Where do I begin ?.....
We as a group of friends go out once a 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. read more
