The best restaurants in Stoke Poges South Bucks South East

My husband I visited Humphrey’s for our anniversary. The menu for vegetarian was so disappointing. The items on the menu were a mismatch , there was no specific cuisine type. I ordered the pea and mint soup as a starter. I had to ask for Salt and pepper as there was no seasoning . I couldn’t taste the mint and the soup was gritty. It was not smooth. Perhaps it was not meant to be, but seasoning should of been there. When the waitress asked how it was, I was honest and said it was not great . Her response “ ok” ! My main was chosen from their main menu, rather than the vegetarian menu ( as it was not enticing) I chose the mushroom risotto. The waiter told me that they can make the risotto vegetarian friendly (without Parmesan) . The dish arrived and Again no seasoning. I thought it was me being pickey, so I asked my husband to try abs he agreed , it was flavourless. I asked the waiter if they can add seasoning. He told me that due to no Parmesan the taste will be pretty much the same. You think being a fine dining restaurant they would have vegetarian alternatives to parmigiana cheese ( even I have in my fridge ). I then asked not to bother to remake with seasoning and thought maybe something from the vegetarian/ vegan menu will be better. I chose the spaghetti in tomato sauce. I was better of not ordering it and eating the bread. It was something a child would eat. If an Italian came To eat this , they would be appalled. I ate 1/4, out of politeness. I didn’t say anything, as at this point I just wanted to hurry up and leave. Final course chocolate fondant ... finally something that was great. I wish I had just gone straight to the dessert . When the bill came, I couldn’t believe that my tasteless meal cost £68. How can spaghetti in some tomato sauce cost £22. I have had some amazing simple pasta in fine dining Michelin star restaurant and willing to pay high price. But this, as I said is something a child would get at school. Also my husbands food was great , crab, prawns to start and halibut for main. That I understand to £68, but for vegetarian it was ridiculous. Even in Michelin star restaurant, the set menus or tasting veg menu is a little cheaper , so this place is just taking advantage. Vegetarian/ vegan food has come a long way and many chefs have learnt the art to take a vegetable and turn it into a incredible meal. This place has clearly not adopted this and think serving some spaghetti in tomato sauce with no seasoning is fine dining! Even other items on the veg menu didn’t look great. If you are vegetarian/vegan, do not eat here. Plus side, deserts were great and main menu was good ( according to my husband)

Renato who served us was so wonderful, was lovely to chat to and helped with all of our requests. The food was delicious, especially the Tom yum soup, I’d come back just for that. Definitely a lovely place to come to for a nice evening.

One of our favourite breakfast spots. We are frequent visitors for Saturday morning breakfast, and are never disappointed. Friendly, efficient staff, and delicious, reasonably priced food. Would definitely recommend

I am Coeliac , it would be nice to see some Gluten Free items in Costa Coffee!

I had lunch here with three others. A bright clean dining room with a wide selection of food on the menu. I had the potato pancake with goulash. A generous portion, which left me wondering if they managed to sell many deserts. All four of us had main courses with a number of sides dishes such as cabbage and beetroot. Four coffees after dinner and the bill was less than £35. Great food and great value.

Catch up with friends, and really happy here. Always lovely food and our waiters were welcoming and friendly.

Thank you Eĺla for fitting us in at short notice had a lovely birthday get together Lovely food great service could not ask for any more, this pub is amazing

We had a lovely lunch here this week, celebrating a very special birthday - a 93rd! The staff were very kind and attentive but not intrusive. Thank you to them for turning the music down when asked, not something that is always done even if you especially request it. The food was delicious and a great time was had by us all. A small warning the rich chocolate brownie is only for serious chocoholics! 2 in our party thought they were but found it almost (!) too much even for them. Clean plates all round! The candle in the birthday "girl's" pavlova was much appreciated. :) Thank you we will be back.

Lovely little pub, landlady always friendly and always chatty to everyone. The best atmosphere and always smells lush!

I visited late afternoon, not wishing to go home and cook a meal. I initially ordered a drink and decided to browse the food menu. There was a good selection of items, so I decided to order a "Dirty Burger". I ordered it in a specific way and was pleased to note my requests were fully accommodated. As the pub became busier, service became slower. It took a while to receive my bill. The restuarant was very clean, but there was no soap available in the toilet. Don't forget to enter your car registration on a screen as you enter, to avoid a penalty charge (I saw the notice and did so).

There was no atmosphere in there, the decor was in poor condition with wobbly tables and dirty upholstery. In fact the restaurant area could do with a thorough clean. Loos are also in poor condition. When we arrived the waiting staff just waved in the direction of a few tables and told us to sit anywhere. Waited too long for drinks, which were simple enough and surprisingly expensive (£5 for a glass of OJ). Also waited for over 40 minutes for our meals to arrive: My mash was cold My father in law couldn’t eat the stodgy lump that was supposed to be stuffing, nor his peas that were like bullets Mother in laws chicken was rather dry. We weren’t offered any condiments nor did any staff member ask if our meals were ok or if we wanted anymore drinks (which would have a been a ‘yes’) We decided against any desserts and we didn’t think it would have been served before closing time! All in all, a disappointing experience and we’re unlikely to return
