My husband went round on 11/10/24 with our new puppy as we are trying to make sure he is well socialised he was told by the ginger haird bar man to go some where quite as it not exceptional. This is our local pub and have been going round for years and never had any problems as thay are supposed to be dog friendly. We will not be going round there again with our dogs if they aren't welcom Very unhappy The pub is going down hill Thay don't like young people or family's If you are old you are welcome Wouldn't recommend this pub to anyone Use to be a lovely pub very sad

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.

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

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 💋💋💋

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.

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.

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.

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. .

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

Quite busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, but space enough for the 4 of us. Ordered 1 x fish & Chips, 1 x Scampi & Chips & 1 x Fish pie which was shared by 2 (to be honest more than enough). All delicious and plates cleared. We followed with 3 x Apple Crumble & Ice cream (as opposed to custard) but when requested were more than happy to provide cream as well. AND 1 x Ice cream - I just needed something sweet, a scoop of vanilla & salted caramel . . . job done. All beautifully presented, but sadly I have no photo's as I wanted to eat, not photograph!
