Valiant Trooper - Carte

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at this gorgeous pub. Homemade bowl food was delicious we have sampled the veggie chilli, onion bhaji, fish cakes and BEST, homemade chips no oven baked nonsense). Service with a smile and ice for our drinks on a hot day. Thank you

Newly opened, and the best is yet to come. This charming old pub has been reinvented by Rupert and Helen with a very high standard renovation. Currently only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for drinks and a very limited menu but with grand plans for a tea room, restaurant and farm shop. Watch this space…

I walked down to Aldbury from the Ashridge Monument for an early evening drink and was very disappointed with what used to be a charming pub. There was no cooked food available, and the man serving drinks in the garden was scruffy and unfriendly. Despite always preferring this small country pub to the other one in the village, I doubt I will be returning anytime soon. I fear that this pub may not survive much longer. Voir le carte

While biking by, I decided to stop by this restaurant tucked away in the back. I discovered a tranquil oasis with a lovely garden and was served a pint by the extremely polite and friendly staff. The enticing smell coming from the garden kitchen made my mouth water, although I wasn't able to try the food this time. I will definitely be returning soon to taste their dishes. Overall, it was a delightful experience and I highly recommend it.

I’ve attended this pub before when walking in the area so thought I’d return for a birthday lunch with friends. To keep in line with government COVID-19 guidelines I enquired over the phone about a table outside and asked if it had cover (the weather forecast was for showers). I was met by an incredibly patronising and rude man on the phone, who dismissed what I was saying and made me feel embarrassed to have asked. Really disappointing and put a downer on my birthday. I won’t be visiting this pub again.

I recently visited the newly renovated "Trooper" pub and was impressed with its beautiful decor and gardens. The drink selection, including wines and beers, was great. However, my experience with the food was a bit disappointing. The menu was confusing as it advertised BBQ but there wasn't much meat options available. The food was presented beautifully but was too fancy for pub fare. I would recommend this place for drinks and snacks, like crisps, but not for a full meal. To improve, I suggest adding simpler options like chips or wedges. Overall, a nice spot for drinks, but the food may not be for everyone. Voir le carte

Had been a couple of years ago and from what I can remember enjoyed a nice enough Sunday lunch. Visited again today and was slightly disappointed. Service wasn’t great either not enough staff or the staff weren’t attentive. Drinks order was taken very quickly but then drinks took A LONG time to arrive. We weren’t offered menu’s but assumed the menu was on the blackboard behind us. After nearly enough 1/2hr the waitress asked if we had ordered yet and then realised we had not been given the menu. We said we had decided and ordered. Food again took a long time to come. Tried to order drinks and were told the waitress would come back ‘when she could’. Had to wait again for cutlery etc to be bou...

Until yesterday, the Valiant Trooper was always our first choice when walking in that direction: good food and beer, lovely garden, relaxed welcoming ambience and friendly staff. Last week, we rang to book for lunch but were told they were only serving bar snacks. We asked if we could bring a picnic and were told we'd be welcome, so we had a wonderful first lunch of the season in a pub garden, if not exactly a pub lunch... Yesterday, friends were joining us for a long walk so we rang to check and were told still no cooked lunches, but fine to bring our own again. Beautiful walk from Pitstone HHill, re ady for lunch, we ordered our drinks and started upacking out picnic. One member of staff c...

First visit here for lunch with friends. Great location with so many lovely walks around it. Very friendly waitress who made every effort to be welcoming, take drinks and food order and deal with any issues. She was very very busy. One other man serving, but he didn't interact with us nor did he appear to be as busy as the waitress: in fact we saw him take his dog out for a walk whilst the waitress was serving. Good ales. Chalkboard menu, good range of dishes. Actual food was very disappointing- pastry on steak pie floppy and still raw in patches so we sent back to kitchen and ordered something else. Batter on fish was not brilliant, chips crispy but overcooked. Falafel very plain. BLT was o... Voir le carte
