  “Visited this gem of a place for the first time tonight with friends. All four of us were so very impressed with everything about it. We arrived at 6 p.m. and the pub side and outdoors were busy and lively. Indoors the dining area was pleasantly cool and cosy with tasteful decor and just a lovely ambience. Nothing pretentious here. The staff were all welcoming and accommodating and the food just sublime. The menu had four choices per course and our choices surpassed expectations. We will definitely return and would heartily recommend The Five Elms.”

  “Fab lunch with excellent food and really good service. Our group included two vegans, one gluten-free guest, and two young children, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating who made sure everyone felt genuinely welcome and well catered for. The food was really tasty and well presented and there was a good selection of dishes to choose from for everyone – we’ll definitely be back.”

  “What an absolute gem of a place. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. The staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly, the food was amazing and a lovely bottle of wine and atmosphere to go with it. By far the best place we have eaten in the local area. Just as good quality as the fancy pubs/restaurants in the Cotswolds or London, but much kinder of the purse strings! Will definitely be returning.”

  “I very rarely write reviews but felt compelled to leave one for the Five Elms. I went for lunch with my girlfriend yesterday and we were blown away by how friendly the staff and the atmosphere was. We were served some of the best food we have ever had - ingredient quality and flavours you quite simply do not get in many places these days (the menu creativity with local produce and the depth of flavours in every single dish was out of this world), and we just felt very welcome and had a wonderful experience. Not to mention, the value for money with the set lunch menu considering the quality of the food was excellent. Definitely going to visit again soon with my family!”

  “Sometimes you find a place that is so astonishing and otherworldly that you want to keep it to yourself; especially when it’s such good value. Selfishly, of course, because you don’t want it to become so frequented that the prices go up. That is, however, completely unfair to the fabulous team that have taken over this pub and turned it into what seems like both a focal hub of the village and a really fabulous dining experience. We have Waze to thank for ending up here as it serendipitously rerouted us on our trip from Luton to Aylesbury. The road between Aston Abbotts and Weedon includes the most astonishing drive across the plateau and down a hillside and finally to Weedon itself, unsurprisingly at one point clearly the most beautiful village in Buckinghamshire. We came for lunch, at 1:30 on a Friday and we were the only people in the dining room. You’ll see from the pictures the menu that we were offered and you can guess yourself which dish is which. We’d imagined that we were coming to one of a number of nice country pups that offer food, but this was a completely different experience – my wife said that she heard one of the locals saying that the chef had been on MasterChef; and it shows – I wouldn’t have been surprised to have paid twice what we did had we been in London. I really can’t praise the food, service and ambience enough. The menu changes monthly and I wonder whether we’ll be back more than 12 times in the coming year. You might think that a 40 minute drive for lunch is excessive; I beg to differ when the food is of such quality.”

  “A charming pub, with great service, and excellent food. Venison starter was delightful, and the beef was a fantastic main, nicely cooked with a very flavourful carrot purée. Kids enjoyed their garlic doughballs starter and pasta or chicken goujons. Good value for money and would plan to be back!”

  “Sunday lunch was superb This is a “must do” restaurant !! The meats were so succulent and tender - we tried pork loin and beef Both amazing! The beef was soft and pink and the veg selection was lovely too - very generous portions of meat and fabulous gravy! Perfect starters and desserts and the wine complimented the meal very well. An espresso martini finished it all off perfectly Andrew is a wonderful host and we will definitely be back soon! Thank you 😊”
