A lovely historic pub with ample parking, ample interior space, lovely beer garden and friendly staff. The Sunday roast was delicious, adequately portioned and reasonably priced. An enjoyable lunchtime experience.

Booked originally for two (plus pup), increased at short notice to 5 and had a lovely bright table. Interiors look lovely and garden has had a big face lift (not that it needed it) but much improved. Food excellent, staff helpful and friendly.

We have eaten in this lovely country pub and restaurant a few times now and have never been disappointed. The service is friendly and efficient, the decor is just lovely and the food is delicious. We had a table outside this time and what I love is that those tables were dressed just as nicely as the ones inside. There is a good attention to detail and standards that seems to remain across the years. We will be back!Thanks for your kind review Jane, we love offering people an experience beyond their expectations so we can keep seeing the same smiling faces returning time and time again. Our Summer service in the garden is quite special, but if you are looking to see something exceptional, you should see us at Christmas!The Bel & the Dragon team.

We drove up to Cliveden which was a delight as the scenery was beautiful and parked outside which was even better. We were greeted and shown inside and waited while the resturant opened had a couple of fabulous cocktails in the most fantastic room full of wood carvings and a slight Tudor feel. We had a lovely table with a glorious view out to the garden the food was incredible the service was impeccable and our waiter was most charming. There was light piano music in the background which was lovely. The butter on the table was so nice they make it themselves on the estate. I will defiantly be going back. Dear Teresat753Thank you for the fantastic review, I am delighted that you have enjoyed not only the food but the Cocktails before hand too!The views over the Parterre are to die for, and I am so pleased that you have enjoyed them as much as I do!We look forward to welcome you back, Sincerely, Francisco

Whilst visiting Cookham decided to call in this cosy pub for dinner. We hadnât made a reservation but the nice guy behind the bar found us a table. The eating area inside isnât massive but is comfortable and the food we ordered was delicious. I had the fish and chips and my husband opted for the homemade pie. We visited on a Wednesday evening and it was busy. There appeared to be a lot of locals just having a drink which is a good sign these days. Anyway, enjoyed our first visit and found the staff to be friendly. Will visit again in the future.

This place is a gem! There was a warm welcome and a comfortable seat in the slightly squashed dining room. A beautiful creamy risotto to start with just a hint of chalkiness. Then a celeriac veloutee amuse bouche - aromatic and smooth. The beef I had was cooked just right, flavoursome and reasonably tender - much better than the menu price would suggest. A trio of elegant deserts finished off a fine meal, especially considering the modest bill - rightly inflated with a top for the impeccable service. 5 stars from me!

Saturday lunch for 5. Starters superb. Chicken liver parfait and smoked mackerel pate excellent. Main courses great. Cannot comment on puddings as we didnt have any. Service excellent. Slightly expensive but still value for money. Definitely a place to return to.

On a lovely sunny day we decided to eat outside. Last roastof the season we thought. The food was cold as we got it. They should really heat the plates. Large chunk of stewing beer which was rare and not pleasant to each cold. Very fatty. Tiny portion of veg and Yorkshire pudding dried out. Gravy was a kind of sugary treacle. Overall the roast didn't taste of anything. £15 is probably the going rate but it didn't seem like good value for money.

We called in here for a meal after visiting Cliveden and from the moment we opened the door the welcome was friendly. The new owners have refurbished the place and are great hosts. We ate a delicious meal - there is a decent choice on the menu and the portion sizes were perfect.
