Five Bells, Henlowback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Pub was recommended and it seemed nice and busy. Ordered Jumbo Fish & Chips. This was priced at I think £9.25. Very disappointing. I would expect a fresh piece of fish hand battered for this price but it was a frozen piece in awful hard batter. Something you would get out of a box from the supermarket. None of the staff asked if everything was ok - or did we enjoy our meals, just "have you finished"!!! Probably wouldn't go back.

What a joke. I've just left there, and the Lady( I use the term Lady for want of a better one) acted as though she was doing me a massive favour by even speaking to me, never mind serving me
I just cannot understand the attitude of pub staff these days. ( that said, I think she was the 'Mrs')
If you don't want to work with the public, find another occupation

Nice, old fashioned, pub with a large food menu. The food I had was nice and reasonably-priced, but not outstanding. I would, however, take friends and family there for a meal. The pub caters well for older people and the menu seems designed to cater for all ages. A good, reasonably-priced pub which I wouldn't necessarily use for special occassions but would pop into whenever I fancy a good, honest meal.

Visited this Bank Holiday Monday with family from London and Milton Keynes and was VERY impressed. Staff were friendly and attentive, food choice was phenomenal - including good selections for children - quick, hot, tasty and reasonably portioned and priced. Fantastic hanging basket displays outside. Only let-down was the tired looking beer garden with a damaged children's slide which could have caused an injury. Most likely to visit again when possible.

Really nice pub & excellent food, we always take mates who visit here for something to eat, reasonably priced & large servings & always, always nice. Lovely garden with play area if you have kids. Friendly staff & nice clean toilets - important to me! Only drink lager & no complains about that.

Visited 20 Feb evening. Ordered Special (Belly pork cooked in wine with wild mushrooms @ GBP10.95 served with fresh veg, roast potatoes, mashed potato). A round large plate emerged from the kitchen, sporting a dark blob of meat, no sauce, no mushrooms, sliced carrot (looking dry with a white glace), cabbage cooked OK, pea's not garden, left in the microwave to long (excellant ammo for a BB gun) dry mash (Taste good) Roast potatos. I asked if I could have some sauce as I found the food hard to swallow, especialy as the pork was difficult to cut. No sauce but gravy offered and a little jug arrived with some BEEF gravy. Wonder what happened to the sauce and mushroom that my tough belly pork was cooked in??? Definitely over priced and certainly not 'Special'

Well decorated pub. Bar staff seemed a bit disorganised, and slow to serve people. For a tuesday lunchtime, it was pretty full (the OAP menu was clearly popular)
Food took a while to arrive, but was good, and prices were fair. Abbot Ale tasted great, so no worries there
