The Spade Oak in Wycombe - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely lunch at The Spade Oak today. We had the Diablo pizza which was amazing and a glass of Ca bolani. The weather didn’t let us down so we were able to eat outside. Always worth a visit here!

Phoned ahead a booked a table. Waited at the bar 20 minutes to book in. Told where our table was. Went to bar to order food and drinks, only 2 people serving and they were busy making cocktails. About 10 people waiting to be served, people tapping glasses on the bar to get attention. Walked away and went elsewhere.

Really lovely lunch. I had the fish cakes which were beautiful and my husband had the steak sandwich which he loved. Service was faultless. Enjoyed browsing the Christmas menu online using the free Wi-Fi and planning our visit between Christmas and New Year. We will be back!

Popped in to my favourite local on a lovely warm Sunday afternoon for a few snacks and a lovely glass of Ca Bolani. Excellent service from the Team especially Mateo and Tom.

Mediocre scallops for starters - really tiny but very tasty, lovely lamb main course and fabulous passion fruit martini with mini scicilian lemon tart. Lovely mean and attentive staff.

Our visit to The Spade Oak was to have been a special occasion, and on balance we enjoyed ourselves. The Inn is perfectly located close to the river, and at the end of a narrow country lane. We shared bread and oils as a starter, which was delicious. Unfortunately, several dishes weren't available on the menu that evening, which is not something the waiter outlined until we asked for it. Two of us ordered chicken in BBQ sauce, and two the fish and chips. In my opinion, my chicken was undercooked, contained several bones and was served with chips resembling McDonald's 'medium fries'. My meal was unremarkable and probably cost a fraction of the asking price to make. After a very average meal I was presented with the bill and the options to leave a 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, or 'Other' gratuity. Despite choosing the 5% option, I was charged 10% gratuity for over-priced drinks, a limited food selection and disappointing mains. I strongly suspect that this is an excellent Inn to visit in the Summer, and clearly has the potential to be outstanding. Sadly for me, last Saturday was not spectacular, and I resent having 10% gratuity added to my bill without my consent. There may be logic why leaving 0% gratuity was not an option! Can do better.

anniversary meal done properly, we came last night for the Wine & Dine menu this offer was fantastic the drinks where great we opted for the Red, food served amazing hats off to the chef, will deffo be returning again thankyou

Came here with friends for a catch up, the service was fantastic… the young lady who looked after us was friendly funny and very knowledgeable about the menu, I had the belly pork which was cooked great and followed it with a mini brownie and espresso martini.. the cocktails offer was good at 2-£14 and I had afew varieties but all delicious! Will 100% return in future thankyou

We went as a family on Sunday and the pub itself is lovely but the food turned up after 1 hour warm, no yorkshire puddings! The service was as good as can be for a young guy but honstly my feedback is the kitchen and service are overwhelmed!! Get some extra bodies on a busy Sunday and order more foodm how can Yorkshire puddings be run out by 1:45!!!! Not the best experience the pub rests on the fact the location after a Sunday walk and decor its self is really nice. The rest well below par.

Can’t help coming back with friends to this lovely country pub. The brunch is just the best, definitely our go to place! Great service from Cormac!

We came for Sunday lunch and despite it being busy, the service was great and the food was brilliant. We both had roast beef and it was the best roast we've had in ages! The servers and manager on duty were all lovely - highly recommend.

Such a wonderful find suggested by our friend who had been here before. Absolutely gorgeous inside. The service and food were delicious. Thanks, Lauren for taking such good care of us.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch after a lovely river walk to Cookham. I chose the pork belly with Scallops and was not disappointed...there were many elements to the dish alongside the pork, which was beautifully cooked. The Broccoli, pineapple and Garlic Salsa type think was absolutely delicious and complemented the accompanying potato gratin beautifully. A good portion of crackling and a little pork croquette were gratefully received and the pot of delicious pork gravy tied it all together. My wife had the fillet steak and was very enthusiastic about the dish, which she'd had before and was the reason for our return. The staff were nice, really accommodating and polite and knew the menu well. We'll be coming back. Thank you.

Great food, loads on the menu to choose from. The staff were really friendly and the manager was very helpful. Will definitely go again!

Another lovely visit to The Spade Oak. Weather was gorgeous so we sat outside. It was a drink after work but we indulged in some snacks recommended by the Manager Lauren so we had halloumi fries, olives and billionaire fries. I have to say they were delicious and I would highly recommend. Staff very attentive as always. Back soon!

An unenthusiastic member of staff. The coffee was lukewarm and in the past there was a biscuit with the coffee. When I asked if there was a biscuit this time, I was told no!

Very good lunch menu The Salt and Pepper squid was the best I've eaten anywhere. Various other lunches in our party were excellent too. Young man who served us was friendly and efficient. Only fault was no fans or air con on the hottest day of the year. PS The choice of Vegan ice cream was wonderful and tasted home made. Brilliant

Had a fantastic evening with my friends and family at the spade oak. The food was beautiful and it’s by far the best pub in the district if you ask me. Will be back again next week. Thank you the spade oak team!

Lovely time at the Spade, always a fantastic visit, quick service and the food was gorgeous! Can’t wait for next time, thanks!

Had a lovely time, they had lots of amazing specials, the sole was to die for. We will definitely be returning!

Really nice for a night out and amazing food. Great service with an amazing bar area to sit in and enjoy your food.

First time here for many years and a pleasant surprise, there's been a make-over of some sort, and it's much improved

Thank you Carly, Ehab and Daniel - what a great caring team with the most amazing customer service. We enjoyed our evening so much because of you guys and of course the delicious food and superb Gavi wine. Carly was very helpful and considerate when...

We had an excellent dinner here, with wonderful service from Kelly. We were unfortunate to be next to a table where the customer was loudly ‘wet-sniffing’ and snorting in ways that were very off-putting. Kelly was very discreet and very accommodating and moved us to...

What can I say excellent service form the man I think his name was cormac and compliments to chef Dave H

The Spade Oak a short stroll from the Thames path. Enjoyed the pizza and a nice cold lager. Plenty of food options on the menu. Decent selection of ales and lagers on tap.

I had a lovely time at the Spade, Dave's food was delightful as usual and I can’t wait for my next lunch visit!

Fantastic time at the Spade, food was absolutely outstanding! Thank you for making our time here special and one to remember!!

We went there for a Sunday lunch with family. Overall it wasn't too bad, but I ordered the duo of beef. I was given one slice of beef along with another small piece of sirloin which was approximately 5cm * 2cm * 0.5cm. The portions...

Was met at the bar by a very friendly welcome and lovely atmosphere. Have been back several times since to eat and every time I do I'm greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. The manager on shift (think his name is dave) is...

Although the food seemed to be enjoyed by our party of 8 there was a problem when we each paid for our food. We had to queue up at the bar (although my husband was told someone would come over to our table). the young...

Absolutely amazing experience, everything from the service to food was incredible. Thanks Cristina for a lovely time.

Great place to eat. Nice atmosphere and great service from Kelly. The pizzas and the pies were excellent. Lovely interior and garden. We were four happy people 😀

Although it was very busy, the service was excellent and the food was amazing. Thank you for a great evening, would recommend 100%

amazing service, and beautiful area. shout out to dan our waiter who was run off his feet and still a great waiter ❤️

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Looked after by server named Kelly. Nothing too much bother, extra gravy and extra bread sauce. Puddings were explained exactly what to expect, and they were as lovely as the roast dinners. Coffee served with Green and Black’s taster chocolates...

What a great night out for my 60th Birthday! The food is delicious, the portions generous, and despite it being a quiet night, it was pouring down outside. the atmosphere warm. I had the salt and pepper squid to start. Delicious. The the sea bass...

The food was delicious, the service was quick and pleasant (thank you Kelly!) The menu has greatly been improved and the decor is amazing. Great pub for a spot of lunch or a pint after a dog walk down the nearby river. Oh and the...

I'm not sure what has happened, this place used to be good. Food was only OK this time, although the chicken burger seemed generic frozen product, not the freshly prepared product we've had before. The service though has been woeful. Slow, unattentive and nowhere near...

"For a special family gathering my cousin took us here. It was embarrassing for him: the potatoes were hard and barely cooked, the pork was supposedly 'slow cooked' but certainly wasn't (the lumps of fat on the pork demonstrated that), the chicken wasn't served with...

Visited on Monday evening for a special occasion, the service was great and the food was incredible! Will definitely return!

I didn’t know what to expect as first visit. Service was perfunctory and barely a smile. I had the chicken, bacon & avocado salad which was reasonably tasty but both the avocado and promised egg were missing but there was no mention of this on...

Recommended by friends. Booked for an Easter Sunday lunch. Roasts beef and pork were good. Service was swift, maybe after 1pm when it full, likely it would be much slower. Service was good ( thanks Kelly) Overall pretty good overall.Will return in the week to...

Popped in for lunch with a friend , we had the burger and fish cakes both were delicious, special thanks to Carly , Sarah and Lauren all 3 of you were so friendly and welcoming , thanks again.

A welcome stop(toilet and coffee)on our walk from Cookham to Marlow via the riverside pathway (quite a muddy route in March) nice coffee, could do with some signage on said pathway to help awareness, I’m sure this would increase custom especially in the coming summer.

Hadn’t been there for about forty years, but decided to go there with my wife for her 60th birthday lunch. The service and food were both great. Afterwards, the walk down to the river brought back some good memories

Fantastic Roast & exceptional dessert… A hidden gem… Staff worked under pressure but that didn’t stop them delivering a tasty meal with gusto…

Food was very good, shame about the lack of heating as most people kept there jackets on and table clearance and service was understaffed considering the day and amount of customers.

Called in for dinner with a friend. Shown to a table with some privacy which we appreciated. Food was served quickly - large portions and very tasty. Service was quick and once we’d finished eating, staff didn’t hassle us to leave. Thoroughly enjoyable - will...

On the Sun. 16th Oct. 2022, after a walk at Spade Oak Reach to Marlow and back one decided to drop in the Spade Oak for lunch bite. Ordered 🍹Blood Orange & Passion Fruit Collins and SALT & SZECHUAN PEPPER SQUID, Pickled ginger mayonnaise......delightful.

Visited Sunday morning for brunch. Restaurant was empty. The decor was nice after having been refurbished though. Ordered brunch - egg benedict with 2 x pot of teas. The tea was luke warm and so the second cup was stone cold. Egg Benedict was horrible...

We’ve visited before but in the summer. Came with the baby this time and had a lovely lunch. Lovely staff and very efficient too. Pork belly was one of the best I’ve had - said I’d be back even before I finished! Cheesecake is highly...

Very nice lunch as usual with great service from Kelly. Pork belly and Fish and Chips up to usual high standard.

Haven't been to the spade oak for a long time but after receiving an offer thought it time to return, really pleased we did. The interior is fresh and welcoming with plenty of tables to eat in the restaurant and bar area. All the staff...

Our favourite place for Sunday lunch. All the staff attentive but have to give a special mention to Kelly who I presume is the manager. An absolute credit to the place. X

We visited yesterday with 5 adults and 4 children for Sunday Lunch. We had been before Christmas for a small group and found the food to be exceptional. Sadly what we experienced yesterday was not the same. |The staff and customer service was great but...

A large group of us had Christmas lunch at the Spade Oak. After disappointing experiences in the past we were extremely pleased with the new regime at The Spade Oak. Excellent service, friendly staff, and good food!

Lovely meal. Kelly our server was lovely. Very busy, I think she would have appreciated another member of staff taking orders too. Food was delicious and the other serving staff were very attentive. Definitely will return.

Came in on the 19th November . Food had an extremely long delay and was average at best . The on tap beers were good but it’s pretty hard to mess up a pint ! On shift manager was falling around all over the place...

Food was ok. Some was served Luke warm, Service was appalling. So slow it was like pulling teeth out. Superviser looked and acted as though he was drunk. Also we witnessed him going into the toilet without washing his hands then serving food. We had...

Came in as part of a group of 10 guests . Food was nice but being forgotten about because the on shift manager seemed under the influence was a big let down . Also he seemed to forget we had a 20% off voucher ,...

We came for Sunday lunch as a family of six, every dish was delicious. High quality food in generous portions, the bottomless gravy and huge Yorkshire puddings were particularly good. Kelly our waitress was really helpful and friendly. We will definitely be coming back regularly!

Popped in for Sunday lunch. I’d advise you prebook as it’s very popular. Really good roast lunch - sadly rare to find these days. The gravy was very tasty and refills available. The roast beef was on the rare side - as it should be!

We booked for lunch on a Monday after my daughter’s Registry Office wedding. I had previously asked what food was available on a Monday and was told all the usual main dishes would be available. Unfortunately when we ordered our main courses the majority of...

We had Sunday lunch today: good roasts and apple crumble. Reasonably priced. Our server, Kelly, was great. Very efficient and lovely sense of humour,

Always greeted with a welcoming smile. Nothing is to much trouble even when we have our rather large greyhound with us. Chyna served us, asking how our day was going and you can always tell when someone is really interested in what you have to...

Went for a Sunday roast. They were busy-ish however maybe they were understaffed as I could only see one waitress running around to every table. She was lovely. However it did mean that the food arrived slightly cold as it was sat around waiting for...

Had not been here since a child. Thought to give it a try. Severely understaffed which is par for the course in a lot of places. Rather than sit inside as warm day we sat outside but that meant we had to come in to...
