The Metropolitan in Amersham has emerged from a recent renovation with a clearer identity and renewed confidence. The garlic bread and crispy fries have their devotees, the burger and club sandwich satisfy those after something good without pretension, and the whole atmosphere has a lively, music-forward energy that makes it a natural destination for an evening out. Staff are friendly and attentive, the building offers multiple rooms that accommodate different moods, and the large beer garden at the front provides useful outdoor space.
New ownership has brought ambition to the menu and a fresh spirit to the operation, and while the kitchen continues to develop its definitive voice, the warmth of the team and the quality of the better dishes point in an encouraging direction. Close to Amersham-on-the-Hill station and recently renovated, The Metropolitan is a pub with good instincts and a room that tends to be full of people enjoying themselves.
