"My friends and I arrived at the Russell Arms 15 minutes before their opening time on a Sunday, eager to have some lunch and drinks after a long and tiring hike around Coombe Hill and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. We were among the first to enter the pub and requested a table for three. To our disappointment, the lady informed us that they were fully booked. When we asked when the next available booking would be, she replied that the entire day was booked solid. We then enquired about seating outside and in the garden, but those were supposedly booked as well. Even a drink at the bar was off-limits even tough we'd be standing. Left with the bitter taste of rejection, we departed disappointed and ended up consuming the few snacks we had brought with us before continuing our hike. What added insult to injury was that as we passed by the Russell Arms a few hours later, we saw plenty of free tables. It left us feeling that they could have accommodated us, which marred an otherwise brilliant day of hiking. As a warning to fellow hikers and visitors, if you plan on going to the Russell Arms after your hike, make sure to book in advance to avoid the same disappointment we experienced. We ended up going to Wendover for lunch, where there are more choices and a much more welcoming atmosphere. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a post-hike meal."

Went here a couple weeks ago after seeing it being recommended on social media so I went and the food was ok but the atmosphere and staff was shocking. It was loud. I felt rushed. The staff were just blatantly rude. There were people pointing cameras every way we looked. No wheel chair friendly tables would not recommend

Went for a Sunday lunch here and couldn't recommend it more great pub decorated really nicely. Staff were all extremely polite and always anticipating our needs. Food itself was really tasty and looked great too. Managed to snap a picture of my halloumi starter but forgot to get one of the main because we were too excited to tuck in!!

The starters were enjoyable, and the main course, a burger, was satisfactory. However, there was no atmosphere as we were the only table. There was no drinks list available, and we were surprised to find that a bottle of wine cost £41.80, which we only discovered when the bill arrived. Providing a drinks list would help customers be aware of prices in advance. View menu

Was v excited to go, especially our 16 year old who follows daddy May cooks. An hour and twenty five mins after we ordered they told us that they didn't have the steaks which two of us had ordered. 12 year old almost asleep by the time the main arrived and we were so hungry. They apologised but still added service to the bill. Not what you expect when paying over £200 for a meal.

Unfortunately we weren't acknowledged at all when walking into the bar, no eye contact, smile or any indication that us, or others that walked in after, were there despite there being several staff behind the bar. The staff were young and looked uninterested. It took a long time to be noticed and served. The beers were very expensive and the place was lacking any atmosphere. The only good thing were the selection of board games available to play. I will not be rushing back I'm afraid.
