"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."

"We love the Crooked Billet, and visit very frequently all year round. This is why: 1. It is a pub obviously deeply loved by its Landlord and Landlady who have been in residence for over 30 years. 2. The garden is spectacular (and award winning! always full of colourful bedding plants. Perfect on a sunny day, with covered areas when needed. 3. The inside is warm and inviting, with lovely old English traditional decor. It feels very snug in the winter with the log burner on. 4. The staff are great, very helpful and always make us (and our dog feel very welcome. Your dog will instantly love it as they will likely be offered biscuits by the Landlord!! 5. The food is great, and excellent value. There is a noticeable difference in how much less you spend to feed the family at the Crooked!! There is an excellent variety of traditional pub fare (served lunchtimes only on offer. My favourites from the Monday to Saturday include the Billet Burger and Gammon…and on Sundays, the roast dinner. Booking highly recommended as I see walk ins often disappointed to find it fully booked!!! 6. If you like traditional deserts, this is the place…great size, and amazing value!! 7. There is a nice selection of wines and beers (including the traditional ales Timmy Taylors and Youngs . 8. Just by the pub is a public footpath leading into lovely woods, with various trails where there is a good chance of seeing deer and other wildlife. Some of the paths are circular bringing you back in 30 mins to an hour. In particular (not on a map one route at the top brings you out onto a permissive path (owner allows access leading along the outside of the woods with outstanding views of Thames Valley….you then dip back into the woods at the end and can circle back….one of our favourites!! Enjoy!!!"

"Well, have been to this place a total of 5 times, first time was good, nothing special but value for money was alright and I couldn’t fault them so naturally we thought lets go back, then second time not amazing, asked for half a duck to find shards of bone in the food. Most places have the bone in the pot which isn’t an issue, but shards of bone which is hard to go through all the shredded meat to decipher wasn’t amazing. Third time ordered beef in black bean sauce beef was as tough as a leather shoe so i stopped getting that option. Fourth visit decided to opt for chilli beef as the other two disappointed me and my partner to find the smell and taste of fish which i am sure was due to frying in the same oil as fish which ruined that food. Fifth time (probably thinking why bother due to the previous visits, well sometimes rough patches can happen to businesses especially due to covid so always give places another chance plus the value of food is a factor) was today, to be quite frank I didn’t order anything, 6pm rang to order 2 portions of ribs and a chow mein. To be told can’t collect until 9pm. That is absurd! How can it take 3 hours to COLLECT a simple order??? Finally to add the last 3 visits has consisted of gradual terrible customer service. Today and the time before has taken a total of 1.5 hours of ringing time as they don’t answer the phone. When you do get through the response from front of house greeting is as joyful as talking to dry old cardboard in other words you get more joy from a pull bearer at a funeral. Safe to say I won’t be going back there. A total shame as they could do a lot better if they change their staff and standards as the first visit was good."
