The Pilgrim - Aylesbury Vale

Second time eating here and didn’t disappoint. Lovely pub, friendly staff, and great vegetarian options.

Lovely food, great service, wonderful selection of drinks and a lovely pub garden. Definitely recommend!

Limited pub menu only. Food and pub were nice and everyone friendly.

This restaurant pub is a hidden gem located in a charming village, with a mention in the Michelin guide for its exceptional food. We made a reservation for Sunday lunch at 1:00 pm and were pleasantly surprised to find the place not too crowded. Over the two and a half hours we spent there, the restaurant gradually filled up without becoming overly crowded. The cozy establishment has around 20 covers, with additional seating and a bar area for drinks. They offer a selection of real beer and cider, as well as some snacks like chips and bread. The wine list is standard, but the food menu is where the restaurant shines. The Sunday lunch options included beef, lamb, sea bass, and a vegetarian cottage pie, all of which were delicious. The starters, such as ham hock terrine and mushrooms on toast, were equally impressive. We all opted for the beef, which was a perfectly cooked rib eye. The roast potatoes were excellent, though some found the carrots a bit too sweet. Despite being too full for dessert, we left satisfied with our meal at this friendly pub restaurant. We also noticed a lovely beer garden that would likely be bustling on a summer weekend. We will definitely return when in the area.

I recently had the most enjoyable meal in a long time at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning.
