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)

Have been here for the Sunday lunch and bottomless wine with friends and family on several occasions. It remains a firm favourite! Fantastic value for money, great setting and staff and the food is always of a really high standard, especially the roast beef. The house wines are excellent most notable the red but the white is also good and the staff are brilliant for providing alternatives for non-wine drinkers. I often finish with the cheese board as it is always superb!

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 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.

Highly recommend this place. This is one of the best I have visited. The staff are friendly and helpful. We went here an hour before closing time. It was so nice to be served with our coffee in proper cups and have it brought to our table. Other branches could learn from this. The cafe is clean and tidy. The toilets are very clean and modern. It was really nice to not have to put a code in to use the facilities. Other stores could learn from this. There are disabled facilities. On this occasion we did not have food, but would definitely if we had been hungry.

Good selection of beers and the food choices are good the menu at lunchtime is certainly restricted however four or five selections for each section should please most palettes

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.
