The best restaurants serving British food in Chiltern South East

We had a Travelzoo voucher for a 3-course meal. Booking was polite and friendly. Plus confirmation email (bonus as sometimes I forget)! Staff were very attentive, and all questions answered in a very courteous manner. Meal and drinks alike were superb. Would definitely go again.

Went to this bakers having had the Rye bread at a friend’s house for lunch and thought it very tasty and light in texture. Since then I have visited several times sampling Belgian Buns and Croissants not forgetting other types of bread. All products of a very good quality and well priced. Service provided by a young, friendly helpful members of staff. Quality exceeds what I have had previously at chain baker franchises.

Remarkable dishes being crafted here Really good seasonal menu - standout dish - everything- from the deep fried rice with miso and vegetables to the beef ragu - incredible standard- you will want to return after visiting Well curated wine list with plenty of choice Overall an amazing experience of fine dining without fuss

Good place to go out with friends to eat. Food was superb, beer was excellent. Pity it's 250 miles from home.

We've been going to masterchef for years,always good food and cheerful staff

I would like to have written a positive review but having both called and emailed to enquire if they have wheelchair access and an accessible toilet I have had no response and will book elsewhere. I can only assume that they do not or they do not want my custom. Very poor.

Cycled past many times looked v nice so decided to pop in for a drink 2 weeks ago. Barmaid v chatty good feel about the place lighting perfect candles on nice background music. You could tell the lady working cared about the business! After this visit we decided to go back last night for a meal. So different no smile or hello when walked in 2 team working just didn’t look happy actually looked like they had fallen out. Sat at table one of them brought menu then we chose a bottle of wine which was nice and came quick. We then sat there 15 mins before getting up and asking if we ordered at the bar or were they coming over.one if them came over and took the order, food came around 30 mins later. The food was ok but pies could have been bigger with more filling. After finishing nobody came and asked if we would like a dessert in the end I had to get up and ask for the bill. We then left feeling v disappointed all round. Such a nice first visit what happened why such a let down. With prices high and pub in a small village out of the way it needs to be good every time not every other for it to survive in this tough environment. Not sure if will come back again 🤔

I would not choose to spend my money here again. Food- below average, service-ok, management- non existent. We were asked to leave our table due to another booking (despite having our table booked in advance for the entire evening), very disappointing experience and won’t return again

great food and good service ,with friendly staff .

I was last here about 10 years ago. It was excellent then and it still is. I met up with a couple of ex workmates for a relaxed lunch. Moon and chicken burgers were very good. The welcome was very warm and relaxed. A busy place especially in the evening. Large car park and a lovely large beer garden for warmer weather visits.

It is closed, no longer a Pub, in process of trying to be a nursery. The locals are trying to stop this as it is one of the last oldest Pubs in the area. What a shame

Despite living in the area for many years and visiting the griffin for lunch and dinner, somehow, this was our first time trying the renowned roast and it was pretty great. We were a little concerned having booked a 4.30pm slot that maybe the roast wouldn’t be at its best but we had nothing to worry about. We had the sourdough with dill and jalapeño butter then venison croquettes and fish cake before the main event - the beef ribeye with scrumpet roast. Nicely accompanied by cabbage, carrots, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding, extra crispy roast potatoes and gravy. We really loved the way the veg was presented on a sharing board. We spent so much time sampling all the veg and saying how wonderful it was that we realised we hadn’t even tucked into the beef yet. Every element of the roast was great, they brought us extra gravy upfront and we couldn’t finish all our potatoes or cauliflower cheese it was that filling. Often roast dinners are quite standard in their execution but the Griffin isn’t that by any stretch of the imagination. My only wish was that we had more beef per serving. The staff were lovely here too and asked our thoughts on the dill and jalapeño butter as the chef was keen to take feedback on it which is an added nice touch, making diners feel genuinely included in a local establishment. We will definitely be coming back and trying the pork and chicken roast next!

What a lovely place to have lunch! A gem of a village deli offering delicious food, good value for money, great service and a friendly and welcoming vibe. The selection of goodies on offer made us feel spoilt for choice and we weren't disappointed either. The ambience was relaxed and chilled out and we felt really comfortable while we heartily enjoyed our lunch. The staff were very attentive and helpful and we would definitely come back...maybe next time for brunch or dinner! Would certainly recommend!

Superb service, lovely atmosphere with no distracting background music, just as it should be, lovely food, current 2 courses for £18.50 is great value. looking forward to returning with our car club in March.

Absolutely amazing hospitality, so welcoming and warm welcome. Landlady went out of her way to make my unwell mother in law comfortable. Food was amazing, fresh and tasty excellent portions , dessert was immense. Toilets and toiletries were lovely and clean Lots of little extras we were given and a great customer experience. X
