The Three Locks in Aylesbury Vale

Amazing people and incredible food. The staff were so friendly. We shall be back 😀

Excelente food, great atmosphere and the staff is very friendly! I’m looking forward to going there again soon!

Had lunch here with children, grandchildren and dog. All made to feel welcome. Great menu and separate one for children. Food was excellent. We had a spillage and staff cleared it straight away, no problem. The staff are so lovely, engaging and friendly. We don’t live in the area but would definitely go back when we’re up that way and highly recommend it.

Three Locks is now a seafood restaurant with an excellent selection of seafood and non seafood meals. I highly recommend it.

Cozy canalside pub/restaurant. Food is always of good quality and the staff are always attentive and friendly. Bar is dog friendly too if you ever stop by after a canalside walk.

Food was really good. Very relaxing place to eat or have a drink. Definitely recommend it and staff all polite too which makes a big difference.

Lovely place. I tried a burger. Quite expensive for that small burger. Overall in the summer should be very nice on the side of Grand Union Canal..having a beer outside.

The food was lovely and the staff were friendly.

Food here is amazing, best Sunday lunch

Nice pub lovely location but a tenner for a scotch egg no thanks, food is expensive even the bbq was expensive so we had a pint and went KFC

Can't understand why this beautiful spot was not full, lovely people, good food, and so peaceful. We will definitley go back

Beautiful views of the lock and river

The service let it down no one ask if the food was ok and staff couldn’t be bothered was over charged and no itemised bill given to us just presumed to give us the total amount on a card machine 🙄

Fantastic pub with amazing views to Grand Union Canal.

Varied choice menu, reasonably priced. Staff attentative and friendly. Well decorated and clean. Beautiful location on the lock.

😍 loved it. Wasn't lucky enough to eat on this occasion, but the food looked great 😋

The 3 Locks pub at Stone Hammond between Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard. Accessible by road or today for me, canal boat. Great food, well priced, accessible toilets that are clean and presentable. Nice covered external seating area. All round nice place for meal or to chill with friends.

Good selection of beers, with seating by the canal, great for watching the narrow boats going through the locks

Beautiful pub with a lot of seating. It gets busy at weekends so book in advance. Food is great. Fabulous place to sit and watch the cannal boats going up and down the lock or walk your dog. There is a bus stop directly outside.

Eaten here a few times and the food is always well cooked. Friendly pub. Helpful staff.

I gave The Three Locks a 2nd chance today as I was put off by the very unfriendly/ rude service on my 1st visit. Unfortunately, my 2nd visit wasn't any better and I won't return to a place where staff cannot be bothered to smile or even attempt to be friendly. I visited with 2 different people on those occasions and bad reviews spread so you would think they'd try little bit harder to show even the smallest amount of appreciation for your custom. Sadly not.

Amazing location & food. Good portion sizes, slightly more expensive than some places but worth it for the food quality.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Bit noisy later. Great setting.

Only stopped for drinks. It's a nice pub right by the canal

Really lovely pub on the canal. A firm favourite in our household, never had a bad meal and it’s always a lovely place for a drink in the sun. Food is lovely, fish and chips is always a win!

Only dropped in for drinks after over 50 years just as good

The food was tasty, but I felt it was a bit overpriced. The Sunday roast I had came in at £22, which for 2 slices of beef, 3 roasties, a Yorkie and a pile of veggies felt a bit much. Service was great, waitresses attentive and polite, and the pub itself is in a great spot. Parking is not the best, especially with a tree blocking a chunk of the car park, so bear in mind parking is very limited.

Nice location albeit a bit scruffy outside next to the canal. Decent food, friendly staff.

Just spent a couple of hours there but there were some remarkable works on display.

Just fantastic food! Great service, never ran out of drink. A great stop if your narrow boating!

Lovely pub by the canal. The staff were friendly, cheerful and efficient. Varied menu to suit all tastes. There was a wait for the food but it was cooked to order so that was to be expected. We had haddock coupons, bubble and squeak cake and the lamb koftas. They were all piping hot and delicious. We then ordered the apple pie and Etin mess for dessert. We will definitely visit again.

Wow, this place is dearer than some of the best restaurants I've eaten in. £9 for a starter is a rip-off. I don't care how nice the porcelain plate you serve it on is. We decided to sit outside as it looked a little dark inside, and the tables in the shade had mossy mould over them, and the clean ones that were unfortunately taken were in the sun. Either wash them with chlorine or swap them round every few weeks. The staff was helpful, but when asked for ice, I was told they had none as he'd not got round to refilling the ice by the sink, even though the bar was empty. Scotch egg starter was good.

3 out of 5 meals sent back 1 stone cold .1medium rare steak totally well done and pasta dish cold dry and starchy wont be going back as a retired publican it was very poor

Need to book a table to order garlic mushrooms or so we was told, after some negotiation we managed to order some and a side ooff chips. Expensive pint is £6.20

Visited for a Sunday dinner. Obviously it’s a lovely location - shame it wasn’t a nice day to sit outside but image it’s awesome to do so! Inside is very nicely fitted, good spacing between tables, very attentive staff and vegan options on the menu! The main and deserts were great for a vegan but the starter was just a salad, which is fine just a bit basic considering the effort they put into the other options. Overall a lovely experience and will be going back on a sunny day to be able to sit outside.

I tried to find a dog friendly waterside pub with some vegan food on the menu... and this is the place. The vegan burger is amazing for sure. Great hospitality, good food, unique atmosphere, big car park, what else you need? Nice walking places around and top of all, it is a nice place for paddle boarding, cycling as well. I loved the time what I spent here. The Three Locks is a great 5 star pub.

Nice pub, it lacks a cozy feel in the bar area, but outside in the sun I'm sure it would be epic. Anyway for dinner we ordered chorizo appetizer and goats cheese starter. Nice and tasty. The chicken salad had too much mayo on, and for £17 lacked a bit of salad variety. The mushroom burger was tasty. But regards the patty itself I didn't really like it. Possibly not the best food on their menu.

Been stopping here all my life. My parents came here as teens. A wonderful experience with canal boats coming through the locks. Then a great lunch and drinks to top it off

A lot of stuff was out of stock so that was annoying when you’re spending so much but what we did have was lovely

Not the best experience. Took my elderly dad for a birthday treat. The staff were so slow. Had to keep checking that the gluten free options were as stated as kept bringing the wrong ones out. Drink orders were wrong each time too. Patrons outside were served before us even though they arrived after we did, some an hour after. We were sat on a square corner seating arrangement with a small round wobbly table. Can't think of anything much that was good about the visit to be honest!!!

Our third time visiting The Three locks but just popped in for a quick drink on a lovelly sunny day. I had one of the mango Cyders, and what a refreshing drink, took a big mouthfuls and I just wanted more. The staff and food are always great when ever we have visited, the food has is tasty and definitely of a quality that you would expect.

Beautiful food and good service.

Nice location by the canal especially on a sunny day. The place is more geared towards the restaurant so the pub section lacks comfort. Plenty of outside seating and adequate parking.

Absolutely fantastic, a little gem. Really good food with a nice range of specials and everything still available mid evening. Well kept beer and lovely attentive staff. Would go out of our way to call again if ever in the neighbourhood

We were walking along the Grand Union Canal and stopped at this quaint pub for a hot drink. We were served promptly and the drinks were lovely. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Food... really poor.. tasteless..24 or 25 pounds for a main is just robbery here . Just go home n Cook and save the disappointment

Beautiful view of the river.. The boats coming through were really interesting to watch how they lock and unlock the gates for the boats to come through. Good tea.

Its been a long time since I visited The Three Locks, its a very nice pub on The Grand Union. The staff are very friendly and the food was well presented and came in good time . Its a great place for parking up having a bite to eat and a drink then going for a good walk along the canal.

Perfect country pub with great food

Lovely location and great friendly service. I had fish and chips - yummy chips but a little greasy for me. My friend had the scampi which she said was not nice hence the lower rating for food.

Lovely little place, service and food we're top notch! And vey reasonably priced, recommended to fellow boaters!!

Wonderful. I look forward to visiting again and highly recommend the whole experience was fab.

We enjoyed a lovely family birthday meal last night. Service was friendly and attentive. Beautiful interior. Menu and specials menu offering a good variety of dishes. Food was delicious, fresh and colourful. Children’s menu just the job too. Looking forward to returning!

Hello everyone well this a lovely pub right by canal which just out side stoke Hammond village parking is near by on site outside the property or there is a car park nearby. Toilets are located on site. The food is lovely and cooked fresh to order which excellent. Be warned its a bit pricey but it is good quality food ,and they even have zero alcohol for all you drivers out there. I was suprised at service charge on my bill around 8.00 some restaurants do this but i believe it get shared out which is good thing.

Great pint and great location staff are brilliant

lovely food.disgusted that 10% was added to the bill without asking.Overpriced cocktail and then extra for orange juice and extra for cranberry juice taking the price to over £10 for a cocktail

Beautiful lunchtime meal. 2nd time visiting. Great service, food, and atmosphere. Throughly recommend. Need to book, though

Lovely pub and kindly gave us sausage and hash brown bap, even though breakfast menu had finished and it was delicious.

We loved it plenty of food The atmosphere was great and most pleasant had problems eating it all will call again

Always a busy popular pub situated on the grand Union Canal.. we only popped in for a drink as tables were all full and we sat outside

The service was fantastic and the food even more so!

Food prices, everything was very good manners. However cost nothink shame the staff are not that forward

Thoroughly recommend this pub, such a friendly atmosphere, nice location, and it has a lovely menu - with something for everyone. I had the best fish finger sandwich I have ever had. I can’t wait to go back!

Lovely pub and restaurant. Quick service and great food.

Really nice pub with nice staff. I lost my phone outside and a young lady who works there found it and handed it in.

We were served by Jonty, who was friendly and welcoming. Food was lovely and we had a nice time. I ate the beef and bone marrow burger, the fish cake and the truffles and enjoyed them all thoroughly. Will be back 😊

Great food very tasty very welcoming staff friendly atmosphere relaxed and beautiful scenes of canal

Amazing outdoor fishing space. Been there once for food and was nice

As always, good service, good beer and good food. Living on a narrow boat I pass by The Three Locks a couple of times a year and would always recommend it. My friend brought his dog along and the staff brought a drinking bowl out for his dog, that's good, caring service 😀

Turkey was dry, chips too large with fish and chips, cold brownie. Very average overall.

We had our Christmas lunch as a team at the Three Locks yesterday. The food was the best I’ve ever had for a Christmas lunch. And what a choice for the vegan and vegetarian members of the team! The staff were attentive the service was amazing and we had a great time. The venue right next to the canal with the barges and boats ambling by is delightful. A truly special place to eat and enjoy the friendly atmosphere with colleagues. We’ll find a reason to return soon… Thanks to the three locks staff team for a memorable day.

Best Christmas dinner I’ve ever had! I’ve never had a bad meal here, good service too.

A very pleasant afternoon to nip in from the cold. Really enjoyed spending time here.

Had the best fish pie ever!! Excellent service and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely lock side pub with friendly staff, I had breakfast and a coffee, whilst on my fishing adventures. The breakfast was served in goof time, the food was cooked very well. The coffee was well, it was coffee.. a great place to stop for a bite on a cold day. Thank you 😊

The food was very average. Service was ok.

Truly a wonderful place, every Sunday dinner I’ve ever had here has been sensational. Lovely staff, very caring! I will come back here forever. Thank you.

Was walking along the canal when we saw a cooked breakfast available from 0930, it was excellent and also a gluten free option for my friend.

Came for lunch on Wednesday. It was nice to come to a pub and be treated with respect and good service from the waitress Kayleigh. Service with a smile is always nice.

Lovely place! Nice location and friendly staff. Took an hour to get food though, which was a problem for us

Good food in a friendly environment and excellent service by knowledgeable staff.

Very cozy pub right next to the canal. We went through the locks and moored the boat nearby. Being vegan, we expected to be faced with the same frozen veg patty everyone seems to have, but couldn't have been more wrong! They have a number of freshly-made vegan options that all sounded delicious. We started with red pepper hummus with warm flat bread, which was fresh and tasty. We had the vegan pot pies, which were delicious, with a crispy freshly-baked crust. They came with some of the best chips we've had in months, and a side of green beans, broccoli, and peas, and a pot of gravy. They offer intriguing sounding vegan deserts as well, but we were both stuffed, so maybe another time. Everyone working there was pleasant, and seemed to be genuinely happy. I heard my praise for the food immediately passed along to the chef, which was gratifying. The server was friendly, attentive, and helpfully recommended the pie when told we were vegan. On the way out, I spoke to a very cordial gentleman who I assume was the manager, and told him how much we appreciated the vegan selections, and how good everything was. I'm posting photos of their current menu, along with their extraordinary holiday menus (including lots of good vegan options for all the courses!). Highly recommended, by a couple of damp, cold boaters in out of the rain!

Lovely location, good service, friendly helpful staff, food average and very expensive.

Just had a fantastic Sunday Lunch at the three Locks ..lovely pub on the side of the canal. Great service really friendly staff ,will certainly be going back..great pub for a bike meet.

Friendly staff and nice food. Ate in the bar but was offered the restaurant as well. Great way of spending a few hours watching the canal boats going through the locks.

Very nice here. New people running the pup.

Nicely placed pub - great views- free parking

Good choice of real Ales, good lunch options nicely decorated. Right next to the the locks on the canal and a nice place to relax on a sunny day.

Very enjoyable snack lunch 2 x Sandwiches plus drinks, very nice!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Three Lock Place and Pub, and it was nothing short of amazing! This charming location offers a unique experience where you can witness small boats passing through the locks, creating a picturesque setting. The people in and around the place are incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of this place is the traditional pub, which beautifully reflects the memories of the past while seamlessly blending in a touch of modernity. During our visit a couple of months ago, we were truly impressed with the food. We ordered both vegetarian and vegan dishes, and they were all up to the mark in terms of quality, quantity, taste and presentation. What made our visit even more memorable was the exceptional staff. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and the chef's culinary skills were nothing short of fantastic. The entire experience at Three Lock Place and Pub left us feeling content and satisfied. We can't wait to return to this wonderful establishment. The combination of delicious food, a picturesque location, and a friendly atmosphere makes it a must-visit. 👏🍽️🌟

Had a large fish and chips, my god, did not know you can cook whale, it was huge . Really worth while for a meal and nothing was any trouble.

Lovely pub. Great food lovely staff

Food was really nice. I had red pepper hummus, calamari and olives to start with then fish and chips for the main. The calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly, the artisan breads were nice and had a nice stone baked flavour to them.The portions were a good size, the only downside were the chips which I felt maybe they could do with some work or a new supplier for them. The fish however was tasty and perfect. We finished with a flat white which was top notch. The service was incredible, our waiter was friendly and welcoming and his product knowledge was really good. He also a couple times made sure that we didn’t have any allergies which i thought was reassuring.

6 for lunch. Steak was great and fish lovely

Too expensive. Not good value for prices charged. Staff very nice

Nice enough, but had 3 pints and a lime and soda and they charge £2.70 for the lime and soda, which seems steep. Particularly as I also spent £40 on food, which they automatically added service to.

Pleasent place to have a beer by the canal.

I visited today for a quick sandwich in preference to popping home for lunch. I ordered a roast beef sandwich and a pint of best which came to an absurd £14.90! When the sandwich arrived there was no accompanying salad or even crisps....just two pieces of bread and butter and a filling.....absolutely disgusting for more than £10.00. What do you all feel?

Really lovely place. We found it by chance trying to find somewhere for food on our way home, and what a stop! The setting by the locks is beautiful and the food served matched that - everything we had was so tasty. Friendly and efficient service too. I will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

Just had a really nice Sunday Roast Dinner at the Three Locks after paddle boarding on the canal. Lovely beer garden, the food was really delicious. I felt the Chicken roast dinner was a little pricey but when it arrived I felt the cost was more than justified. As well as this the staff were friendly and helpful which is becoming harder and harder to find. The pub was dog friendly and the pint of Tring Sidepocket I had was kept well and was tasty! Really great spot and will be coming back to visit again!
