About This Pub

Ah, Yates in High Wycombe – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its lively buzz and welcoming feel, right in the heart of town. I've got to say, it's brilliant for catching up on the big games; the screens are everywhere, making it a go-to for footie fans or anyone keen on rugby or Formula 1. The staff are gems too – you know, the sort who remember your name and make sure you're sorted, like that helpful Nathan or the chatty Nick who's a highlight on certain days. And when the food's on form, it's a treat; those loaded fries and BBQ burgers can be spot on for a satisfying meal with friends. But, let's be honest, it's not perfect – I've heard tales of dishes coming out a bit overdone, which can put a dampener on things, so maybe stick to the safer options. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon or evening out, as long as you're up for a bit of give and take; pop in for the atmosphere and sport, and you'll likely have a great time, but keep in mind it might not always hit the mark with the grub.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home, like chatting with mates behind the bar.
  • It's a top spot for watching sports; with loads of HD screens and projectors, you'll catch every bit of the action from football to rugby without missing a beat.
  • The food hits the mark on good days – think delicious loaded fries and mouth-watering BBQ burgers that leave you wanting more, perfect for a casual bite.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, especially during the day or for events, with a relaxed vibe, a beer garden, and even pool tables for a bit of fun.
Cons
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some meals might turn out overcooked and disappointing, like tough grills that don't live up to expectations.
  • It might feel a tad crowded during big events, which could make it tricky to find a seat or get served quickly.
  • The family-friendly policy means it's best visited earlier in the evening, as things wind down for younger ones after 7pm, which isn't ideal for a late-night gathering.

I beg any one who reads this review takes my advice and please get the bbq burger and add the brisket and bacon. If your a fan of spice, get the angry fries (dont underestimate them, they ARE angry). Get the aioli fries if your not into the ‘angriness’, theyre the same thing with no spice. The staff? Amazing, freindly and so helpfull especially shamack. I couldnt have asked for a better person to serve me

Nick was an amazing guy, love chatting with him. The manager was to nice. Had to order multiple times to try and keep talking with Nick. Amazing dude honestly, 100% recommend. (Mondays and Fridays are the days I’ve stumbled upon him)

Have popped in a few times and it's OK. Good for watching a lot of sport due its many TVs and it also has a few pool tables.

Me and the work lads went for a meal after a long days graft the menu is just your obvious pub grub thought it’d do as we didn’t want to walk far from the digs and my god it was awful. My mixed grill was like chewing through cremated rubber and my mates fish platter looked like ass. Sack the chef. Sort yourselves out. All the best 👍
