"My wife had been to tea and cake at the Grange before and found it excellent. We decided to pop in for lunch on the off chance. Booking is normally essential to ensure that you get in. The Grange is the restaurant and cafe arm of Hearing Dogs for the Deaf and fronts the Southern Training Centre located in Saunderton between West Wycombe and Princes Risborough. The menu is modest, offers vegetarian and vegan options. Ingredients are excellent and of the highest quality. I opted for the fish and chips (hake, beer batter, minted peas and chips with a tartare mayo lacked bite for my taste) and the other half had the tomato and basil soup). Both were excellent. Prices are very reasonable and, of course, the profits go to the charity. The restaurant is, unsurprisingly, deaf friendly with echo eliminating ceilings and sound absorbing floors. Modern buildings and very doggy friendly. Tours of the training centre with or without cream tea are available. The decor is “rustic” and is entirely in keeping with the surroundings."

"I have eaten at this restaurant at least half-a-dozen times, evening and lunch. This time it was Sunday lunch and the setvice was poor, not the staff particularly, though they did not notice that we had been waiting 45 minutes to be served our meal. One of the vegetables was listed as red cabbage but we were served green cabbage, without any apology."

"we were a large group and the accommodated us which was really good as not the bigest place, It was a sunday menu which is quite limited they did do some things off the children's menu for some teenagers who didn't eat roasts. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was just one problem when they did the bill side of things. They had done it in a few family names so we all knew whose was whos bill. We thought there was one more to pay but was assured by the young lady it had all been paid for. We asked my father wether he had paid the last bill and he said no he hadn't. We found it strange but she insisteed it had been paid so we all left ecept my daughter who had a problem with her car. Her husband went back into the pub and then was told that one bill hadn't been paid and he had to pay it. I wasn't happy this happened and I can't understand why she had insisted we had paid it all. It was my brother's part of the meal and he was over from America which meant I landed up paying for more on my birthday. That's why I only gave an average score. Outside looked nice but as was raining couldn't use it. The other thing was it was quite hard to find Sat Nav took us the wrong way had to ask someone"

"I'm a local but by no means a regular, I probably visit 5 or 6 times a year, but regardless the Wheatsheaf always makes you feel welcome. The staff are fantastic, the punters are friendly and the food is superb. During the summer the garden is perfect for when you've got friends/family visiting and on top of all that, the prices aren't bad either. Highly recommend. If I absolutely had to give one area of improvement, I'd say that sometimes the wait for food and service can be a little long if there is a lot of tables eating, but I'm really clutching at straws to think of a negative. Overall a really lovely place which I hope continues to operate for many years to come."

"We’ve visited the Royal Oak several times now and have always thoroughly enjoyed what we’ve had. I always insist on the pork belly starter because it’s so good. Recently we tried the crispy squid which comes with a lovely dip quite unlike anything you’ve had with squid before. The momo dumplings are lovely and definitely worth a try. Mains have always been fabulous too, my favourite being a prawn curry (King Prawn Tawa Masala) as I’m a big fan of masala sauces which aren’t too spicy. Also tried recently was the lamb shank which was delicious (and quite substantial). There’s only a small number of tables in one end of the pub but you can sit elsewhere to have food. It’s a really small place so best to book at busy times. Our most recent visit was a Saturday lunchtime which was quiet. The staff are all lovely, it can take a little while to get your food at busy times but not so long that it ruins the experience. It’s worth waiting for!"
