Best Restaurants for Groups in Buckden

What a little gem, can't believe this is so close but had never been, stunning interiors and beautiful food. Our young waiter Jack was a pleasure, with big smile on his face and great attitude, made a lovely experience a great experience. All staff were lovely and friendly and the food was excellent. We regularly eat out and this was a lovely suprise.

Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!

5 stars as ever…this is why I keep coming back and eating (& drinking) here!

Outstanding food, service, ambiance. Classic British food, nose to tail, simply but exquisitely prepared. We started with olives and roasted bone marrow, a favourite we order whenever possible, and this was the best we’ve ever had. Accompanying parsley salad was flavourful crunchy and fresh, perfect accompaniment along sourdough toast. For mains we shared grey mullet, grilled shorthorn, white asparagus, green salad and a sublime braised mutton. Everything was superb and we were quite full but couldn’t resist dessert. Both the lemon posset and date loaf with butterscotch sauce were incredible and we ate every last bit. Service was low key excellent and very helpful as we ordered wine by the glass having over imbibed over the weekend and server recommendations were perfect.

This venue is excellent, there were 3 of us. We had the lamb, trout and shepherds pie all cooked to perfection. The only downfall was the wait which was nearly an hour. Which was the reason for losing one star. We didn’t have starters but did order coffees and because we were chatting it was a while before we realised how long we had waited. However it was worth the wait.
