"Negatives: I did not feel welcome by most of the staff at Brewers Fayre High Wycombe. I was staying there for work related business with my son and I am a person of colour. There were a few occurrences that happened. I went to the counter where two staff members saw me enter and didnt greet me and there was a Caucasian Family behind me. The Young lady wearing glasses at the counter totally ignored me, and looked straight at the family and asked for their order. The family looked over at me and said to her , 'This lady came before us '. I went in for Dinner with my son, we placed at a middle table and I asked for a different table in a corner. We already had a reservation. The young man told us several tables were reserved. I didn 't have a problem with that. Found a nice table in the corner and then My son and I were left there for 20 minutes. Other people were being served and no one came to ask us what we wanted to drink. I had to go up to one of the servers and ask for someone to come and serve us. After that, all we were getting was attitude by the staff. One girl even rolled her eyes at me. I understand they were probably busy, but customer service is important. Another time I asked for my plate to be wrapped, the lady I asked seemed annoyed and dropped all the forks and spoons in a bucket of water. If she had said, 'Yes of course, please give me a minute while I wash my Hands '....which she didn 't. I felt like Hygiene is not being practiced there. The establishment was not very clean. I have put up pictures of the plate I was served food on and the wall that looked dirty. The Establishment needs a deep clean. Positives: The Manager, her name is TASH, she was the first one I met on the first day and she was so welcoming and I could feel her genuine positive Energy. Her staff could learn a few things or two from her about hospitality. She was really welcoming. The food was tasty. I ordered the Thai Chiken Curry several times and my son had burgers and he enjoyed it. Even the young lady called Casey, I briefly bumped into was very nice. But I have to say that Tash has been consistently welcoming everytime I have entered her establishment."

"We love the Crooked Billet, and visit very frequently all year round. This is why: 1. It is a pub obviously deeply loved by its Landlord and Landlady who have been in residence for over 30 years. 2. The garden is spectacular (and award winning! always full of colourful bedding plants. Perfect on a sunny day, with covered areas when needed. 3. The inside is warm and inviting, with lovely old English traditional decor. It feels very snug in the winter with the log burner on. 4. The staff are great, very helpful and always make us (and our dog feel very welcome. Your dog will instantly love it as they will likely be offered biscuits by the Landlord!! 5. The food is great, and excellent value. There is a noticeable difference in how much less you spend to feed the family at the Crooked!! There is an excellent variety of traditional pub fare (served lunchtimes only on offer. My favourites from the Monday to Saturday include the Billet Burger and Gammon…and on Sundays, the roast dinner. Booking highly recommended as I see walk ins often disappointed to find it fully booked!!! 6. If you like traditional deserts, this is the place…great size, and amazing value!! 7. There is a nice selection of wines and beers (including the traditional ales Timmy Taylors and Youngs . 8. Just by the pub is a public footpath leading into lovely woods, with various trails where there is a good chance of seeing deer and other wildlife. Some of the paths are circular bringing you back in 30 mins to an hour. In particular (not on a map one route at the top brings you out onto a permissive path (owner allows access leading along the outside of the woods with outstanding views of Thames Valley….you then dip back into the woods at the end and can circle back….one of our favourites!! Enjoy!!!"

"Well, have been to this place a total of 5 times, first time was good, nothing special but value for money was alright and I couldn’t fault them so naturally we thought lets go back, then second time not amazing, asked for half a duck to find shards of bone in the food. Most places have the bone in the pot which isn’t an issue, but shards of bone which is hard to go through all the shredded meat to decipher wasn’t amazing. Third time ordered beef in black bean sauce beef was as tough as a leather shoe so i stopped getting that option. Fourth visit decided to opt for chilli beef as the other two disappointed me and my partner to find the smell and taste of fish which i am sure was due to frying in the same oil as fish which ruined that food. Fifth time (probably thinking why bother due to the previous visits, well sometimes rough patches can happen to businesses especially due to covid so always give places another chance plus the value of food is a factor) was today, to be quite frank I didn’t order anything, 6pm rang to order 2 portions of ribs and a chow mein. To be told can’t collect until 9pm. That is absurd! How can it take 3 hours to COLLECT a simple order??? Finally to add the last 3 visits has consisted of gradual terrible customer service. Today and the time before has taken a total of 1.5 hours of ringing time as they don’t answer the phone. When you do get through the response from front of house greeting is as joyful as talking to dry old cardboard in other words you get more joy from a pull bearer at a funeral. Safe to say I won’t be going back there. A total shame as they could do a lot better if they change their staff and standards as the first visit was good."
