It stated that the name is referring to the historical past of the building as the Chiltern Cinema.
The pub is set to open on December 2, 2025.
The Chiltern will feature a large rear terrace, front pavement terrace and an enclosed garden.
Wetherspoon's chief executive, John Hutson, said: ' We are looking forward to starting development work on the new pub.
'We are confident that The Chiltern will be a great asset to the town's social scene.'
There has been a mixed reaction to the news of a Wetherspoons opening in the town and there has been back and forth as to whether it would open.
JD Wetherspoon had purchased the building after the Prezzo closure and received planning permission from Bucks Council for a pub, the company then put it back on the market in August 2023, then u-turned in 2024 and received new planning permission to begin works this year.
