  “We’ve been visiting The Grand Junction for years now, and it’s somewhere we always enjoy returning to! The food has consistently been lovely, whether we’re eating in the restaurant or the bar area, and the service has always been excellent. The staff are genuinely warm, friendly and accommodating, and over the years have always been happy to cater to dietary requirements, including during my pregnancies. They’ve also made several birthday celebrations feel extra special with thoughtful birthday desserts, which has always been such a lovely touch. It’s a great place for families too, with highchairs and a children’s menu available. The toilets have always been clean and well maintained during our visits, with accessible toilet facilities and baby changing facilities available too. We also really appreciate that it’s dog friendly in the pub area, meaning we’ve been able to enjoy meals with friends and family who bring their dogs along. There’s a lovely outdoor seating area too, which is particularly nice when the weather is good. What really stands out to us is how consistently welcoming the whole experience has been over the years. Good food, lovely staff and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Whether it’s a family meal, a birthday celebration or simply popping in for something to eat, we’ve always had a positive experience. Would happily recommend The Grand Junction and look forward to many more visits!”

  “Me and my husband came here with family to celebrate 🍾 our wedding and the service and food was impeccable to say the least… and second time we went just us 2 and again impeccable service and food… beautiful place and friendly staff too. It’s canny pricey but worth it in the end with freshly made food and all around great service.”

  “I really did not enjoy the food here. The Cesar salad had packet croutons, which were tough, big crumbling and it had anchovies in it - yuk! I had the apple and cinnamon pie for dessert and they must have heated it in a microwave since the pastry was soft, not crispy at all. Surely a proper kitchen has better way of reheating pastry so it stays crispy?!”

  “I have been to the Grand Junction twice with my wife and while the service was great both times and the atmosphere is really good, the overall experience is just let down by the food. On our last visit, the restaurant was very quiet so this can't be blamed on it being busy. My meal was undercooked and bland and the sauce may as well as have been coloured water. The layout and ambience says fine dining but the food is barely a step above just acceptable pub food. Will do in a pinch but I would avoid if you're expecting anything other than just filling a hole.”

  “I attended this pub for a family member's leaving party before they travel around the world. It is a really nice, quite large venue with a great layout. They have the main pub on one side, an outdoor area, and a separate, smaller private function room/hut area on the other side, which worked perfectly for our private party.The Food:The pizzas provided as part of the private party menu were very nice! They were just a little bit too spicy for my personal taste, but still good quality.The Drinks:This was the main downside for me. The cocktails were far too watery and contained way too much ice. I was drinking them all night and didn't feel anything at all. On the positive side, the drinks are reasonably priced.Service:Most of the staff were very good, but one staff member in particular kept coming around and clearing away drinks prematurely. They shouldn't be snatching glasses away just because people aren't holding onto them. They even took my cousin's drink when it was still three-quarters full! We had to argue our case to get it replaced.Overall, it's a nice place with a great setup for events, but the drink quality and over-eager glass clearing definitely need improvement.”

  “Second time coming here. Had a table booked and this time had 3 courses, wine and cocktails and every single item on all parties plates were absolute heaven. Couldn't recommend a better restaurant and finally an establishment with proper continental style table service rather than ordering at the bar like a school cafeteria which I find a horrid UK tradition. This was an absolute pleasurable evening for all my guests and we vow this to be our new regular dine in! Very clean, very beautiful, and the staff and service was friendly and efficient.”

  “We popped in on our way back from silverstone, i was much earlier than my booking but they were still able to accommodate us, we had a lovely window seat table and everyone was so friendly and the food was lovely. I preferred a pizza which started fantastic, I finished all of it! The decor and ambience is really lovely and the restrooms were so nice and clean. It seems like a great place to come with family and friends.”

  “My first visit to the Grand Junction what a great restaurant, really impressed. Service was very good, they cater for Coeliac’s so enough gluten free food options. I went for the fillet steak, it was overcooked slightly, but I can’t be overly critical, I really enjoyed the meal with friends. I would recommend the grand junction, I am sure you’ll enjoy it.”

  “Went there on Saturday lunchtime. It was not very busy. Service was good. Food was good. We ask for a few extra on our dishes and it was no issues. I had the mussels that were delicious. My partner has a specials pizza. The pizza was good but at little wet bottom. My son had the kids meals which is great value and a build your own approach which is great with a fussy eater. Lovely atmosphere.”

  “I recently had lunch at The Grand Junction on Buckingham High Street, and it was a fantastic experience! I was surprised to find such a lovely restaurant in this small town. The restaurant has a charming vibe with an elegant atmosphere. Whether you prefer outdoor or indoor seating, there's plenty of space to enjoy your meal comfortably. There are also regular events organised at the restaurant such as brunches and quizzes. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and quick, which really enhanced our visit. We were also impressed by the wide variety of drinks available, especially the expertly crafted cocktails. I had the butternut squash soup from their lunch menu, which was absolutely delicious. My partner ordered the Porchetta, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We also decided to try their offer of three small plates, and while they were tasty, I found the abundance of fresh red chillies on each dish a bit overwhelming. That said, the cauliflower was a standout—simply excellent. Overall, The Grand Junction is a must-visit - the quality of the food and the overall experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this place for a great meal in a lovely setting!”
