Bridge Pub in Bracknell Forest

Jamie, who served us, was so friendly and could not do enough for us. Food was great and piping hot, just as we like it and the ciders were excellent also.

I came in for lunch but the card machine was not even working nor was anywhere recommended to get cash out. Couldn't purchase anything. On other occassions I have enjoyed drinking here but food is very mediocre.

Came in with my family for lunch the food was amazing compliments to the guy who was cooking the only problem we had was the girl who was serving us very rude and I don't appreciate has swearing around my child so next time I come in I will be refused to be served by her she is letting the team down

Came here for New Year’s Eve and what a great night we had. Donna and Jason couldn’t be more accommodating if they tried. Can’t wait to come back for some of their live music nights.

Where we live there a few pubs in Bracknell that are nice but don’t have any entertainment factor and some have an entertainment factor but are not very nice in terms of atmosohere. The Bridge has both a laid back feeling for a nice chilled out drink if that’s what your after and on the flip side has a lovely party atmosphere at weekends with a pair of pool tables and dart boards. We had a gathering with a lot of our friends as we recently got engaged and the staff were very warm and friendly, not to mention we got a bunch of shots on the house for everyone as our engagement present which isn’t bad going. All in all the bridge is what a pub should be, somewhere for people to go and have a drink and have some fun.

The refurb has made this a nice place to go for a meal. Chatty staff and very clean. Good range of drinks and I was able to get a good veggie meal. Enjoyed my visit

Not to busy which did surprise me for a Saturday evening. The bonus was we were served very quickly with both Drinks and Food. Spot on well done. It will stay on our list of places to go back to.

Slowest food service I have ever experienced, the first of 5 meals took 45 minutes to arrive and the last one took another 15 minutes - despite being the same dish as the first one! No warning of a delay when ordering and no apology for the appalling service. The food was somewhat under par too. The boss was not happy about us being late back from lunch.

Wednesday 21st August 1 pm. Absolutely diabolical service the worst I have ever encountered. The one barman did not know how to operate the till properly and could not produce a receipt and I might add that he had a couldn't give a ???? attitude. Once ordered the food took at least 45 minutes to come and that was only 3 meals out of 5 ordered and these came one at time. The remanding 2 meals eventually came some 15+ minutes later and the first meal to arrive had been eaten before they arrived. We were not told at the outset that there would be a delay with the meals being served and there was no reason to think that as there not that many people in. There were no apologies for anything in fact really no communication other than to ask whose is the 'egg and chips' with a do you want it or not face. The meals appeared to have been left standing for some time and were deficient on some of the content against the menu. To anybody who reads this I strongly advise that you do not go to the The Bridge to eat as you will be severely underwhelmed and thoroughly disappointed at the total lack of service encountered.There is nothing the management could say to compensate for this abysmal visit to The Bridge.

Went down the pub on Friday just gone and the atmosphere was buzzing great dj on a Friday night Great pub Great service Great weekend atmosphere

Just moved to the area and popped in here as it offers free WiFi and mine hasn’t been connected yet! Great WiFi, Great Food and amazing service ! New to the area but I’m a regular now! Thank you!

Popped in here after leaving an Ascot race day and we were so well

Friendly staff, cheap food and football. There is a sizeable car park and they have Guinness which is always a good thing

Great pub with a great atmosphere lovely staff and great management would definitely come back and recommend

Went in last night to watch the football and thought we would eat as well great food and a really nice atmosphere in there which was down to the staff who really helped thanks again for a great night

We had a large family gathering for surprise 30th Birthday party at the Bridge and what a great evening it was. The bar staff were extremely helpful, the layout if the pub was great for the party, we had people dancing, some playing pool, and people sitting comfortably in other areas.

By far the best Burger I've had in Bracknell. Such friendly and welcoming bar staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I popped in with my family for a quick meal on the way home and we were not disappointed with our visit. Great value for money and the service was amazing. Clean and well maintained pub, I would not hesitate to recommend.

Stopped in here on the off chance on the way back from Ascot and what a lovely time we had!

Tuve mi fiesta de cumpleaños 21 calle hijas en el pub, el personal era absolutamente increíble. Muy atento y profesional. Que no podía hacer lo suficiente para ayudar a hacer su especial. Que eran geniales, gracias señoras por toda su ayuda y hacer su día...

Para una comida en un pub, este lugar no es tan malo. El servicio es amable y la comida llegó a tiempo para mí para regresar a trabajar dentro de una hora. tuve una hamburguesa y mi pareja tiene un sandwich de carne, que tanto...

Yo solía venir aquí mucho con sus compañeros de trabajo, y la comida aquí es bastante buena. El tamaño de las porciones es buena y los precios son razonables. Buena selección de comida. Los precios han subido en el pasado año, pero aún relación calidad-precio.

El ambiente es siempre bueno. Mesa de billar es divertido y casos están bien. Los precios son. Aún continuará para visitar. También este es un modo más pokestop :).

Un buen pub con buena comida a un muy buen precio. Necesitan Arreglar la máquina de café, ya que ha sido rota por un rato.

Good food and drink and the pub does get busy got told food was 15/20 minutes 10 minutes the food came out stuff are friendly and didont have to Whait long to have a game off pool

Frequently meet up with friends for dinner and always looked after. Staff really friendly and attentive to needs always seeking to offer help. It's a great place to relax and is very reasonable price wise.

food was good not just because we had had no breakfast at the tenterden guest house nothing more to say

I've visited this pub a few times and its ok for a drink and a steak, considering both will set you back about £11! which is fantastic value.It's definitely a loud, working mans pub though and on the weekend plays loud dance and drum and bass music for the local kids!so best avoided at the weekends if your not 18 years old and wanting to "av it!!"Still, nice steak and pint on the quite nights

great for a quick beer. Has a couple of pool tables and darts food is absolutely terrible though and expect to wait over an hour if there are more than five people in the place to be served your food.

Good old Pub Grub, no frills or fuss just tasty food and good ale. Can get a bit noisy when there is Sport on TV but generally not to bad.

We had a nice family lunch at The Bridge. The staff are very friendly and they had a great family friendly menu and facilities for our toddler. The food was pretty average pub fare, but still better than anything we can get back at home, and it came out very fast. I had a nice beef and ale pie, sausage and mash for the wife, and our little one had the scampi. Everyone enjoyed it. I can easily see us going back to The Bridge for a quick lunch.

Arrived approx 13.30pm for lunch on a Saturday. I had a cooked meal - scampi, chips and mushy peas and the others had salads. Waited a long time for food. When it arrived the food was poorly presented and lukewarm/cold. The scampi was "leathery"and the the mushy peas were solid.The salads were uninspiring and in one case not what was ordered. I have had several meals there and this was the worst one yet - I won't be returning.

Your usual pub with no personality owned by a brewery with the same food as any other pub. Only bonus, it had two pool tables.

The pub has been extensively refurbished, prior to that it was a dive and used to be full of the local Bracknell lowlife, being close to a large council house estate. The pub now is completely different. The food is good value for money (gammon steak, chips and 2 eggs for £4.49 but quality has not been sacrificed for that price). The clientele is now better too.

The food here was poor as it was quite cold and generally not a nice pub and ots just full of local people

Three visits over a period of time, each visit has been a Friday Lunch time and I have ordered the same £5 lunch menu each time, Fish finger on organic wholemeal side of fries.1st visit: Early December 2014, it was excellent. It came on a nice large bowl plate, two decent sized sandwiches with good amount of Fish, decent amount of fries on the side, and slaw salad as well, and quick service they were ready for the Friday lunch rush. I was full I was happy. 5 Star.2nd Visit: Early January 2015: Was OK but not the same as the first time, food came on a smaller standard flat plate, two sandwich pieces but this time smaller with less fish, and 20 fries on the side (yes I could count them individually) and No Slaw Salad, the plate looked half empty and the whole thing looked a bit cheap and amateur. I was 75% full, if this had been my first visit maybe I would have been satisfied but having been before and expecting the same, I was disappointed and felt a bit ripped off. Also my vegy friend was at a stump as they seemed to be out of stock of almost everything vegy including Salad!....Salad for peats sake!3rd Visit: Mid-January 2015: Terrible disaster. This time the choice of bread has gone from 6 to two (white or brown). Just after we ordered the rush came in, the place went from the 5 of us to almost full in about 15 mins. The staff level was way under par, freaking ‘chef’ buzzer going off every two seconds for the bar man to come to back and take food out to tables. This time I got a single side of sandwich it was very small with just two fish fingers in there (yes I said two) and 18 fries on the side, again no slaw salad. When it was served I took one look and knew it was not going to fill me, at all! It looked like what a 6 year old would get served at a cheap kid’s birthday party. After I finished my ‘lumch’ in 5 mins, I went and ordered a side of fries (thinking that it would come very quick since every plate coming has fries on it, they are obviously frying up a lot) 20 mins later still no fries, I ask the bar man, he said ‘we are very backed up it will come when it comes’ it’s a single side of fries, just stick my order to the front you idiot!?!?!. I had a meeting so just left the place having not been served. Felt very ripped off and had to buy a second lunch from canteen at work.Certainly won’t be coming with colleagues again and definitely won’t be bringing clients or customers here.

This is near my work.Busy at lunchtimes, sometimes long wait for food, even a basic hot sandwich.Decent beers available.Have been one or two weekday evenings, is generally busy too.Worth a visit.

Visited 20/12/201 - trade was quiet, friendly service and excellent reasonably priced food. Greene King have got the right format with this pub

My wife and I ate here recently - decent food and the chef, bless her, came out to enquire whether my steak was cooked to my liking, which it was.So we did not hesitate to visit again yesterday evening after reading in their review "It gives a warm welcome to dogs and their owners". We walked our little cockapoo to The Bridge, went in and had to wait a couple of minutes while the bar lady finished her social chat with a couple of ladies our side of the bar. Not good, but worse was to come when I asked if dogs were limited to any specific area (as many pubs do). The response was "outside". I asked her to check, quoting the dog-friendly write up, whereupon she went back of house and came back with the confirmation "outside". So we had to leave, walk home and drive to the very dog-friendly Plough and Harrow at Warfield for our supper.

Myself and a work coleague went for lunch today. Arrived 13:15 not many people in the pub.Ordered our food -1 x fish finger sandwich and 1 x hunter chicken sandwich. Waited 40 mins before going up to enquirer at the bar for the delay in our simple lunch order, to be told that there was a half hour wait for food orders. The pub wasn't even busy! We were not told when we ordered that that was the case and plus had gone past the half hour time anyway. Waited another 5 mins before going up to ask of we could have it as a take out as we had to get back to work.Food then turned up plated, with the barman having attitude when asked again to have it as a take out as it took too long.We won't be going there again for lunch and to be honest wouldn't recommend it. Poor service.

I passed this pub and thought it looked OK so I had a quick look at their website. It looks good and there is also a voucher offer, £5 off subject to minimum spend, just fill in a form, easy.I went in and ordered a drink for me and the missus, I wanted to pay for the whole bill together but that's not possible due to no tab facility. We then sat down, browsed the ample menu and upon making our choices I went to the bar and ordered.Prior to ordering I said I have the voucher code on my email (phone) but the barmaid said it had to be printed for the till to consolidate. I asked if it was possible to email the establishment with the voucher for them to simply print at a convenient time therefore allowing consolidation of their till and my £5 discount. The barmaid said thats down to manager to approve but unfortunately she was busy cooking some 30 odd meals so it wouldn't be for 30 to 45 minutes. I said that's absolutely fine, I will order anyway and discuss afterwards with the manager. Could she ask her to come to my table as soon as she was free.With our meals my partner wanted a large wine which I ordered only to be told there was no wine glasses available so it would have to be a straight glass. I was surprised at this but the barmaid said it often happens when they're busy!! So that was just shy of a £5 drink in an unsuitable glass.We had the food which was very good, high standard and plentiful.We stayed for a further 90 minutes and did honestly enjoy the evening albeit expecting a visit from the manager. She didnt arrive.Easy fixes are as follows: Buy some more wine glasses. Have a facility for tabs even if you scan the cards in advance. Finally if a customer feels the need to speak to the manager (no matter how trivial the subject), then the manager should make it their business to attend. Plus points the food and atmosphere. Negative has to be the service. It's a shame but I will not be returning.

Refused our custom as it was past 8pm, we had our 12yr old with us and we were looking for a quick bite to eat. Most pubs I know of have a kids out policy of 9pm... what's so special about this one?? We certainly won't be finding out.

Stopped just up the road as was going to Ascot. Read some really terrible reviews on this pub but still decided to give it a try. Pub was full of people, staff was friendly. Had a meal, didn't have to wait long and food was fab, really cheap to .

The staff are simply not interested in making this pub a pleasant experience for customers. Expect long waits when no-one is in the pub and when you do get the food if you order separately at the same table it can be 5 minutes in between each meal is brought out. It's only saving grace is that it is dirt cheap, but that's probably because the food is terrible.I would avoid this pub like the plague if you want your food quickly, to eat together and half decent food. I've been to pubs all over the country and this is genuinely one of the worst I've ever been to

Refused to serve my family and I at 7pm just incase we were still on the property at 8pm discrimination against kids is pretty low. The laugh of the matter is they have a kids menu!!

The pub has been recently refurbished, so decided to take a customer for lunch there last month - instead of our usual haunt the very good Victoria Arms - Shouldn't have done. They had none of the vegetarian dishes due to having "no peppers or onions" except Jacket potato with Cheese or a veggie burger, and ruled out 2 of the options I was considering - I ordered an all day breakfast to be told they had no sausages & ended up with a burger too. Very cheap £13 - but won't bother again.

Been there a few times for work-lunches. Beer and a bagguette for a fiver and sports on the TV. Happy days.

Drove to the bridge inn ti get a meal and on arrival saw a notice " no food being served"!!! Disappointed!!!

Me and my family visited here on my birthday and the service, food and atmosphere was very good and very helpful staff... Rounded off with a Couple games of pool...nice

This pub used to be grim and horrible for years so I almost turned down an invite to have lunch there but I was surprised. It's had a major refurbishment and now looks very airy and pleasant as you go in. On one side of a large open-plan bar is a sports area with fruit machines and games, then tables on the other side. My visit was a weekday lunch and it's a typical "chain" food menu with a decent choice of dishes. The food is reasonable quality, I wouldn't say outstanding, but then again the prices are quite cheap (I had jacket potato with salad, coleslaw and cheese for a fiver) so on balance I was happy with the food. The service is hopeless though. When we ordered they were upfront about telling us there would be a 25 minute wait. Seemed a bit strange as we were early and not many people in yet but we thought well OK at least they told us. The food was a while but actually took less time than 25 mins to arrive. One of the dishes was soup and came with only a tiny bit of butter for the bread; when we asked for some more we were told "no" they didn't allow it! How tight can you get. Luckily my potato also came with butter which I didn't need so donated to the soup person.Drinks that we had ordered at the same time as the food did not arrive until we went and chased them up. Whilst we were eating the harassed serving guy swept past us with "how's your meal guys everything alright" and kept right on walking without waiting for reply.I visited the gents toilets and found them nice and clean. My friends work in the office across the road however and go to this pub frequently - they recommend not sitting anywhere near the door to the gents as toilet is often very smelly and the waft as the door opens puts you off your food.This place was passably OK but I can't help feeling it will not be long before it slips back down onto the "omg not going there" list.

Good quality menu , with efficient service . Clean and welcoming .... Quiet areas for non sport fanatics so serves both customers . If you are close take a look and try you will not be disappointed ...

Having lived locally for years myself and my part decided to give The Bridge another go and we where amazed at the transformation from dark and dingy to airy, open and fresh. The staff where great with friendly smiles and knowledgeable about the products yet didnt sound robotic which you find in many places these days. We saw that there was entertainment on later in the evening so decided to stay and have something to eat. The food was delivered quickly and looked fresh and appealing and great value for money. The best thing for me was the great quality of Ales available. Once the Dj started it became a party pub filling up with a good age range with no feeling of trouble we felt safe and stayed the whole night. Its great to finally find a pub with great traditional ales that I would feel happy to take my parent to. The team at The Bridge keel it up we will be back soon.

I've just been on a works team lunch to this place, it's literally just been refurbished and looked vfery nice from both the outside and the inside. We ordered drinks and then ordered food a little later which was taken, 15 minutes or so later we were told that there was only 1 steak for the 3 that had ordered it and no scampi. Orders where changed, mainly for cheaper options in a totally disorganised manner and we were only offered partial recompense for the lower prices of the new choices. Anyway, the meals started arriving, 1 at a time in 10 minutes or so intervals, everybody else receive there's apart from me, after a further 20 mins or so I had to go up and cancel my order as it had not been forthcoming and it was getting too late as we had to get back to work. Whilst I was cancelling the food order, 2 guys watining at the bar finally gave up and left without being served. Now I can believe that maybe this is teething problems after having reopened post refurb but they've clearly got a lot to sort out to be considered worth trying again

We have eaten at The Bridge quite regularly recently. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu is typical of most chain pubs and is very reasonably priced and served in generous portions. (puts Wetherspoons to shame!).On our most recent visit I had the 8oz steak, served with chips, peas, onion rings and grilled tomato - for a very reasonable £6.99. The food was bought to our table promptly and was well presented. The steak was ordered as "medium" and was cooked perfectly. The member of staff returned a few minutes later to ask if everything was OK with the meal and asked if we needed anything else or more drinks.All-in-all The Bridge is now a friendly pub restaurant offering good food at great prices. The service provided by the staff is very good.Well done to all the team and keep up the excellent work!

This is a typical pub with two pool tables, TVs, fruit machines; serves the usual type of pub food too! The thing that made it a great evening (so much so that we went there the following evening) was the service. Grace from behind the bar did everything she could to make sure we got great service & when the food wasn't quite right, sorted the problem straight away with no fuss!

This pub was awful but has now got a new landlady, so the atmsphere and food is far better.Give it a go!

If you like beer, pool, karioke, dancing and having a laugh this is a great place. If you want food that is cooked by a chef dont come here. Its typical [--] microwaved pub food that seems to be endemic in this country. Still...eating is cheating anyway.

My partner and I live just up the road from the Bridge and decided to try it a few month back - sine then we have been going very couple of weeks and have never been disappointed. The pub is set up mainly for watching sports or planning pool but to the right hand side of the bar it is far more quite and set up more for people to eat. The menu is fairly typical of any chain pubs - steaks, fish and chips, curry nights. We mostly tend to have the rump steak, which is always cooked correctly (M/R - never once has it been overcokked!) and its very tasty. The staff at the pub are always very friendly and attentive, checking back on us and bring drinks to the table when they can. For what you are paying we think this pub is fantastic and the service far better than what you get in many of the surrounding much more expensive establishments. If you just looking for somewhere to pop out to for a quite bite - we couldn't recommend it enough.

It was a sunday and wanted to have a nice meal but had not booked a table anywhere so decided to go to the bridge and take a chance. Well, it was empty except for 1 party of about 12! the service by the waitress was good ,however the Manager/Owner (not sure) had a very unwelcoming face! she served someone else before me even though she had seen me waiting at the bar before the other person. What has happened to our customer service in the Country?!the food was not good. i had a steak and ale pie with mash which was really tasteless and the mash looked like it could have been taking from other plates and dumped on mine!I will not be recommending this pub and will not be visiting it again.
