"I have gone to the Garibaldi many times especially under the previous owners who always provided a warm welcome and delicious food 7 days a week. Unfortunately under the new management I have to write a very poor review of a so called Sunday roast and very poor service too. A bit like Fawlty Towers that was filmed around the corner in Bourne End. When I first arrived it took ages for someone to come and ask what we wanted to drink and we were then left for 15 minutes before I had to ask if someone would take my food order. We both went for the large roasts turkey and beef with side vegetables. A couple of locals walk in get drinks and service snd their roasts before us, when our vegetables and roasts arrived they were cold and the meat rare. We had to ask for the meat to be reheated. When I was asked if I wanted another drink they did not have any more Merlot. When our food did come back it was just about edible. We were left for ages after we had finished our mains and had to ask for pudding. The apple pie was reasonable but we had to take our empty pudding plates to the bar as we wanted an Irish coffee and after waiting and no one collecting our empty plates we were then told their coffee machine was not working. Please bear in mind this pub only offers home cooked roasts on a Sunday and the rest of the week they get in out sourced caterers. The so-called land lady did not come around to ask if the food was OK or to welcome new clientele and the pub dog is allowed to roam around and sniff your food. Needless to say we will not be returning but we recommend the Cricketers at Littlewick Green for great service and a fabulous Sunday roast."

Pubs • Steak • British • European


"My friends and I arrived at the Russell Arms 15 minutes before their opening time on a Sunday, eager to have some lunch and drinks after a long and tiring hike around Coombe Hill and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. We were among the first to enter the pub and requested a table for three. To our disappointment, the lady informed us that they were fully booked. When we asked when the next available booking would be, she replied that the entire day was booked solid. We then enquired about seating outside and in the garden, but those were supposedly booked as well. Even a drink at the bar was off-limits even tough we'd be standing. Left with the bitter taste of rejection, we departed disappointed and ended up consuming the few snacks we had brought with us before continuing our hike. What added insult to injury was that as we passed by the Russell Arms a few hours later, we saw plenty of free tables. It left us feeling that they could have accommodated us, which marred an otherwise brilliant day of hiking. As a warning to fellow hikers and visitors, if you plan on going to the Russell Arms after your hike, make sure to book in advance to avoid the same disappointment we experienced. We ended up going to Wendover for lunch, where there are more choices and a much more welcoming atmosphere. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a post-hike meal."

The Old Bell Pub

The Old Bell Pub

Town Lane, Wycombe, United Kingdom

Wine • Fish • Soup • Seafood


"My in laws live in High Wycombe and for years we've enjoyed going for lunches at The Old Bell when we visit them. On this occasion it was Mother in Law's birthday. Booked but didn't realise it has been taken over from the previous owners. Greeting was friendly, starters came super quick and were tasty (Mackerel Pate and Chicken Wings). So far so good, 4 roasts and a Caesar Salad for mains. Worryingly, mains came out literally seconds after the starter plates were taken away. What a horrible sight (think of School Dinners); everything already served on the plate (no helping yourself at the table) awash with watery brown liquid (NOT a rich gravy), the yellow mush turned out to be Cauliflower Cheese, beef look alright but turned out chewy, roast potatoes weren't they were the shape of a frisbee and looked like they'd been fried on one side (and were now waterlogged sitting in the puddle of brown liquid) and the huge Yorkshire was burnt to a crisp (dark brown/black). The waitress came past asking if everything was OK, before I could answer she walked off. As she passed again, I explained I was not happy because of the above. She informed who I assumed was the owner/manager who asked if I wanted anything else, I refused (if that was the standard of food, no thanks and I had lost my appetite). Nobody finished the roasts but salad was finished. Desserts were 2 x ice cream (can't get that wrong) and Apple Pie and Custard which came upside down resulting in soggy pastry. On receiving the bill (over £150) I noted no concession at all for the appalling meals, I did raise this with a waitress who just walked past. I decided not to make a scene and upset the family so paid and left. Clearly the owner/manager who we walked past on leaving didn't care, she had our money by then, as no apologies were offered. Spoilt a Birthday treat and we will never ever return to The Old Bell. A real shame as we had been looking forward to returning to an old favourite."
