I'm rating a 4 because we never ate any food. The pub is located right near the edge of the woods so is a great place to stop off after having a good walk. It is also dog friendly so feel free to take your dog along for a little treat and sone water ( they also do special doggie dinners). The pub is warm and cozy and feels very welcoming.

Visited today with friends, and a dog. Received a warm welcome. Food was good and price was reasonable. Service a little slow at 2 hours for 2 courses, but we were not in a hurry so all ok for us. Would go again

If I could rate lower I would, the calamari was like chewing rubber bands, we didn't finish it, the schnitzel was undercooked and the chicken still pink, we didn't finish that either! We were told we could have asked for the food to be cooked longer, but no one did a checkback to see how everything was until the plates were collected, service was appalling, there was no one else in the restaurant...we felt intimidated by Jo, she wasn't helpful, she was quite rude and aggressive in the way she spoke to us, she didn't even tell us if she'd spoken to the chef or what was said. No compensation, nothing to make up for the terrible food, not even money off the bill! Absolutely disappointing and I work in the hospitality industry! We will not be returning!

We stopped at The Squirrel after a walk in Penn woods. This is a lovely characterful country pub that has a very friendly atmosphere and was busy with local couples and families. It has a good varied menu and I can definitely recommend our lunch of the 4 starters for £25 deal, followed by whole baked brie with dipping bread to share. There appears to be a nice garden with kids play area. It is also very dog friendly. We will definitely be going back.

I am not happy at the pricing of a 330ml bottle of 0% lager - over £5.00. There are no displayed prices and no need to charge this much when there is no alcoholic duty.

Yesterday we hosted my mum's 60th surprise party at The Squirrel and it was perfect in every way. There is a lovely garden room dedicated to events which had access to the pub garden, and it was sectioned off from the rest of the pub so there was no outside noise. The food was very reasonably priced and went down very well with our guests. Jo and her bar staff couldn't do enough to help (we weren't the most organised party planners!) and were very prompt at tidying up plates/glasses etc. I'm so glad I found this pub as it was exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back with the family for a pub lunch very soon. Thanks Jo and team 😊

Enjoyed four of the small plates which were all delicious and generous portions …. more than enough for two of us and excellent value at £26. We had rather a long wait at the bar even though it was quiet. This wasn’t helped by someone who came to the bar after us being served before us as the girl serving hadn’t noticed. After almost leaving the land lady appeared and took our order. Our food arrived quickly although we did have to ask for one of our dishes as it didn’t arrive. Service was friendly but we were asked so many times by multiple staff members if they could clear our plates it almost made conversation difficult. We were clearly still eating and there was food on our plates. We wondered if the kitchen had run out of crockery? Overall would recommend and would probably return if in the area as the food was excellent and reasonably priced.

This seems like a good pub, although we only stopped for a quick drink. It was nice watching a cricket match in the village green across the road. My only gripe was getting a bit of pressure to order everything before we had decided what drinks we wanted so the lady could bash the order into the computer all at once. What’s that all about?

Went for lunch with friends. Beautiful location, friendly staff, interesting sounding menu. The best choice of the three was the ham egg and chips. Unfortunately that’s where the compliments end. I chose the frittata which sounded great but for £15 I expected more than a child’s portion. It came with a watercress salad without dressing and some chips. Tiny portion, overpriced and dull. My other friend fancied the wonderful sounding steak. It was £30. It was thin, anaemic, veiny and the sauce arrived when my friend was half way through it. It came with a roast tomato and a few chips. I know it’s Buckinghamshire but to charge that for that is just wrong. The location is great and staff good but that’s not a good enough reason to charge those prices and serve poor quality food.

It was our monthly Lotus and Caterham Seven car meet which also coincided with my 60th birthday. I had contacted Jo the landlady to say we would have family coming along too so that enough tables and chairs were reserved. We had the terrace area reserved for us which was perfect as the cars could be admired and views within sight and also gave us some shade for those that required it on such a hot day. Food was ordered and brought to our table promptly and as always, was delicious. Our family all commented on the food being so good and the friendliness of all the staff. Jo has made significant changes to The Squirrel and all for the better.

Ordered the chicken burger, wasn't expecting anything fancy but it was tiny, bone dry and ultimately just really disappointing - really representative of the poor standards in the hospitality industry in the U.K. these days. It's not difficult to do a nice chicken burger, not expecting the world over here. It was meant to come with some coleslaw and it didn't, I was about to tell a member of staff but saw them bring out another portion for someone else with the coleslaw and it was an insultingly tiny pot of red cabbage so I didn't bother. It's not disgusting or anything like that, just bland and lazy. You are much much better off going for a drink but eating at home

We ordered light snacks and lunch with some drinks and everything was absolutely delish. The serve was quick and the atmosphere of the place was wonderful - nice and busy but not too hectic. We'll definitely be back.

We recently celebrated a family event and chose to have it at The Squirrel Pub in a semi private area and I must say it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every needs. The service provided by the staff was exceptional. A big shout out to Jo who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and was happy with everything. The food at The Squirrel was top-notch! The menu offered a wide variety of options, and each dish we ordered was delicious and incredibly flavorful. The semi-private event space was perfect for our gathering. It provided a cozy atmosphere, and we also got to enjoy the lovely outdoor space and games in the garden. Overall, I cannot recommend The Squirrel Pub enough . The combination of fantastic service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere made it a truly memorable experience. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or gather with friends and family, The Squirrel Pub is the perfect choice.

Had a nice-enough birthday meal for two. The place was totally empty when we arrived at 7pm (on a Monday evening it's understandable) so not much atmosphere to speak of... Though interior is warm, comfortable, and inviting. The staff were very friendly and greeted us warmly, with a free glass of fizz for my partner. They treated us quite well, but missed the check-backs on our food (in spite of literally zero other customers to attend to), which might have given them a chance to put some issues right - as our main issue is that the menu is quite deceptive... Firstly there are a few dishes missing from the menu posted on their website (I was looking forward to a pie that didn't seem to exist). Secondly, and more importantly, the high prices and elaborate wording of their dishes hide the average quality of the cookery: My Korean chicken burger was very flat (literally just bun>patty>bun), painfully underseasoned, and lacked any spice beyond a very light smear of sriracha mayonnaise... Which, much like the "Asian slaw", was barely there. The fries were not bad though. My partner's trout (which smelled and looked a lot like salmon) looked very anaemic, as did the buttered vegetables. The garlic prawns were obviously cooked from frozen. There was no sear or colour on the food at all - everything was disappointingly limp and pale. The sautéed potatoes weren't bad. All in all, the food was edible, but lacked any passion or care in the ingredients, cookery, or plating. Feel sorry for this place because they were lovely people, but they need to improve the overall quality of their food if they want to keep charging those prices.

Second visit, first time for food. Firstly, I rarely leave reviews unless it's really exceptional. This was. Its welcoming atmosphere, lovely staff and gorgeous setting (beautiful countryside) is perfect. However the food... omg the Sunday lunch was just amazing. I genuinely mean this, from the crunchy veg, tasty chicken, perfect roasties, gravy... the list goes on. My dad had short rib and (believe me it takes a lot to impress him) was sublime. I forgot to take a pic of desserts... they were that good. We moved from the lovely snug dining room to the bar and was welcomed with another wonderful smile from the staff. Big shoutout to Jemima for lovely service and an even bigger shout out to Jo and Nathan, the landlords - I don't think I've been to such a friendly pub - it's clear they welcome their regulars and drop ins with equal sincerity. We will be back. Thank you

This little pub is in a pleasant, secluded location in the village of Penn Street, near High Wycombe. On-site parking is provided, and there was a warm welcome from friendly staff. However the dining experience wasn’t great. My fish and chips was bottom quartile - lukewarm chips, soggy batter, fish bland. The vegetarian suet pudding was also unexciting. So overall a disappointing lunch, despite the friendly reception. Do not recommend, and will not return.

A beautiful tranquil location in the heart of Penn street, over looking the local cricket pitch. Recently refurbished by punch to a very high standard with cosy arm chairs round a crackling open fire.... Ideal on wet days like today. Huge outdoor seating and play area for the children to the rear with a covered smoking shelter and extendable canopies for the hot weather... Extra seating at the front overlooking the the cricket green. Serving food daily From 12pm 2nd kitchen / pizza hut at the front of the carpark open during the warmer months. Nathen was a fantastic host and the coffee was exquisite... Full flavor espresso straight from the machine 😋 Photos show the squirrel is very clean and inviting throughout. A great place to spend some quality family time over food and drinks. Dog friendly 🐶

We go to a lot of pubs as my fiance is a big real ale fan. He was not disappointed here with an excellent selection. However, the revelation was for me . I usually , as a non drinker, have a choice of tonic water or flavoured tonic water 😂 This gorgeous pub has the best selection of non alcoholic drinks I've ever been offered. Little thoughtful touches abound . And the food was absolutely delicious. My new favourite pub !!

The pub and setting is lovely, the menu for a gluten free veggie was absolutely non existent, and the kitchen were not happy to help, it was what was on the menu or nothing. Fair enough, but couldn’t even have a bowl of chips as they were not GF so the veg soup was the only option. First of all we were told it wasn’t GF then we were told it was, there was nothing else I could eat so we asked for a large portion of it and was happy to pay a supplement but that wasn’t possible, we were told we’d have to order 2 bowls of soup.! When our one portion of soup came it was delicious but the portion was so small it was very disappointing.! Landlady shouting at customers who moved chairs and tables around and asked them to put them back. staff didn’t seemed happy to be working or enjoying their jobs, maybe it was just a bad day and everyone was stressed and tired.!

Great pub with a massive garden, food is good quality and atmosphere is great. Accepts (slightly) muddy boots and dogs which is useful as it's opposite the cricket pitch and some woodlands. In the summer the garden is a real bonus with plenty of seating, a good climbing frame/playset for kids and cover as well. There is some parking onsite and there is some onstreet parking around although it gets busy as this is white a popular spot - but no worries if it's full try your luck at the Hit and Miss around the corner! Accessibility wise there are some steps inside, both to get to the 'restaurant' and to get to the loos. The carpark is gravelly and prone to puddles and there is limited pavement if you park on the road, which has some significant potholes.

We went for valentines evening food was well cooked and ok Jo the manager was offensive and rude and attacked me verbally with in the first 5 minutes of our arrival she was very sarcastic about her running out of jd which she hadn’t as she found some but not before she made me feel very small in front of the whole pub trying to press me to order something else and very loudly to I kept my mouth shut for fear of ruining our night… But I think she did that for us I am sure she was drinking too.. This is not the first time she has been rude to me I don’t know why she is like this but I can’t be the only one…… We spoke to the land lord on the way out about it and he was very appologetic and slurring his words badly… he asked us to give them another try I don’t think so but thanks Also noticed that the waitress locked the fire door and was playing a prank on somebody but it stayed locked for over an hour… Then when we got home Jo had over charged us for a pudding that we never had, only £7:50 but it’s the principle after all….// it left a bad taste…. I called back to tell her and Jo said she would refund tomorrow… let’s hope she does …. Jo did refund but I had to remind her again to refund my money !!! And no apology

We decided to go for lunch here after visiting the Hellfire Caves in West Wycombe. Very glad we did as the pub, food and staff were amazing. For once, they've got the right balance of fair prices and great food. I had the ham, egg and chips which was excellent. Not a huge portion but more than satisfying and the quality was superb. My partner had the fish finger sandwich, which again was well above par being homemade and generous. Although all the tables were reserved (there's a good sign), we were given a table anyway. The staff were very courteous and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

We’ve just come home from eating lunch there following a lovely walk in the area. The food was fine, but we were stuffed into a tiny corner without enough space to move or be comfortable. Having booked in advance for 3 people and a dog they’d had plenty of time to accommodate us appropriately. Unfortunately another table had pushed ours back and made the entire experience really uncomfortable. I would have appreciated that the staff step in and help us, but they just expected us to cram ourselves in. I brought it up to the staff on paying and no apologies were made. Good food, but overall a disappointing experience and we won’t be back.

Sadly, we have missed The Squirrel off our list of pubs to visit - despite having lived in the Amersham area for many years! Visiting last week for dinner we were impressed by the cosy atmosphere, lovely log fires (most welcome on the frosty night we visited), great reception by staff. Our steaks were very good (perfectly cooked), the desserts enjoyed. The let down was the steak pie - filling fine but pastry rock hard - not sure what went wrong there! We rated the food at 4/5 due to the pie - otherwise it would have been a 5. Small, simple menu but very good country pub food. We have been again for a drink and booked for the Christmas period.

Not having been here previously despite living not many miles away, we sad we had missed on not coming before. Excellent atmosphere, warm and cosy on a frosty evening (loved the log fires), great reception on arrival and service. It is dog friendly so if you don't like dogs then perhaps not a place for you. We had a really enjoyable meal (2 excellent steaks), the steak pie had a nice filling - the hard pasty let it down. We enjoyed our desserts. All at a reasonable price. Menu is small but perfect for a country pub. We will be making The Squirrel a regular place to go for just a drink or a meal

Outstanding service from the new management at The Squirrel! we were there for a family wake and they couldn't have done a better job if they tried. food was lovely, service was amazing. Special thanks to Jo our host for the day, who literally could not have been nicer or done anymore for us all. The pub itself is very cisy traditional style with fires and fairy lights. Beautiful. Rumour has it sunday lunch is booked up in advance so this is fair warning to give them a call and get down there.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were going to have a lovely evening. Under new management, this pub offers a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike. Cosy chairs by the log fire, as well other comfy areas, make for an ideal place for food and drinks. The food is delicious. The menu is relatively small, but this allows for high quality, home cooked food, which is what a village pub should be about. The restaurant is small but perfectly sized for an intimate dinner for two or a larger group. The service is excellent, with staff wanting to ensure everything is as it should be. Four-legged guests are also made welcome by the staff who treat all customers as friends.

The pub was so busy and could feel a new buzz, it was fantastic to see as this is such a wonderful pub to go to after a walk. Tables were cleared quickly, service was great, staff really friendly.

We were put in the back room by the toilets and the whole room smelt (could only assume it was the toilets, unless it was a damp issue). We had to pre-order food as we were a large group. Ordered on Thursday, wanted the pork which they didn't have - surely they could have got some in? As it happens, I'm kind of glad they didn't. People that ordered pizzas had to watch everyone else eat first, as the pizza oven had not warmed up. Again, they knew since Thursday that we were coming! I had the prawn linguine. It looked like it had been sat on the side for a while as the pasta was all stuck together and dry. Pizzas eventually came and were very disappointing. My vegan friend had "The Alotment" - no vegan cheese on it surprisingly - so he got presented with a what he described as "cracker with veg on top". Toilets were disgusting. Ao dirty. No lock on the doors, and no bin so struggled to change my son when he needed a nappy change. Very very disappointing overall.

Disappointing returned for the first time since the refurb but struggled to see any evidence. The menu offered a reasonable choice but when it came to it very few dishes were available. Food was edible.

We were a bit hesitant to visit this pub after reading some of the reviews but it turned out to be a great place that we will definitely be visiting again very soon! The food was excellent and very flavourful and all of the staff were lovely and very attentive. The service was pretty slow throughout our meal but the food was definitely worth the wait ☺️

A great place to sit down after hiking all day as it has a great climbing frame for kids to keep them busy.

Went for Sunday lunch at about 2pm. Ok, it was pretty busy but the bar service was a shambles. Totally disorganised and so, so slow. Lots of staff but no idea. Ditto the food service. They'd bring the food out and then go back for cutlery! Er, bring it out at same time! I ordered the beef but without the greens. I checked again that it was without greens. Yes, it was noted. It turned up with greens! Great pub but either useless or inexperienced staff or poor management or all three.

It's been upgraded in recent years and the food is a much better standard now. Still a cosy place to meet and socialise.

We went for a family meal on Saturday lunch. The wait staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was very good, happy to eat it again (except the ‘rare’ steak which was almost well done). But we arrived at 1, starters came 35 mins...

Great food and atmosphere. Really lovely member of staff behind the bar. Didn't catch his name but just seemed like a lovely person.

We had a family meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had the 2024 festive three course menu. It was fantastic. Great portions, lovely atmosphere and service. Staff looked after us and nothing was too much to ask. Highly recommended.

Cycled past many times looked v nice so decided to pop in for a drink 2 weeks ago. Barmaid v chatty good feel about the place lighting perfect candles on nice background music. You could tell the lady working cared about the business! After this visit we decided to go back last night for a meal. So different no smile or hello when walked in 2 team working just didn’t look happy actually looked like they had fallen out. Sat at table one of them brought menu then we chose a bottle of wine which was nice and came quick. We then sat there 15 mins before getting up and asking if we ordered at the bar or were they coming over.one if them came over and took the order, food came around 30 mins later. The food was ok but pies could have been bigger with more filling. After finishing nobody came and asked if we would like a dessert in the end I had to get up and ask for the bill. We then left feeling v disappointed all round. Such a nice first visit what happened why such a let down. With prices high and pub in a small village out of the way it needs to be good every time not every other for it to survive in this tough environment. Not sure if will come back again 🤔
