"I recently visited this restaurant for a Sunday roast and a few drinks, and I must say the food was outstanding and well worth the price. The staff were also fantastic, and I will definitely be coming back in the future."
I stopped here for a bit of breakfast after a pretty horrible couple of days staying at the local hospital, I can honestly say that to my pleasant surprise I had what I believe to be the best Full English Breakfast that I have had in a pub in over 25 years, the ingredients were all of a high quality and were cooked to an equally high standard, I only wish that there was more of it. It should probably be noted that the staff were also impeccably polite to me, I was served extremely quickly and without fuss and the place was spotlessly clean. Not being from the area I have no idea what the place was like when it was previously a Wetherspoons, certainly some of the previous reviews suggest that...
Three of our party had the Wetherspoons ap, and ordered their drinks and food on it. The two of us without went to the bar and ordered our drinks, which were served, then tried to order food, only to be told that the kitchen was closed to receive goods. When asked for how long, the staff were very vague, suggesting anywhere between twenty minutes and two hours. As a party we were under some time pressure, so we returned to our colleagues to let them know the news. They obviously had not received any food, but neither had they received their drinks. They spoke to staff, and received their beer, but could not leave because they had already paid for their food. The two of us finished our beers...
We stayed here overnight and found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly. Our room (102) was spacious and the shower room was also large. The only issue we encountered was the noise from the many air conditioning units outside our room - we counted 14 of them, which resulted in a constant humming throughout the night. The pub area was clean but had an old-fashioned vibe. We opted to dine at another Wetherspoons nearby for both our evening meal and breakfast. Overall, for the price we paid, we were satisfied and would consider staying here again if in the area.
Usual COVID requirements for a Wetherspoons pub, restaurant and also hotel. As nearby market finished pub was quite quiet. Used app to order drinks disappointed Erdinger low alcohol beer had run out so opted for Heineken Blue. Served quite quickly. As pub quiet able to read some of the history of local stately homes eg Waddesdon and about Baron Rothschild. Did not stay for food but what we saw looked up to the usual Wetherspoon standard. Set this up as a new venue rather than put the review under the Bell Hotel already listed as we were not staying on the premises

Sad how this is nowhere near the normal standards for wetherspoons. The girl at the bar was very helpful, however.... Worst greeting from another staff member I have ever had although he seemed very, very reluctant to do any work. He was poking people in the stomach and making weird noises whilst maniacally laughing. Really didn't seem appropriate whilst at work and we had to avoid him and his moaning about lack of cigarette breaks for fear of getting poked!!!! Will not be back whilst the short guy with glasses is still there...
Whilst the beer was ok, me and my friends were celebrating a great England victory against the Germans. I came across this dwarf wearing glasses with a real attitude problem. He was very abusive towards me and told me i had to leave the premises immediately. He also referred to me as geeza which i am deeply offended by as i identify with the pronouns them or they due to my new found non binary status. I will not be visiting again until this power hungry staffing issue is sorted.
I agree wholeheartedly with D. Wooler's review. I too was in the Bell on Tuesday evening, to celebrate the England victory. I have no idea why the man who runs the hotel side of things felt the need to act in such an aggressive and offensive way, abusing customers left right and centre (as other reviews clearly attest to). There are plenty of other excellent venues in Aylesbury to drink in. I shall be visiting them from now on!
Located in the heart of Aylesbury, this delightful pub is a hidden gem. I ordered the steak, ale, and horseradish pie with champ mash, kale, broccoli, and red wine gravy, and it was absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed a refreshing pint of Chiltern Bitter. The customer service was top-notch - the staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place.

Typical old style Spoons, lots of different alcoves/areas to sit in, the main bar area where you order food and drink is small with a few seats. Some seating outside facing the market place. Toilets upstairs. We had breakfast and it was good, served up piping hot, coffee at 99p with free refills is great value
