British, Traditional Restaurants in Hemel Hempstead
1. The Chequers Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Weston Turville
35 Church Lane - HP22
Chef-owner Dritan and maître d’ Ranka (husband and wife) took over this country pub in the Bucks countryside in 2010. It inspired limited feedback this year, but all upbeat regarding its fairly traditional fare whose high level of aspiration makes this more a ‘restaurant in a pub’ than a gastropub.
2. English at Crazy Bear Beaconsfield
restaurant in Beaconsfield
Old Town - HP9
Nestled in the heart of picturesque Buckinghamshire, the Crazy Bear Beaconsfield stands as a beacon of extravagance and unique style, blending traditional British heritage with an audacious twist. Our restaurant prides itself on a diverse range of exquisite ...
3. The Bricklayers Arms
British, Traditional restaurant in Flaunden
Hogpits Bottom - HP3
A “very pleasant country pub” helmed by Sally & Alvin Michaels for two decades, and whose “good food” of Anglo-French bent (including home-smoked fish and meat, and local game) “attracts diners from well beyond its area”; indeed, one reporter who took far-flung American visitors found that they “loved the location and quaintness” of this attractive Georgian locale – also handy for the Harry Potter experience at Warner Bros Studio nearby.
4. The Glasshouse, The Grove
British, Traditional restaurant in Chandler's Cross
2021 Review: “Just reopened and even better than before”, this ultra-lux country-house hotel has an unusual ‘high-concept’ buffet-style dining room inspired by Asian food halls, with chefs cooking at eight ‘live action food stations’ (robata grill, seafood, tandoor oven et al), from which guests choose as much as they want. It’s not fine dining, but it is good-value in its way and it’s something-for-everyone style suits entertaining or a family get-together.
5. Three Oaks
British, Traditional restaurant in Gerrards Cross
Austenwood Ln - SL9
Katherine (daughter of the late Terry Wogan) and Henry Cripps have long stewarded this top-class, good-value gastroboozer, in a “nice location” near the local golf club; the “seriously good food” makes it “much more than a pub” and “friendly staff” ensure a good welcome.
6. The Royal Standard of England
British, Traditional restaurant in Beaconsfield
Forty Green - HP9
This “fantastic” brick-and-timber boozer is a properly historic venue which, at 900 years old, may even be England’s oldest free house; its warren-like rooms have featured on many a TV show (not least ‘Midsomer Murders’, which is namechecked by their chicken pie), and its menu of pleasing classics (burgers, fish pies) plays an admirable supporting role.
7. The Jolly Farmer
restaurant in Chalfont St Peter
Gold Hill West - SL9
This “good local gastropub” offers food that is a step up from most rivals (think soufflés at both ends of the meal), thanks to being “part of the Raymond Blanc outfit” – the former White Brasserie Group, renamed as Heartwood Inns in summer 2023.
