What can I say, but a lovely pub serving good beers and good food. Good to play Aunt Sally out the back in the car park too.

This pub is amazing, it's the type of village pub you close your eyes to imagine but then rarely find. Unspoilt cottage style interior, with tiled floors, old benches and a fire. But then you go out back and there's this huge garden on a lawn, with attractive planting all round it (rather than the "benches dumped in a car park" look you often see...).
Friendly lady I think was the landlady and bar staff, the food is also excellent and good value at �8-�12 a main dish. And then there's the great ale - particularly from the XT brewery a mile up the road - the XT1 is the most mild in the range but packs so much flavour.

Still a real pub with atmosphere, horse brasses and all. Food sampled good. Service good.

Exceptional beers in a wonderful old pub. There's a nice beer garden out the back where they still play Aunt Sally

Wonderful, old-fashioned country pub with very friendly landlady (and dog). Five real ales is about the right number to get good turnover. One alcove is dedicated to the Long Crendon Morris Men -- which says quite a lot about both the pub and the village.

What a pub and what a fantastic village! was in The Eight Bells on Sunday 17th May to have a meal, food was fantastic and at a reasonable price! they had 3 Ales on hand pull and 2 on a stillage directly behind the bar, the beer was in good nick and was at a healthy price for this area of Bucks. this is certainly the quintessential English Village and is classed as the home of the TV series "Midsomer Murders".
The pub is very old, i believe it dates back over 400 years, the staff were friendly and attentive and all in all this pub was great, long may it stay that way!

They now have two handpulled ales of which one was Spinning Dog Harvester (a bit cold) and four on gravity - we sampled the Fenland 'Rauchbier tasting' Babylon Banks which was spot on. The gravity ales appear to have started last week, perhaps because they are now in the Good Beer Guide. A damn good boozer.

New owner taken over in Sept 2006. This freehouse pub has now reverted back to a popular local country pub. The new landlady keeps exceptional ales and choice of quality wines. Pub grub served, good quality and wholesome. Steaming dogs in front of the log fire after a long country walk in the winter is lovely.
