Spindle & Thread in High Wycombe

Ah, Spindle & Thread – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in High Wycombe, you know? From the moment you walk in, the staff are so chatty and efficient, making sure everything runs smoothly, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or settling in for the evening. The food really steals the show; we've got rave reviews about the carvery and desserts, with meals coming out hot and tasty, leaving everyone with clean plates and smiles all round. It's dead handy being dog-friendly too – you can bring your furry friend to enjoy the beer garden on a sunny day or snuggle up inside by the fire when it's chilly. They're spot on for families as well, with events and a play area that keeps the kids entertained while you relax. On the flip side, though, the drinks do feel a smidge expensive compared to nearby spots, so it might not be the best for a budget night out, and it can get a bit lively at times, meaning you might have to plan ahead for a table. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed get-together or a Sunday roast, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're after good grub and a welcoming feel – just keep an eye on that drinks bill!
