Aristocrat, Aylesbury

Friday January 23rd. 2009; so why did we travel up from HEMEL HEMPSTEAD for an evening in The Aristocrat - because they had that GREAT band AbaKus playing and I wanted to see if this pub HAD gone downhill under new ownership, as recent reviews seem to have suggested! All I can say is, "No", it's MUCH better than before! AbaKus played a brilliant set, in the spacious function room, which had more than enough space for my c..c..crazy lady pal to dance her heart away...! From a friendly, respectful, quietly-welcoming doorman, to the attractive, very-efficient, SMILING ladies behind the bar, the whole experience was fabulous for us and topped off with a sincere welcome to stay a "little later" by new landlords Val & Gary. Thanks for a lovely evening Val; Jane & Mark will DEFINITELY be visiting again sometime VERY soon...!
