Chego's Newbury in West Berkshire

I met a friend for a weekday lunch and Chego’s was perfect. We were welcomed warmly. The decor is funky and fun and the atmosphere cosy. The food was excellent, perfect for a light lunch. We both had salad bowls and croquettes. They were fresh and delicious and meant we saved room for a yummy pudding! Service was friendly and attentive. A great place to catch up with a friend over lunch.

After driving to 2 garden centres north and then south of Newbury with a very poorly husband who has barely been out of the house for months we were looking forward to a pleasant lunch. However, we wete refused entry as DOGS NOT ALLOWED, even a small well behaved one. By this time I was close to crying. So we drove to central Newbury, all very gruelling for someone seriously ill, poor hubbie had a long very difficult walk to Chego's who had no hesitation in allowing the dog, served us a delightful lunch, glasses of delicious wine, and we were served by an efficient, friendly , superb waitress. It was a lovely atmosphere and made up for the awful experience at the other venues! The food is excellent quality, reasonably priced in comparison to the fast food served in most cafes, the portions are very good and the choice of wine is to die for. Thank you so much Chego's for making us feel welcome and bot treating us like a nuisance. We will definitely be visiting again. Then to Rufus for an excellent coffee, quality cakes & a cosy atmosphere, with our dog. Hillier and Yew Tree - you lost business from us today and going forward. We have a choice whete to spend our money. We will go for quality and service and kindness to our well behaved pooch every time!!!!!!

Our first visit was delightful. On a wet Monday, our light lunch was delicious and sensibly priced. Our host was attentive and good to have a chat with. Highly recommended!

First time we visited and we will return Chris looked after us the whole evening amazing service and knowledge of wine which he recommended food lovely went for the cheese fondu - so good we also had the pate and salt cod croquettes very good

What can I say other than wow Absolutely exceeded all expectations and the whole family enjoyed great food service atmosphere the whole package I would recommend anybody to go there. You will always have a fab time.

Pre booked a table, ordered food and drinks, drinks arrived pretty quick but food took over a hour and a half to arrive, expected more for the price.

Lovely little place. We had a mid week visit for some food and wine. Service was friendly and at a nice pace. Wine recommendations were good and suited our taste. Menu nice with just enough variation, choice was good, we had croquettes and fondue. A bit different t and a nice atmosphere for a chill night together. All in all it was good, it met our expectations but didn’t exceed them. We will be back to try their lunch menu though

Visited in a Sunday lunch time and really enjoyed the food and a good bottle of wine. Chorizo croquettes were delicious, baked cheese and a platter of meat served with figs, pickles, crackers and bread were all very tasty. Not cheap but we did order a generous amount of food to share

Amazing food loved the fondue! Wine list is great! Can’t wait to come back! Really lovely atmosphere! Service was amazing!

Food was bang average considering the price of it. Service didn’t exist at all. Waited an age to get our drinks and food, ideal place if you want to take up 3 hours of your time on 4 courses when the restaurant had 3 tables in. Not once checked in on to see how we were doing or if we wanted any drinks etc. absolutely abysmal customer service. Won’t be recommending to anyone to be honest

Great Food highly recommended The food was amazing and great for sharing. Staff were lovely. Definitely been returning with friends.

Booked a table of 6 for the set taster menu. An extra member joined who didn’t want the taster menu but the restaurant insisted that we pay for it anyway, in addition to the extra food they ordered instead! Service was poor and definitely did not come with a smile. The food is basically just glorified ham and cheese and expensive at that for the amount you get. Other items from the menu were also disappointing. Soggy patatas bravas, undercooked padron peppers and the croquettes are not much better than those you can get in the supermarket freezer section. Don’t waste your money.

Came here for an impromptu meal after 6 nations rugby. Was full but they told us to come back in half an hour which we did and although still busy we got a good table. We shared one of the delicious fondues with a meat platter and some peppers and all 3 of us had plenty and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice glass of wine too! Staff weren’t overly attentive upstairs however it was very busy so understandable. Not overly pricey either. Recommend it and thank you for a great evening.

Came for dinner last Saturday and what an experience it was, loved every single part of it. Food was amazing and even the young chef came out to have a little chat with us, asking if this was our first time at Chegos, he welcome us to the place and it was just nice to have a chat with the chef hats of to him, he is a treasure to the business.

Loved our visit. We found this place by chance and were glad we did :) we had grilled vegetable sandwiches, patatas bravas and focaccia. The staff were very attentive and always ready to help. Would definitely recommend.

Visited on a Tues just before Christmas. This was my third visit since they opened and it feels like the novelty is wearing off and service is slipping each time I visit. This time Our server was disinterested and didn’t smile through the entire evening. The wine glasses which white wine was poured into had red white dry stains in the bottom and when we raised it with the server she didn’t seem to care, we had to ask for new glasses and then for wine to go in them (we hadn’t drunk any of the wine in the less than clean ones)! No-one apologised or acknowledged the issue at all. I don’t think I’ll be back until they’ve sorted out a better more engaged service team. The food is fun but nothing exciting so the service has to be top notch.

Went with 7 friends had lots of food to share which was superb and then a fondue haven’t had one for years and thoroughly enjoyed it . Staff were very attentive and warm and friendly definitely go back

This is a great addition to Newbury, loved the great value wines and cheese fondue was great. Staff welcoming. My only comment would be that the music was very quiet and didn’t add much to the atmosphere and they were also playing radio adverts or something? However unfortunately just after we had paid the bill we saw something we wish we hadn’t.. the “chef” who was strutting around the restaurant then went to stand behind the bar and started picking his nose before returning to the kitchen. I can only hope he washed his hands…

Visited mid-Nov as liked the idea of nice wine with cheese/meats. We shared a fab fondue and a charcuterie board with some croquettes. The food was really lovely, great portions and delicious. Set up is a bit weird and the team need to work on the furniture layout . Wine choice was great but the wait staff don’t know enough about wine for this to be a ‘wine venue’ - especially as most wines are not available by the glass! I think we would come back as it had a good ambiance and the fondue was delish!
