Eight Bells

Come down for the weekend break away. Found this pub on Google map. Prefect local from where we are staying. Lovely little gem. Quarter finals world cup football was on, arrived before kick off. Notice on there website offering free pizza for all customers if England win and they did! BOUNS! Tho we did order food which was lovely. However, never got any pizza and felt we we left out. Could be cos we were not locals. Ask about it they said we had it all on the bar. But weren't told. Tho a group in front of us were given pizza's and few were give to in the garden. Some staff were polite some were not. Slight let down on a prefect afternoon!

This 16th century pub is the perfect visit for a pint when in Long Crendon. Babs is a superstar host and the venue is warm and welcoming. The ales are kept well and in good condition. The village itself is lovely and the pub is a 'must visit' establishment.

This 17th century inn was originally called the five bells untill the church added 3 more bells in the tower so changed its name to its current 8 bells in 1771. Entrance to the front of the pub is a challenge for the less able but you can access the pub and carpark from chearsley road. Where there are just 2 smaller steps down to the bar inside the pub. We received a warm welcome and ordered the scampi and fish and chips from the comprehensive menu. They did give an option for half portions which was a nice touch as you don't always want a large meal in the middle of the day. Needless to say we went for the full portions! When the food first arrived I thought the scampi portion was a little on the small size imo however everything was well cooked including the chips which where nice and crisp. Peas also tasted nice and fresh and not over cooked. See pic The person I was with had the fish and chips, a decent portion which had nice crisp thin batter and crisp chips. She had opted to go for the peas rather than mushy peas which they where happy to substitute. See pic A minor thing, but I appreciated the fact that you actually get a ketchup bottle rather than a tiny thimble of condiment, so commonly given out now in quite a few pubs I visit! Over all I would highly recommend this pub. Lovely old building full of character a warm welcome and great pub food! There is also a pub garden at the rear for Al fresco dining.

Stunning food, great portion sizes, fantastic service and an absolutely lovely setting. Had a fabulous meal here with my wife and friends one Saturday evening and couldn't fault it at all.

Real lovely local pub with excellent service and food, excellent value. The pub itself is really cosy and welcoming inside. Highly recommend.

Visited with friends last night. Service was very slow especially considering the restaurant was quiet. The restaurant prides itself on being enviromentally friendly and to cut down on waste has a QR code on the table to access there menus online this clearly states it is updated every day but when 2 of our party tried to order the steak was told this was not actually on the menu. So they ordered the wild venison steak at £18 from the menu instead. you can imagine our surprise when the bill was presented to us at £20 more than was expected. On Querying this was told that the online menu we had ordered from was only a sample menu and was then shown a paper menu with the veal prices at £28 not £18 obviously refused to pay this inflated price I have checked again this morning and this price is still listed would recommend if you are going to eat here you carefully check your bill before paying

Such a lovely, friendly, well kept pub. The food is incredible, well judged prone and all round satisfying, and reasonably priced, especially for the area. The beer selection has really been thought about, there's something for everyone, but not just the usual lineup. I'm really impressed, and I used to run bars and am probably a bit unfairly harsh usually.

Great place for a good pub meal. Good food and beer served by friendly staff in a quiet village location. Large garden when the sun is shining.

Stopping by at this pub en route to my airbnb just outside of the village. It’s a nice and cosy pub and the proprietor ? was very polite and accomodating, he enquired in the kitchen about whether a meal was vegan. Also gave me their wifi code as the reception was pretty bad. The meal I had their vegan burger with fries was great and their own ale was good, too. Will definitely come back during my stay.

Our 2nd lunch here within a few weeks, and on both occasions the staff have been friendly and attentive, and the food well up the quality scale for pub meals, without reaching gastro-pub standards. It's in the heart of the picturesque old village and has a good sized private garden for summer visitors. Space in the interior is limited but that is part of its charm.
