This is not really a restaurant, it's a pub and the food is served in the bar. A limited choice and it's basic food. There is a television in the bar and at the time we visited There was a football game on. There was also a group of people who were swearing and making constant exits to stand right outside the door and smoke. The past reviews are good which is why we chose it, mostly the reviews are overrated, if we new the area better we would have upped and left to find somewhere else. When it came time to pay there was a mistake with our bill as somehow two bills were added together. I'm not going to go back. Its overrated and not very clean or tidy enough for me

The Grocer at 15 is the second shop in Old Amersham from this partnership. Same great coffee, same great service, a mediterranean style menu and some delicious new cakes too. Eat in or take away.

We stopped in Amersham after a Sunday afternoon walk in the South Bucks Way. Too late in the day for a big lunch, especially when faced with the counter full of homemade cakes. My husband and I shared an open sandwich with avocado, feta, lime and chilli on thin-sliced rye toast. It was really tasty, but it was fully matched by the gorgeous coffee and walnut cake, a latte and a cappuccino. We sat at a table in the window and enjoyed everything. A

Friendlt, welcoming staff from start to finish. The menu was varied and creative. The food tasted awesome. Served beautifully. Prices are a little more than we pay locally, but when you have quality food and portions like we had and saw others. You dont mind. We eat out at least once a week and i can honestly say, that it was the best meal with extensive choicesThanks so much for taking the time out to review The Hit or Miss. It's kind of you to describe your experience as the "Best meal out ever!", we will make sure the staff team know this. Great of you to also mention how friendly and welcoming the staff were along with your kind words on the menu, taste and presentation. Please visit again soon and enjoy another meal with usâ¦

We had a great value Travelzoo voucher for 2 courses and a glass of fizz. The setting is idyllic, the young staff are lovely and very efficient and the food is fabulous. As we walked in I saw the Thai menu and assumed it was only available on certain nights, so was very pleased to be given this menu as well as the standard one as it was included in the deal. The curry was very pleasingly hot (maybe too much for some people but perfect for me!). A great place, and I hope to return.

This was our fourteenth visit in the last three years to the Artichoke and in that time have become good friends with owners Laurie , Jackie and head chef Ben. So therefore when the announcement came on Monday 7th October that they they had finally earned the distinctive honour of holding a Michelin Star âï¸ I couldn't have been more pleased. The food here has been so consistent and we've even noticed that on our last three or four visits this has definitely risen to the next level. The imagination and creativity using excellent local produce in order to put these fabulous dishes in front of their customers is amazing. Their front of house team has also been very good over the years which is now under the leadership of manager Jerek. Once we heard the exciting news we really couldn't wait to pay another visit and luckily that happened to be yesterday. So on a nice bright saturday we headed from east to west and enjoy another nice afternoon in the lovely little town of Amersham. As soon as we entered the restaurant you could still clearly see that everyone was still on a high from receiving the fantastic news. So after our nice friendly welcome we was escorted to our table in front of the fabulous wine rack which obviously used to be a fireplace. While we were given the menus to look through they poured us a glass of complimentary champagne as part of them celebrating the achievement with their customers. There are five menus to choose from the Lunch , A la Carte , Lunch Tasting Menu and a short six course and long eight course Tasting Menus. We decided to choose the eight course tasting menu as since it had been a few months since our last visit all the dishes were new.â©We started with the fabulous Chiltern Black Ale Bread which this time came with a Bee Pollen Butter. This was followed by a delightful little Amuse Bouche of Taramasalata , Cucumber & Kohlrabi to cleanse the palate before we moved onto our first course a Seafood Ravioli with Pumpkin Veloute & Sea Herbs. The next course was definitely one of the highlights a Truffle Choux Bun with Lincolnshire Poacher , Cep Ketchup & Salsify and with the mixture of hot and cold this dish was stunning. We then moved on to our next course of Pan Fried Duck Liver which together with Poached Quince & Spiced Bread was a little taste sensation. This was followed by the Atlantic Halibut with Squid , Mussels , Seaweed and a beautiful Shellfish Miso Now it was time for the main course to which their is a choice of two a Venison Saddle smoked with Douglas Fir and served alongside Venison Salami , Beef Dripping Potato , Red Cabbage & Beetroot and the other a Chalgrove Estate Partridge with a Black Pudding Tartlet , Morteau Sausage & Golden Raisins. Both dishes were amazing but I have to say my choice of the Partridge was without doubt the highlight of the day. During our little rest before we moved onto the next course it was nice of Laurie & Ben to come over for a quick chat and therefore gave us the opportunity to personally congratulate them on their prestigious award. Now we moved onto the cheese course a delightful little combination a Panna Cotta of Blue Murder with Roasted Walnuts , Black Figs , Apple & Celery. This led us onto a delicious palate cleanser of Poire William Sorbet with Poached & Pressed Pear a mixed seed Tuille & Vanilla Cream Cheese. Now it was time for dessert which was a very good Blackberry Baba with Somerset Apple , Brandy Ice Cream & Sorrel. This was paired with a Familia Castano Dulce Monastrell sweet wine with flavours of Plum Jam & Dried Figs which was nice & light and therefore a perfect match. We then finished with a coffee & Petit Fours to end a fantastic lunch. So another fabulous lunch at the Artichoke is brought to and one in which I'm looking forward to repeating again in the near future. It really is worth making the the trip to this great little town of Amersham and enjoy for yourself a fantastic dining experience at this amazing restaurant. Even if you can't make it for lunch you could stay overnight in one of the hotels on the opposite side of the road.â©Congratulations once again to all the team at the Artichoke on receiving a Michelin Star
