    Excellent food and the pub catered for me as coeliac. There was plenty of gluten free choices. The service was friendly and efficient.

    Excellent quality of food and very generous portions. Service was a little slow but I think maybe down to low staff numbers, but no real problem. Restaurant area quite noisy. Was quite a warm day yet their heating was on and was initially sat where a light bulb would literally be touching my head !

    I use the Bucks frequently, lunch or evening dinner. Always good food and I love the location. We have a dog so we’ll walk from a car park on the north or west of the estate have lunch then enjoy the walk back.

    We enjoyed the plaice and flat iron steak very much. The portions sizes were generous and food was well cooked and beautifully presented, my steak didn't taste chargrilled though. Service was pretty prompt and some of the staff were cheerful. The Bucks is cosy and comfortable pub with good parking.
