The best restaurants in Aston Clinton Aylesbury Vale South East

I had not been in the Bell since a Black tie New Year’s Eve party in 1970, when it boasted the finest wine cellar in Europe, owned by Gerard Manley Harris. Today’s Bell is somewhat tired by comparison, but the fire in the lounge was welcoming. This was an overnight stay to attend a 100th birthday party four miles away. The bedroom was fine, well appointed and an excellent shower. At breakfast I ordered Eggs Royale, which came with ham and not salmon, but I was in a rush, so I did nothing about it.

I was looking forward to a nice Sunday roast lunch out. If your looking for warm white wine, cold dinner, cremated roast potatoes and burn’t Yorkshire's than this is the place to go. When asked at the end of the lunch if everything was ok we complained about the food and we’re then presented with £100 bill with £3.60 discount. Insulted wasn’t the word. I’m not one to worry about what the bill is usually, but the way the manager/owner Mateo dealt with it was disgusting and I’m surprised he is in business at all. Pubs are going out of business everyday and we try to support our locals whenever we can. As a businessman myself customer service is key. I never give bad reviews usually and am not one to complain but this has really wound me up. It’s just unacceptable the way they dealt with our complaint. I won’t be going back and wouldn’t recommend it to others.

1st visit here for breakfast. Service very slow. Waitress didn't look very happy but pleasant. Had scrambled eggs, made in a microwave with no seasoning at all, very bland. Husband had full English which he said was ok but beans looked very dry. Toast cold on both plates. Toilets disgusting, smelly and dirty. Won't be coming back.

Ordered takeaway. Chicken was undercooked pink inside. I ate some then had to throw rest away. I've since got stomach pains and dioherra. Do not recommend.
