The Travellers Rest in Aylesbury Vale

Nice place to eat. Food tasty, good portions. Friendly and polite staff. Little disappointed, there is always something you can't get on the menu. Food did take quite a while to come out.

Really good food, seated us in bar area. Only weird part was they wanted to sell the two steak & venison pies before allowing us to order a chicken & mushroom one. Chicken parm was fantastic as was all the skewers/pies & sarnies!

So is just one step up from a Harvester but food in the whole is ok but not great. The staff however think that they are doing you a favour to serve you poor food and cold custard. When we complained we were told that it was ok because Alfie was a trainee and serving cold custard at full price was just a problem we should accept as he needed to learn. Not quite sure how much training it takes to heat custard but seems it is quite difficult. The outrage form the silly little girl behind the bar when we complained after the third lot of bad cold custard was hilarious. The manger did her best to sort things out but the attitude of the bar maid was so poor that nothing can really change the bad feeling we left with.

Very disappointing food...good service, nice atmosphere

Food was disappointing service slow. Would hesitate to visit again. Photo of fillet steak £30

Very well presented and welcoming with good staff, excellent food and drinks and a excellent atmosphere...

Great pub lovely people nice place to go talk and chill and drink with friends and family.

The meals were not very good. Festive menu.... 1 tiny slice of turkey, burnt Yorkshire pudding, garlic potatoes which is not traditional for a turkey dinner so had to have chips, gravy boat spluttered with gravy all over the outside. Sea bass charred black skin so hardly any flesh remained. Scallop starters in cheese sauce so over microwaved to boiling point could not eat. When cooled down scallops like bullets.

The whole place was freezing cold so we kept our coats on. Some food was sent back for reheating!

Good service. Let my mum and wife have the Child's portion of the Christmas meal as they have small appetites. Both agreed the best Turkey and Christmas pudding they've ever had!

Lovely atmosphere, great service and food was delicious

Everything was great. Warm smiling welcome on arrival and shown to table. Drink order taken quickly and drinks arrived rapidly. No long wait for the food and both our meals were excellent. I don't think anything could be improved on yesterday's visit apart from maybe cooking the cauliflower cheese for a little bit longer.

Had a great time. The atmosphere, the staff and the food were excellent. The staff were very friendly, attentive and cheerful despite a busy restaurant.

Thank you to Lisa, Dominica & Jan (Tuesday lunchtime service team) for an amazing birthday meal. Superb food & service, see you again soon.

Food very nice service very good but very noisy lot of woman shouting laughing could not hear ourselves talking

We had a company dinner here, the staff were very accommodating and communicated very well when they needed to, all staff enjoyed the dinner too!

Went there for lunch with friends. We were given a secluded spot that was great. The service was excellent from the bar staff to the waitress serving the food. I had an excellent pork belly and a pavlova for pudding. You ready can't fault it

Food was amazing, starters and main, could not fault it, drinks had a good range and everything we could've wanted, not bad value for money at all, place is lovely, was quite busy, but had a good atmosphere service was quite slow however

Lovely venue food could be better. Service slow.

It has improved so much, now go often.

Loverly food, great staff, great atmerspher

The service is wonderful,The waitresses are very attentive, the food is very good, I always go there, I recommend it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Lovely atmosphere, great food and good value Ellin was superb

The service was excellent. The food was delicious, main course and dessert. They were almost full but the service didn’t suffer as a consequence.

We had a great table in a "private" area - service was fantastic and food (we all had Sunday roast) was great, tender meat, fresh vegetables, extras as requested and big portions. Would thoroughly recommend Travellers' Rest.

I booked a table for dinner to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband and kids. Having had my birthday earlier this month I received the free bottle of prosecco which The Travellers Rest emailed me about which was great. The dinner was lovely and everything arrived at a good time. We ordered dessert and unfortunately this failed to arrive. After being told multiple times that it would be coming in a couple of minutes after nearly 30mins we didn't receive it and was told the order hadn't gone through. This was very disappointing especially as the children were looking forward to their puddings. The staff apologised but after being told it was coming to then be told half an hour later nothing had been prepared this was quite annoying as it was getting late and the kids were getting tired and cranky.

Went for Sunday lunch, never been here before, recommended to us. Good menu choice, lovely inside and out. Clean 👍 friendly staff and good service. Roast was great

Great food, great staff well worth going

I love this place. Staff are great. Food is smashing. And has a decent beer selection. Outdoor seating area is nice too.

We had a lovely meal with family,food was delicious including the chicken and vegetable penang curry,the staff were very attentive to our needs especially to our elderly parents which was very appreciated.Top Mark's to your team who clearly worked well together,I would have no hesitation in visiting your establishment again. Many thanks. Andy C.

What a lovely pub and the food is very good to a friendly family and dog lovers dream would recommend

We come here all the time. Wonderful staff, no issues with seating and always great food and service. Well done gang! Xxx

We had a special meal for our parents for their 66th Wedding anniversary and Krystina and her team went above and beyond to make it special and even put up some banners for us. Such a lovely establishment and the food was amazing. Good variety on the menu and the Cocktails were lovely. Ella and Theo made sure we had everything we needed and made our elderly parents very happy. Will definately be returning.

Great pub, promptly served with lovely cocktails, and amazing food. Highly recommended the Chicken liver pate and the Pork belly, delicious! Everybody wished us well on the way out 😊

We frequent the travellers rest in Edlesborough often, and love it in there. However on Monday 17th June we were in there and the staff were out of this world. Working so hard with a severe shortage of staff and yet were working above and beyond, despite running around like headless chickens! Fab staff, thank you, Jess, Lisa and Theo, plus the cooks! You were amazing. Love this pub!

Faultless. Everything was great. Great food, lovely service. Atmosphere was great. We recommend and will return

We stopped here before a long journey to rest and refuel. It was a Thursday around 5pm and the restaurant was fully booked but there was space in the bar area where we could order food at the bar. This suited our needs. They had a fair number of options for gluten and dairy free which was great to see with staff on hand to ask questions. The food was tasty and good value. The place had a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend a visit.

Always a warm welcome and greetings.

Managed to get a table in the bar area without booking. Lovely meal, had the sea bass. Only downside, couple came in with 2 big dogs next to us which smelt really bad, not nice when you are eating. Think they should have sat outside as it was a lovely day. Could have complained, but a bit of an awkward situation.

The lady in charge is always friendly and welcomes me by name.

Came here for brunch last weekend, the cutest little spot for brunch, highly recommend, couldn’t fault’

Great place to eat, great food and service

Lovely food as always and good service

Great atmosphere and fantastic food . Reasonably priced.

Just stopped by for a coffee. It's spacious pub, plenty of seats indoors and outdoors. Friendly and happy staff. :)

Came for some quick food as haven’t been here for 10 years so thought I would have a quick see if the food was good. Friendly staff, nice furnishing. Food was okay I wouldn’t rush back. Chain pub you know what your getting.

£20 for the roast beef where your portion is only 2 small slices of beef in unacceptable. It's a shame as the atmosphere and service on the whole is great as a new local find for us but the portion size and high price will stop us from returning.

Honestly, it was one of the best breakfast experiences we have had! I never caught the name of the lady who served us, but she was absolutely lovely, we were the first ones in for brunch, and it was such a nice quiet experience. Food was honestly soum of the best I've had and priced very, very well. I can tell this pub is run very well and the team is beyond professional. We will be planning to go once or twice a month now 💪🏻

Great ambience, and food choices

Amazing food and amazing service from our waitress Lisa, I would highly recommend the Sunday lunch. Yhe pub is also dog friendly

Too Expensive. For the food we had. Potatoes needed a bit more cooking & liked to have seen them a bit crunchier on the outside. . Broccoli also needed a bit more cooking it was hard instead of crunchie. I had thr Manngo Pavlova. Cost if £8.75. It was a large meringue all hard with a raspberry taste a little white chocolate and lots of cream on top and mango pieces on the plate. Definitely not worth the money. But presentation on all the food was nice, well it looked lovely but eating wise not so good. Slow Service, and one member of staff was a bit out of order, let's say a bit unnecessary. It wasn't any the young staff who served us they were very nice. Shame because it is a lovely looking and comfortable pub. Won't be going back for Sunday Lunch.

Great visit at lunch today. KRYSTINA and the team looked after us very well. Food was great.

Great Pub, food was amazing and the team were very friendly and attentive. Lovely decor inside and great ambience. I would definately return to this restaurant again.

Beautiful friendly place to eat and drink. The manager Krystina is always plesent and very helpful and has an amazing team working with her

Lovely food, excellent service. Lamb skewers delicious. Roast dinner was great too. Kids enjoyed their food. Great location when visiting Whipsnade zoo.

Attended on a Sunday afternoon, two adults and two children. Service was friendly and prompt. The pub was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the quality of the food, particularly the children’s meals. We had a roast dinner and the portions were generous.

Absolutely enjoyed our meal tonight, greeted by friendly staff member who showed us to our table Our waitress was Breeze who is a true credit to your Team, made us feel so welcome we asked about returning with our dog and explained seating options & talked through menu options for Sunday lunch Foid was delicious would say the mac n cheese portion was very small Thank you for a lovely evening

Excellent food, good drink, all staff are very attentive, very recommended..

Good bar snacks food and nice atmosphere with friendly staff

We had a really lovely meal here my fillet steak was cooked to perfection the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the service was excellent would definitely recommend this place

My waitress is beautiful lady with beautiful soul called Jan who was fantastic helper and made ua feel really welcome as this was my first time there and I will be back again.

Nice food, but a bit pricy for a pub menu.

Nice place to stop off something to eat quick drink. Lovely

Overall, good night out. Staff were polite and friendly but a little slow with service. One meal was not up to scratch but the other 5 were. Would return.

The service was good the guy that served the s was excellent but he had so many tables to look after it was so unbelievable. Maybe you need more staff is evident. Also your food portions have shrunk considerably. For a dinner for 2 costing £97 we should have been satisfied which was definitely not the case. No value for money whatsoever. I used to love dropping into this pub for a meal now I have to re-think my options. I get much more food other places and for less I might add.

Good service, prompt. Good food and drink

Easy to book at the last minute. Friendly bar staff upon arrival. Great table, round for 6 of us, which made talking much easier. Unfortunately not enough waiting staff as the restaurant got busier. The pie of the day was steak and Merlot - the majority of steak was grizzle, which made the pie unenjoyable. The rest of the food was good but large portions. Could do with offering medium and large on some, i.e., fish and chips. Will not put us of returning however.

Nice place with good food and service

10 of us came here for a birthday meal. The food and staff were fantastic. Lydia and Callum were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. A great atmosphere and a pub I would certainly recommend.

Very accommodating staff - sorted a table for wheelchair access which was much appreciated and made my son feel comfortable so he could enjoy his meal. Only grumble is no roast potatoes with the Sunday roast dinner - other than that would highly recommend

We lucked upon this lovely little pub while travelling When we first looked at the menu, we thought it looked a bit expensive but we wanted lunch, it had a lovely pub garden, and we didn't care. When the food arrived, we realised that it was excellent value. The food was absolutely delicious. We've tried "fine dining" places that aren't nearly as good. The "signature burger" was amazing. A gorgeous juicy burger, topped with melt-in-the-mouth brisket. One of the best burgers we've ever had The skewers were equally as good. We tried the lamb ones - wonderful. A crust of what tasted like oregano and mint, served over a mouth-watering "sauce" of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill and feta (possibly more but that's what we tasted). Fantastic friendly and professional staff too. We're not sure of the names of the staff, but they took time to chat to us and tell us about the dishes and drinks. They're a credit to the pub. We will absolutely make a point of going out of our way to come here again. It was top-notch. Everything about it exceeded any expectations. Thank you!

Lovely friendly pub with spacious dining/drinking areas inside and out.

Always great food.... And the staff are so lovely!

Just had a meal with my Wife here and it was fantastic! The staff are polite, attentive and welcoming The venue itself is clean and retains the rustic charm The food was amazing, highly recommended the sticky sharing platter Will be going back

Amazing location excellence food and service can’t wait for a return visit thanks again

Amazing little place on the way to Luton, perfect little stop to say goodbye

Excellent food, service and weather. What more could you ask for.

Excellent food,looked well presented as well tasting delicous.speedy service considering how busy they were.place itself looks really welcoming.

Food and staff great, but food was slow coming to the table

The service was impeccable and we loved our server. The restaurant looks clean and nice. The food was fantastic too.

Eight of us had an awesome lunch at Traveller’s Rest yesterday. We were greeted with big smiles from all staff who can’t do enough for you. Kids were also more than accommodated. Oh, and the beef brisket sandwich with Belgian fries is incredible!!! Keep up the great work Traveller’s Rest team!!

Back after a while and this place is still lovely. We are always made to feel welcome by Krystina and the team

Go here alot but don't recommend it enough great staff great food.

Great service, friendly atmosphere and lovely food ❤️

Nothing was great. We waited over an hour for food of which the fish was overcooked and other items on different plates cold. Nobody came up and asked if everything was OK with our meals. My daughter in law cleared plates from our table as the waitress started to then disappeared so after waiting half hour we cleared ourselves. Our table was pre booked for 4:30. We had 2 small children with us and eventually left at 7pm. It was my first time visiting and I don't think I'll be back.

Excellent customer service and delicious meal. The hand soap in the ladies was lovely - it's the little things that separate excellent from good.

Food was very nice service was quick with a smile.

Food amazing staff very helpful would go again

Very pleasant Vintage Inn. Tasty, if predictable food nicely prepared. Delightful staff & plenty of parking. A light open atmosphere with outside seating.

Tasty food nice atmosphere - highly recommended

Lovely lunch . Great pub with fabulous food and an exceptional team. My family and I were very well looked after by Nicola. Nothing was too much trouble.

Friendly staff, excellent food, good choices on the menu.

Fabulous Sunday lunch, have the Sunday trio, it's faultless. Everything good about the place!

Ate there yesterday, I had the lamb skewer with pitta and houmous, it was delicous, for my drink I had Timothy Taylor bitter shandy, lovely The bar staff were friendly and polite, thanks

Very friendly staff, good service and delicious food. Would recommend.

Last minute arrival....no booking but accommodated us very quickly. Great food, lovely service and pleasant surroundings

Service was extremely slow, seemed to be understaffed for a fully booked restaurant, long wait for drinks and food between each course. Food was OK, but I would of expected better for the prices charged.

We booked a table through the Vintage Inns App. Lovely friendly welcome on arrival. Perfect table as we had our Granddaughter with us, who required a high chair. The food, drink and service was of a high quality. Ella was particularly helpful and attentive. An excellent experience.

Nice place. Quite expensive for a lunchtime but food was good. Didn't like the waitress giving us the bill before we said we had finished but that's probably a me thing.

Our third time here and really didn't like the food this time
