I take Sunday lunch very seriously when we're in the UK. If a pub says it serves "Traditional…read moreSunday Lunch," I expect it to be served by a balding landlord, huffing up the stairs from the too-small kitchen while arguing loudly with his once-attractive but now tragically large-busted and over-made-up wife (called Barbara), while muttering insults under his wheezing breath. Too specific, y'think? Probably, but that's my expectation and, damn it, I'm the customer! Which brings us to The Ivy House, a great pub stuck on a hillocks to the side of the Amersham Road. We visited with a quite-large party, in the latter hours of what is generally considered lunchtime. It was to be our last big meal before flying home, and I had taste buds that needed to be sated for about another year. The place delivered mightily. Pleasingly for our diverse crew, it had a great selection of meals for traditionalists, kids, and vegetarians. Service was swift and friendly absent the balding landlord and trollopy wife in my imagination but full of an efficient waiter who couldn't have been more helpful. The roast beef was good but, as the last of the day, it was a little dry and gristly. The rhubarb and ginger crumble with custard was lovely, though perhaps a tad too sweet for some. All five of the kids with us thoroughly enjoyed their meals, too, so the whole party was completely happy. The ale I had was the icing on the cake (not literally), though it's name now escapes me. The Ivy House is an excellent spot for a great Sunday lunch. They had signs in the pub, asking for patrons to support an effort to stop a new train track being laid across the fields right in front of the pub. I surely hope they succeed in this effort. The pub's in a very serene spot. If we're ever in the area again, we'll be back.

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.

I had an excellent micro-brew, as well as a well made burger with chips. The meal was prepared with care and was excellent. The service is low key (one orders at the bar, but the meals is delivered to the table), however the staff was super friendly and warm. Suffice to say, my decision to return the following evening was evidence of a good first impression. My repeat visit did not disappoint. If you're a burger snob, I wouldn't say that we're talking better than JG Mellon, or Carnegie Deli, but that would miss the point. This is a sweet unpretentious local spot that is doing their thing with care.

Spoilt my Sunday! My…read morepartner and I popped in here for a late Sunday breakfast feeling upbeat and happy. We left annoyed, angry and frankly it upset us. Why? Well because of rude and insolent service from a young lady on the till. Talk about nasty - she really should be awarded a gold medal for it. We ordered 2 breakfasts - mine was the carnivore option minus the eggs and beans, but I asked for some black pudding. "That'll be an extra 50p for the black pudding anyway" snapped back the young lady. Oh well, rules are rules I thought - I just want a breakfast. My partner opted for the vegetarian breakfast. Both breakfasts included toast. Mine also included a 'sausage patty' (this never arrived). Toast - well, in my experience this is usually delivered with butter. It didn't. I queried this with the charming young lady and she said "technically it doesn't come with butter". My response was "what - dry toast?" - answer : "did you actually ASK for butter?" Do you WANT butter?" Following my affirmative reply she turned heel and stomped off while my partner approached a far more amenable member of staff and secured some butter. When the charming young lady returned and I said we'd sorted the problem she rolled her eyes and again stomped off. So 20 quid for a mediocre breakfast but with free nastiness thrown in. Don't go here.

I'm not exactly sure if the Thai Restaurant and Pub are the same establishment but the setup is quite nice. I was forced to drink "real" English beer LOL. I hardly ever pay attention to alcohol. It's food that gets my attention. Our table shared the dumplings and vegetable tempura to start. I had the Pad kee mow with chicken.... I'm pretty sure that's how it's spelled. My dish was good, but after trying the BBQ duck I wish I had ordered that instead. This duck has so much flavor. It's amazing!!! I did notice that they don't ask for spice level when taking orders, like they do in the states. I grew up on Thai food and I'm definitely a fan.
