On a very pleasant, sunny Wednesday we took a couple of mile walk through bluebell laden woods to the Harte & Magpies.
Although a little breezy, it was warm enough to take a table outside and enjoy the sunshine while it lasted.
We haven’t been to the Harte & Magpies for a little while but thankfully they’re still selling Rebellion Smuggler so of course a pint was ordered.
I was fairly hungry after the walk and so chose the fish & chips whilst my wife chose a small goats cheese salad. When the meal arrived I nearly fell off my chair since the beer battered fish was enormous, with a good portion of chips and mushy peas in accompaniment.
The fish looked superb and didn’t disappoint, it was succulent and tasty and the batter was thin and crispy - perfect! I treated it as a bit of a challenge given the size and wouldn’t let it defeat me - it didn’t.
I understand that the goat’s cheese salad was very good too.
With another half of Smuggler and a coffee the whole meal came to just over £36 - very good value indeed.
Fish & chips and a pint and a half of Smuggler enjoyed in the sun - what could beat it?
Never have I been more grateful however for a lengthy, post meal, stroll back home.
Happy to recommend the Harte & Magpies if you’re after a proper pub delivering good food and ale in a relaxing convivial atmosphere.
First time at this pub and was impressed with the look of the place and the staff all very polite, the manager Steve served me, he was very warm welcoming and polite, complements to the chef all the food was fab and well worth the money and also was quick to serve. We will definitely be coming back, great location. Thank you Danny
First time I have been there, just had picky bits to eat but food was nice, and omg the onion rings were amazing. Staff were very nice
Group of 50+ people dropped into the pub for a quick afternoon drink. Bit of a mix up, landlord wasn't told beforehand. Although surprised, was very accommodating. Thank you.
An excellent country pub. Decent range of beers, and a traditional menu. Perfect if you're going for an amble round Hodgemoor woods.
I went with the pie of the day, and was pleasantly surprised that it was a proper pie with a full pastry case!
A light and airy pub serving traditional pub food. I enjoyed my chicken and ham pie and it was a real change from chicken and mushroom which you normally get in restaurants.
The pub owner was very friendly as were the bar staff and they have a well behaved labrador.
They serve Vale IPA, so nice to see a pub supporting a small brewery. Well worth a vist.
Called here for tea. We chose the burger, really tasty and plenty of chips come with it.
Someone on the next table had fish and chips, all I can say is wow, think a whale on a plate was served to them 😁
This is a hidden gem in Amersham. I love how friendly the staff and owners are. The food does not disappoint. The only downside for me is I can’t get there enough!!
Had a enjoyable lunch there yesterday...will go again.
Have been again and its just the same very good food and service.
Lovely pub. Friendly staff and even family dog "Scrumpy"paid us a visit at our table.Had a delicious home cooked ham, cheese and tomato baguette. There were musicians rehearsing so a pleasant bit of entertainment with lunch.
