    Great food and even offer a full gluten free menu. Only problem is the service is very slow.

    Ample seating. Great atmosphere vibe music decor. Everything good. Super enjoyable place…read more Also, would like to review the Hotel Overall, the Hotel experience was OK Certainly it is a higher level than a regular three star. However, I did have a couple of issues with the room to begin with the heating was very limited The water in the shower was extremely hard they could really use a softening system for the water It makes it painful to take a shower because of the hardness of the water The hotel room was very comfortable. I slept well and everything was very nice and clean inside the room.

    The pub itself is lovely! The decor, the layout, the quirky village feel, the exposed beams! Love…read moreit. I went here on the 28th December, so they were busy to be fair. The wait to get a drink took quite sometime to get served, although when we did the barman was very friendly and smiley. We went to our table and all the decorations and ambiance was really quite lovely. Our starters all came out quite quickly and were tasty. They have soup of the day for starters, a good sharing selection and other starters. All were yummy. We then waited quite some time for the main. They came out and the fish and chips x2, were a success, and the dirty burger had lots of delicious fillings in, the wagyu burger was a tad tough, but very tasty. Fries with the burgers a bit overcooked. We didn't get table service whilst eating so had to pop to the bar for more drinks. Very nearly a 4. But the waiting was a bit annoying. Will 100% go back and eat there again though. Decent amount of parking. Clean.

    (Visited late March 2011, about 14:30 on a Monday) This…read morerestuarrant is a confused mish-mash of ideas. The Village Gate is a disappointing mix of irritating, high priced pretentiousness and scruffy service, standards and decor. An impressive initial impression from a great looking building gives way before even getting through the door. The way cracked step tiles and a broken bannister clash with obviously pretentious signage indicate what to expect inside. After waiting at the bar from which the staff had wandered off to do something more important than serve customers, a look around revealed a fairly cool looking bar hampered by random tat that looks like it's been dragged out of someone's loft to gather dust. The dining room which is laid out like an old ladies' living room contrasted completely with the bar. Thankfully, the lady who served us was polite and friendly, but the food is massively over-priced compared to the likes of the excellent Saracen's Head in beaconsfield or the much further afield Black Stallion in Bedford. the difference in these two places is the professional, clean, competent and inviting vibe, whileThe Village Gate sports scruffy staff ambling around aimlessly. At one, point, the people who were vaguely identifiable as staff wandered away from the bar at which customers have to go to order their food (An obvious no-no when the food prices are so high and the menu pretends to be sophisticated). Following this, some scratty guy in a grubby T-shirt jumped behind the bar and served customers without identifying himself. A dozen other niggles present themselves. The music is a wierd mix of Jazz, 30's swing, rap and anything else you can think of. The decor in the bar's dining area consists of animals that could be the food you're eating, looking happily at you while you dine. The one coherent, impressive looking section of the entire place is the corridor to the toilets, which features posters of classical literature artwork, far more striking and sophisticated than the tacky rubbish that's been hap-hazardly scattered around everywhere else. The food itself is way too expensive. My steak was presented with a large portion of some unidentifiable greens just dumped on the side of the plate. The meat was great, but blatently overcooked. The waitress agreed, but didn't have the feintest idea of how to rectify the problem. Again, in the confused, jumbled, higgldy-piggldy environement, no-one seemed to be responsible or in charge of anything. Professional, competent restaurants don't need to hide obvious short-comings with pretentiousness. If you like the pubby atmosphere, but don't want to pay higher-than-London prices, try The Harrow. If you like something classier and formal, take the trip to The Saracen's Head in Beaconsfield. I can't imagine The Village Gate lasting long unless the pub either lowers prices to match the matey, unprofessional service, or grow up and deliver an experience to match the prices. Almost as bad as The Slug and Lettuce in Aylesbury, I find it impossible to reccommend The Village Gate.

    What a fantastic pub! We've been going to The Village Gate since it opened last year, and have…read morenever been disappointed. The staff are brilliant - really relaxed, attentive and friendly, and always smiling. The food is heavenly - nothing too complicated, not too expensive, but always fresh, hot and tasty. There are lots of different areas to sit in - from the formal restaurnat (check out the cool chandelier!) to the cosy bar, or one on the 3 lovely outside areas (the views of the Wendover Hills are fabulous). Nothing is ever too much trouble at The Village Gate, and that's why we keep on going back. Highly recommended.

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.
