The best restaurants serving British food in Amersham Town 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.

I took a friend today who was blown away by the quality of the food, he has eaten in top restaurants all around the world and couldn’t be more complimentary about this Bistro. The service, ambience and food were extraordinary. I’ll be back

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.

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!

Delicious carrot cake. Unfortunately & bizarrely on multiple occasions, the food order has been completely forgotten about!

All was well for us two in very quiet very old pub in characterful/charming old town. Food was tasty good and we were bit surprised there were only two other customers at lunchtime. Young men at bar were pleasant and there was a roaring fire in the grate on a chilly dreary day outside. Lots of very old ceiling beams and columns which unfortunately had been painted over . Looked it might be a better place to be in spring and summer as there's also a biggish garden at the rear. Worth revisiting?

The calamari and chicken Caesar salad are both amazing with a side of zucchini fries. The atmosphere and service is brilliant aswell. I would highly highly recommend

Quite possibly the worst sandwiches we have ever had! No care taken what so ever to make them. Ridiculous amount of butter and slabs of cheap ham. Ham salad was just salad cream! Awful

Where do I start….. food was 20minutes early and cold. We informed the restaurant to leave food at the back of our home yet the delivery driver continued to bang on our front door until, I believe, he actually read the note and left the food at the back. Meat in the starter was undercooked, naan was undercooked, potatoes were over cooked and the chicken was undercooked and not fresh (had a greyish look about them). All our food was inedible, resulting in organising a dinner before the football! We’ll be applying for a full refund!! First time we have ordered here and it was the worst Indian take out we’ve had. Never ordering here again!
