The quality of food was rather disappointing. Rump steaks were have ordered were literally burned to coal. Portions were also surprisingly small as for adults. Not to mention the length of awaiting for food. Generally nice place but some improvements would be very welcomed.

Nice pub atmosphere but the food took a while and when it came the burgers were cold. We also received the starters at the same time as the mains.

Has a most enjoyable evening with family. A beautiful historic building with lots of atmospheric charm. Food came swiftly and piping hot. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, including a good vegan option for my daughter. I highly recommend the fish and chips! Will definitely visit again. Only negative was the ladies toilets were untidy and the only available toilet didn't flush! Would have given 5 stars overall, if it hadn't been for this problem.

Took some colleagues from Spain and France here after a busy day to show them a proper British pub experience! It was a great night, a perfect balance of good food, friendly pub atmosphere, reasonable pricing and an array of cask ales - which our Spaniard enjoyed very much! Will definitely be our go-to in future

Went for Sunday lunch, ordered the duo roast which is £4 extra than the beef roast however you get less beef and a small portion of chicken which was extremely dry! Beef over cook full of sinew and only one slice given per plate, the beef roast is 3 slices so the maths doesn’t quite add up. Yorkie is massive but so dry and crispy everyone’s was the same so it wasn’t a one off looks great but no flavour and that sums up the whole roast no flavour no texture won’t be returning.

The Six Bells in Thame is a fabulous place to eat or just have a drink. The pub itself is full of character and spotlessly clean with a great outside area, including a charming ‘barn’ undercover section with heaters and plenty of tables in the sunshine. What really tops it for me is the great team who work so hard to make you feel welcome. Naomi, Gen & Charlotte are an absolute credit to The Bells, they always give a genuine warm welcome and fantastic service. Thank you Team Bells, we will be back!

Six of us dined in the cosy atmosphere of the dining area at the back, quieter than the main pub. Excellent, friendly service from Charlotte, thank you. Food was prompt and all of us enjoyed - fish and chips, ox cheek ragu, pie and mash, burger. All good. Helpful, knowledgeable advice for food allergies (gf). Tasty beers. Overall the best place in Thame for a pub meal and a friendly welcome.

This pub has everything you need, it was nicely lit with candles with plenty of nice tables to choose from. We were looked after by Gen and Vanessa & they were both friendly and attentive. I had the steak & ale pie which was so tasty and a huge portion and my partner had the oxtail ragu pasta which we were also impressed with. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced and good quality. Would definitely recommend to anyone heading to Thame & we look forward to returning again soon.

Visited with friends. Great service very friendly and patient as we had arrived early for a catch up before eating . Intended to sit in bar but was allowed to go to table. Staff were attentive and helpful. Variety of food ordered: fillet steak on special - very good quality and cooked as asked, fish pie- excellent, steak & ale pie very good as was the burger. All had ‘mini’ puds but not that mini . All in all very good would come again. My only criticism would be the heating , considering energy bills I was surprised to find the heating full on , it was very hot and other tables seemed to be suffering too , fanning & trying to open a window. We managed to turn our rad off but didn’t really help with area in the back.

Frequent visitor to the 6 Bells, always friendly and welcoming. after having a baby I am more aware of facilities that different venues have to offer. I am sad to learn that the 6 Bells do not offer baby changing facilities, their website states family friendly but as I found out maybe not friendly to families with babies. Therefore I am unable to visit with my child.

Four of us visited Six Bells for Christmas Party menu. The whole experience was excellent. The soup starter delicious, the tiramisu and Christmas pudding desserts excellent, but the main star of the show was the turkey roast which was very generously portioned, lovely turkey, plenty of gorgeous roasties and loads of well-cooked sprouts. Plenty of gravy. Compliments to the chef Nothing was too much trouble, the service was friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Jen, our main server who was professional, welcoming and helpful throughout the evening. Definitely recommended.

Service is nothing to complain about and the pub itself is nice. But the food is an absolute scam of money. Portion sizes are ridiculously small as if the six bells is some sort of fine dining Michelin star experience (its not) and for what I paid (£20 for what were essentially three sides, which was supposedly a 3 for 2 deal..) what I got was nothing special and so small in size it was just comical. The other items on the menu suffered from the same symptoms (namely absurd prices for small and uninspiring meals), I would recommend eating pub food somewhere else.

Two lovely lunches at The Six Bells this week. Stopped off on the way to a short break in Oxford and enjoyed it so much we repeated the experience on way back. The sandwiches are delicious and generous and come with gorgeous chunky chips. Plenty of choice for veggies too. Just what we’re looking for at lunchtime, all enjoyed in front of an open fire. The staff were lovely. We’ll be sure to be back.

My initial welcome was poor as I sat at the bar for a couple of mins and with 3 people behind the bar I eventually asked if I could buy a beer!!! After that it was ok but to be honest was feeling it so we had one drink and left. For info they serve food on bank holidays until 6pm with there normal menu and do have some daily specials such as Monday is pub classics for £10 and Tuesday I is 2 steaks and bottle of wine for £60. It’s dog friendly, has a car park at the rear and a heated external seating area. Nice enough but have been to better more friendly fullers pubs

Driving down to London, we decided to break our journey and booked in for lunch. We were made very welcome and taken to our table. Not a wide selection of real ales, no ESB (which was a shame) so I had London Pride. The soup starter, pean and mint, was lovely. After being assured the vegan plant burger was cooked on a separate grill to the meat and fish, I settled on the vegan burger for my main meal. My wife ordered the fish and chips. Both meals were substantial, freshly cooked and enjoyed. Excellent and attentive service, excellent meal. Inside and outside dining. Would definitely return if in the area. There is a small car park, with free parking.

Ordered 2 roast sirloin Sunday lunch. It arrived within 3/4 min As we were the first to be served we expected that it would be hot. Far from it it was not even warm. We had 1/2 a carrot and parsnip very small cauliflower cheese , large but unedited Yorkshire pudding thick bisto gravy and a spoonful of cabbage My friend sent hers back . I was so hungry I started eat mine My friends second attempt was not anybetter. She left 2/3 of it. Iasked for the bill and the very good waiter apologised and took her meal of the bill without any qualms. I'll never go back

We were going to an opera staged in the local church so were looking for a “pre-theatre” supper - the Six Bells was ideal. Booked for 6pm - we were taken to a good table by attentive young man who took drinks order and gave us menus. Young woman took orders of crunchy prawns and squid (which we shared) served with a salad and aioli… Mains: we had a burger (beautifully cooked beef) and the special hot smoked salmon salad. Glasses of Côte du Rhône complemented the food - and we left a few minutes after 7 to get to the opera. Couldn’t have been better!

First time eating here. Food was very tasty and good value for money. Wasn't too busy so didn't have to wait too long for the food. Just a shame the service let it down. The member of staff with blonde hair made no effort to smile or make eye contact at any point, either at the bar or serving food, which made one feel like an inconvenience. Not a very welcoming feeling.

We have always liked the food and service in Harvesters. Always been loyal customers. However, our most recent experience was not great at all. The place was busy, the salad bar was quite empty and the food took a much longer time to arrive which we could excuse as a one-off. But some of the food was not cooked through unfortunately, which believe it or not, again we sort of excused as staff apologised and replaced it. What we cannot overlook however was the menu has changed and unfortunately all the tasty parts of the food have been replaced with hard, tasteless freezer food. Prices have gone up too, which is understandable but they should not have messed with the quality of the food. The chicken, the hash browns were not soft and succulent as before. The nice onion ring was replaced by hard and cold cheese jalapeño rings. Totally different food experience now. We are not going to go back in a hurry, let's just say. Really sad as we did like frequenting it over the last few years.
