The best restaurants in 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.

Absolutely no idea why people go here. Food quality is terrible. Rock hard chips and overcooked fish. Not that cheap either. Far superior fish and chips can be found just round the corner at Wendover Plaice. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Absolutely dreadful, went with my son for coffee and cake, have been several times previously with no issues, Today couldn’t have been more different, was told upon entering there would be a 10 minute wait, , They were averaging half capacity, two visable employees. We waited and waited and nothing, I could hear other customers asking where their food was so clearly we were not alone in waiting. Finally I gave up and requested a refund so we could go elsewhere, which we received with no issues, Shame I’m guessing poorly trained staff over whelmed , The work counter behind the till was a tip , food every where. Come on Esquires you can and have done better.

Avoid this place..tried to rip us off.charged my friend £20 for a baileys. Pint of cider & a pint of lager to which my friend asked whats the price of the beer & cider & the still wet behind the ears lad said £5 a pint so it's £10 for a baileys. He replied it's a double & we only asked for a single. I said why did you give my wife a double instead of a single cus she might be driving & thinking its a single & drinking it could put her over the limit. He unbelievably said " my brother told me to " & I said where's your brother? He said he didn't know. You couldn't make this up could you.. they obviously knew we weren't from the area & tried it on because there's no way it was a double baileys but charged for it..the locals wouldn't use this place if these prices were for them. I asked the guy at the bar in our hotel about it & he says him & his mate's go in & aren't charged that much. On the Saturday night we went to a nice pub up the road & the gaffer said it's happened before with tourists being over charged. So folks if you do go in the SNUG BAR be very careful of what your being charged. Plenty of better pubs than this close by anyway..

Not a particular fan of Sunday roasts especially those outside the home, but ate here last month for Mothers Day and was amazed! Food was excellent with crispy roast potatoes, excellent yorkshires and a large variety of veg. Last Sunday we had the opportunity to try the take home version. Items are separated with instructions to heat slowly and again the result was excellent. The pub itself is old and full of character. There is also a garden out the back with excellent views which we intend to visit this Summer. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

A really good spot for a great coffee. They also had local authors displaying books which was interesting.

Nam was like card board lamb madras was watery and did not taste right onion Barrie was scummy and no sauce

This cafe is great for coffee and the staff are Superbe. I was there on a morning where they had a short book reading by local authors which was interesting. Good atmosphere and great space.

Recommended by friends. FANTASTIC!! The restaurant is immaculate. We were greeted by a lovely lady, we chose our food (there is much to chose from & for the price per head?, amazing value!). The food chosen was beautiful, fresh, well presented. The mains were just as hot, beautiful flavours etc... Check this hidden gem out 👍

A great experience for friends and family. The food is always nice and so is the mood and feeling about the place. Nice and relaxed. We are usuals amd will keep going.

When you order a kebab meat, chips and cheese, there are three things you expect. These three things are meat, chips and cheese. When you only receive chips and cheese it is slightly underwhelming. I did very much enjoy the sauce with the cheese and chips. At the price of £9.50 i would have very much appreciated the doner meat as well

Nice food fast and delicious.price are reasonable.good size of portion.highly recommended.thanks you

Really good food worth travelling for. The staff were really nice left feeling full. Full family enjoyed this usually not burger fans usually but the build your own burger was

The food is ok and the coffee was again only ok but the service was diabolical. We ordered a sandwich and hot drinks and were told they would be brought to our table. Eventually the food arrived but we had to ask twice for the coffee. Also the system is not working as drinks ordered after ours were delivered earlier. The place wasn’t particularly busy but somehow the staff seemed rushed and disorganised The cafe is used by walkers so a dog drinking bowl and some biscuits would be nice.

Visited here whilst staying in Buckingham. Ordering was easy, food was quick and piping hot! Portion good size and good value for money.
