I was very fortunate to be able to stay at the Yew Tree on business for three nights. My room was stylish and comfortable and Joy and her staff were super kind and welcoming. Every evening croissants or pain au chocolat appeared in my room, along with yoghurt, fruit, muesli, milk and juice. The food in the restaurant was exceptionally good: inventive and delicious. I highly recommend a stay at the Yew Tree!

Excellent food & service. Really were spoilt for choice on the menu with 3 of our party having the sunday lunch and I selected fish. Each one beautifully presented and excellent value for money. This pub is well and firmly on our radar for a future visit.

We went on Saturday for dinner and the service from a young lad called Sam was impeccable. He was very polite, courteous and attentive. The best service we've had in years. The food was absolutely delicious 😋 too. Top class. The toilets were spotless, infact the whole place was very clean. All the staff worked so hard, it was boiling hot and packed outside but they all remained chipper. The only recommendations we have were to allow the staff to be able to wear cooler clothes, no shorts or dresses but only black top and black jeans...really? Its boiling!! Its the wonderful service that counts, who cares what you wear anymore, just wear a smile. Definitely going back.

We have recently moved to the area and the Yew Tree has quickly become a firm favorite. The food never disappoints and we are diligently working our way through the menu. The staff are so welcoming and they always go the extra mile to make your visit a great one. We have had lunch outside with a large group of hikers, lunch with young children and romantic dinners for two in the restaurant and all experiences have been wonderful. Highly recommended.

Thanks to all the team at the Yew Tree, Frieth for a warm welcome and a wonderful lunch yesterday - and especially for your patience with our lively and curious Pointer who took her time to settle in!! We loved our cosy fireside table and the food was exceptional. It felt like a treat and with very reasonable prices. We drove out from London to go walking before our visit. All well worth the journey - have already recommended to friends and we hope to be back one day (if you’ll have us!)

I've run pubs for many years, I run a 2 Rosette pub now, and so I can say The Vine is a good one! Called at 4.30pm on a Friday after dinner for 4 of us plus a dog. Now I have witnessed it many times before, even in my own teams, a team member answering that phone call, "oh, you want dinner, tonight? AND a dog? You've not booked already??" Made to feel a total inconvenience. Well anyway, not here, Joy answered, "yes that's no problem at all." A hospitality venue that welcomes paying guests, it's rare these days. We arrived, had a great table by the fire, a very friendly (and VERY professional) landlady, great food and nice beer. Below Joy, it's still just kids staffing the place, as we all battle with recruitment woes, but clearly they have been trained well, and mediocrity not accepted. In fact I believe we witnessed one young lady's first shift and she did very well, with Joy mentoring her all the way, with an almost full restaurant. All in all, an excellent pub, reasonably priced and very welcoming.

Having visited this country pub on numerous occasions I wanted to review them as feel this family run pub deserves a lot of credit for the hard work they put into their service and food. The menu changes regularly and this month no different as it’s full of new dishes and on our most recent visit I ordered the pork tenderloin - very succulent, beautiful sauce and veg were cooked Al dente how I like them. My husband had a steak (as he always does!) and as usual it was cooked to perfection and a very tasty meal. The service is friendly and they always check in on us with each course. Cannot recommend enough for couples or families - a good all round country pub in a very picturesque village.

Lovely pub but the food (Sunday Lunch) was a shocker and nothing like previous visits. Mussels were below par and I could not eat them. The beef was circular with no fat, pale and had suffered from sitting in a water Bath- veg were average and no cauliflower cheese was on the plate as advertised . Shame - I’ve had these dishes before and they made me come back…. Perhaps they were just having an off day.

We ordered drinks but unfortunately all Draft lagers were off which was a little disappointing. The service was prompt, polite. We ordered our starter that came quickly, our main lunch a little longer but all was ok. All in all, a good experience, the food was very nice although could have been a little hotter in temperature. I would recommend this place to others.

Was looking for somewhere different for Sunday lunch and decided to try to Yew Tree after reading other reviews. It’s about a 10 minute drive from Marlow through lovely country lanes and is definitely worth making the effort to get to. My friend and I shared the baked Camembert to start, we then chose the beef and chicken roast dinners. The food was lovely and the portions were very generous. Sadly didn’t have room for dessert, which was a pity as we saw some of what the neighbouring tables were having. The staff were very friendly and overall a very enjoyable experience, will be telling our friends about the Yew Tree as definitely worth a visit. Will definitely be back and will this time make room for dessert.

My husband and I frequented the Yew tree, we loved the rapport Carl had with the customers which really makes a place! The last two times we have been we have been met by a rude waiter, apparently being moved over from the pub in Lane End. When we arrived we stood in front of him waiting to be seated, there was no quick “hello I’ll be with you in a second” he just kept staring at his till screen. When we had our orders taken he asked my husband for his drink order then walked off! I tried to get his attention to say I was ready to order too (surely ladies first?) and I got a sarcastic “my, you’re a thirsty one aren’t you!” No sir, I would just like my order to be taken at the same time as my husbands! Basic customer service skills.On a positive note, my food was still the same high standard as when we had previously visited, but my partners burger seemed not as good quality as before, he was really looking forward to it as it was brilliant on previous visits, but he said seemed like it had been bought from a lower grade wholesaler.The little snippets of attention to detail and addressing the customer service aspect would bring it back to the wonderful pub we enjoyed before.

I chose the Yew tree after seeing that it was a runner up a magazines best Sunday roast vote. The staff on the telephone and in the restaurant were great, and the pub is a very nice inviting place. The roast Beef dinner was £18 . The beef was excellent, rare and plentiful, as was the lamb rump that my partner had. But the potatoes, the thing that is surely the benchmark that we rate any Sunday roast on, that should be crispy crunchy ones like we have at home , were soft, soggy and it seemed no effort was made at all to roast them off. The carrots were also rubbery and obviously reheated too much. £17 is not a cheap or even average price for a Sunday roast, the roast potatoes are fundamental to it, and not hard to get right. Basically every thing else that was good about the place went out of the window. If I was only eating a sunday roast, it would be a 2

Came here for lunch today. Not visited The Yew Tree in 10 or so years and had heard good reviews about it since it had been taken over by the same people who run The Grouse & Ale in nearby Lane End.Bar area was busy with locals which was great to see. Restaurant busy too. Liked the decor.Sunday menu had a good selection. We both opted for the roast dinners. Both dishes were very good. Great quality meat, well cooked and large portions. Wine list was also very good. Waiting staff need training and weren't great. Not very attentive and didn't seem to know what they were doing. Had to ask twice for condiments. Had no knifes on the table. The manager / main waiter was great though. Very personable and had his eye on all tables. Desserts were fab too. We sat in the conservatory area which I liked, however it needs a good clean. Have never seen so many cobwebs in my life - someone please sort this out as it was awful! I will be back, I liked the style of the place and really liked the food. Great place for a family lunch/dinner. Just needs a few tweaks and it will be an excellent dining venue.

We are locals and and used to be regular visitors to the Yew Tree. However, our last two visits have shown a decline in overall standards of service and consequently atmosphere. On our last visit, three of us had dinner in the restaurant. It was not busy, yet the experience was rather impersonal and the staff lacked leadership. As customers, we felt we were almost in the way. What a stark contrast to the Yew Tree of a few months ago! The Yew Tree is like a ship with no-one at the helm. This review is written by three people who care and as a plea for something to be done.

Perhaps once a week I pass the door, but have only eaten at the re-opened Yew Tree once around a year ago (friendly service, mixed food then). So I dropped in on a quiet Sunday lunchtime just for a drink while waiting for companions to finish a walk. The local beer was in good condition and came with a smile. Took my pint outside to sit in the sun and study the menu for another visit - there are several interesting looking dishes based around carefully sourced meat. The people I was waiting for arrived and I went to the bar and ordered them drinks too, served this time by (I think) the manager, who was fairly brisk. The three of us had been chatting at the only occupied table outside for maybe fifteen minutes when a third, young, member of staff asked whether he could bring us more drinks (thank you, but no); and whether he could bring a tray and clear our glasses. This he did (including the remains of my beer). If they’d been busy, I’m quite aware enough not to expect to sit talking over a drink when people want a table to eat. But that wasn’t the case. Lack of training or management policy? Guess it may be another year before I go back.

The food was a lovely as always and the service of the food to the table really good. The lovely girl who was serving us who had only been there a couple of days was truly excellent. The only reason why this time it’s not the full five stars was that the bar service to table was less than prompt. We had the ask 3 times about the drinks order and even though the staff were clearly trying their best, it took 20 minutes before they arrived. This is unusual for the Yew Tree and I am sure just a blip. It will not put us off as the food is excellent and I am sure next time round it will be back up to the full 5 stars.

We’re regulars at the Yew Tree and have always enjoyed the food and service but several times now on Sunday afternoons, the latest being today, we have been annoyed by some large groups of parents completely ignoring their young kids running round screaming at the tops of their voices the wholel time we were there. If staff would ask parents to have consideration for other diners and get their kids to behave properly that would be great, as it was,we left before dessert and coffee because of the annoying racket.

The food was, without a doubt, excellent, but alas the meal was spoiled. First, despite the restaurant having two tables occupied out of about ten, when we asked for the loud pop music to be turned down, the waiters were quite happy to do so, but apparently the manager overruled them. Eventually, it was turned down, and conversation could flow unhindered. But why play pop music in a restaurant anyway?

A proper picture book old country pub in a beautiful village setting. We were a group of 25 with kids and booked the day before. Sat in the lovely pub garden at the front of the pub. Food was excellent and reasonably priced for area. Good selection of local beers.

We hadn’t visited for some time so went as a family for lunch . The garden was beautiful with wonderful hanging baskets. The internal decor is very nicely done with lovely character. The staff were friendly and efficient . We were catering for vegans and vegetarians and I have to say the menu was very very put together . Interesting dishes and catering for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free . Very tasty starters with squid tempura and halloumi fritters being two interesting ones. Lovely salads and fish and good kids selection. Very good wine list so overall a very pleasant lunch

We went to the Yew Tree some years ago and being local to the area we drove past recently and dropped in for a late lunch. The pub has only been open about a year and a half in conjunction with a nice housing development behind the pub and it was a treat to eat and drink here, my wife and I both had their King Prawn dish ( small size ) followed a by a portion of the most gorgeous sticky toffee pudding with ice cream that I have ever tasted ! IN tandem with the Rebellion beer and really nice coffee everything was excellent and although it was not hugely busy Carl was a superb host and made us feel totally at home and welcome. Will return for sure.

When we were turned away with a brusque response from our local The Grouse and Ale in Lane End at 6pm (not one table was occupied and we only wanted a main course on the way home from a busy day at work) because they were due to be too busy later we decided to try The Yew Tree in Frieth. We were greeted with a completely different and refreshing attitude.They were busy already with a friendly buzz in the air and were due to be completely full by 715pm but the maitre d'/manager bent over backwards to accomodate us. We had an excellent meal, beautifully presented and tasty with attentive service, lots of smiles and a guaranteed return visit from us. We have not returned to The Grouse since!

Called in last month for lunch with a friend. The guy who was behind the bar greeted us with a very very friendly welcoming. We had a light lunch but both of them were delicious. Service was first class. Woll definitely return.

Turned away from one pub and suggested the Yew Tree. Best suggestion ever as the Sunday roasts (pork and lamb) were absolutely fantastic. The desserts were melt in the mouth - sticky toffee pudding 10 out of 10. Friendly staff and great service.

Joined our friends for an evening meal at this their local pub. Pub has recently reopened after a refurbishment. What a great meal. I started with the prawn and crawfish which was really nice and for desert had the crumble with ice cream and custard. Both were very good but the star was the main course special of the day a rib for two to share with all the trimmings. Good wine, staff and a lovely pub. Great evening.

I visited the Yew Tree with my family for dinner. I had the smoked salmon dish to start which was excellent and would highly recommend! For the main courses we had two sea bass which was again, delicious, the lamb rump, the lamb was tender, the vegetables flavoursome and the parsnip crisps were a delight and finally a serlion steak which was cooked beautifully!

Popped into the pub last Thursday evening. The staff we really pleasant and polite. We had the Duck, Orange and Cognac Parfait to start along with Deep fried Camembert from the specials menu and then two mouthwatering steaks cooked to perfection. A good wine list and range of local beers. Would highly recommend and will be back again very soon.

I took my daughter and son in law for a roast but could only eat at 3.00pm as they were booked up. We waited 45 minutes and were so famished we could have eaten the table leg! A sharing rack of lamb was chosen and one roast beef.

Visited on bank holiday Monday, greeting and service was friendly. Serving staff well informed of what menu items included. Very good choice of menu items for differing food requirement choices (vegan, vegetarian and gf). All food beautifully cooked (I had the tuna, which was just right - pink and very tender) and presented, and good value. First visit, and will hopefully have the opportunity to go again.

This place is the best of the best. We visited for our first time and have returned many times. The food is top rate, salmon, parfait, Prawn starters. Main course of beautiful steaks, Sunday roast dinner, and much more. Slight downside is the food is quite expensive but you pay for the atmosphere. A lovely garden setting with wood fire inside for the winter. Carl who runs the place is so friendly & makes you feel special every visit. You must visit this pub, but remember to book on a hot sunny day.

Over the last few weeks we have enjoyed really high quality food, excellent and friendly service, an amazing choice of wine and the 'cleanest' beer in the area. We have had a family birthday in the private room, drinks and suppers with friends and an anniversary celebration for 2 in the garden and every event has been exceptional. It's a lovely mix of local faces - both adults and children and visitors to the area too and everyone is made to feel welcome by Carl and his team. The menu changes with the seasons and the quality of the ingredients is apparent from the taste and presentation. We would definitely recommend a visit!

Cannot fault this lovely, charming pub which never fails to deliver! It has everything you need - tasty food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. Carl and his team always go out of their way to make you feel welcome and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. I'd highly recommend the roasts on a Sunday - the meat is excellent (I had the pork belly, hubby had the beef). A friend of ours had the sea bass which she loved (and she's a fussy eater!!). We'll be back as soon as possible!

Carl and team continue to impress with high quality dining, well kept beer and a friendly welcome. Steaks perfectly cooked, fresh fish and Sunday roasts best in the area.

Nice surroundings but food very poor quality. Do not have fish but meat not much better. Shame as look of place is very nice.

I count myself so lucky to have this absolute gem of a pub on my doorstep. A wonderful atmosphere complements the outstanding food which never fails to impress the many friends that I have taken there. Carl has done a magnificent job in creating a team who deliver both outstanding service and the warmest welcome on every occasion. Regardless of how busy, the team delivers to the highest standards without fail and Jess simply never stops smiling. Whether dining in the restaurant or the bar, drinking local beers or one of Carl's beautifully presented gins, The Yew Tree consistently delivers in every respect. Try the Sunday Roast sharing platter - it's awesome!

We have lunch regularly with our friends at eating places around Buckinghamshire and this pub more than exceeded our best expectations. The pub itself has so many nice touches including a bicycle outside and a nice interior ambience. We were welcomed positively and the nice touches were replicated inside. It is clearly a place that has pride and professionalism and cares about the service and quality of food it produces. The Manager epitomises this approach and the menu itself is interesting and innovative. As an example the soup of the day was fennel and courgette and the catch of the day was red snapper served with butter bean mash. The cheese came with home-made biscuits and all the food which was served was presented in an appealing way, that the chef had clearly thought about. In short it was a venue that punched way above its weight and where one had a meal that hugely exceeded ordinary pub grub ie where the food is just thrown on a plate and the staff don't have pride in what they are doing.

We were staying nearby and chose the Yew Tree based on TripAdvisor reviews. Whilst the food was nice, it wasn't amazing, hence the 4 not 5. Very friendly manager though who sorted a taxi for us and for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Popped in on our way through the village to get a glass of wine. Never been before but what a stunning pub! It’s immaculate inside and very smartly decorated. It looks like it may have had a recent refurbishment- it was spotless. A small group of locals were watching rugby in the bar so we settled in by the stunning open fire.
