Gilbey’s Restaurant

Great restaurant. We had the £20 lunch two course set menu. It was fantastic and super value. Mussels to start, perfectly cooked in a lovely white wine & leek broth. I had the pork belly with all the trimmings. Again absolutely perfect, with the best pork crackling in the world. Staff are friendly and I enjoyed the service. Nice vibe, smart but not overly formal. A stand out meal for me and I will come back if I get the chance. Check out my pics, it tasted as good as it looked.

Boom! 5 stars baby! Stopped in here for their 2-​course set lunch — atmosphere, service, and food were all superb. The mussels starter were the super fresh and I can honestly say were the best mussels I’ve ever eaten in my lifetime. I enjoyed the broth with all of the super fresh leeks and carrots so much that I finished everything as if it was soup after I had eaten all of the mussels. All of the staff were professional, friendly and attentive. We overheard the manager having a very sincere and patient conversation with a much older couple that really liked chatting about how far technology has come — he couldn’t have been more respectful and sincere. You can also order any of the wines that they carry at wholesale prices — although we didn’t drink, we heard another table place an order for 6 bottles of the wine they had with their meal. Beautiful and charming English restaurant! We will definitely return the next time we are in Old Amersham.

Excellent food and very good value. Staff always friendly.
