lighter flour mix. Text book error. Won’t be ordering that again.

A real family friendly pub, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Good selection of food and beverages, ample parking, well worth a visit

A good selection of beers, service and staff very friendly. They also serve food at reasonable prices Dogs are welcomed but not allowed in the dining area

A small pub restaurant with good tables. Parking was very good, with plenty of spaces. .The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

We had a booking for 10 for an 80th birthday. Cannot fault the place. First visit and was made to feel so welcome. Despite being 10 of us food was delicious, service amazing and the whole experience joyful so thank you all

Super pub. The food/atmosphere is excellent and staff can not be more helpful. They look after my wife’s parents very well. I really enjoy the crumble it’s great that they have so many berries in it.

Lovely pub . My phone and bike battery died just outside of this so the lad behind bar charged both for me for a couple of hours. Only negative was I got 2 drinks when lad was serving both good reasonable prices then when the woman was behind bar the drinks was over expensive . I don’t know if she was annoyed I was charging my things so got me back by overcharging or if he was giving me locals prices and she was giving me outsiders prices . not sure how some pubs work but once I got charged 8.80 for a double I left . Prices went from cheap to expensive . But it’s a nice pub

Very cosy place. Perfect for lunch. Nice food. 100% recommended

Proper old school pub, food is wonderful

Great pub grub excellent quality and lovely atmosphere

Welcomed despite the dogs with us. Selected basic pub food, which was done well, and a very nice glass of beer.

Has a sandwich at lunch and made with good sausages

First time here, very warm welcome, excellent service and great food. Check out the specials board for more food options.

Lovely building food basic pub grub as it was 20 years ago all food fresh from the freezer. The premises were very clean but a little cramped in dining area. Lots of parking.

Lovely traditional pub, great menu. Log fire was roaring.

Large selection of well kept real ales, cosy country pub. One of the best pubs around!

Excellent value for money, great tasty food, wonderful service, would highly recommend

Visited with a group of people. (24) service was excellent, a varied menu and the bread and butter pudding was to die for. All food was well presented.

Go here regularly and never disappointed. Only eaten a couple of times but always been ok

This is how a pub should be. This is like waking into a pub 20 years ago without the smoke but with all of the atmosphere and frivolity it used to have. There aren’t many places like this left and we treasure this place and the decor although clean and tidy is like the old days. That’s a good thing. Staff are always so friendly and the food is good value and served quickly. There are no frills to this place but there doesn’t need to be. A fabulous place for a bite to eat, a catch up and a nice drink. The wood burning stove was lit tonight and was just perfect as the weather had turned cold today. Various tables of various sizes chatting about their week with vigour. Thank you for never changing and the warm hug you get when you arrive 💋💋💋

Lovely pub, lovely atmosphere and lovely food. Had a Christmas meal with the famalam today and the service and friendliness was 👌. Will be back 😋

Super pub. The food/atmosphere is excellent and staff can not be more helpful. They look after my wife’s parents very well.

Great traditional pub food reasonably priced. Understandably busy .

Lovely traditional pub, great food, great beers and friendly service.

The food was amazing.My husband had the Barnsley chops and I had the steak and Ale pie.The food was so delicious. We then decided to have the bread and butter pudding,the best I had ever tasted. The atmosphere was so friendly.The lady serving was really lovely. Will be back again

Technically the Royal Standard is at Wooburn Common not High Wycombe. I visited with my Mum yesterday evening and the place was packed with people eating and drinking. A very good sign, especially on a week night. We had calamari chips and salad and sausage egg and chips, all really nice and very good value for money. The two guys serving behind the bar and taking orders were very friendly and hospitable and welcoming and we’d definitely visit again when I’m in the area. It was especially nice for my 91 year old Mum as her Dad used to visit the pub regularly so it brought back fond memories for her. It’s a good old fashioned pub not pretending to be something it’s not and the fact that it was packed on a Thursday tea time speaks for itself.

Lovely country pub selling real ales. Plenty of parking and friendly service

Very friendly staff, great service, good food and a nice atmosphere.

Lovely pub at the top of the hill. Great beer selection and the owners are very kind!

We stopped here for lunch on a cycling trip from London to Oxford and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I was thirsting for a pint of Timothy Taylor’s which they had. My girlfriend has hankering for a pint of neck oil which they also had. I was starving for a big portion of steak and ale pie and mash which they had. My girlfriend was in dire need of a burger and chips which they provided with wonderful service and understanding. Ten out of ten.

Always a warm welcome from the team here at thistraditional pub. Agreat selection of beers and a decent standard menu, with daily specials on the chalk board.

Lovely old pub! My dad's been going there since was a teenager, he's in his 70s now! Lovely Guiness

Beware the lady behind the bar!

This was our first visit as we were looking for a new pub to eat at. I ordered the ham egg and chips and my wife had the chilli. I must say it was a first class meal. We will be going back for a revisit and I think I’ll try the lasagne next

This was the first time we had visited this establishment despite having past it en route to other destinations, We were delighted by the traditional feel and decor and were greeted in a warm and friendly manner by the young man behind the bar, We had booked a meal and he sorted us out quickly with drinks ,menus and our table. The menu was good traditional pub grub. There was a good choice with an additional specials board. Plenty of choice, We enjoyed our food and thought prices were reasonable. We will certainly return.

Went for midweek meal and drinks, perfect food and service, well priced and value for money, highly recommend you will not be disappointed

Always great food and a warm welcome!

Our favourite pub to have a meal as food superb and can be couples or family our grandson loves it here. Bar staff always super friendly with nice relaxed feel, hate walking into clicky posh nosh places 😉you get my drift 😜

Fantastic cosy rural pub, visited lots of times over the years, all staff are exceptionally friendly and accomodating, food is home cooked to a high standard, great arrange of beers and ciders, good out side seating area, also a hut on the side, dogs welcome, nice oldey worldy inside with beams, a must visit

Great beer & good selection. I didn't have any food but a lot of people were eating. Traditional pub.

Been here before very nice & beer was good, nice stout.

Stopped in for a quick pint - great selection of ales as usual. Recommend the Black Diamond - 3.5, a great session ale, wish I could have stayed for more.

Excellent atmosphere, beer and Cider.

Lovely pub with very friendly & welcoming staff! Food was absolutely lovely and very quick service!

The menu here consists of phenomenal quantities of overpriced stodge. Had a horrible lunch of burger and chips . Chips were clearly frozen and were a pile of bits. Burger was ridiculously thick and unpleasant. Didn’t eat the bun. Felt awful almost as soon as I put down my cutlery and was then ill with food poisoning for next three days . Service was very poor even though pub wasn’t busy. Never again. .

Consistent excellent home cooked food. Never disappoints. And the ales are always expertly curated

Fine selection of ales good food

Good location and friendly staff but there is something about the place that doesn't suit me but I can't quite articulate it. For that reason 4 stars

Lovely traditional pub with friendly staff, good beer, tasty traditional pub food at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended

We had a very enjoyable lunch for 4 at the Royal Standard - great pub, good beer, friendly service, and lovely food at reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommended - why can't more country pubs be like this?!

Great pub, great choice of beer and ale. Good honest pub grub.

Great food and very good selection of beers. Friendly staff, well worth a visit.

Great range of ales and lovely staff

Really friendly Barman , great selection of ales / ciders on tap. A pub as a pub should be.

A cosy old fashioned interior with many separate seating areas indoors and out. Friendly service and a traditional range of food such as burgers, chicken strips, fish / halloumi and chips, baguettes etc. A big plus is that they will try to cater for smaller appetites by reducing the portion size e.g. fewer fishcakes. Great for people who don't want to feel daunted by a plateful of food they don't want. I didn't have the mash with my steak and ale pie so I had room for the bread and butter pudding! NB there is a different Royal Standard in Beaconsfield. They are not linked.

Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommend

We visited the Royal Standard last week following my Aunts funeral, the pub was a long time family favourite years ago when I was growing up, it hasn’t really changed much since then and is still a very traditional olde world pub. The menu is varied and prices are very good, my Mum had sausages, eggs, chips and salad , I had chicken strips, chips and salad, my cousin had fish and chips and her husband had chilli and all of the meals were really nice with big portions, Mums 3 sausages were of very good quality and drinks were also reasonably priced. We would definitely return to the pub for food when next in the area.

Friendly staff and environment. Good value and tasty food.

Lovely old pub with good tasty food. No loud or piped music. Just people having a good natter. Staff are really friendly and helpful. We try to go there every time we're in the area .

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Very friendly, traditional English pub.

Great selection of beers and great outside seating for smokers

The Royal Standard continues to buck the trend of the modern public house by doing 2 traditional things very well. It wins awards year in year out for some very well kept ales, and it serves honest, no messing about tasty pub grub. Forget foams, smears, dehydrated this that and the other, you come here for a decent Chilli, Fish & Chips and Sausages & Mash. Huge value for money - 2 mains and 2 alcohol free beers for £27! Friendly staff and a pub with regulars, it's a proper destination pub but not for the usual reasons... You'll come here for a no nonsense pub experience and long may it continue.

Excellent pub food, well cooked. Extensive menu, with good, friendly service and lovely old premises. I left my jacket mistakenly in the pub, and contacted them a few days later, after we had returned from our holiday. Spoke to a very helpful member of staff, who confirmed I had left it, and promised to send it, refusing my plea to pay. Jacket now received in perfect condition! What brilliant service, seldom seen today!

Fantastic place, fantastic choice of craft ales!

This fabulous village pub with its 10 Real Ales,6 Ciders (some local) excellent food and convivial atmosphere. Is back to its brilliant best after all the Covid nonsense.

Great pub - brilliant selection of 10 beers - even greater now it's back on form after all the Covid nonsense.

Excellent food and a warm welcome on arrival, some more expensive eating establishments in nearby Beaconsfield could learn a lesson or two here. It is a typical English pub - long may it continue.

Following Covid I re-established my annual birthday party at the Royal Standard. Everything worked out brilliantly - Great Paella cooked outside and the weather cooperated. I love this place and all the people in it. And send my thanks and best wishes to the RS proprietors, Mark and Kirsten Lloyd and Darren Johnson and their staff for their great organisational skills.

Friendly people,grat food ,Ales to die for🍻🍻🍻🍺

Not had a meal since lockdown ..pleased the standards of food quality and service are the same if not better...hope to return soon....Mike

Rude grubby bar person, we asked for a high chair and where told we don’t provide them, her manner was unacceptable. I live local to this place but won’t be recommending or visiting again

Not bad for a village pub but glasses were dirty, car park is covered with pot holes and the locals make it feel quite daunting when you first go in. Wouldnt be my first choice for an evening out at a pub. Didnt try the food but menu looked pleasant.

Good food, excellent beers, nice place, good value

Great traditional pub. Superb beer and food.

Awesome drinking & dinning experience, a proper country pub, love it, my new local 🍻😍🍻

A really friendly welcome greeted us as we went for a family lunch together. The food was delicious and my only problem was having a "Christmas" tummy without enough room for it all!

Great people great food amazing place

I come here from time to time to meet up with friends who live locally. How utterly refreshing to come to such an unspoilt pub. Not a hint of ghastly grey Farrow and Ball paint to be seen, no silly little boys and girls with their names laminated to there starched white blouses herding you around with that dreadful false bon ami. You don't suffer the indignity of being called Sir at the bar. Proper ale and decent food for those who require it. How did we ever loose pubs like this?

On our way to Bourne End . . Recommended to eat here by local garden centre! Perfect!! Delightful pub Welcoming ambiance and roaring fire to warm us . . . BUSY! A good sign and deservedly so . . . it proved Nice table and a wide choice of food on the menu I had fish pie (superb!!!) and my wife Hake, also delicious Finished with a shared dessert of bread and butter pudding Overall the most tasty meal in relaxing surroundings Thank you The Royal Standard for recharging our batteries!!! PS and for personal and attentive service too!!!!!!

29th October My wife and I were taken out for a meal, on arrival instantly realised what a lovely pub / restaurant this looked what with the flower arrangements etc. There is out building for the smokers with table and chairs, I dare say in the summer it would be great to eat there if you were a smoker. We received a warm friendly welcome and shown our table, read the menu, plenty of choice. My wife ordered Fillet of Sea Bass, ( a special from the board), myself ordered the Cumberland sausages with chips and eggs, I received three Cumberland sausages and two eggs. Our friends ordered the Scampi and chips and Fish and Chips. All in all the food was perfect, excellent produce, served with care, my wife fully enjoyed her meal along with our friends and I thoroughly enjoyed mine. Our meals were either £9.50 / £10.00 superb price and plentiful, however I did ask for the suite menu but the Apple and Blackberry Crumble jumped out and especially the choice of Custard, well it was a no brainer and I had to try it. Superb, is all whats needed to say. All the meals arrived hot as they should be, nothing worse than luke warm meals, the evening, ambiance, and company was a winning formula, we will be returning next time we are down south. Sam B.

Great choice of beers and outdoor seating

Visited for the first time since the lockdowns started. Still a nice quiet pub that hasn't been spoilt by TV screens or fruit machines. Food still excellent, good size portions. Staff friendly as usual. Unfortunately they no longer have HPA but they have some, equally as good, alternative beers. Will definitely be going back. IMO this is one of the best pubs in the area.

Had a good lunch here with friends, nice home cooked food, lots of different ales on tap, staff make you feel welcome, would recommend.

Old pub ,spit and sawdust . Like the vibe ,but no food on a Sunday 🤷🏻‍♂️.Bag of crisps it is then 😬

Nice pub food and staff. A great out the way pub.

Nice relaxing place to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

A true family run British pub, with great traditional pub grub. Really glad we stopped off here after a family day out at Odds Farm next door.

Excellent pub food. Great selection of real ales. Friendly service. Classic country pub environment.

Stopped of on the way home from work and enjoyed a really good pint of Landlord. In fact it was so good, I had to have another.

Everyone was outside so indoors was empty. Food served as usual except Sundays. I will go there again

Brilliant place to eat ...Covid safe ...highly recommend... Good menu...lovely staff..

Decided to go here after an amazing family day at odds farm.What a terrible idea. The place is smelly, dingy with an old disgusting decor. To make matters worse the food (fish and chips) was inedible. Soggy and greasy.This place is not child friendly and to top it off a group of lads in there smoking den to the side of the pub made rude remarks to my wife.AVOID

Went for lunch recently food was greasy and cold notified staff member “Dean” he was short, chubby with greasy slicked back hair. Upon notifying him about our concerns he was rude and unhelpful. We soon left the premises as the service was terrible and “Dean” was obnoxious while failing to deal with our concerns.

Attended for the England Scotland game this evening had no choice but to leave as we were disgusted by the open drug use in the toilets, the pub was poorly kept and there was a disturbing odour. We raised our concerns with the staff about the above issues they were rude and didn’t seem to care or do anything about them very disappointed and would recommend people avoid this establishment in the future.
