This is a lovely, historic old 15th-century inn and coaching house which serves as the central pub for the local Chiltern Brewery. We last went there on our last visit in January 2025 (I'm really behind on doing reviews lately and am just trying to get in a few key older ones from the last few months) There are two parts, the Farmer's Bar, which is the main pub area and which includes outdoor seating in the lovely enclosed courtyard, and the historic, wood-paneled Great Hall. This last time, we ate in the Great Hall. Ambience is great, with lots of character and a pleasant, peaceful atmosphere. Food is outstanding. On Sunday, we always get the roast beef with veg and Yorkshire pudding, and it is always perfect, consistently one of the best we have ever had. The cask ale is outstanding, especially the 300's Old Ale and Beechwood Bitter. Service is always excellent.

I love this place! The drinks are mostly sourced from the Chiltern Brewery, and they are wonderful…read more Me and some friends attended the launch of 'Golden Ale' a few months back, it was a brilliant evening and it attracted quite a crowd, including a couple of local newspapers. The staff are always polite, smart dressed and great to have a chat too in the evening. I have yet to eat there, apart from the wonderful selection of crisps and nuts of course, but I have heard the food is excellent. My favorite feature of the pub has to be the courtyard area fully fitted with outdoor seating, tables and a sheltered walkway to the excellent toilets. Being isolated from the town centre, yet still incredibly close, it's amazing how quiet and relaxing it is to have a drink. When you're next near stop in and I promise you'll have a wonderful time.

Where do I begin ?..... We as a group of friends go out once…read morea month to have a Sunday Lunch in and around the Aylesbury area. It was my turn to choose the venue this week & after reading the reviews, booked us into The Bell. On arrival, after finding our table we sat in a tight corner next to the bar not really suitable for a table for 6 and waited for our server. We sat & we sat....after 15 minutes we were yet to order a drink let alone our meals. After 50 minutes our meals arrived and although the meals were ok in regards to taste, they were all only luke warm at best. We were offered the desert menu and all ordered the recommended one on the menu, I'm afraid it was bland and yet another disappointment. Our spoons were delivered by the server, all held by their heads in her hands. The pub itself is cosy and had a lovely log burner but I'm afraid the service and food were a real disappointment. The food has a real chance of being so much better if only served hot and accompanied by a much better service experience.
