The Griffin - (Near Buckinghamshire, london)

5 /5 Isra Rai: Came here for lunch with a friend. We are aware that Amersham has many amazing pubs and restaurants so it was stiff competition but we were absolutely blown away and happy with our choice. The whole menu looked delicious and left us struggling to choose. We decided on ordering from the set menu as it was entirely reasonably priced (~25 per head) for three courses- by the end you really are full and satisfied. Of course accompaniments like bread and drinks also add to the cost, however these are well worth it. The sourdough bread with maple butter was a standout- the sourdough is made fresh and so is still warm and lovely- but the butter was the standout. As soon as we tasted it, we each ate an even half of the butter provided- it is so moreish and indescribably tasty. We actually ordered a second round of bread just for the butter! The wine was also great, and waiters came around to to top off our glasses with the carafe even though it was next to our table in an ice bucket- excellent service. I also recommend a coffee with alcohol for afters- it is the perfect way to end a meal. We both ordered the fishcake starter, the wagyu burger main, and sticky toffee pudding dessert. All three were magnificent and surprisingly generous portions- although the starter and dessert were not massive they are so high quality that they satisfy you better than large flavourless slabs of food that you find at other restaurants. The fishcake had a fabulous tartar like sauce, and you could tell that the fishcake itself was hearty and not full of filler like many fishcakes at other places. The wagyu burger comes with skinny fries which are much appreciated (neither of us are a fan of the chunky fries epidemic), and has a delicious smoky flavour from the sauce and cheese. It was a huge portion and we need a rest break after finishing that course! Yet was, again, amazingly high quality. The sticky toffee pudding was magnificent, with a really flavourful gingerbread ice cream and candied pecans that gave a satisfying texture. Ambience and service was excellent. Waitstaff were polite, attentive, and friendly, and the rustic interior is well heated and cozy- perfect for enjoying a meal. The whole experience is well worth the price, which I think is extremely fair for what you get. If youre looking for a high end place to go for good food, go here.

4 /5 David Hester: Had many a dinner here, very good. Great wine . Sunday lunch is fantastic.

5 /5 Floyd Merrison: This was our first time here and part of a birthday treat for my wife. The Sunday lunch was the best weve experienced and a step better than the previous best that wed had. The service was also excellent.

5 /5 Jane St.Helier-Jones: Table for five & a baby on the 11th January, 2026! We are constantly searching for that near perfect, Sunday roast lunch. We found PERFECT! Typical roast with a twist of something tantalising in taste, presentation & service! Roast chicken & beef ordered. Tastes & textures exploded in your mouth! This chef is not a cook! Professionalism to a T! We will return again & again. On a par with The Mulberry in Chiddingfold. Exceptional! The delicious desert tastes….. lingered well on throughout the day.. along with our praise! Don’t miss out on this little gem… it’s a rarity!

5 /5 Ben Shillito: It’s easy to gift five stars when one experiences the Sunday roast at The Griffen. Attentive service, delightful atmosphere and food that is thoughtfully made and utterly delicious. My only complaint is that I cannot be here more often, it has been an amazing experience and one that I’m sure we will share and cherish. We will surely be back! Thank You.
