The Dumb Bell Shire Lane, Chalfont Saint Peter, Gerrards Cross SL9 0QY

"We met a friend from the US and the 3 of us went to The Dumb Bell this lunchtime. My comment was, " next to excellent"! The greeting was great, the food was magnificent: all home cooked; the beer was top class All in all, a wonderful lunchtime and great value for money. What a great pub. Go there. You won't be disappointed."

"Been a visitor to the Dumb Bell for the last 25 years. It is a traditional pub serving classic pub food, a good selection of drinks, welcoming log fires in the winter and sport on all year round. Bar staff are always friendly and welcoming and we can even take our dog in after a walk over the fields."

"Great atmosphere, great service, great pub food, plus a great playground area for the kids. A regular favourite for me and my children. They love the play area and toys, and there’s a small contained area for toddlers to play in. The garden is big with plenty of seating. And interesting tree decorations. (Also you might spot a donkey or Rhea in the field next door.) Sunday carvery is definitely worth visiting for. The main menu is good pub food at reasonable prices. Good kids selection too. Staff are great, very friendly. It always feels like we are welcomed as friends here."

"Lovely old pub with plenty of character. Large garden, with kids facilities. Large car park too. The food was lovely, hot and good sized portions. Service was good and staff very friendly. Will visit it again when in the area. The only negative I found was the Men's toilets had no soap or hand towels in there, although there was an electric hot air drier."

"Lovely 'local' with a huge garden full of tables, perfect for warm summer evenings. Also good space inside with friendly service and nice food."
