The Dumb Bell, Chalfont St Peter
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

Absolutely brilliant! Great beer and lunch which was surprisingly good value. Would happily visit again and recommend to anyone.

A lovely pub in an interesting setting. Friendly bar staff and a good pint of Youngs Bitter. Will visit again if in the area.
The pub also has history in that HM The QueenMother
visited.

The Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty, Heronsgate
Lovely pub. I hadn't visited for about 10 years when the place was quite downmarket. Now it is a superb pub with superb choice of beers. Only downside was wait for a pasty!
Will definitely return and recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy great beer.

Popped in for a pint yesterday. Nice enough pub and beer. If I lived locally I'd definitely visit regularly

Now has a pretty good Turkish food menu cooked on open charcoal range. Not brilliant for ale fans but worth a visit for the food

Lovely pub. Good food, good ale, good service, pretty village location

Now called "something social club" - a waste of space!
Went in for a beer before the gig at the empire - 4 deep at the bar hardly any staff I walked out
Whoever owns this place needs to recognise that empire gigs equal opportunity to make money and staff up accordingly - other pubs do!

Would have stopped for pint today - sadly pub is closed and up for sale!

Glad to see "The Royal Tar" is still going strong even with a different name! Used to get brought here as a kid with my dad, granddad and my mums brothers. Mrs Dicks was the landlady and there were no ladies toilets!
A trip down memory lane.

The Cadgwith Cove Inn, Cadgwith Cove
Smashing pub. Visited lunchtime whilst walking the coast path. Beer, ffod and service very good.

Visited twice at lunchtime whilst on a recent walking holiday. Enjoyed beer, food and service was good. Prices highish, but this seems common in this part of Cornwall

Amazed at negative comments. Went in at lunchtime twice whilst on recent walking holiday. Beer, food and service all very good, but I agree the prices are highish, but this seems common in this part of Cornwall.

Spent a nice Sunday afternoon in here. Good beer, good service and interesting crowd. Would happily return.

Popped in today whilst on a walk around the area. Although kitchen had officially closed they were happy to provide food and this was good. Beer choice ok (Pride, Brakespears and Doom Bar).
Nice location and comfortable welcoming pub

Closed and boarded up with a large sign indicating planning permission granted for flats and houses. Another one bites the dust!

The Church House Inn, Ashburton
What a gem!
Arrived for lunch on a cold wet Dartmoor day. Having walked 4 miles and 4 miles to go back.
Good food, good beer, good service. Would recommend to anybody and will visit again.

Had a couple of nice pints a week ago on a Sunday afternoon. Nice pub with good service. Must be doing something right given the number of people in. Good tosee a busy pub.

The Dumb Bell, Chalfont St Peter
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.
12 Jan 2014 23:25
cannot believe this pub was allowed to die! Must be the prime location in Marsworth. Would be great if the owners or council could give a reason?

Nice pub. Worth a visit if you're in the area. Popped in for a few with old workmates and all enjoyed.

The Angel in the Fields, Bond Street
Had some drinks with old workmates last Wednesday. Very pleasantly surprised at how good the place was. Would recommend for drinks, but don't know about food as none was available.

Had a pint and a sandwich last Saturday lunchtime. Very pleasant (if a little expensive) on a drizzly day.
Recommended.

The Barrowboy and Banker, London Bridge
Midweek, reasonably busy, BUT the prices!!! Over £4 for a pint of summer ale outrageous. Won't return in a hurry!
14 Jul 2013 22:35
popped in last Friday. Warm day - pint of lager. Nothing special, but nice location and worth a visit.

The Wagon and Horses, Chalfont St Peter
Nice pub. Nothing special but worth a visit. Just needs to extend the ale range to make a great pub!
16 Jun 2013 23:33
drove past and is boarded up with a sign saying to be replaced with houses!
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
16 Jun 2013 22:23
Well and truly closed and now a small housing estate, retains the pub name though!
29 Apr 2013 21:20
Pleasant enough, but slow service and average food. Only 1 of 3 ales on - Rev James was good.
26 Apr 2013 23:02
Went in with 3 friends - beer poor, welcome poor, pub empty. No surprise!
26 Apr 2013 22:54
Visited three times over last weekend. Excellent again! Not much more to said.
Check it out!

Absolutely brilliant. Went for few before the Springsteen gig in Hyde Park. Very busy but coped well. Food looked good, but maybe a little pricey? Anyway good few pints of discovery set me up well for a great if wet evening!

Would loved to have tried this, but it was closed on May bank holiday Sunday! Sign said reopening Tuesday May 8 at 3 pm - i.e. after May bank holiday weekend.
There must be a good reason for not opening on a bank holiday - I hope

Popped in for a couple of pints early evening Sunday 6/5. fairly qiet, but reasonably friendly. Came back later to see the live band - wow what a difference!
Packed out, good band and still friendly service. Really enjoyable.
