Reviews by BITE users:
Well done to Vale brewery for making this 'lost' pub into a premier real ale destination & to Stuart and Monia for running the pub so well. Even the font lagers are interesting. When you have 10 real ales on (and none of them from a 'major')do you really need a beer festival! (well, yes - the more the merrier)
Hop Pole wins pub of the year!
The Hop Pole in Aylesbury has been named pub of the year by the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The Bicester Road pub beat 700 rivals in the area to land the prestigious prize.
David Roe, CAMRA's Aylesbury Vale & Wycombe Branch Chairman, said: "This is remarkable because only a few years ago the pub was totally run down and going nowhere.
"It has been transformed by local brewers Vale Brewery and is now a mecca for beer drinkers."

Looks like no food till late summer. But the Beer gets better and better. They now have plenty of seating outside
We can not wait for the summertime it will be lovely to sit outside and what the barges go by. Also Landlord said they should be serving food hopefully by easter. Will have to sample that. New owners very friendly people.

Red Lion re-opened in December 2007, saw the new year in there. There was a tasty spread put on which went down well with the cocktails that we had.

been a while thought i would ease of the booze for a while but spent a lovely hot sunday in the garden of the kingy surrounded by the smell of a wholesome roast until it got the better of me it was very tasty indeed went home at 10.oopm ophs!!love the new wine list.... book me in next week.
I think the pubs in Wendover need to realise that we are paying customers and do not expect to be social workers for persons like the peace campaigner lad.
I am aware of a trauma but it is not our problem. We are customers out for a drink and a meal.
Naturally, my colleagues and I toured all of the pubs and the and the experience was awful, with the exception of the White Swan.
For future events we will not be in the Aylesbury area.
Are you the landlord writing reviews for his own pub?
If so, that's sad.

An awesome local pub, great beer, superb bar staff, and they are dog friendly.
Highly Recommended.

- indeed, by the rating, incredibly loyal. Decent pub though the score is a little misleading.
This remains a gem of a pub and should be retained just as it is. Make sure you visit while in Wendover.

Wonderful place, still unspoilt and uninterfered with. Visited with a friend this evening and we were thrilled to see every fixture and fitting intact and in place. We enjoyed a well-kept pint of Fuller's "Discovery" and watched locals play what looked like a game of tennis on the WII set.This remains a gem of a pub and should be retained just as it is. Make sure you visit while in Wendover.

Really nice place, and an interesting building. Food was excellent and good ales on. I found the service pretty good, though it was a quiet lunchtime.
Definately worth a visit if you're in the area.
The interior in light and airy, making a really pleasent environment.
We had lunch and a couple of pints of real ale each and the bill was a modest £24, which I thought to be excellent value, considering the quality and freshness of the food. I am told that all the meat is sourced locally from farms within the Swanbourne Estate, which is great news.
In summary. Well worth a visit.
Definately worth a visit if you're in the area.

Wll, food was good, beer was well kept and served. But at the end of the meal it took an age to attract someone's attention to pay the bill. It all went south from ther on in. I would have rated this pub higher, if it were not for that.21 Jun 2008 10:41
We recently had lunch at The Betsey Wynne pub in Swanbourne. This pub displays may plaques confirming it's excellent conversion from I guess an old house or farm building,The interior in light and airy, making a really pleasent environment.

Another visit - A good little Freehouse that can get some really interesting beers. Cannot get these in your local pub owned by pub co - chain antiseptic multi-nationals.Treasure it.
Vive the difference.

Cracking place to sit outside, front or back, on a sunny day and sample a few of the ales.

A very interesting place, with a super selection of ales. Food is also good. I've now visited a few times and the staff have always been friendly and knowledgable about the beers. Cracking place to sit outside, front or back, on a sunny day and sample a few of the ales.
3 Apr 2008 20:57
As most others have said, The White Horse has a great selection of beers. The thing I like best is the fact that it's one of the only pubs I know that has a nice Belgian stong beer on tap. However, they only have one at a time (per month), and sometimes it's one of those fruit beers...which I don't like. As far as their other beer, I have had one or two that might have been reaching their age limit, but I suppose that's expected when you try to keep so many beers...many of which are largely unknown. The place is great when the weather is nice...to sit either in front, or the back garden. Never ate there, so can't comment on that. Worth a visit.31 Mar 2008 14:05

What a gem..! Has been on my radar for quite a while now owing to the extensive range of real ales available. Has also been the venue for one of our 'One-Pub Pub Crawls' .. now that's an accolade..! Don't know about the grub, but supposed to be good, according to people I know who have eaten here. If you drink bitter, you'll not be disappointed..!
If you like Beer, you'll love it here.....just leave the Car at home eh?

The best real ale pub in this area, quality beers well kept and decently priced. Friendly regulars and bar staff. Every visit here is an absolute pleasure. The food is also very good ,decently priced and traditional. The new smokin area that is at the side in the car park is huge with tables comfy chairs and heaters - the smokers outside often outnumber the non smokers inside. Summer Lightning/Crop circle always on and all your other favorites/ no less than 10 beers to choose from - What more can you ask. This pub now far better than the White Horse in Hedgerley due to the quality and choice of beer. 8 Feb 2008 14:57

As noted it is very food oriented, this is the sort of place you would take someone out to eat. The beer was superb but as it's a short walk from the Rebellion Brewery it should be! The bus stop is right outside the pub so easy access to Wycombe and Henley/Reading. I will certainly visit again.
We go to this pub for both the BEER and the FOOD.
A group of us was in the other night (with some overseas visitors) and we went through most of the Rebellion hand pumps. The IPA and Smuggler were on top form. We also tried the seasonal 'Roasted Nuts' which I found excellent, but wasn't to the taste of some of our lager drinking continental visitors.
As for the food, gmlatic has got it spot on. The chalk board menu is enormous but is usually mostly something that was formerly living and isn't now. But we always find it well cooked and the portions are enormous (on this occasion 'half a roasted duck, half a roasted chicken, and the chicken and ribs combo was not for the faint hearted. In fact the only person who was disappointed was the veggi.
So should you go to this pub ?.
If you want an excellent pint of cask ale and can consume half a cow... Yes.
If you are vegetarian and drinking orange juice... no

Beer is very good, but a bit pricey.The Rebellion mild was especially tasty.Food looked good(didn't try), but also a bit pricey.Pub a bit lacking in atmosphere and clearly geared up for food.Worth a visit, but the Royal Standard in Wooburn Common is a better bet(for food & beer) when in the area.4 May 2008 20:52

Terribly disappointing food here. Having looked forward to visiting for quite sometime now I was most upset upon receiving our main courses to find that Bisto ‘gravy’ had been poured over and ruined everything we had ordered!! Being the host for this small get together of friends I was totally embarrassed. And I really don’t like to be a ’stick in the mud’ but for the prices you pay here I find this practise of saucing with Bisto completely unacceptable, I wouldn‘t do this at home so why should I pay ‘experts’ for the ‘privilege’ of serving us this god awful monstrosity of a ‘sauce‘? Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall would have a fit. I also think that this should be made clear to customers on the menu itself to avoid further embarrassment and a short line added with an opt out clause along the lines of ’With or Without Bisto’. A potentially good meal with friends ruined in what can only be described as a ‘caricature’ of a gastro pub.
The food is good too - Dozen Oysters were fantastic...wife was pleased!... and the old dog got a sausage. They allow dogs in - very civilised.
Best time to enjoy this special pub is late lunchtime and early afternoon, when it's not so rammed with drinkers enjoying the rare beers from the craft brewers.
Even more full on the weekends.
That said, it's also enjoyable when thoroughly crowded...
A hidden gem never disappointed.
Cheers

Another visit to this fabled pub with heaps of character. We had some excellent beers in a cosy and friendly pub nook in front of one of the log fires. Very ale house - lots of wooden benches. The food is good too - Dozen Oysters were fantastic...wife was pleased!... and the old dog got a sausage. They allow dogs in - very civilised.

I went there a few weeks ago after seeing recommendation in a mag. What a let down - long queues at bar, cluttered tables, diy cuttlery - and the prices!!!!for nothing more than scraps of steak and kidney in stodgy suet. I'm glad I no longer live in the area, I've obviously got used to better quality. The only nice bit was prolonged views of the barmaid while waiting. Don't waste your money there.5 Apr 2008 12:23

This pub is in my heritage.
My great grandfather and grandmother ran it from 1900 to 1906 where my great greandmother died.
I visited the pub last year and had Sunday lunch.
Met up with Rachel who was brilliant and told me the history of the pub.
The inside has not been changed very much but the low ceilings, oak beams, open fireplace I think gave the pub atmosphere.
The lunch was lovely.
Cant comment on the beer as I was driving and I had a coke.
The downside to the pub is the huge LCD screens for mainly the football. They are too big and overshadow the rest of the pub and why they need 2 in such a small area is beyond me.
Another sad thing is that there is no beer garden.
Parking is non existant too.
Otherwise worth a visit.

Could be a nice locals pub for the older folk, shame about the attitude problems they seem to have behind the bar. Snide comments and back stabbing aren't a nice thing to have to sit and listen to while you're supping on a pint!!23 Apr 2008 23:16
Now that there is "No Smoking" this pub is even nicer, the low ceiling made the atmosphere a bit dense previously. There are generally 3 real ales on one of which is a guest ale, the others were Tribute and Pride. Generally kept well but occassionaly you get a poor one (that's real ale for you). This is the best pub in CSP full of atmosphere and charm. 3 Mar 2008 21:25

28 Jun 2008 22:01
were you on our table????? we had exactly the same experience that night. Had to wait 15 mins before anyone seated us,even though we had booked, were told we had to order at bar although it was after 6pm. in the end they did serve us. Was told on the phone that there was plenty of choice for vegetarians, turns out there are abt 3 dishes with asparagus in, so it's ok if you like asparagus! Waited an hour for food, and then abt 40 mins for them to ask if we wanted dessert, by which time we were all fed up. The only good thing about this place were the people I was with and the wine went down quite well!! This place is shocking and the service is terrible. Will try the swan in old amersham next time for food as the bar staff are excellent there so i'm presuming the standard will be better by a mile.28 Jun 2008 19:47
I feel I have to comment to agree with the below statement! I have REGULARLY gone to this pub since Oct 03 when I moved to this area and it was WITHOUT DOUBT the best pub in Amersham, probably Bucks. Since about April this year, the last 10-12 times I have been, whether to drink or eat or both, I have been very disappointed with the food, drink AND service. It pains me to write this as I used to LOVE this place but I would no longer recommend it and stopped going. I understand management has changed recently so maybe this is the problem. There used to be a FANTASTIC ale range as well as original and varied specials. I had a work party there over Christmas just gone and the entire team made our party welcome and happy. The young male manager (who could've been no older than 25) came over and talked to us for a lengthy period of time and there was a real feeling of locality and respect for the guests. Bring back old management and I will bring back my custom!10 Jun 2008 19:28

I called in here today for lunch at 1.00pm with a friend. There were only two others eating inside, and the garden didn't appear to be busy; indeed, the landlord did comment that it was unusually quiet- despite the superb weather and Milton Festival this week.
There was a small but adequate selection of draft beers, and what I had was pleasant to drink. The food (braised pork for my friend and chicken for me, both with fresh vegetables) was beautifully cooked by the landlord's wife, and reasonably priced.
I did notice the "no mobile phones" sign, and happily the situation didn't arise among the aged clientele that we were today!
I shall definitely go again, and enjoyed my visit more than on an occasion a year ago, when I was told rather frostily by the landlord that they did not do fish and chips.....

Went back last week for a meal with 8 other friends, the food was excellent, we each chose something different from the menu, not by design, and it wa all served beautifully cooked. The landlady does the cooking and it is all fresh produce not boil in a bag, don't know how she managed it there were at least 6 other tables also being served. It is slightly up market good pub food (not gastro pub and not gastro pub prices!)The beer as ever was very well kept 3 real ales, we will be back. 3 Mar 2008 21:20
On the strength of 2 previous visits, the last about 2 yrs ago, the 4 members of the 'Pub Crawl Crew' made a return visit on 13 Feb. As before, pleasant enough welcome, good beer (Adnams, Spitfire, Black Sheep), 2 ciders, nice ambience in comfortable, beamed old-style pub surroundings. Like a previous contributor, the landlord barked his annoyance at one of us when his mobile rang. If there is a notice, it's not very noticeable.! (Mind you, Micky's phone does have a particularly annoying ring-tone.!) We weren't eating, but a customer that had, complemented the bar staff by saying "those steaks were delicious,just right, thank you". So, looks like the food could be worth a bash.! To again echo a previous contributor, it's worth mentioning the particularly clean glasses. That says something about the landlord's approach to his business. Summing up, well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed, but try to remember to put your fone on 'Silent'..! 14 Feb 2008 17:11

i ended up in the Swan and the K&Q, both of which were spot on.
It should be noted by newcomers who may be inclined to act like username eamonn_tabasco_boy's that this site is not for the faint hearted, contributors tell it the way it is. If that stings a bit - tough.
There are plenty of other sites for 'pink and fluffy' bull...t reviews - this is not known to be one of them. BITE is now a well tried, trusted and tested site. That's why it's one of only three that anyone takes any notice of.
Something that may be of benefit to some, pubs are places of community and reflect local attitudes, values and behaviours through owners, managers and customers alike ! From what I remember of Wendover and its people, they are too good for jumped up places like this.
