I used to drink there in 1965 and after . Wondfull pub then, used to sit in the barrel room and the landlord used to come out and sit with the drinkers in those days on a winters night only maybe 6 or 8 of us. Happy memories.

Just shy over twenty quid for a great meal and a half pint in great surroundings, I think that is fair enough these days. Great vids Gary, thanks

I would pay the high prices to ensure the survival of a historic pub. It's also expensive these days to run older establishments as their heating and electricity bills tend to be higher than newer buildings.

It looked very nice gary,but as you said a bit pricey,i think if you had an extra sausage,bit more mash and some garden peas,it would be worth the money,great review as always gary! 👍🏻😁

Gary. The sausage did look a bit undercooked to me but will take your word on it being cooked through because you enjoyed the taste so much. The ingredients a looked really good but let down by the portion size of the mash. I know you got what you said was on the tin but the plate looked to lack a bit of greenery and think something like spring cabbage would be a welcome addition. You think it was a bit on the pricey side and I would agree but not overly so. I think £16 would be a reasonably price but with larger portion of mash. Overall I think I would score it 8/10.

*Excellent- and highly highly recommended 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* A fair review on the marks too. Chef needs mentioning again. Sounds like he believes in good food and it reflects in his plates ,bravo

honestly gary youre channel is amazing youre so laid back love watching this

I absolutely love the British pubs and may they reign forever. I thought a bit more mash to go with the luscious gravy and perhaps some veg would have supported the price. Thank you Gary for making me hungry again!!

I was a travel agent before I retired; the UK was my favor place to visit. I would gladly pay the 18GBP for that dish in that pub. The bits and pieces of the pub I can see...yes, its very old. Just exquisite.

I had a bit of a thing about Sausage ,mash and onion gravy back in the 90's and went down to England for a fishing holiday for two weeks . We ate out every night and I had the same meal in 14 different places from Norfolk to London to Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Herefordshire . I dont remember all of them now but I still recall that the worst was in North London , but the best was in Hay-on-Wye. I still remember it clearly and its serving of Home baked brown bread and butter on the side . A totally pointless story as I guess most or all the establishments are now gone but hope you tolerated reading haha

Thank you for another amazing review Gary. I could see how beautiful those sausages were but I do feel too expensive and also they really needed to add something extra on the plate to make it a meal. But a beautiful pub and I really enjoyed all the history you included too.

You could almost smell the old age of the place, the history coming out of those walls. That menu was amazing, did I see correctly a sharing meal for £80? How many share? That bangers & mash did look good, as you said a bit tight on the mash and some fresh garden peas wouldn't of gone a miss, I love thick onion gravy and it did look good, plenty of meat in the sausage with no unwanted grease oozing out! Because of the surroundings and the good cooking you can see where they get their prices from, but as it's all in house they must save on a number of things, so I would think a fairer price would be around £13.95, but as a one off and you've just won a tenner on the lottery, I'd give it a go! Well filmed and voiced review as usual!

Hi, thank you for the content. UK is definitely on the bucket list, and who knows if I would've ever even heard about the destinations you're sharing without seeing them here.

Thanks Gary!! Great review! It looked really good ‼️🥰🙋‍♀️🐾🐾‼️Blessings to you and yours❣️

That looked fantastic Gary,awsome! You can not beat bangers and mash with proper butchers sausage.Great review bud👍

Hi Gary great vlog as always my friend, loved your bangers and mash they looked real quality, and to make in house is amazing, that's why i think you paid a little extra. I was a bit shocked when uncle fester appeared at 5:04 in the back ground, it really must be the oldest pub in England. I love The Rose & Crown at 13 Lawrence Street York, there bangers and mash are amazing and made with red onions giving them a great sweet taste, plus they add herbs to the potato. Keep up the good work my friend, Chris.

Did most of my courting in this pub over 40 years ago, lovely building in a beautiful village, it looks just the same. Always was expensive but good value for money. Thank yoh for the trip down memory lane

Lovely pub. Like a time machine into the past. Bangers and mash spot on. Looked delicious. Nice video. Cheers.

I agree about the price Gary -a bit out of my league for bangers & mash but at least it was a quality home made meal & the pub itself is well worth a visit, even just for a drink as the decor is amazing and I love historical places and this was up there for sure.

Fantastic review ,Fantastic Pub for a special occasion, eating out is expensive, I would not say its excessive for a historic Pub of that quality and" The best bangers and mash you have ever had" if I am passing again I will be calling in.

Quite lovely I'd say!! Oh how my soul belongs in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❤ Thank you, loving your channel.

Great review Gary, for that price I would have wanted 3 sausages and like you said more mash. I will say this, I reckon these will be the same sort of prices when you go further up North, I’ve found food just as expensive as the South East. Keep up the great work!

Great review Gary and a great location. Have been there many times. Not cheap but have never had a bad meal. The Sunday roast is fantastic 😊

Love your videos, I love how down to earth you are and how you focus on the food keep up the great work

I love this place, been many times. Lovely beer on tap and some good traditional food.

Old pubs that have a traditonal fireplace are amazing and feel cozy on winter days. The food looks really nice. I wouldn't mind paying higher price for a memorable meal once in a while. Glad it isn't a tourist trap.

Longest B-roll of a Banger and Mash I've ever seen LOL but very effective :) well done for another great video Gary.

Great video, the first of yours that I've seen. I'll make sure to seek this one out when I travel to England. Subscribed!

I've watched so many of your videos lately and I have to say I always feel the hugriest when it's Bangers & Mash (I think your video quality make them look even better) . Always look really tasty. Forget the price, those sausages looked 'the nuts'.😁😎

Hi Gary, Big Mal here again of 'Lassi sweet ' tip, this is second time this week you've reviewed a place familiar to me, the sausage cafe at Pottursbury, where i live now, and Royal Standard of England in Beconsfield where i used to live near, but drank there years ago with the wife. That Bangers and Mash looked the Business. Nice memories. Good Luck mate. 🎉😊 Big Mal

Looks incredible, the presentation is beautiful, and that gravy looks delightful

Wow this is special. Fantastic place. Love the look takes one back in time .beautiful. Menu looks really good . Id be pleased to try there meals local British produce and humble meals .perfact 10🇦🇺😊

I’m going through all your reviews I haven’t seen so apologies for the late comment , that sausage and mash looked incredible but having looked at the menu I’d have gone for the steak and kidney pudding and what a fabulous looking pub , great review as usual my friend 👍

Thanks Gary you have just made our choice for dinner really easy.. looked amazing👍🏻

Looks great, I’ll definitely try when I’m passing next. Good review Gary mate.

Amazing building. I'd pay that for real sos n mash, n gravy. N beer. Love this vid. Work of art mate. Thanks.

What a lovely building to have a meal.Expensive bangers and mash but some this vs are worth the price as a treat

I enjoyed your shows, and now I must take a trip to England and go to that pub with my adult son! Looks amazing!🤩

Wow, great garden! That was really special for the Chef to come out and greet you. 18.95, not too bad.. agree would be better with more mash. No service charge was good. Best bangers and mash.. my mum and Dad's. Restaurant.. was at an old English owned cafe in the Bay. Local made sausages with butter cream mash and bacon onion gravy. Peas and carrots. Heart attack on a plate but worth it. Hope the cameraman got to nosh as well. He's got my maternal "Have you eaten today" fretting instinct on.😂😊 Much support and love to you both!❤❤❤❤❤

Looked delicious, agree it was a bit expensive though. Wonderful old building - that's why I like Europe so much, here in Australia we have only had European settlement for quite a short time in comparison so the age of your buildings is incredible. Kindest regards as always.

Hello Gary, you are finding such beautiful establishment's, the food could almost be an afterthought, almost 😊 Simple, done well is the strength of British catering ❤ whilst you were eating CTP could have had a wandered about the place showing his ability (😮) Unless the sight of the drooling, dripping, dribbling no longer has an effect on you? I'm putting myself in CTP's shoes 😂That's an old fashioned rib sticker meal 🍴 😊 Plump Porkiers,Silky Mashed Potatoes, Onion Gravy. My opinion, no need for chopped chives as garnish. A great looking plate of food. Over 900yrs old,we accept that prices will have gone 👆, but still a bit pricey? Maybe a 3rd sausage or something ,crusty bread&butter? Well worth a visit if only to view the place. Safe travelling, and to the next one, onwards Allan&Family ❤😊

Love going there in the summer. My favourite local pub.

I think the price was fare, the place is beautiful and the out goings must be huge . Well worth going for a special occasion 🤩. Oh I make a mean sausage mash and onion gravy ! See you in the next one Gary.🙏🏼💙🤩👏

My kind of meal. Looks amazing 👍🏻

That pub looked fantastic , food looked great also , i used to be a butcher and love my sausages ,they looked spot on . Only thing that would stop me buying that meal would be the price, but could be tempted lol .Good review again Gary

Always great content gary them sausages looked belting mate big piece of bread would of moped that gravy up pal 👍🏻

Have to go back for the bangers and mash, mate! We went for their Sunday roast, not cheap, but the quality is there. My favourite place for bangers and mash is Mother Mash. Another fantastic review, Gary and keep up the fabulous work!

Hi Gary, New to your channel and really enjoying your reviews which are honest, helpful and insightful. After seeing this one from the ‘oldest’ pub in England, thought you should try The Crazy Bear in Old Beaconsfield Town. It’s another really old establishment and has some weird and wonderful decor with, apparently, some amazing toilets! The food is supposed to be top notch, so it would be interesting to get your take on it! Once again, we’ll done on the reviews and keep up the excellent work! Cheers!

Yes Gary went their with a friend a few years ago and agree with you but we (did)find it rather expensive, but what the heck for a once off experience ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT😊

Lovely Pub...Good Food...Excellent.

Yes sausages looked bang on Gary, I do love bangers and mash with onion gravy, although I’ve not really had the privilege to order that as yet but I do make it at home. I would of been disappointed with the size of the mash though 😖

enjoyed that video Gary, maybe a little English mustard would have gone well with the bangers, best sausages I have had at home are from The Black Farmer, delicious and my go to, Cheers Mike

Looked really nice Gary but was a bit pricey , cud have done with another sausage bit more mash ,great video as always .We live in York hope you get to visit soon x

Worth it for the atmosphere and the food looked good.

bangers and mash, lovely, PS love your reviews. 😋😋

can not beat a open fire gary how comes there was loads of people in there yet when you had your food it was empty did the cameraman scare them off lol 900 years old love places like the the food lookd brilliant that did seem a lotof money for what you got to be fasir just as well there was noy a service charge theep them going as i said really looking forward to the ones you are going to do up north all the best steve

About a week ago I met up with some friends and we visited 'The White Hart Hotel' in Whitchurch in Hampshire and three of us had bangers and mash and it was also great with nice creamy mash and lovely sausages too. The gravy was nice too and they added a small portion of runner beans and peas with the onions. We had some really nice '3B' beer brewed by the Arkles brewery to accompany the meal. The sweet course was nice too. Very good indeed but I think your meal on this video is the best. The staff were extremely friendly at 'The White Hart' and I've been there a couple of times and really enjoy their food. Another great video and thanks for uploading. All of a sudden I'm feeling very hungry. 🙂

Those sausages look undercooked to me , a few minutes more on the grill is always safer . But it looks the business.

Afternoon Gary👍I was hoping those sausages tasted as good as they looked, yes the price point is an issue for many(me included) though I would say the quality looked superb and eating in that type of stunning environment must help ease the pain in the purse a little. Another great review Sir ✌️🍻

Been watching your videos this morning on holiday in Tenerife... ..great content Gary....thought this was a 10 though...you pay extra for quality and location

I was never thinking Gary was a 'BIG sausage fan'? for some reason? looks awesome !

Yes price was excessive but if it had been crap then id complain big time ut you were obviously amazed and happy and that's what counts

👀👀. Amazing building. 👌👍💯. I give them 10/9. Price inclusive of location.

Great call Gary sausauges looked amazing your score was fair as the sausages looked top notch ! For me, i would say 7.5 mainly based on the price, i can see it at £12 max never the less all the best to the chef !!

A piece of crusty bread for soaking up that gravy would have been handy. There was a pub similar to that in Norwich but unfortunately one half is now Wetherspoons and the other half a building society. Excellent review once again.

Whatever about the price I love the way it is presented. It just looks so good how they present it to the customer

Beaconsfield prices for you Gary - looked tasty but I agree with other comments on an extra banger and some more mash. 7 out of 10 for me due to the price point.

Thank you.....GREAT reviews....

As you say pretty pricey if you breakdown what you are actually getting for your money, but probably paying more as it’s an historic pub, also Beaconsfield is a lovely place but quite pricey too, not been there for years. The sausages looked a little herby for my liking, but that’s just personal taste, the main thing is you really enjoyed it and loved the pub, so money well spent.

I don't think I've ever bought sausage and mash in a restaurant but toad in the hole with mash is one of my favourite things to cook at home with red onion gravy and nice pork sausages

The Bangers and Mash and Onion Gravy looked great.

I think you're paying for the quality of the chef and lovely venue 🤑

What an amazing place to eat in, I think you pay a premium in such a place but so worth it

Looked delicious! At first, I thought, wow, only two sausages? I didnt realise how big they were,

I only found your channel recently Gary. I’m really enjoying it thank you. Unfortunately I’m on a budget and couldn’t pay that much for a meal for one. I love b&m and make it regularly for myself and my 2 daughters costing around €2.50 per portion. (I’m from Ireland) and that’s only because I get 6 premium sausages. Your plate of food looked lovely. However, to me it looked like a bowl of onion gravy with a child’s portion of mash which you couldn’t really see and 2 fine sausages on top. As you were eating, especially the combo bites you struggled to get the mash on cause it simply dropped off being so little and under a puddle of gravy. Great review though and I’m going on the hunt for more of your videos. 👍

My wife used to work there as a teenager and I've been there with her more recently. Lovely pub.

Those sausages looked slightly pink to me mate(I’m sure you’ll let me know in about 5 hours time if they were uncooked),and I prefer mine to be charred on top….. good review of a classic boozer though…… where was the English mustard!?!?

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. I am tempted to come over to Blighty from Canada for a pint or two. 😊

Another great review Gary. Food looks excellent, but £19 for B&M is pushing the limits of what I would pay, regardless of quality!

Its expensive to run a restaurant and you pay for ambience and the experience. The food looked incredible. Compared to mayfair, price not that bad. Good work ! See you in london one day!

Absolutely love Beaconsfield. Beautiful village and one of my favourites in England. Food looked good and I believe you get what you pay for. Homemade sausages - where do you get them nowadays? Solid nine out of ten from me!

My favorite place for pub style sausage with mash and vegetables and great gravy in Calgary is the Kensington Pub. They serve an entire coil sausage for your dinner. I have yet to finish the plate without taking a good portion home for later.

A snorker you would love to eat, no doubt!

It might be a little pricey, but I'd gladly pay just to enjoy the meal in such an amazing building! I bet if walls could talk, that pub has seen its fair share of incidents, good and bad. I wonder if it's supposed to be haunted? Excellent review as always there mate. Famous people who've filmed there include Ricky Gervais, Hot Fuzz, Midsomer Murders, and now... Gary Eats! 😂

Visited here last week, our 3rd visit, good as ever 👍

I live in Beaconsfield and I I love The Royal Standard but I’ve only been to The Royal Standard a couple of times but each time I’ve been I I’ve had a meal there, all the food is unbelievable with substantial portions 😊I’d go there everyday if I could

I’ve been to that pub, food, beer and atmosphere was excellent. Yes, it’s expensive, but worth it, especially for a treat now and then.

There's so many places that get good old Sausage and Mash so wrong, but that looks fantastic and chopped chives on top as well!!!! Lets hope that no Ghosts were trying to nick your mash Gary?? The best Sausage and Mash I have ever had was at the Sarancens Head at Halsall near Ormskirk in Lancashire, a great pub on the banks of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and the food was to die for, and all local produce, meat, fish and vegatables. Alas, since Covid its never been the same and haven't been for over a year...very sad!

Looks absolutely delicious!!!!!!

Methinks the pub is trading on its popularity and changing high prices accordingly. Way too expensive for a small portion plate of bangers & mash that didn't include peas and condiments.

Fantastic looking pub. Meal looked great also but, as you said, £18.95 for sausage and mash is extremely expensive.

Funny you should mention Midsummer Murders, I was thinking you look a bit like Bergerac! 😂 meal looked amazing.

I must visit that pub one day . I agree with your opinion , Gary .. £ 19-00 for bangers and mash is a bit too expensive and could have had twice that amount of mash to soak up the gravy . The menu looked good , Gary . How about trying the steak pudding next time . 👍😍

Looks good, glad they source food locally and make their own sausages. For the money tho, could they not have thrown in a side dish of mixed veggies or something? Pub looks amazing. Great review👍7 outta 10 from moi😊

Pub from the outside, Church in the inside 😂 The food looked great, but your spot on, I thought it was expensive for the size of the meal, I would have knocked another point off to be honest, as I don't think it was worth more than £11.95? Or does that sound harsh without actually eating it? Great review & one of the most unique places I've seen to eat! Definitely church vibes I thought... They know what they are doing obviously, & did look quality 👍 Cheers Gary all the best! 🍻

I would agree with your rating. Stunning, atmospheric setting, first class food but too expensive for most. Good for a treat. Nice one Gary.

That looked sensational, and though at the higher end of the price bracket, I'd say it was worth it! I would pay that for a good, hearty meal! Bangers and mash are on the menu tonight for us! We were going to have them last night, but had a visitor so a change in the menu was made! I hope my mash turns out as good as that looked! And yes, there'll be onion gravy! I will also be adding broad beans (from our own garden) and carrots, as we do love our veggies! The sausages we get are country pork, made locally by an award winning artisinal butcher - they work out at around $4 NZ per banger, so not cheap, but very much worth it! (I cook 4, but only eat one while hubby has 2, saving my second for breakfast tomorrow! A good excuse for an egg and sausage sandwich!)

It looks delicious!!!

Looking at the hammered beam ceilings, I'm guessing it's probably a listed building and costs more than most pubs to maintain, hence the high prices. You didn't mention the price of the beer, and I'm guessing that wasn't cheap either. Like a few other people in the comments, I think an extra vegetable would have been fair, although the plate looked very big so maybe there was more than met the eye. Great review, Gary.

Its been there since 1200 ish, that"s staggering! Robin Hood used to have a pint and a game of darts!
