user reviews of the Charles Dickens, Beaconsfield

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

A perfectly acceptable pint (usually Pride and Deuchars IPA), plenty of screens for live sport and reasonably price bar food. Can't complain.

A so so pub. A bit dingy inside and could use a refurb. Some nice beers, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Not too bad, the beer is good. The best bit is the 'no swearing' sign that the employees seem to forget are there!

I too noticed that back in the Autumn when I called in there, it could desperately do with a lick of paint. The beer, however,was up to its usual good standard, and thats all that counts as far as I'm concerned.

I was somewhat disappointed with the London Pride on my recent visit, as it was nowhere near as good as I remember it. It might have been a bad barrel, but the Barmaid seemed to take offence when I pointed it out to her, which in turn caused me offence.

This was soon forotten about after a few Speckled Hen's, which did the job I have to admit. I hope that they can sort out the London Pride, and encourage the staff to smile a bit more. At nearly £3 a pint, they should be positively beaming!!

Great food, the sunday lunch is the best around... better than the god awful chain pubs dominating the main street.

Clean Pub, Clean Beer, NO twat's welcome, so all in all worth a visit if you're passing through. Seriously recommend the Deuchar's or London pride; served without 'attitude', as that's reserved for the Youth Club across the Road....or the Old White Swan and it's throwbacks....

Unless you are 60+, or you have never been in Beaconsfield, then you have to be a complete tosser to end up in this pub!

Watch out for the guy slitting his wrists in the corner!

One of the better pubs in Beaconsfield, the beer here isn't bad, the atmosphere is friendly and the toilets are kept pretty clean. At least it feels like a real pub (unlike the awful Saracens Head). Food isn't very good but not the worst in town. Sky television for those interested in watching the sports.

Every one who writes a comment for this pub seems to slag the swan off, seems to be a pattern forming, they are all yocals who do not drink anywhere else but the dickens how sad. no swearing which is fair enough oh unless your behind the bar then swear all you want.

Great Pub, Great Beer, Great fun, no idiots allowed in there, so would definately recommend!!!

Nice English Pub, just what I was looking for after a difficult and most dreadful experience at its neighbour, the Swan.
I recommend this Pub to anyone looking for traditional Beer and warm hospitality, as it restored my faith in the English immediately. The other Café could learn a lot from this establishment.

Family friendly, great little Pub. We all had a great Sunday Roast in there, and proceeded to drink the rest of the day away on a very well kept Barrel of London Pride. Highly recommended for Ale, Food and general Ambience. The locals also appear to be a lot more friendly than at the one further down the Road; I think it's called the Swan or something.

a pub that constantly smells of prep cooking oil mmmmm yummy, bit clostrafobic more like a train carriage, not the best pint in the world and the food is pretty unimpressive

Small, but cosy and has a decent Patio out the back. Well kept selection of Beers, and excellent, Value-for-Money Food served most of the day/night. Becoming more popular with locals owing to the demise of it's neighbour, The Old Hare,(another victim of "redevelopment!")as the Landlord does a good job, and keeps a decent pint of Speckled Hen!!. The only downside is that the Bar Manager is a Manchester United fan, but perhaps all the more reason to go and annoy him!!
