Reviewed Local Food & Drink in or around Amersham

The staff was very accommodating and friendly from the point which we arrived. Each dish was very well presented and thought out. We have an eight course tasting menu. it held its own next to you some of the Michelin restaurants which we have visited. Front of house stuff is fully French, and the restaurants had an air of elegance. The one sommelier was wonderful, opposed to doing a full wine flight we went for a large glass each. He helped us figure out exactly which flavors would be to our likings and best accompany the entire meal. He really knew his wines! A little work could be done on their cocktail making skills. This was the one area which my husband and I were slightly disappointed and confused. Luckily the cocktails were not representative of the meal which followed.

Let me start by saying that for the last 4 years this has been our favourite restaurant, so much so that we always have the same table, and it's even where I proposed to my (soon to be) wife. Having visited 4 - 5 times a year I feel were have had a good variety of the menu over the years, and the food remains brilliant to this day. What has changed though it the level of service, which has gone from such a personal and close connection to what felt like just general table service. The staff were all polite and professional, but it wasn't the same. The level of care, the small touches like redressing a crumpled napkin, and showing interest in the customers, etc has faded over time. What struck me the most though during our recent visit was not only have the prices increased, but we recieved less for our money. - No petite fours with tea/coffee which has always been standard. - Cheese plate had only three cheeses, reduced from the previous four or five selection. No berries, grapes, celery etc. - My dessert (the Blueberries) was a huge let down, especially when compared to the beautiful tortes and soufflaits I've had in the past. This is not to say that the foot was not delicious, the octopus was a real highlight, but the overall experience just lacked the spark which I had always felt in being there. Not sure if this was an off day, or the general new direction of the restaurant. Feel terrible for giving this feedback, but hope the owners will take it as a way to address concerns, and not to mark down on what has always in the past been a great experience. Nick

What lovely lady served me, great food. Nice atmosphere, I’ll eat here next time I pass this way for sure 😜

Quality and service second to none,The owners and staff go the extra mile. Highly recommended.

great food, always fresh and great value. Serve bread, sauces and balsamic type onions complimentary so careful with a starter. Usually have the chicken shish which is delicious with fresh salad and rice but all food freshly cooked and tasty. Staff great as well, book as usually busy.

While walking in the heavy rain one night last week, I stumbled on this restaurant by chance. Needed to sit out the rain somewhere, I went in and, so as to be polite, I ordered a small takeaway. The staff were very courteous, despite my soaking wet shoes. At home, I found the food was excellent; a real treat. So I give it 4 star and a bit. I felt the £19.99 was a bit dear for what I had - but who cares about money when you're having fun. ****/*

Indian restaurant and food as it used to be. That's not to imply that it's old-fashioned but simply feels authentic. The food is delicious but slightly hotter than you might be expecting. Being one of the old houses in the Old Town it is quite cramped but that adds to the atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

My favourite Indian in the area - service great, food usually great but can sometimes be variable (my favourite butter chicken was like the real thing, but a couple of times recently its been like that sugary stuff you get elsewhere)

Think that this Resteraunt have changed there chef as the food has vastly improved. It used to be very salty but is much better now, great value if you eat there on a Sunday lunchtime & pick the buffet.

Fantastic Food, staff are very friendly, Elvis night was such great fun.

After exploring and trying the majority of the Indian restaurants in the local area I can honestly say that I enjoyed this place the most. The place is very cosy and relaxing. The food was great with a varied selection of meals suitable for all. The meal i had was lovely from the standard poppadoms at the beginning to the dessert. The staff were attentive and very friendly and knew what to recommend from the menu. Will definitely be returning once back in the area.

We didn't eat there - we were outside the restaurant next to our car and my little girl randomly started being sick on the street (perfect timing...), turned out to be a sick bug. A waiter from Raj Gate quickly appeared and gave us a bottle of water for her and was really nice. I've since eaten there and had a great meal too. Really nice guys.

Really nice, freshly cooked food. Fresh ingredients and made to order. Good range on the menu and pizzas particularly are great. Set in a lovely old building, the staff and service is great, and also cater well for young children

This is our 'Go to' place for family gatherings. We've been here a few times and the service and food are always excellent. The next big occasion is approaching so we will be heading to our favourite restaurant, looking forward to it already

Favourite restaurant hands down... shame they shut the uxbridge branch.. but if you love authentic Italian food this is the place. Only negative is service is a little slow.. but makes up with food quality.

Great food. Friendly staff. Very good all round

Excellent family run restaurant!! The food is superb and reasonably priced. The staff are so welcoming and do everything they can to ensure you enjoy your meal. I take my Mum and Aunt there for lunch once a week

Lovely Mocha! Very friendly staff and quick service. Not from the local area and didn't want a costa etc.... this was perfect and would recommend! Ate here too which was very nice and good quality :-)

Great food, great price, good service

Nice place, good food, staff very professional. Had a really nice time

A really quirky restaurant/bar only a few minutes walk away from Amersham train station. The menu is extremely varied and suitable for all with its variation. The beer selection is minimal however some of its selection is local brewed which is always a plus for me. The staff are very friendly and attentive, a really nice and more importantly different place to visit. Will definitely be returning!.

Good value food and drinks, spacious seating areas. Relaxed environment. Some board games etc. available. Nice range of drinks, too.

I have been a customer of ming house for A long time over the years Always impresses me true Chinese Old style not in a bad way food always very Good ... Service varies sometimes extra good other times not as good as it can be... Sundays have got more expensive over the years used to be really good for value Recent price increase dose nor show in Different food same but more expensive But I will say it is very very good food I would say look particularly Sunday for Vegetarian choices are not there .. I end on saying a really good resurant Old school in best way possible Give it a go I know you will love it ...

Reasonable Chinese meal or take away at reasonable prices. You would need to book at the weekends.

Best Chinese we've had in a very long time. Great services from both the waitress and Ken himself.

Great food and everybody was so friendly.. We defo go back for more

Incredibly friendly staff with great food and speedy service! Happy to work around ‘fussy’ customers or provide off menu changes. Highly recommended!

Oh my bringing back many memories was an amazing dinner lovely and hot and the service was great. Well done wimpy

Took my family for an afternoon meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The service was excellent. Great staff and manager welcomed us and we were sat in a lovely booth. Perfect to contain the children. Food was excellent. Recommend the Calamari to start. We will be back. Thanks for a nice afternoon!

Had an evening out here a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised at the whole experience. I had the chef's special and it was excellent, service and recommendations were spot on.

We had a family meal in the Swan this weekend, and had a very enjoyable visit. The food was excellent - really tasty and well presented, a nice menu, including a separate vegan menu (which I chose my main course from, and it was lovely!). Service was great from Melinda, who is so friendly and also extremely knowledgeable about all the different dishes on the menu. Something we really appreciated was that the room was quite small, with perhaps 6 or 7 tables, so nice and quiet, despite it being full. It's not a cheap eat at the Swan, but food choice and quality was excellent, and we'd definitely plan to go back if we're in Amersham again.

Delighted to have found this place whilst visiting Old Amersham. Great fresh food, friendly staff, nice setting, plenty of outside seating. Unrestricted parking in street as well as having a good size car park. Can't fault the place. Old Amersham delightful.

Lovely venue, attentive staff and great food. The Special Menu on a Monday is especially good value and absolutely delightful.

Very charming staff and incredibly accommodating chef, just struggle to find food to my taste! The major let down is the tables and chairs! It's looks and feels like garden furniture. Not particularly comfortable. All a bit twee, but incredibly popular with locals.
