The Seven Stars in Aylesbury Vale

Really lovely place, lovely publican, Great food, gem in the middle of nowhere;

Had a lovely meal last night from the Christmas menu, I choose a veggie option for a change. Absolutely delicious. One of the best meals out! The restaurant was full, but service and timing was faultless! Well done to you all, keep it up, and happy Christmas to you all

One of the best pub meals I've had for a long time. Stephanie and the rest of the staff gave us a warm welcome and were very attentive to our group of eight. Great beer as well!

Flying visit but nice spot for a pint. Friendly and welcoming bar staff

Fantastic village run pub, great staff, lovely food and specials board

We popped in to this pub hoping for a cup of tea while in the area. The staff member was closing up for a short time, however she kindly served us tea which we drank while sitting in the nice garden. She checked that we were OK, offered use of the toilets, then locked up and left us to enjoy our tea. On a fairly quick look the pub looks very nice inside, the menus on display were interesting too, and the place is certainly worth a longer visit in the future.

The quintessential English country pub. Glorious. Lovely service team. Good food. Lovely atmosphere. Dogs greeting everyone in the bar. Old guys chatting on the stools. We were gutted to leave

Varied lunchtime menu, good food and decent service in a nice environment

Amazing old pub with Amazing food. Friendly staff and good Beer!!! The Hazy pale was a winner from us.

As always very welcoming, quick service and great food. My 7 year old has declared it his favourite pub...

We were staying at Hartwell House and came here for dinner on a recommendation. The place exceeded expectations for us, it’s very cozy and we were very impressed with the food and how reasonably priced it was. Would definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

Absolutely amazing Sunday roast. Everything is cooked and presented to perfection. The desserts are incredible and the atmosphere is of a lovely country pub.

Food was great and service excellent.

This pub was new to us all but had been recommended. We received a friendly welcome from the staff and they were attentive but didn’t rush us. All the dishes from the extensive menu were good and we all really enjoyed the puds!! We will return even though it was a bit of a trek through the countryside in poor weather.

Staff was so friendly and the food was very good. I’d recommend this place to anyone

Having heard some great reviews from Friends, I phoned them & Booked a Table in the Bar as we have a 4 Legged Companion. We was greeted by a very Bubbly Landlady & two very Young Professional Waitress's. Between us we had a variety of Dishes that were all Excellent. Can't wait to return.

Very nice pub for a drink and bite to eat. Lovely outside spaces and inside too. The food is always amazing with my favourite being the French brown onion soup by far!! Recommend making a booking for inside as it’s very popular !!

Brilliant food, fantastic proprietors Spot on staff Fav vibe (it was Christmas) Affordable high quality food I would highly recommend this establishment

Proper old pub. Friendly efficient staff and good beer. Also has a lovely garden.

Had a great time on Saturday at the Dinton Beer Festival. 🍺

Food was pub fare, but really well done. Lovely scotch egg to start and everyone enjoyed their food. Very accommodating keeping as much on the menu as possible for the coeliac in the group as well.

What more can I say. Super impressed. Pet friendly, lovely outside garden community owned, friendly staff. 5 star menu selection and professionally presented. A gastro pub that is now my top favourite. Lovely walk afterwards.

Great Community owned thatched pub in a Chocolate Box village location. Great crowd of locals and great atmosphere. Lovely garden outside with several sun trays. Beer Fest of local ales in August too!

Landlady was up front and engaging with customers, full of energy, personable. The staff exactly the same, no clueless youngsters. Food was fantastic. Property presented really well in good condition, lovely gardens.

Popped in here as a half way point on a long journey. Our only disappointment is not being in the area more often! Lovely community owned pub with lots of locals. Service was super friendly and efficient with nothing being too much trouble, including gluten free requirements. The real star (sorry, couldn't resit) is the food. Fantastic French inspired food with high quality ingredients. The onion soup a particular favourite! I'll be looking for a excuse to detour via the Seven Stars again!

Great community owned pub in the heart of an extremely pretty village. Very friendly and welcoming staff with lovely food. Lots of parking and a large beer garden. Highly recommended.

So, so good. Warm welcome, great service and brilliant menu which turns out to be just as good in the eating. Can't recommend enough as a place to stop by for dinner!

Very enjoyable Sunday lunch, friendly service. My roast beef was one of best I have had. I didn't have a starter but apparently hummus outstanding!

Great food. A cut above most places

Sunday roast was fantastic. Good selection of beers and good outside beer garden.

Visited the seven Stars for lunch on a lovely sunny afternoon and we really enjoyed our meal and the service we received. We ate outside and the relaxed atmosphere was perfect. The food was great and we had Calamari and Scotch Egg starters, for mains we had Haddock and chips and Ham Egg and chips from the specials board and for dessert was Rhubarb Creme Brûlée and Chocolate Brownie. It was a lovely afternoon and we will definitely be back again soon.

Sat in garden although we had booked a table to be on the safe side. Pub centrally located between where we both live 120 miles apart. Staff were superb, manager, and as we referred to him, tongue in cheek, 'Intern'. Lunch time food of Ciabattas, pork ribs and Thick Cut Triple Cooked Chips superb, especially the crispy bacon. We will go back during the summer.

Superb service and food. We had Ciabattas, pork ribs and thick cut triple cooked chips If you haven't already, try it. If you haven't already try it.

The landlady is an absolutely lovely person, always smiling and very attentive to everyone. Food was incredible, and great portions too! Will definitely be back :)

Unimpressed by the menu. Complete lack of plant based options. The sever gave me a Yorkshire pudding despite telling her I am vegan!

Five of us thoroughly enjoyed fine meals and a very pleasant evening. Definitively on my list of places to return to on our next visit to the UK.

The food here is exceptional, delicious home made dishes both traditional and with a twist, with attentive and friendly service. Highly recommended.

nice people nice meal . will go again .but next time we will wear a berry and a striped T shirt and a string of onions as the landlady insists on lapsing into pidgeon french xxx

What a delightful place, a good pub and great restaurant. Fantastic menu, I had a goats cheese salad, steak and cheese. What more could a man want. The restaurant is overseen by a exceptional French lady with a wonderful sense of humour.

This is an excellent pub with a super restaurant on one site hidden away in Dinton. Good outside seating and nice tables inside. Interesting menu of courses produced in-house. All overseen by experienced team lead by a delightful lady full of fun. This quite a find and I will be back.

Lovely place. Brilliant food and great staff.

Really excellent lunch for a family get together of 10. Well looked after despite there being another large table plus other diners to cater for. All the meals were delicious with excellent selections of accompaniments preceded by good starters, tasty desserts and lovely cheese boards. Would recommend to anyone.

We had a wonderful meal, with good options for friends with intolerances. Including desserts which they were very happy about! Had the burger and it was delicious! Great selection of cheese in cheese board locally sourced which is great! Will definitely be back. Great to see a village pub so busy!

Staff welcoming and friendly. Flood was well presented and tasty.

Went here for 25th wedding anniversary meal. Staff very friendly and the food was tasty. A tucked away gem. Reasonable prices .

This was our first time at The Seven Stars - it was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The pub is lovely - very relaxed, service was excellent and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

What a great restaurant. The dining area was full, but there was still space around the tables. The service was fantastic, prompt and very polite staff. It didn't take long for the excellent food to arrive. Both the Roast Pork and Beef were a delight. The Sticky Toffee pudding was a dream.

good food and lovely staff members we will be back soon and thanks you for the good food and for the warm welcome see you next week.

Seven Stars is a real favourite of ours. You're greeted with energy and warmth and looked after well. The staff are exceptional, as is the food. It's popular, so book a few weeks in advance! ❤️

Steph and her team are all very welcoming and they serve top quality food and good beer. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly with great service. It’s well worth a visit.

We have been to the Seven Stars many times before and always enjoyed the experience. Not so much this time, however. We were there early (6pm) for a celebratory birthday dinner. There were 10 of us. We were in the Snug and at the time we arrived, the dining room was empty. Despite this the service was very slow it took from 6pm till gone 9pm for us to finish our meal. With regard to the food, the Starters were all excellent but our main courses, without exception, were all far too salty. We only identified this when we all discussed it later.it was interesting that on this occasion Steph was absent!

Another fantastic evening .. amazing service / staff - an absolute credit to your gorgeous pub.... lovely food made even better by perfect hosts xx

We visit this restaurant regularly as Steph and her team are so welcoming. There is always a friendly atmosphere and the food is excellent. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great venue for dining and drinking. Recommended!!

Really enjoyed our visit last night to the Seven Stars. Right from the start we were made to feel welcome and well looked after. The staff were efficient and courteous and the food was delicious. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance and was warm and cosy. We were a little worried when we read some negative reviews but decided to take a chance as it was halfway between us and were not disappointed. Will definitely go there again.

Great wholesome food with Non meat options at a good price. Excellent service and great atmosphere.

Fabulous food, lovely cosy restaurant and an amazing host, who always makes you feel so welcome.

This pub is a Gem in the village of Dinton. The food is fabulous, the service is great and the atmosphere is what you would expect from a country pub. Will be returning for sure.

This is a very well run gastro pub just outside Aylesbury. The menu is varied and pleasant and the Guinness is cold. A very pleasant experience.

Stef and team do a brilliant job keeping everyone happy, food is excellent and good value. Super range of beers and wine. Love it there x

Went for lunch was busy but staff were so good .Had slow cooked beef, delicious. Best pub to eat.

Excellent food and service, all the food arrived together which was great for a big table of 12 people 😀

Fantastic food. Excellent service 👏 never disappointed.

Six of went for an evening meal and not for the first time. Even though the restaurant was very busy the service could not be faulted. All the food for our table arrived at the same time. The food itself was excellent. Great village pub and restaurant.

My first time in the area, and a meal so good, I had to leave a review! What an absolute gemstone this place is! We had a cheeky little Christmas Table for 2 which we pre-ordered! The place was bustling, but the staff here are so kind and attentive, it didn't seem to phase them in the slightest. The food, oh my golly gosh, the food!! My wife had the Apple and Celeriac Soup to start and the Turkey for main, I had the Salmon Mousse and then the Butternut squash. Every mouthful was just as delicious as the last, from start to finish, the meal was exceptional! What ever the chefs are doing here, they need to keep on doing!! This place is truly special! We shall definitely be returning!

Just had the lovely Xmas menu 3 courses, couldn't fault it, excellent food and service. Thank you.

Went to the seven stars for lunch with friends. We had such a warm welcome when we arrived( like we were family) we ordered our lunch and my friends ordered a starter but it had cheese on which i would of loved but I'm dairy free. When food was delivered they brought me the same starter with a dairy free option with vegan cheese. This restaurant really went that extra mile and will definitely be visiting again. Nothing was too much trouble and food was excellent. Thank you

We have eaten here a few times and always complimented the chef on the quality of the food and the staff on their great customer service, so today was a bit of a shock! My wife had chestnut soup. It was tasteless She then had the Butternut squash roast for a main course. It was so awful that she couldn't eat it. The young girl serving us looked like she worked in a school canteen, the plates of food were unceremoniously dumped on the table in front of us. When we did complain about the food, there were no apologies, just shrugged her shoulders. I had the fish pie, which again wasn't as amazing as it was before, and gave me an upset stomach. Everything about the lunch was just awful and disappointing!! The French lady (Manager?) that is normally there was noticeably absent, I know she would've been horrified at the standard of customer service. Was it a different chef, maybe?? Who knows. It used to be one of our favourite pubs now we will never go there again, which is a shame as it is a beautiful community owned place.

Delicious food; friendly and helpful staff; and a great village pub atmosphere.

Friendly and helpful customer service excellent all needs taken into account. Food brilliant. Thankyou

This is one of our favourites - the food is sublime, not just good pub food but really high quality ingredients cooked perfectly. The welcome is warm and friendly, staff never look rushed, and it is always a genuine pleasure to visit.

Utterly worthy. Superb staff, with a good balance of friendly but professional. Excellent food...have been several times now and I think this time was the best. Mackerel pate, light and clean with a fabulous balanced chutney. Pulled pork spring rolls with a good dipping sauce. Prawns of excellence..... And rather a cheeky bar snack as a starter... one of the best houmous with bread. Warning on that one... It's substantial because it's a bar snack! We managed though :-) ... With broad smiles. Then Sunday roasts for some, and excellent fish pie, 7 star burger, and a plaice with cockles that created smiles and happy vibes. Yorkshires and good gravy, nice veg,.... And nice people. It's, lovely leaving somewhere when everyone's happy, smiling and talking about what the ate. Thank you. We enjoyed every morsel and we are pleased you're within a sensible drive

Attended with family for Sunday lunch today and we were not disappointed. We were a table of 14 and all enjoyed delicious roasts (all delivered to the table at the same time) served by happy, polite and attentive staff. It was a real pleasure to dine here and hopefully will be returning again soon. Definitely recommended.

This lovely venue never disappoints. Stephanie and her great team always provide a welcoming friendly, efficient service. Today was the first time we have visited for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and well presented. On arrival for a 1.00 booking, the restaurant was completely full and the atmosphere was lovely. Tables were cleared quickly, ready for the next diners who were enjoying the bar.

Excellent meal. Thoroughly enjoyed our food

Great local village pub, food is restaurant quality. Steph is amazing host, she keeps an eye on everything. All food is delicious, especially the Roasts, and I love the lemon tart. Definitely one of my favourite eating venues in the area.

Stephanie couldn't have made us feel more welcome, was a great accomplice in keeping the birthday cake secret until the key moment and clearly has a great relationship with her regulars. The food was great tasting, good home cooked dishes and the website didn't really do them justice. Also dog friendly, which our pup appreciated.

I had heard good things about this pub, and wow did it deliver. From the moment we walked in till the moment we left the service was excellent! Then the food! Wow, i have the fish pie and my friend had the Lamb special!! Delicious. The desserts were the same. I also think the wine by the glass was high quality. A lot of the time you go to pubs and the wine by the glass is not great. I can't wait to come back!!!

The best way to spend Sunday , and as for Stephenie well what a host

Lovely quiant country pub with fantastic food. Some classic British pub classics done very well alongside some French dishes. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu and will be recommending to friends and family as well. Hearing the story of the pub I don't think you could ask for better people to run it.

Fabulous. Hot, well presented food that was delicious. Friendly attentive service made for a great evening. This was restaurant high quality food. Thank you

A gem of a pub! Excellent food and great service!

A really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Good food at sensible prices and the Owner could not have been more helpful. A full restaurant with a lovely atmosphere.

We went for Sunday lunch for my daughters birthday Excellent menu for Sunday lunch not just your run-of-the-mill roast. Brilliant, friendly service (Especially Eliza) and wonderful wine choice. My Son has a nut allergy and was easily catered for. We would highly recommend.

Wonderful pub, wonderful food, well kept ales, great outdoor space, really fabulous team... love it, five stars just aren't enough..... !

Lunch in the garden on a lovely day, nothing better.

Excellent well made food with wide choice. Good service and atmosphere.

Such a lovely pub; great food, drink & friendly, welcoming staff. Perfect pit stop for our winter walk!

Beautifully cooked and presented food, although prices have risen since Covid.

It's really pretty and a nice walk from Haddenham on a summer's day. Lovely outside drinking and lovely service. Menu looks great but found food to be just ok really, not bad, just not particularly notable. Dessert was the best part though;) Will happily return for a drink and some of the surrounding area!

We took the public footpath from behind the Dinten Hermt. The footpath crosses all kinds of famers fields and nature passing through fields of barley and rye to emerge outside the local village school. You then head through the Churchyard opposite of St. Peter and Paul and turn left along the quiet country road passing Dinton Hall..That in itself is amazing to enter the small village of Dinten turn right after the Old Post office Cottage ( And I mean Old).Just up the hill after passing a few Cottages that you would give your eye teeth to own you.are groeten by the Beer Garden and Small Car Park of the Seven Stars enter the Pub and it is as if you are in the Seventh Heaven but have travelled back in time with Jules Verns Time Machine. After visiting there you wont want to return to The Real World.....Believe Me we have screwed that up. When you vist the Seven Stars and see the Little Village of Dinten you will become a believer.

Delicious food, excellent service. Friendly staff.

Amazing pub at the end of a scenic walk leading to the sleepy village of Westlington. Friendly service and good draught beers. Food was good, freshly cooked, although can be even better! The summer Eton mess was the highlight of the visit! We will definitely be visiting again.

Wonderful food and lovely service and great beers etc. Just check opening hours. Recommended.

Delicious food and drink served by very pleasant and accomodating staff in a lovely setting.The Rebellion beer is a particular favourite.

My husband and I were lucky enough to get a table last evening, and we both had the Cod special which it lived up to its description and much more, I can honestly say it was one of the best meals we have had for a long time and we eat out a lot! the flavours were just amazing and we cannot wait to return, and what with being served by lovely staff our evening was a great success. well done everyone.

First time trying the 7 Stars. Arrived slightly early for our booking so asked to sit outside while we looked at menus. Came inside and were pointed to our table in the restaurant. Sat for about 20-25 minutes before we had to go and find someone to take our order. Starter was good, baked camambert, plenty of bread came with it which is often where other places fall short. Mains. We'd ordered the Tuna steak rare (which according to the waiter is how they coom it by default anyway) - it came out well done and chewy so had to ask for another piece. Also ordered the tiger prawn and crab pasta. They looked much more like King Prawns (first world problem I know) and there was no crab at all. Pointed this out to the waitress who went to the kitchen and came back saying some crab was being prepared for me. Then she came back again to ask if I'd like the whole dish re-made, which I said no to as didn't like to waste what had already. been cooked. Slowly carried on eating once the new tuna steak had been served, but got to the end of the meal and still no crab had appeared. Called the waiter over, who then assured me there was definitely crab in my dish, and asked "do you know what crab looks like?" - yes I do and I also know what it tastes like, there definitely wasn't any crab at all! He then argued that there definitely was as he'd watched the chefs preparing my meal - how he knew it was my dish in particular I'm not sure as he hadn't served it. He then admitted that maybe he hadn't because he thought I'd sent the plate back after the initial complaint he must have been watching a different dish being prepared.......... Lady behind the bar was happy to take 50% off the food cost, but we would have been happy to pay full price for everything except the pasta had the waiter been honest and just more courteous, rather than denying there was anything wrong and trying to mansplain what crab is. Not the best experience, and makes you wonder how many other people have ordered dishes which are missing key ingredients.

Stopped for lunch by chance. A fantastic experience. The care and attention of the staff was outstanding. We only wanted snacks (ordered two starters to share). They were really yummy. Would recommend the scotch egg and the potato skins.

Excellent food, good and varied choice on menu. Very warm welcome and lovely friendly atmosphere.

Had lunch here at this delightful pub which offers great outdoor seating if you wish to eat out. (Ear defenders needed today because of the hedge cutting machine) The food is very tasty and very well presented. Portion sizes could have been slightly larger, adding £2 on thd Bill for cheese and bacon on a burger which is already £15 ?? Service was a little slow, waiting 20 mins for our drinks and having to ask for bill, but it was a very relaxed atmosphere and we weren't in a rush. Adding a very cheeky service charge (10%) to the Bill, is probably not the most sensible decision for many restaurants but here it was. Customers discretion is generally best left to the Customer, but hey what do I know about that. We might return sometime in the future and try the Sunday lunch sitting and then maybe forgive the Service charge, but for a Saturday lunchtime meal whether its one course or three, disappointment. 8/10 over all But be prepared to pay its very good quality food served in a fantastic location but I would not want to pay any higher prices for the portion sizes.
