  “Overpriced, sub-par, stingey. I had to ask for my drink 4 times before it was served. The samosa starter was nice, but seemed randomly placed next to a roast. The beetroot roast only came with 1 potato, and lacked the stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, and cauliflower cheese that were supposed to be "included". The "3 scoop" ice cream only came with one scoop. The food, while pleasant enough, just lacked the gastro pub taste that one would expect at these prices. Will never be coming back. Disappointed with my meal.”

  “AVOID! On paper this should be a great pub for families with young children - 2 play areas which in their prime I’m sure would have been great but to say they are tired would be generous, they are boarding dilapidated and dangerous! Hand rails on ladders up to swings falling off, broken swings, broken cargo netting, rotten and broken decking, questionable lean on wooden structures, bird poo on slides. The food was reasonable value but the quality nothing to write home about. The pub is set in some lovely surroundings and has a lot of potential but desperately needs major investment.”

  “We have just had a lovely meal at the Gate Sarah was very welcoming and did extremely well serving everyone considering she was the only person behind the bar, there were some people complaining but I didn’t see an issue with anything Sarah delt with it very well! We will definitely be back!”

  “AVOID! Just had lunch at The Gate. Service was poor. They had had a power cut sometime in the past 24hrs so not all the pumps were working and/or the beer wasn't cold. Consequently 6 out of 8 desserts on the adult menu and 4 put of 5 on the kids menu come with ice cream or are a sorbet and so weren't available. They only told us about all of this AFTER we had finished our main course, (which took 45 min to arrive), rather than when we walked in which was pretty cynical of them.”

  “A pleasant village pub with a good range of food available, some with a South Asian twist, which befiited the proprieters. My partner had a BLT for which they did not skimp on the ingredients and I had chicken pakoras and whitebait from the starter members. We sat out in the garden which had nice relaxing relaxing view of the Chiltern Hills. The interior is cosy. There is a good play area for children and dogs are welcome. So why only four stars - the young man serving our drinks, taking our food order and serving some of our food did not seem happy in his work. An older man possibly, the manager was friendly, checked on our meal and ensured the area was clean and tidy. We would visit again if in the area.”

  “A great country pub. The location is lovely in a small village nestled between fields and woods. The pub garden is great with plenty of space and very will kept. A great selection of food, the veg samosas were a lovely accompaniment to a pimms. Highly recommended.”

  “Superb Sunday Roast at 6pm. Rare finding a late serving roast. They'd run out of lamb so kindly did the trio with chicken. So many tasty veg, a piece of crackling and a yorkshire. Probably the best I've had. Full to the brim.”

  “It was the final stop for our C&F Harley Ride for lunch. The pub is a lovely place with great atmosphere. The Sunday roast was delicious. The staff were wonderful, and dealt with all 52 of us riders very efficiently.”

  “This rural pub comes across as most rural pubs do, but did feel slightly worse in various respects. Claiming to have WiFi and even displaying a password when none of us could even detect the network, let alone connect to it, want appreciated. Even when not very busy, it felt rather understaffed. The food tasted good enough, but the vegetables were odd and the gravy weirdly gloopy. There is a sizeable outdoor area, but the children's slides looked sufficiently dodgy that it's none of the numerous children there at the time were anywhere near them.”
