Reviewing BANGERS AND MASH at the 'OLDEST PUB IN ENGLAND'!

Today, I'm reviewing the oldest pub in England... or so they say. There's always been a battle regarding which pub is the oldest between the Royal Standard of England in Beaconsfield along with Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham and Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans but I'm going to try one regardless... a bit pricy. Was it worth it?

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!!

[@GaryEats]

I agree with you that would make it perfect

[@user-zx1pc9eq8w]

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.

[@GaryEats]

That's a fair point. Thanks for watching!

[@dentydent6423]

Too right,it’s not a pokey cocktail bar. It’s a pint in a bit of history ,worth the extra shillings

[@edteach3r]

Well said!

[@josepherhardt164]

I don't want to know how much it costs to heat a place like that for an English winter. I live in Richmond, Va., in a 1950's-era house with a gas-fired boiler system, and during bad Januaries and Februaries the gas part of the utilities can threaten $400.

[@patterdale4332]

My electric is £250 per month and gas £350 per month that's with underfloor heating and a huge gas boiler although it's a large house it's still expensive

[@simonjones7766]

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! 👍🏻😁

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Simon. I completely agree with you.

[@780jodie]

i agree

[@Dusyanya]

Surely, when it comes to food, it's the quality, not the quantity.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@jeremyalexander8442 Totally agree!

[@jeffreyday4004]

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

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Jeffrey!

[@KeefsCattys]

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

[@GaryEats]

Of course. I love reading comments so I appreciate the longer ones to get stuck into 😊

[@thekitowl]

Your story isn’t pointless because many of us have great memories of meals & they won’t be forgotten. It was nice reading your memories.

[@CatherineDover]

Not pointless at all I love reading the comments. Cheers!

[@uglenddalejones2]

*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

[@GaryEats]

Agreed. The chef was very friendly and informative as well. Thanks for watching!

[@waynefoulkes2017]

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

[@GaryEats]

Honestly appreciate that so much Wayne. Thank you mate.

[@charlielarton]

Yes like my wife. She lays back

[@johnoconnor7536]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Very fair comment. I didn't mind the sausages like that but can understand why others prefer it a bit more cooked. Thanks mate, hope you're well!

[@davidmansfield5602]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Brilliant story. Thanks for sharing - a truly wonderful pub!

[@CatherineDover]

Great story, thanks

[@Deadman-rt8dq]

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!

[@GaryEats]

A very good assessment and one that I completely agree with. Thanks Deadman :)

[@dejah85]

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

[@GaryEats]

Thanks so much and this pub is lovely

[@leeirvine1784]

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!

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Lee, appreciate that mate. I really hope not, that's a big reason why I'm going up there haha. We will see and thank you again :)

[@stephaniewhite9526]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for your kind words as always Stephanie. Always very appreciative!

[@robertleach9120]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Agreed Robert. In all honesty, the location was a bigger pull than the food. Beaconsfield is quite expensive... thanks Robert. Hope you're well in Oz.

[@michaelcrowhurst3722]

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

[@GaryEats]

Totally agree with you. Needs to be at least £4 cheaper and I would say that's fair. Thanks for watching!

[@johnmc3862]

If you can afford it you pay for a once in a lifetime experience!

[@RoderickSpoke]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Well said! Hope you enjoy when you visit!

[@malcolmbrooks2696]

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

[@GaryEats]

How you doing Malcolm? This is a superb pub mate

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

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 ❤😊

[@GaryEats]

I agree Allan. Just a bit too pricy for me but the food was excellent. I think it's a great place to go to if you're interested in your history! Hope you're well my friend.

[@noobsabbot1133]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy your stay in the UK.

[@geordiejones2]

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.

[@martindunstan8043]

Uncle Fester 🤣🤣👍

[@GaryEats]

I laughed out loud at Uncle Fester. Location was also a big reason why the price was so high but I do agree that because it's made in-house that it was a bit more expensive. I will have a look at the Rose & Crown, I do already have a few places on the list so I will see if I have time. Cheers Chris, have a good one!

[@suecastillo4056]

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

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.

[@GaryEats]

Oh yes. It's a lovely place.

[@karenclancey2557]

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.🙏🏼💙🤩👏

[@GaryEats]

Yes it was! See you on the next one Karen!

[@rbr2023]

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 😊

[@GaryEats]

Excellent news - glad you enjoted it also. May have to go back and try it!

[@dannygeorge7909]

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!?!?

[@GaryEats]

All good mate. No problems on this side. Needed some bread and mustard, good point.

[@Brua58]

I agree they did look undercooked 😮

[@patrickbrett1552]

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

Glad you enjoyed it Patrick. Was really good!

[@stevenspraggs4953]

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

[@GaryEats]

Agreed Steve. I sat in another room with the cameraman so that we're not disturbing other diners! Although... the way he was dressed on the day probably scared them off haha. Completely agree with you, going up North tomorrow. Can't wait

[@michaelclarkson2218]

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. 🙂

[@GaryEats]

Very nice Michael. Glad you enjoyed it, might have to give it a go!

[@TelThePower]

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! 🍻

[@46joe]

£11.95 for a couple of sausages...! 😂🤣

[@TelThePower]

@@46joe I know right? I think Gary paid £18.95 please correct me if I'm wrong... It's too much in my opinion, Gary's channel is great though 👍

[@TelThePower]

@@46joe I just saw your a Pans people fan, I love their dance to "Do the hustle" it's honestly one of there best 👏

[@GaryEats]

Hi Tel. I think if it was £3/4 cheaper then it would have been a 10 but it's clear that the location has added more on. Understandable given that the location is truly excellent but the price was a bit of a minus. Have a good Sunday mate.

[@46joe]

Yes they are the best ...also legs n co. some of my videos are crap quality, but there are better ones on you tube..... I love all the routines shame Ruth, Flick, Louise and Andi are no longer with us.@@TelThePower

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MattWilliams482]

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

[@GaryEats]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ngatiramona]

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!❤❤❤❤❤

[@GaryEats]

Mum's bangers and mash is always the best without fail. The cameraman didn't get to eat today as there was none left for him but he will no doubt have more when I visit York tomorrow! He's very appreciative that you look out for him. Thank you Mona!

[@Warriorking.1963]

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! 😂

[@GaryEats]

You've absolutely nailed it. It's a beautiful pub and building... haha you are too kind my friend!

[@heidifogelberg3544]

Honestly, as a person who lives in the US but has been lucky enough to visit the UK (and other places) in the past, it's well worth the extra couple pounds for a vacation meal. I wouldn't blink at it - I'd be talking it up to everyone I knew as a high point of my trip if things tasted as nice as you say. For a regular neighborhood pub meal, the standards are clearly different, because the meal you ate is a quick casual lunch-level thing and in that case it's on the high side for regular use, but if I am lucky enough to come back to your country in the future, I'll be looking this place up.

[@Martin_Priesthood]

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

[@GaryEats]

A good way of looking at it Martin. Thanks for watching!

[@Martin_Priesthood]

@@GaryEats 🙏👍👌.

[@Dusyanya]

Gary - I'm going to dis-agree with you on this one. If you enjoyed each and every component of this meal - as I believe you did - then it deserves a TEN ! It really doesn't matter whether it's sausage and mash or beef Wellington - with that degree of enthusiasm and enjoyment, nothing less than TEN will suffice. At under £20.00, a meal that gives such satisfaction must attract the perfect mark.

[@GaryEats]

Fair enough! Thank you :)

[@annecunnings7886]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for watching Anne. Glad you enjoyed it. Also plenty of things that Australia has over Europe... would love to visit.

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!

@GaryEats absolutely amazing...my British skin is struggling though 😀

[@marke.blewer1279]

Hi Gary, I have been following you for a while now, but this is the first time I have commented. I think you have to take into consideration where you are eating, Beaconsfield, is a very expensive area and I would imagine most of the locals can afford it. If it was the best sausages & mash, you have ever eaten, then it was probably worth it. It's strange that the majority of us will happily pay £15.95, for indifferent or mediocre sausages & mash, but would consider £18.95, for the best sausages and mash, we have ever eaten to be expensive, If it was as good as you suggest, I don't think the price was excessive and I'm a pensioner, I think you have to pay for the best. Good luck on your travels and keep up the good work, all the best.

[@GaryEats]

Hi and thanks for commenting. Always appreciate comments and it's good to hear from you. Really appreciate that and I completely agree with you. I would say that it's still probably a little bit too pricy but on the whole, I had a lovely experience. Thank you for watching!

[@Nigel-fy5jg]

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.

[@GerwynDavies-vy7gk]

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

It’s a fantastic pub a little pricey but top quality Gerwyn

[@andrewroberts4736]

That is an amazing building!! £18.95 for bangers and mash is over the top. I still think, despite being home made sausages, they were a bit under done. I'm old fashioned, pork should not be pink. As always you give a fair review and I totally understand your score but I would not be able to score that high at that price. I would only be able to give an 8 at that price. Your content is so good. Please keep going!!

[@GaryEats]

I think you're spot on Andrew. The price was a bit of a shame as I think if it was a few quid cheaper - it would have been a ten. Anyways, onwards and upwards and I really appreciate your kind comments.

I think I saw £21.95 for fish and chips on the menu!!!!!😯

[@GaryEats]

Correct! @@andrewhayes7055

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.

[@GaryEats]

I do agree with you Graeme. Lovely location but the price let it down!

[@maireynon3763]

I love your channel.only thing it makes me so hungry lol and I'm trying to diet lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@GaryEats]

Sorry!

[@danieldydzak691]

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!

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Daniel see you soon 👌

[@chrislazarou7491]

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

[@GaryEats]

Spot on Chris. Hope you're well!

[@richardbowness1595]

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

[@GaryEats]

Hello Richard you could order three but no need as two were big enough

[@jshaers96]

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.

[@GaryEats]

I agree. I think to justify the price, it needed a little extra. Thanks for watching!

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. 👍

[@GaryEats]

Hello Philip. Firstly, thank you for commenting and subscribing! I will agree with you that the portion of the mash wasn't great and therefore I had to mark it down. Thank you very much and hello to Ireland (I'm half Irish myself)!

[@fionacotter4287]

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!

[@GaryEats]

It really is Fiona. Lovely place - Thanks for watching!

[@josepherhardt164]

That looked wonderful. Probably had everything in it that doctors tell us to stay away from. Now I'm hungry all over again.

[@GaryEats]

Great stuff!

[@user-wv8cs4si4n]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Karen. Really beautiful historic pub!

[@michaelmcloughlin3127]

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

[@GaryEats]

Yep. Superb!

[@silviodawson3414]

I don't want to turn you into a alcoholic Gary! Just because we Italians have wine with everything 😂 Great review, amazing looking food...what a joy you are ! Anyone who disagrees, watch sky news instead .. that will cheer you up!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Silvio lol, I won't mention it anymore and I love Italian food so perhaps that's next on the menu

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

Thank you. Please do come over!

[@ShirleyT-Keela]

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😊

[@GaryEats]

Yes, it needed a bit more to justify the price. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewburton9643]

Looked lovely that 👍👍👍

[@GaryEats]

It was!

[@rubusroo68]

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

[@GaryEats]

Sorry for the late response, sounds delicious!

[@GrahamFrench247]

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.

[@GaryEats]

It’s superb Graham. A wonderful pub!

[@craigwignall8450]

Mmm a bit expensive Gary but you pay for quality great review 👍

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Craig. A bit of a shame about the price. 👍

[@Phife_Diggy]

The best bangers and mash I had was from a brothel in Manchester, he was a nice bloke 😉🤣

[@GaryEats]

LOL.

[@Redsaxophone11]

Gary, I think that was a fair mark overall. Nice to see no service charge added which sort of makes up for the somewhat pricier meal. I would be interested to know whether the sausages were coarse-cut or not, they looked rather coarse-cut in the video. I am not a fan of coarse sausages and that would make all the difference to me as to whether I would order this meal or not. The gravy did look really excellent, and as you mentioned, a little extra mash would not have gone amiss as it's quite cheap and relatively easy to produce and would have added to a meal of better value. Great review nevertheless, keep them coming, please.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you my friend :)
