Still a good pub, does good basic food, serves 5 real ales, good service friendly atmosphere, just wish it was in the Village center then I could walk to it.

Stopped off here on Friday 11th September during a walk from West Ruislip to Chorleywood. It's a nice old-fashioned place, not far from Chalfont St. Peter but in a separate hamlet called Horn Hill. My wife had Timothy Taylor Landlord and I had Courage Best, both of which were fine. There may have been another hand-pump ale on but I can't remember what it was.

Visited yesterday afternoon after a walk. Good range of beer (5 ales - I had Courage Best which was great) and friendly service
Reasonably priced food especially the carvery. All in all a very pleasant afternoon/early evening in a straightforward unpretentious pub which deserves to do well

Have been coming to this pub fairly regularly on Friday evenings - fair selection of beer and great atmosphere.
Food is always good value if not cordon bleu!
rumour is that it is up for sale - hope new owner doesn't change it too much.

Was on a walking holiday and was pleased to find this pub opens before noon on Sundays. Landlord lit the log fire especially for us to warm up! Wide range of good food available, including Sunday carvery. I think there were over 70 dishes on the menu, and best of all it was proper pub food with no gastro pub pretensions or silly prices. Three good real ales on tap too: London Pride, Doom Bar and Timothy Taylor Landlord.

This pub has certainly moved on from where it was a few years back. It now offers a variety of ales, which are well kept and boasts homemade food using fresh ingredients. I was certainly satisfied with my meal and thought it was very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

The programme "Rogue Restaurants" was over 4 years ago and it is not fair to condemn a pub for what happened that time ago. I have just been to the Dumb Bell and was pleasantly surprised by it. The service was good there were 3 real ales available, Courage Best, Pride and Speckled Hen, the Pride was excellent. The food was good and inexpensive and the pub overall was very good. Whilst not the best pub I have ever been to it is a long, long way from the worst.
The pub has moved on so should the basis of any reviews, and no I'm not the landlord, just a punter.

This place is a dump. Do not eat here watch out for deadly bacteria on your food. Watch rogue restaurants on BBC Iplayer if that doesn't put you off nothing will!

Separate dining area.Well behaved dogs are not rejected.Kid friendly.Great garden.Great beers.It is a drive and a country pub on it's own.Large playing area outside including trampoline.Give it a try and write a review!

Not the prettiest of pubs inside but staff are friendly and the food is nice. Not somewhere I would go all the time for a drink but I would occasionally for the food. The garden is fantastic for children just needs tidying up a bit as it's a bit grubby. Shame it's not really within walking distance of Chalfont village.

Nice cavery, good local pub but requires transport to get there.

Friendly pub in a great location - middle of nowhere. Good beer. Carvery is good value. Recent refurb means demise of pool table but darts have remained. Large garden with plenty of kids play equipment. Always some sports showing on one of the many televisions. If you want a quiet drink go somewhere else.

A lively country pub outside the centre of Chalfont. Has a pool table and darts. Busy in the summer, especially when they have a barbecue.
