Beware Unfair £200 Cancellation Charges and Shifting Rules…read more I booked a table for 4 at The Artichoke and had to cancel with 30 hours' notice due to illness in our party. Despite giving more than a day's notice and trying to negotiate in good faith, I was immediately charged £200. The restaurant first insisted the charge was non-refundable under their terms. After much persistence, they offered to reduce it to £100 if my partner and I still dined. Then they said the £200 could be used as credit towards a future meal for two -- only to later email me stating it could only be redeemed against another table for four. This inconsistent and heavy-handed approach left me with no confidence in their integrity. I cancelled outright -- with no intention of ever returning. For a restaurant that trades on reputation, I was shocked at how rigid and unhelpful they were. If you're considering booking here, be aware: fall ill, cancel, or try to reason with them, and you may find yourself £200 out of pocket and treated without flexibility or fairness.

Food and service are good, especially the guy serve the wine. The only place we were not satisfied was the very noisy party upstairs, more like a bar instead of a Michelin star restaurant. The chicken is a little bit salty. Other than that, we were happy and enjoyed the dinner, especially the Chardonnay from England.

Good value overall, with Sunday Roast having excellent flavour. Both the beef and pork were quite tasty, with the potatoes and veg being particular stars of the plate. Nice starter with avocado and feta, and a pleasing cheese plate for pudding. Highly recommended for a filing meal should you find yourself in Amersham for a weekend holiday.

I had the pork belly with all the trimmings. Again absolutely perfect, with the best pork crackling in the world. Staff are friendly and I enjoyed the service. Nice vibe, smart but not overly formal. A stand out meal for me and I will come back if I get the chance. Check out my pics, it tasted as good as it looked.

This is my second time dropping in for a meal with no reservation. Despite arriving 10 minutes…read morebefore the kitchen opens and a restaurant which is absolutely empty I'm told that they are full and I can't be accommodated with a table. This is mildly annoying given the above, but I'm told by a very charming bar tender that they will serve the full menu in the pub side. This is good news. Where as the restaurant appears sterile, the pub side has a bit more charm. I order the salmon accompanied by a salsa of gin & tonic celery and capers and order a side of greens. The salmon is cooked to PERFECTION and the celery/caper salsa is a revelation. A tad sweet, very fresh, with a satisfying crunch and a tart and salty finish. I'm extremely impressed by the greens, which are a melange of brocoli rabe and green beans which still are croquant and have a wholesome spring garden taste. On the whole Hawkyns is supercilious, but the food IS excellent.

Lemon Grass is a small, intimate Indian restaurant. They do not have a license to sell alcohol, but…read moreyou can bring your own (there's a Bargain Booze opposite) and they don't charge corkage. The food is reliably excellent, and a good price. They serve a wide range of dishes to suit most tastes, and a few more adventurous ones if you're feeling frisky! If you like Indian food, then I'd say you can order pretty much anything on the menu and guaratee that you'll be happy with it. The Juliette Roman is gorgeous, but huge so you might want share that one with a friend! It's worth booking a table if you're going at the weekend or if you have a large party, because there is limited space inside. No parking, but it is very close to the on street parking in the twn, so that shouldn't put you off at all. It is well within stumbling distance of the train station and Taxi rank if you're not going to be driving home. The waiters are brilliant, very chatty, friendly and aware. Despite not serving drinks, they do seem to notice when you need a bottle opener or a clean glass and provide it for you before you realise you want it!
