The Bugle Horn in Hartwell is a country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character. Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

The Bugle Horn started life as a farmhouse, but during the early 1800s it was used as a wine store for Hartwell House, whilst Louis XVIII of France lived there in exile. Soon after we became known as the Plough, our current name comes from the fossils of the same name that can be seen in The Bugle Horn's walls.

Many visitors to nearby Aylesbury like to stop off at The Bugle Horn for its warm, cosy interiors and its large gardens. Our name comes from the distinctive fossils incorporated in the pub walls.

We don like the bugle Horn . But don't book via open table . They never had our booking . on their booking number or our name . I did receive the confirmation e mail and reminder . But they didn't have a record of it .So we got seated in the bar area Where we were on our own . The reception was quite cold could not accommodate us in the restaurant . We know it's a busy vintage in . They definitely not rushed off their feet . So that dammped little bit the whole experience

Considering the restaurant was very quiet it took a long time for the food to come. However, it was a good overall experience and the staff were very friendly

Service ok although always takes an age to get served at the bar. Food presentation good but steaks way over cooked and fatty. Prawns rubbery. Crisp salad. Potatoes tired.

We booked the table for mothers day through Open table but when we contacted the to ensure the table was booked they said they had not received the Opentable booking, despite us receiving a confirmation booking from Opentable and had no places available! Clearly we were very unhappy and disappointed as we had relative coming from a great distance to meet for Mother Day and we had to find somewhere else to go at short notice. This has now happened twice at the same restaurant.

Just about ok, but as we have plenty of nicer places to choose from I don’t expect we will return soon. Table not wiped, too few staff so they were very busy and tired (but they did their best). Food disappointing. Have heard several people say the same. A pity, as it was much improved following the recent revamp, but it’s now back as it was.
