British, Modern Restaurants in Flaunden
1. Artichoke
British, Modern restaurant in Amersham
9 Market Sq - HP7
Laurie & Jacqueline Gear’s “fabulous, classic restaurant in Old Amersham” has long been a hit in our annual diners’ poll and was in the top-40 most mentioned restaurants outside London this year. “Laurie’s personality shines in his delightful food” – “a remarkable range of menus (including brilliant vegetarian options)” with the entry-level offering being a three-course selection for £95 per person. Service is “really efficient and also very warm” and “wines are paired with intelligence and insight” (although “chatty sommelier” Valentin recently left the business).
2. The Grocer at 15
British, Modern restaurant in Amersham
15 The Broadway - HP7
2024 Review: This “great local” has had an up-and-down time of it of late, with the Gerrards Cross branch under new management, and The Grocer at 91, which had pivoted to being a food shop in the pandemic, now closed. On the plus side, this “very busy” outpost is still going strong with its “reliable” (if pricey) sandwiches, salads and toasties, and they also recently opened a new Amersham venue, The Grocer at 2 (Whielden St), spanning a grocery store and café.
3. Gilbey’s
British, Modern restaurant in Amersham
1 Market Sq - HP7
2024 Review: “Tasty bistro food” is enjoyed in the “lovely setting” of a seventeenth-century former school in Old Amersham, a “cosy” local spot opened by the Gilbey’s gin dynasty 35 years ago. Founder Michael Gilbey passed away in summer 2022, and his widow, Lin, has put the site up for sale. (She also runs its sister restaurant in Eton.)
4. The Stables at The Grove
British, Modern restaurant in Chandler's Cross
Away from the main property, with a terrace facing onto the golf course, this casually luxurious venue is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and would suit a smartly dressed-down weekend family meal. With its brasserie menu incorporating a selection of burgers and chicken and steak grills, fans “prefer it to the generally more highly rated Glasshouse at the same venue” although even some who mark it highly say: “it’s good, but some of the prices are just far too high”.
5. Bistrot Twelve Twenty
British, Modern restaurant in Amersham
34 The Broadway - HP7
You are advised to order 2-3 dishes apiece at this “lovely, little place in old Amersham”, praised consistently for its “brilliant small plates in a small space, and an excellent quirky wine list”. “Very friendly and welcoming” service adds to the experience. Top Tip – “Fantastic weekend brunch with great options that go beyond the norm”.
