The Whip Inn in Wycombe

Food ok but no desserts. Staff pleasant enough but did not really seem to know about the food. No fizzy drinks ie. Coke or lemonade as gas machine broken

We've been coming to The Whip Inn for a Christmas reunion for over 20 years. There's a group of 20-30 of us who worked for an American computer company called Tandem. We'll arrive at 12, some stay until 7 or 8, and are provided with a hot and cold buffet. The food this year was fresh, very tasty, and did a great job of soaking all the excellent beer up. Thanks to all for a great time! Cheers!

Nice clean pub, restaurant area and bar area, very clean, good portions of food, well cooked, friendly staff, will come again

We went to The Whip for dinner and had one of the best burgers I've ever had - absolutely delicious. There was also a wide range of beers available on tap and the service from the friendly staff was top notch. The beer garden is also excellent with plenty of seating and not forgetting the large windmill just over the fence. We were also there to watch the live band (Blast!) who were also brilliant. We'll be back soon.

Its not a fancy gastro pub but is popular with locals, cyclists, walkers etc Staff were friendly and service was good. Food menu was limited as some items unavailable but we enjoyed our meal and thought food and drink were reasonable value. Portions were generous. Parking could be difficult at busy times. Beer garden at back has view towards windmill!

I booked a table in advance for 4 adults at 5pm on a Saturday, and our experience was absolutely terrible. My main feedback for this establishment is that you need better management and organisation. There were only two members of staff working on one of the hottest Saturdays of the year, they were clearly rushed off their feet and waiting for a drink was a painfully slow process. The chef was evidently swamped and ran out of a lot of food- including chips. The urinals were flooded when we arrived, and for the remaining two hours. Merely labelling this as “caution wet floor” and continuing to keep them open was a massive hygiene issue. There were honestly too many issues to list them all in one review, but to name a few; we waited 20 minutes to order anything; we waited 1 hour 50 minutes for our main course to arrive; they ran out of chicken, chips and various other things. They only told us this after we’d ordered and waited 40 minutes. The gluten free options were extremely limited and a lot of food looked deep fat fried.I think it is important to say that the staff were very apologetic and clearly embarrassed. It seemed as if it was not their fault, but a manager who had left them all in an impossible situation. Also as we were finally leaving, another booking arrived and were sent away as there was no food left and the staff were not expecting them. I would absolutely not recommend eating at this pub, it truly was an awful experience with an outrageous cost.

I live locally and have had drinks in this pub fairly regularly before the first lockdown. It has recently appointed a new chef and I was keen to support, so booked a table to take my family to dinner to celebrate my daughter's graduation. The table was booked well in advance and at an early time (7pm). When we arrived for dinner, we were greeted with 'you're not expecting to eat are you?' and were told that they had run out of food. When asked why we hadn't been called (which would have given me the opportunity to book somewhere else) we were told 'I've been run off my feet and really busy'. Not even an apology, let alone a complimentary drink or offer of alternative. One very very disappointed family as it was booked for a celebration. We won't be back.

We stopped here for lunch after a walk in the fields near the windmill. It was a late lunch and unfortunately our choice wasn't available. Of our two meals I would give 5 stars for one and 3 stars for the other, hence to 4 star rating as the average. We enjoyed the view to the nearby windmill, which was closed to visitors.

The food here was good. - a proper Sunday lunch. All caution being given to Covid 19 bc but still stays friendly . New landlord of not a few months . Well done so far

We arrived an hour before kitchen opened and they happily cooked for us. Great service and very friendly

Lovely, relaxed evening with great food and friendly service. Would highly recommend for a casual place to pop in for food or drinks.

Decided to treat the kids to dinner and we all loved it. The chips are delicious, crispy and fluffy in the middle. Children's meals have improved with better portion sizes for older kids and the chicken nuggets were proper bits of chicken rather than tiny frozen bites. Ordering was flexible for fussy eaters and sharing. Lovely atmosphere, decoration and priced well!

After being let down by the Pink and Lilys shocking service up the road we walked down to this little gem Had fish and chips the batter was top notch and the wife had Tuna melt prity standard stuff but all cooked very wellAlso staff very welcoming and friendly unlike up the road Get down here for an afternoon for some good pub grub and great service Dogs welcome also

Excellent meal on Saturday, very good band (The astronauts?) and, of course, the best beer around. The Whip is back!

The staff were welcoming, the food was lovely would come here again. My daughter loved her food too and she's very fussy! Nice view of the windmill outside too. Will be back,thank you.

Over 30 of us this year enjoyed some great beers and a great buffet provided by Andrea, Jan and all the staff at The Whip Inn. We were very looked after from lunchtime until dark.The buffet was a mix of hot and cold finger food and came out in two lots - did a great job in soaking up the many pints we had.A great day - thanks to all the staff!!

My husband and I were in the area so decided to pop in for some dinner. The staff where so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We will defiantly be returning.

I looked on Trip Advisor after finishing up at a local attraction and The Whips reviews made my decision. We were greeted warmly by a lovely lady who served our drinks and set us up a tab. She told us which roasts were available and said the pork has the best crackling ever. We were lucky enough to be able to sit in the lovely garden which has a magnificent view of the Smock fronted windmill at Lacey Green. Roasted loin of pork ordered x2 we enjoyed the early September sunshine. Our meals arrived with a generous portion of meat, roasties and a good sized yorkshire pudding a stuffing ball and gravy, sides of delicious cauliflower cheese, parsnip, carrot and broccoli plus extra gravy and THEEE best crackling were duly devoured. This was a seriously good Sunday Lunch, we didn’t even look at the desert menu and 6 hours later i am still pleasantly replete. Definitely a return destination.

Great garden for eating out in fine weather, with good view of the windmill. Good range of beers, with sample pots on display, and well-cooked gastropub food. Friendly efficient service, well worth a visit.

Andrea, the new manager, is trying hard to turn things around but it appears that the owners put all their efforts into their other places. Its a shame because the bar staff are friendly & welcoming and the food is good too. There is a beer garden that overlooks the Windmill which on nice day its really pleasant. However, the inside is very tired. The Whip Inn would benefit from lots of support to kick-start what is potentially a lovely pub.

Lovely food, staff were very friendly. Fantastic view of the windmill behind, would recommend. Will be visiting again.

Nice location with good service and lovely food staff very friendly and very good atmosphere in this well kept pub.

Having visited The Whip Inn twice recently for dinner, with a pre-booked large group, the staff were friendly and helpful both times - accommodating our large number with ease, and serving all of us quickly. All of the food was delicious, with generous portions. They have a good selection of ales and beers that we enjoyed in the garden on our last visit. I look forward to returning soon.

After an evening of exercise we decided to try the Whip for our evening meal and a drink. Battered cod and chips was excellent and my wife’s buttered halloumi very good too. Batter can so often be think and greasy but not here. Good real ales and wines too. Thank you

The staff were friendly and the service was good. The food was plentiful, hot, and tasty. The honeycomb cheesecake was delicious.

We have been going to this pub for 25years, and tonight was absolutely terrible.

Visited The Whip with family for a lunchtime meal. The good was average (cheesecake was straight out of the freezer and solid as a rock). Rebellion beer was cloudy which it never is normally. Disappointing overall.

We've eaten here a number of times over the past 10+ years, most recently for Mothers Day this year and this most recent experience was unquestionably the best I've had. The food was superb - the most generous sized portion of roast beef I've seen in a pub topped with a large homemade Yorkshire and a selection of perfectly cooked veg! Service was prompt and friendly and the beer as tasty as always!

Great food, good choice of beers, reasonable choice for gluten free, service was a little slow and disjointed but overall quite acceptable.

25-30 of us met last Friday at lunchtime for a hot and cold buffet to soak up the beer we planned to be drinking.

Have been visiting this pub for several years, two/three times annually. Previously largenumbers of cars strteched along the Pink Road and bar was full of after work drinkers. No more. On my last weekday visit there were two at the bar, the previous very reasonable menu has been changed, and prices elevated accordingly. Garlic bread was severely burnt and the lasagna considerably overcooked. However the Patron deducted the cost and this was appreciated. One girl to serve drinks, take orders, serve food and clear away. I fear for the future of this pub if improvements are not made.

We had a fab evening, the food was excellent, great roast and good wine The whip is our local pub, always a good selection of beer, the wine is good too

Located on a main transport route, accessible by car and by bus, however limited parking.

Popped in for lunch on a Monday.

Used to really rate this pub for it's ales, food , garden and views. However after yesterday's food offerings not so sure I'll be going back. Having booked a table for 1pm and being seated then, it took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken and a further 50 minutes for our food to be served. 4 of our party of 5 had roasts - 3 beef and 1 nut roast. When the food finally arrived it was soon apparent that the Yorkshire puddings were cold, as well as being either burnt or in some cases cremated. We pointed this out and, to be fair, they were soon replaced with hot ones - but still either burnt or cremated. We decided to plod on although the meat was lukewarm ( and parts were far too pink), as were the roast potatoes which had clearly been cooked long ago and left to stand as the outsides were tough and rubbery, as were the parsnips ( I think they were parsnips) which were also far too overdone. The only hot item was the broccoli which was I guess was supposed to be al dente but was in fact hard. There was no apology for the delay in service which I gathered later, from hearing comments from others, was due to being one down in the kitchen and a waitress short too. On completion of the meal my wife expressed our dissatisfaction with the roasts and received just a "sorry about that" from the waitress. The only member of our group who enjoyed his meal was my son who opted for fish and chips, and this was good having been freshly cooked. So, the moral of the story is beware of your choice of meal at this venue - maybe ask on arrival what the day's staffing situation is !

Visited for lunch and was pleased with the food on offer and the service received. Friendly staff welcomed us to the pub and showed us to a table where we were served with our drinks and given a menu, there are often specials on the board. Good range of meals and a willingness to adjust for individual needs for instance small portions for the elderly or children. Reasonably comfortable dining area although it is needing a little bit of attention to give it a bit of sparkle. If you like your beer and want a hearty lunch it is certainly worth a visit.

We visited yesterday during a busy Sunday lunchtime. On this occasion we only went for a drink but the food looked amazing so next time we’ll be eating! Despite a busy restaurant the service was superb. We received a cheery welcome and took our drinks to the garden. There is a fantastic view of the windmill and a perfect spot for a get together with friends. Thank you, well worth a visit x

We have been here a few times since the new chef took over and the food is amazing. Celebrated a family birthday there last week and all the party really enjoyed the food. Can highly recommend the burger and the ribs. Definitely worth a visit and from reading the reviews on here we will be back for Sunday lunch.

Scrummy Sunday lunch with roast beef, enormous Yorkshire pudding and tasty vegetables including creamy leeks with bacon. We sat out in the garden which was a special treat apart from the flies which are inevitable in the country when you are next to a field of cows. Service was friendly and quick, and it was surprisingly quiet: maybe because it was the school holidays. After lunch we walked up to the fascinating Lacey Green windmill which is just behind the pub. Only £2.50 for a guided tour to the top but check in advance when it might be open.

Dropped in here for dinner last night without a reservation, staff were friendly and accommodating even though they seemed quite busy, and found us a table. My partner and I both had salads (chicken and blue cheese, and a prawn salad - which was on special I believe). Both delicious. Pub is in a lovely spot. Will make a point to visit again.

Wow first time at this pub Will deff becoming back had the burger which was to die for. Staff very friendly and polite.

Came here with my boyfriend, my mum and her partner. We had a lovely lunch with excellent service. The calamari to start was lovely and the perfect amount, and the burger was delicious and could tell it was home made!! Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be returning

We used to travel 24miles to this pub. Really good pub grub and lovely garden and views. Well the views are still there but little else. We started with calamari. This used to be nice pieces of squid with a light batter covering. What we got was the cheapest frozen calamari rings. They were so bad and cheap that they tasted more like oily onion rings. For main my partner had Greek chargrilled pork chops. You can’t fault the quantity with 2 chops but they looked aneamic and definitely had never seen a grill, maybe boiled. She found them inedible so wrapped them up for our visiting fox later. I had the ribs. Obviously heated up in a bag with the sauce poured down the middle. Luckily there are so many more pubs that serve at least half decent food. Surely the ‘chef’ must be embarrassed to cook like this or is it the managers trying to make a bigger profit. Well if people don’t eat there then your profits will stop. Why not serve decent food so that people, like us, continue going there. We will put a big line through this one.

My husband his brother,sister in law and her mother along with myself went to the whip for a bite to eat. It is a lovely little pub with great atmosphere. On arrival we were shown to the dining area and told to choose a table we chose one in the small bay window because it gave us room for mum in laws wheelchair. The staff bought over the menus and gave us time to select while getting our drinks. The food arrived at the same time after being freshly cooked so we could all eat together. The menu was very good and had a great choice of hot delicious food all reasonably priced. I would highly recommend you visit this place when your next in the area, it's very popular with hikers as well as business people and family's.

Just had a great meal in the Whip with my wife, the staff are excellent, attentive and friendly, I would ignore the previous rant on Trip advisor! Get yourselves down for a couple pints and a good hearty pub meal Well recommended Cheers

We were guests of the head chef for the group of pubs that the owner operates after doing him a big favour helping him move with and lending him a van.

Regular visitor of this pub. We always enjoy the food here and always friendly locals around the bar. There are 2 young ladies often working very hard who are a credit to the place. It can get very busy and then service slows down, but not at all their fault! Highly recommended if you are in the area

Starters were lovely. Mains good be improved.

We often pop in at the weekend for a couple of drinks and have been pleased to see the pub slowly being rejuvevated. Last weekend we had a sandwich lunch on Saturday - great value for money! I can definitely recommend this pub.

Took an old friend the day after it reopened from a refurbishment and a great job. I had the liver and bacon special and my friend the sirloin steak - both were excellent. I will be back.

Had Sunday roast dinner with family , massive portions and good quality meat. First time we had been there, definitely will return. Great value we all thought.

A country pub with good beers & a beer garden but the quality of the food served has dropped recently. Which is a shame as it used to be so good.

Well, I hadn`t eaten in the Whip for some time. The last time I did the pub was run by Nick an old acquaintance of mine. He had an array of real ales & a good selection of food on the menu. I remember ordering ham, egg & chips and it was delicious.

A nice menu with many classic's. Well cooked food and friendly staff make this pub a must if your in the area. Also lovely views of the windmill which stands behind the pub.

Sigue siendo el mejor pub en la zona, vale la pena un 45 minutos a pie de la colina! Buena selección de cervezas y real bien cuidado excelente, caseras comida estilo pub (con algunas ofertas especiales en la junta) a precios muy razonables. El pastel...

Aparecimos aquí ayer para una copa rápida y algo de almuerzo. Gratamente sorprendidos por la variedad en el menú, y disfrutamos de nuestra comida. Nos sentamos en el jardín con vistas al molino rodeado de flores animadas. El personal era muy servicial y acogedor aunque...

Sólo he visto un comentario sobre el pescado y patatas fritas, bien no estoy de acuerdo con eso, sólo el pescado y patatas fritas y fue excelente, perfectamente preparada y el bateador era precioso, 100% recomendaría a otros.

A unos 20 - 25 de reunirse dos veces al año, hemos estado utilizando el látigo Inn durante los últimos 12 años debido a la amplia variedad de cervezas en oferta y el gran jardín. Pedimos Kris si él haría una barbacoa para nosotros esta vez y nos impresionó muchísimo la cantidad y calidad de la comida. Precioso hamburguesas, salchichas, quiche, kebabs y ensalada.

Visited several times during our stay in the area for a drink after our walks. Staff excellent, beer excellent, so we decided to try the food. We both had the jumbo fish with chips and peas, really poor, both pieces of fish completely tasteless and the chips were, some hard, some soft, a real disappointment(perhaps smaller chips would make consistency of cooking easier!). I do feel it has let the place down considerably! A real shame, 3.5 would have been a fairer mark but food was just so poor. Definitely the pub for beer though.

Reasonable range of beers available but the quality of the food on offer has been disappointing on my last couple of visits so I guess there have been changes in the kitchen. Less options on the menu and there didn't appear to be much on offer for vegetarians.Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Lovely atmosphere late nights and great food! Definitely returning! Great, wide variety of ales and ciders and good prices.Locals very friendly and management very involved!

Visited on a Tuesday evening for a meal looking for a new venue to add to list of local pubs to visit for meals out. Disappointed, service was friendly and helpful but food disappointing, unfortunately we will not be adding this venue to our list..

Long time landlord, Nick, recently retired and the new couple who took over have made a pretty good job of keeping most of the things that were great about this pub in keeping.The food is still very good and good value too, although the breadth of the menu has been reduced (which is not necessarily a bad thing). The burger is still excellent, although the salad is not as extensive and it is served on a poncey board (what on earth is wrong with good old fashioned and hygienic plates?).The beer is still excellent quality although the choice is less extensive since there are always two beers from Greene King on the bar. The Rebellion IPA is priced at £2.90 which is very good value for this area.It has however, lost the peace and quiet that the pub once enjoyed as there is now a television and piped music in the bar, which is a shame.Still these are minor gripes aside as it is still the best pub in the area and worth the 2.5 mile walk from Risborough!

Excellent village pub with a great atmosphere. Always a warm welcome. Roaring fires in winter. A good "pub classics" menu, with a variety of specials on the board. Guest beers and a very nice selections of wines available. Recommended

This was our 1st visit since the new owners have arrived, food is still very good, service as good as ever & still the 6 real ales selection, look forward to our next visit in a couple of weeks. Ps glad their continuing to have the beer festival!

We dropped in on spec before going for an afternoon walk. As usual the food was exceptional as was the service. Shame a few more places haven't adopted this method of keeping customers happy, good food, good service, good selection of drinks, simple and the Whip delivers on all fronts. Not our first visit and certainly won't be our last.

What a fabulous meal for my Mothers birthday. With 7 adults and 2 kids they were truly accommodating for the kids needs. Fabulous food and excellent beers, a true local pub experience. Chris & Marie the new owners are a credit to their trade. New to the area we will return!!!

Went in on a one after a day with my partner and had a great time! Good beer, good food, good staff and over good atmosphere! Will be visiting again when in the area!

We often meet up for a 'school reunion' at The Whip and was pleasantly surprised that the new owners had a good varied and inexpensive menu, the food was cooked to perfection and staff really attentive. Will be back for more soon!

Visited This pub for the first time since it has been taken over and was very pleased to see that it still retains it's friendly,local feel. The food is very reasonably priced ,all cooked fresh and lots of it! My dogs have had their dinner tonight, courtesy of them. Will certainly go back.

Popped in for lunch today not knowing the pub had new management, the staff were lovely very welcoming and explained the specials on offer. Unfortunately the menu had changed from the one currently on their website and what we normally order. Love to visit again sometime if the Peasant Salad is back on the menu.Best of luck to the new management.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first meal at the Whip.The food was good quality, and the service excellent.Staff particularly good with my 5 year old.Well done to the new management.

Having booked the Christmas menu for 6 people to dine on 18th Dec 16 and paid the deposit, I was a little apprehensive when I heard that the premises had changed hands, and wondered what to expect under the new mgt. Well I need not have worried, the meal was excellent as was the service and the warm welcome, I could fault nothing. We will be going back again real soon. Many thanks and best wishes for 2017..

The new management are lovely, truly genuine characters who provide a happy face and welcoming environment to an already well established, homely pub. The selection of real ales are still as great as ever, and I look forward to my next visit.

Wishing Kris & Marie success in their new venture. Lovely pub, so much character, fine selection of ales and a warming fire.. What more could you ask for? Will be back soon to sample the menu too.

A warm welcome and attentive staff made a stress free evening at the Whip Inn. We'd booked after seeing the entry in CAMRAs Good Beer Guide - it certainly ticked that box with LocAles (Local Ales) from XT & Leighton Buzzard.Superb food served efficiently and fuss free - top marks there!It's great to visit a hostelry, such as this, and not be hastled when you've finished your meal and want to chat at the table

New management and first trip there since they took over. A few hiccups but they handled it brilliantly and professionally. A lovely couple with enthusiasm and passion. Support this local business with great food and reasonable priced drinks.

We went here for lunch with a very mixed party of volunteers and clients from a disabled charity and were a little worried that the management had only recently changed. However we need not have been concerned, everything was as good or better than before. Because of problems with a tooth extraction and an errant boiler repairer we need to order off menu and get served before the rest of the party. The Whip team were not at all phased by this and a soft lunch was provided for my wife, after which we arrived home in time to meet the boiler man. Thanks guys!

Having heard on the grapevine that this well known establishment was under new management, naturally I had my concerns. To follow such a reputation from the previous landlord/lady is by no means an easy task! I have been a customer here for a couple of years, and have frequented 1,2,3 or all 4 pubs along this ridgeway (Thanks to the 300 bus!).I had booked for a table of 4 for lunch with my family. When we arrived, we were greeted by a smiling young couple. The whole place smelt fresh and clean, a fire was beautifully warming the restaurant and there were a few propping up the bar! A wonderful selection of ales (wish I could have tried all 6), and understandably, a limited menu. I chose the Chilli con Carne and my partner had the lasagne. Whilst waiting for our lunch, my partner popped off to visit the little boys room and I did my best to entertain my in laws. During conversation, my in laws commented on how having low background music made a atmosphere, which is something I hadn't noticed before, most likely because there wasn't any previously! Before long, (and thankfully) my partner returned with cheeky grin on his face,I later found out it was because he'd never seen those toilets so clean! (Oh the little things....)Our food arrived shortly, piping hot, plentiful and appetising. I made a point of telling a member of staff that I enjoyed my Chilli and is tasted fresh and homemade. I hadnt realised that the lady I spoke to was actually one of the new managers and also the same person who made it! She seemed bewildered and yet grateful for the few words we exchanged. This place does seem different, but from us, the Tea Family, we would like to wish Kris and Marie, the new managers of The Whip the very best of luck and success for the future! You'll see us soon guys! Give them a chance. Sue.

Terrible... all previous reviews are obsolete as the ownership of this has changed, and consequently the atmosphere and menu choice. Beer still good at the moment, but who knows what the future holds.

Went for a couple with a friend,friendly bearded barman,good selection of ales and crisps and you can park as well. Lovely place

Visited with a friend for lunch. Wonderful front of house reception from Grace -warm and friendly smile. Helpful and chatty, yet very efficient. Enjoyed a very large and wholesome lunch. Surprisingly busy with lunchtime dinbets are very good value. Will definately he back.

Regular haunt for those local and not so local. Excellant food at very reasonable prices. Book early as always busy.

We were spoilt for choice of both ale, wine, and food. We visit twice a year when visiting a nearby friend, and enjoy the "local pub" atmosphere. The Whip is a rare pub, because it also produces good, well-presented food. I often go for the Peasant Salad as a gluten-free option and was not disappointed this time around. My colleagues all tucked in to their meals, and it was clean plates all round. It was lovely to hear the locals in the Bar playing dominoes and cards. Wish we had a place like this near our home. Lacey Green is indeed blessed!

A great busy and lively pub for real ales not to be missed. The meals we had were great and tasty. The only let down was the table and plate presentation, along with the fact we had to go up to the bar to order food and collect drinks, that looses a couple of stars.

Stopped in on the way past for a drink with a friend.Despite it being busy we were served almost instantly and had a choice of where to sit. The staff were friendly and engaging. The food on offer sounded great, and I've been recommended to go back. Apparently it's well worth it.

Lovely beer garden full of flowers over looking a windmill. We shared whitebait which was delicious with plenty of bread and butter, piping hot. My husband had the Whip burger and I had the lamb burger from the special menu. Both were delicious with a pile of chips and a decent side salad as opposed to the token leaf you get some places. The lamb burger was clearly made in house and full of pine buts and sultanas, different and very tasty. Soft drinks are reasonably priced too- as a lime and soda drinker it is something that matters! The pub has 2 Jack Russell's but they don't bother you to the point of annoying like another pub in the area so really aren't a problem ( and are quite sweet!). Would definitely come back for a 'proper' meal as opposed to lunch burgers.

If you're looking for a pub which serves great 'pub food' then the Whip's a good start.With a lovely garden and great service is a lovely place for Sunday roast or an evening meal. :)

Lunchtime visit with family, excellent choice of ales, good menu, good quality food. Barman very friendly an attentive. This pub certainly keeps a good cellar, will most definatly visit again.

After visiting friends, they took us to The Whip for Sunday Lunch. Don't know about previous reviewer, but I also had the roast beef and it was delicious. Veg was cooked to perfection - and portion size very generous. I enjoyed the whole meal and would certainly recommend it. We did book in advance, don't know if you could call in on spec.

Having eaten many sunday roasts at The Whip Inn and enjoyed every vist, we felt disappointed by our meal today. The beef was over cooked and chewy, luke warm and generally tasteless.Also when coming to pay the bill another tables drinks had been added ,this is the second time this has happened.

Although the real ales have always been an attraction our most recent visit for lunch has left us looking for some new venues. I was very disappointed with my 'jumbo cod and chips'. The cod size appeared average and the chips tasted like the frozen chips I can buy at the supermarket. My partner's smoked haddock and cheesy mash looked a better bet.

The Jam Roly and custard should come with a caution.... in that you're not going to move much afterwards! Amazing pud and great service as usual.

Always advisable to book as this pub/restaurant is very popular.Good pub grub with no fancy frills.If you like ales and cider, you will love this pub. They regularly change the ales.They also have regular beer festivals if this takes your fancy.

A very nice old inn with a good choice of real ales and red wine. My husband and I went with two friends for lunch and all our meals were excellent. The portions were very generous and you certainly won't be hungry when you leave. Good friendly service too.

Great food, great beer and great ambiance in this friendly pub situated next to Lacey Green windmill.Very good quality pub grub standards are served at exceptionally good prices (Whip Burger with all the trimmings, weighing in at £8.75)A constantly changing selection of well kept beers, many from local breweries completes the picture.

Visited with a pre-booked group on a Monday lunchtime. Surprised how busy it was. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Good portions of un-frilly pub food - nothing fancy, but all of a good standard. Interesting, well kept draft beers. Friendly service.

My friend and I met here on Monday 21st Dec for our pre Christmas pressy swap & catch up chat etc. We have been here before for lunch and as always the standard of the food was very good, normal pub grub &friendly staff. Pub dining area was empty when we arrived at 12 ish, then swiftly filled up. Food took a little while to arrive but as we were chatting that was fine. Some other ex colleagues decided in using the same place for their own similar meet up and sat along side us on an extended table set up. Tables are fairly close together if you want a private chat and can get rather noisy if a group are in. All in all a pleasant pub diner and I will return..

We came up for Christmas Dinner with friends & family for the 4th year in a row. As always the food was amazing. Our table had Beef which just melted in the mouth, Duck which was so tasty & Turkey which was just like we have a home. Great prices for a 2 or 3 course meal. Plus the selection of real ales & ciders always go down well. A warm, homely & friendly pub which I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a well cooked meal and a nice pint.

Let's be honest - fine dining this isn't, which is why I love this place. Amazing beers, and good old fashioned fairly priced pub grub. Never change...please...
