The Saracen's Head Inn is steeped in history and character and was built using timbers from old ships. The building surrounds a central courtyard which was originally a travellers coaching inn. It was built in 1530 at Number 38 Whielden Street, which was formerly known as Union Street when Amersham Hospital was known as The Workhouse. And rumour has it, two ghosts roam the building, one is alleged to be a young serving wench from the 17th Century, the other one remains a mystery. The Saracens Head Inn is situated just a stone's throw away from the fashionable shops and boutiques in the High Street of Amersham Old Town.

We have stayed before and it was great. This time not so great, someone else's dirty socks left on the floor and the shower floor was very stained. Needs a good and proper clean. Could not of got an evening meal, as it was rammed packed with footballers and a Private Function in the garden. Staff are friendly and lunch time food was good. Won't be rushing back.

Stayed at the Saracen's Head last weekend with some friends - the pub is gorgeous and historical, the rooms were cosy and clean and the breakfast in the morning was very good. We all really enjoyed ourselves, and spent Saturday evening having food and drinks in the pub, the bar staff were lovely, and the pub was just really cosy and pleasant. It was exactly what we wanted from our overnight break.

This is a lovely pub in old Amersham, dating back to the 1500's. Inside it is clean and comfortable, and the service was very friendly. The walls are decorated with pictures of the town and surroundings on times gone by, which adds to the atmosphere. We had lunch there. The sausages were good and the mash was truly excellent. The burgers and chips were really nice too. Would definitely eat there again.

Amazing attentive staff. Friendly but professional & welcoming. The room we had was spacious & clean. The food, breakfast & evening meals, was excellent. The facilities available for the wake we also held were ideal. The separate marquee gave us a private & relaxing space for our gathering. The buffet was excellent, plentiful & tasty. Tea & coffee was refilled throughout the time we were there.
Although all this was faultless I must repeat that it is the staff that really add the extra positive aspect to this venue. I can't speak highly enough of them all. I recommend this as a place to stay and a venue for functions.
