Crooked Billet Pub in Wokingham

Really like this place, service is good and food is really tasty. Home cooked. The ploughman's they do is the best around

I haven't actually been to this pub but I wanted to write a glowing review. I was looking to book a venue for a wake. Although we have now decided to go to a different place, Jo from the Crooked Billet was exceptionally communicative and left a couple of voicemails and followed up with an email. She wasn't pushy and was extremely compassionate given the circumstances, and really helpful. I'm exceedingly grateful and look forward to being able to come to the pub properly another time.

Came here for lunch after a spot of fruit picking at the local pick your own farm just up the road. Staff were friendly enough, and the food was brought to our table promptly. Plenty of seating inside and out, inside is lovely and cosy, can imagine it being lovely in the winter when the fire is roaring. I had the sausage sandwich, was very tasty but was probably a little overpriced at £11.50. Our kids enjoyed their nuggets, but again at £12 for a kids meal (with a free ice lolly that we forgot to ask for) it is very expensive for what it is. This may be the location. I would come back here as the pub is lovely and the food is decent quality, maybe next time for a proper evening meal.

Cold food. For the price it was like an end of the day dinner your mum would have saved for you. I had the beef, the Yorkshire pudding was burnt, all the veg was cold, gravy was cold, for the price it was really quite a sad affair. My last visit to the crooked billet a year ago was much better, I only assume they gave us the left over food, the potatoes were pretty dire. The waiter at the end, a young guy asked how it was and we said it was cold but I felt he was not prepared for us to be unhappy with our food. He took it badly that we complained but it was cold I am afraid. Another waitress I believe who was the manager said we ruined her day, my mum overheard her as we left, which felt a bit harsh , since all we did we ask for non burnt yorkshires, Complained about the fly issue (tons of flies sitting on our food) and there was a mistaken issue where I thought she’s cleared my sisters meal away but she hadn’t , which she seemed to take quite personally and I think the staff thought we were rude for it but when you spend £20 + on a roast I was just making sure it was not taken before my sister was finished. The staff made us feel like we were really hard customers when we’re a relaxed crowd, if they really wanted me to complain I would of defo refused to pay for what was really a very cold Mediocre roast. The one staff that wasn’t rude and nonchalant was a young girl who served us first who was lovely. But sadly she disappeared and was replaced by staff that lacked any customer service abilities.

Something is adrift at this previously popular Pub Restaurant. We have visited fairly regularly over many years but recently something has changed. The food remains good and there is an extensive menu although a little pricey. We have always pre-booked because at lunchtimes the restaurant has always been full, however on our two latest visits it has been nearly empty. For the price paid you expect a certain level of service and on our recent visit it was friendly as our geriatric group were consistently referred to as "Guys" which I feel is inappropriate. On our previous visit the waitress was hopeless and unsupervised, on both occasions although prompt it was amateurish. The management need to ensure that waiting staff are properly trained and know something about the menu before they commence work and that they treat customers with a bit more respect. Hopefully this is a temporary glitch and the reestaurant will up its game when we visit again.

The Crooked Billet is the ideal English pub but the food is above pub grub,great atmosphere and the staff are attentive but not overly,been many times and would highly recommend.

Really good evening - nice evening spent with my friends who comes here very often. Great service experience by Tilly - friendly and happy disposition

It’s a lovely traditional pub without a TV screen in sight which is great plus! We used to frequent this place a lot over the years both for a drink or a meal. However, we stopped using the restaurant due to our disappointment with the general quality of food. We occasionally pop in for a drink, but the prices are ridiculously high compared to other pubs around Berkshire. Over £7 for a pint of Guinness, that’s higher than most London pubs.

Went for dinner with my wife for my first time at pub. Although service was good the food was poor. It may well have been a one off but it was if someone had spilt the salt cellar into my stake an ale pie meal. It was rank. Certainly not worth the £55. (Honestly would have preferred a 'spoons'.)

Exceptional food and service from Jo and her team. One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve ever had. Great quality, excellent portions and superb value for money. Thank you for looking after Eileen so well and Crumble says thank you for the Ham. Will be back soon.

Amazing staff. Excellent food and ambience Crumble better than my mums,sorry mum Will definitely be back. Thankyou

A warm welcome awaited our arrival. They stock Guinness 0.0 which is very sensible at this time of year. We all had starters - most opted for pate. It was a good serving with toast.Not too big to spoil one's appetite but very satisfying and tasty. Then the main event was Christmas lunch. Often people express delight nowadays by saying wow! In my case, the Turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, gravy, sausage, red cabbage ALL got WOW! The meal was superb, made even better by friendly service and attention to detail. I can highly recommend this venue and the service staff were very upbeat - THANKS.

Very nice food but a little pricey. Devilled kidneys nicely cooked and pork belly was also very good. nice pub with a big fireplace and good beer.

This place is really well tucked away and I guess it suffers from time lapse as the interior is rather dated! Food was very good and service was in order but it's too far out to warrant driving past other good venues to get here!

Visited with my family and parents for my birthday. Facilities and staff were good but the food was disappointing. Garlic bread starter was incredibly hard - a real tooth breaker! My son had his drink spilled over him by the table staff, but these things happen and it didn’t bother him too much. The real issue was the main course. Three of us had chips with our meal which were borderline inedible due to way too much salt added by the kitchen. To be fair we didn’t mention this to the staff so they had no opportunity to correct it. Desserts were much better and saved the meal. Based on this visit i’m not sure I would go back again if I were looking to eat out.

Great food, good portion size, freshly cooked, "I think". Great service & good friendly. atmosphere. Possibly too much choice to pick from!!

Staff disinterested, food awful. Decided to give them a try after a few bad experiences a while back, but sadly nothing has changed.

Staff were polite & friendly enough, but as soon as we walked in, it lacked any warmth. Felt like the owners had rented it for an event, all staff had coats and caps on - very temporary! Must be new owners? Arrived expecting lunch, but was advised only serving lunch from 1;30, so we were happy to wait with a drink . When 1;30 arrived we asked again, and asked for a menu at which point he said they could do pizzas, and showed me the choice on his phone? hardly the food shown on previous reviews. Pizza arrived with no cutter, so we had to use knife and fork. Not the best experience to be honest.

Whilst a nice country pub to stop off at whilst walking the dogs, the drinks prices are extortionate. £5.60 for a run of the mill, non premium Fosters Lager. Peroni is around the £7 mark. I'm not surprised there were not many people there, maybe they were all in central London where you'll probably pay less for your drinks. Advice to management, know your market, have a look at the prices your close competitors are charging otherwise you will find they start frequenting other pubs.

Just a lovely pub with great beer and excellent food. Great beer garden. Lovely friendly staff. So much better than the Golden Retriever, as it is not a chain and they really care. Support a local pub!

We were there for dinner and it was a great experience. I had calves liver which was done absolutely perfectly, not dry (like in many places) but tender and juicy. Great desserts too and a decent wine list. Will be back!

Even though it looked busy, judging by the car park, the service was excellent. Good range of sandwiches at reasonable price and food quality/ portion size very good.

After not visiting here for quite some time, even though it's only a mile and a bit away, we ended up having a lunch here on a Saturday early in the month and as a family had a roast last night. Both of fine quality and great feedback from the whole group. Lamb and beef were cooked perfectly, nice selection of veg and pork belly was excellent. Always a warm welcome in this lovely, comfortable little boozer and would highly recommend it to others.

Visited on a Sunday for lunch. The food was excellent . We ordered roast beef and a fish pie. The beef was pink but tasty served with a good selection of vegetables including a small dish of cauliflower cheese. The fish pie had a good ratio of fish to potato with a wide selection of fish. The portion of apple and rhubarb crumble was generous! The restaurant was full so booking is essential at weekends. It was also rather noisy but not so much that it was difficult to hear each other. Service was good with a caring maitre d' even though she was taking time to train a new member of staff. Admittedly the Crooked Billet is my local but I would certainly recommend it.

Went here for 2nd visit & didn't disappoint. An early table and getting busy by 7.30. Food was freshly cooked & our Chicken Kiev plus Scampi, not in a basket were excellent. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. A very enjoyable experience.

Homemade food, linen napkins and great service. My husband and daughter visited after being recommended by friends, Trip Advisor reviews initially put me off but decided to give it a go for celebration. So pleased we did!

First visit and what a find!, service, atmosphere buzzing, staff were attentive friendly and efficient, The food was top drawer great portions and quality made our weekend and we will certainly be coming back for more!!

We were a party of nine for lunch today all agreed the food was excellent ranging from Pie, Fish and Chips, Pork Chop and sandwich. The serving staff were friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend this Pub highly enough.

I like this pub. I think it’s fair to say this falls under the pub category rather than the gastropub/restaurant category. They have a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are always friendly. The food however is nice, though I can’t say justifies the price. If...

Where do I begin. Lovely old traditional English pub, miles from anywhere, reasonably full within half hour of opening on a Sunday lunchtime. Says it all. Lamb roast was off the scale, quality and quantity. You wont go hungry. Friendly staff, great service, Thatchers Gold...

Nice looking pub with sweet wait staff - but the kitchen is a shambles - took ridiculous amounts of time to get food out despite the fact that there were only about 15 covers in the whole restaurant. They need to slim down their menu...

Still a very nice venue but lunch today was a big drop in standard, sausages and mash £15 with just 2 sausages!! Bacon was burnt in the sandwich which lacked flavour.

Visited after a family walk. We were planning on eating at the Squires garden centre down the road but they havent finished their outside seating area yet. Fortunately I found this pub on Google and as we had the dogs we sat outside (saw a...

Haven’t eaten here for a few years and decided we would come along for a birthday meal with family on 20/2/21. Table booked for a party of 8 On arrival our table wasn’t ready ... we were 10 minutes early then they didn’t have enough...

Six of us went for a family evening meal Sat 5th Feb, all had starters which were delicious, mains just great, my liver was the best I have ever eaten, can't wait to go back, thank you, it was fab.

£11.95 for a pint of lager & a pint of ale, come off it guys, you are not in central London at these prices.

We had not been to this restaurant for about three year and were pleased to find that although the menu was different the food and service were still of the high standard previously experiences. A very leisurely and enjoyable meal with friends was complimented by...

My friends took me out for a birthday dinner last night. I had the Cod and Chips, my friends had the Calf's liver and Steak&Ale pie. For our puddings we had the peanut butter cheesecake and the chocolate fondant. It was one of the best...

We had not been to this pub/restaurant for a few years and wanted to try it out before a big family booking on Boxing Day. The waiting staff were excellent, they were polite, apologetic, concerned and embarrassed. The food was appalling. The starter was Bruschetta,...

Did a circular walk from the pub with a group of 16 friends from Bracknell u3a and had lunch in the garden afterwards. Friendly helpful staff and delicious food highly recommend.

Very nice food and friendly staff in a good location. I would strongly recommend if you are in the area and looking for a nice pub.

One of my favourite pubs, but no more. Evening trip spoiled by poor, unjoined up customer service. Orders for food and drink taken efficiently, but pies were cold and sent back to the kitchen. 20 minutes later new plates were served by a 3rd person....

Friendly efficient service and delicious food. We were made to feel very welcome on our lunch time visit. Sat outside in garden

We went to the Crooked Billet for a celebratory meal on a Saturday evening and were terribly disappointed with very poor service. The initial taking of the drinks and food order was fine once that was done we never saw that waitress again until we...

We arrived for our booking and we were shown to our table by a very pleasant Irish lady. She took our drinks order and then returned with our drinks - one of which was wrong. The starters arrived and they were quite tasty. The main...

We all enjoyed a delicious lunch and wonderful occasion with our small family. The pub restaurant was Covid-19 safe and all good social distancing observed. Great brakespeares ale and I had a very tasty ploughmans - my favorite dish in a pub! The service was...

Favourite pub for a civilised pint. What was most impressive was how sparklingly clean the whole pub was - toilets, carpets, wooden floor, brass, touch points, no cobwebs, tables - the lot. Date visited - Sunday 5th October 2020

Was brought here for lunch by a friend who is local to the Crowthorne/Wokingham area and who says that this is the best place for lunch. After our meal, I must agree, we had an excellent meal. TheCrooked Billet pub is down some very narrow lanes, you have to know where to find it! Thank you SatNav! It is well worth the journey. We were warmly welcomed by all the staff, who were very polite, even down to gently explaining the new rules following covid-19 restrictions, when to wear masks etc, without being dictatorial. We had an inside table overlooking the garden. A pleasant view. Our meals, pan fried calves liver, rare breed sausage and mash, and chicken and wild mushrooms were all excellent, very tasty and beautifully presented. Also the desserts, lemon posset and cheesecake were delicious. We were not hurried. The lunch meal was a wonderful experience.

Only stopped for a quick drink whilst walking the dog. Goddamn extortion for a glass of wine in here. £9.50 for glass of house wine. Sorry. Won't be back.

Easy to book, had a phone call to confirm. Tables spaced out perfectly. The waiting staff were professional and attentive without being pushy. The food was divine, good sized portions and well presented

Just visited for lunch and all the tables were full and there was a lovely atmosphere. We had booked a table in advance as we know how popular it is. We decided to have snacks for starters - scotch egg, pork belly and sausage roll. The pork belly was absolutely delicious - tender meat and crispy skin. Mains were scampi and the suet crust pie. The scampi was crisp and tasty. The pie - pork, apple and cider - had a lovely rich gravy. The staff were all friendly and smiley. Service was just right and the food arrived in good time. We will be back again soon.

Was surprised - no wait staff wore masks in the middle of Covid. Meals - 2 chicken meals: When our son asked for more sauce was told they would charge more ! Then both chicken were returned as both were pink - (which was accepted) -My Fish and Chips - not "exciting", a little dry Finally asked for the check and waited 15+ minutes Overall - will not return.

The food is good, but this pub has let itself down on lack of service. We had a table in the garden but neither waitress cam to our table. I finally got the attention of one of them, only to be told to go a table and place an order and immediately pay the bill before the food arrived! That has never happened before. I had the Ploughman’s lunch with cheddar and pork pie, which was good quality. Small details like the butter was from a farm in Gloucestershire really made a difference. My wife had Trout and a salad which was good.

Having followed this pub on Facebook during lockdown I was looking forward to going along. Very disappointed. They didn’t have my booking and even asked me if I’d called the right pub to book. Sat outside as a nice evening and had to figure out for ourselves it was self serve as no instructions given. Food wasn’t bad but not great either, ploughman’s had a burnt sausage roll and soggy pickled onions. Quiche came with a limp salad. Wine was warm and we never did get the water we asked for. A real shame.

We had ham, egg and chips. Average meal. Unfortunately we ordered desserts which was a big and costly mistake. The peaches and raspberry crumble was sent back first time because half the peach was hard. Second time round the skin was still on the peach which made it difficult to eat. A few raspberries and a sprinkling of crumble burnt on the top. Cost £8.50. I ordered the chocolate and orange sponge. Still cold and dry so I sent it back. Second time round was no different. I would say it tasted like a cheap supermarket chocolate cake thing. The chef had cut a bit off the top and put orange marmalade on it and put the cover on. It was horrible. I thought it would be chocolate and orange sponge home baked. Complained again but the manager didn't come out to deal with it so we just left. Unfortunately we had prepaid for the desserts. I highly recommend not to prepay for anything. We won't be going back.

We used to frequent this pub quite a bit and there was a great menu selection. We were very disappointed on our recent visit here. The menu choice was not great, we struggled to choose something. The rib-eye steak at £26. something just was not an option. The food seems to have been compromised and you have hiked up your prices. I know the chicken liver pate didn't say homemade but it didn't even taste like chicken liver, it tasted like a mundane coarse pork pate that you buy from the supermarket and at the price of £9 or so was disgraceful. The beefburger again was not described as homemade but it wasn't even a beefburger more like a findus or birdseye processed something and certainly was not worth £15.95. The safety measures in place post corona virus pandemic was good with a one way system and tables at least a metre apart and all table service so well done on that aspect. Wasn't keen on the new communal toilets, don't think that is necessary. Based on the quality and choice of food we won't return and wouldn't reccommend.

Most of it was left on the plate. I am all for healthy eating, but this is healthy eating gone bad. Even though I had ordered chicken and chips, apparently that is not what it said on the menu, so was made to pay for some chips to get them to eat anything.

went for a family meal for my wife’s birthday. The food was nice a little over priced for what you got. The service was abit slow and when we pointed this out they couldn’t really have cared less

I have eaten here on numerous occasions and the food has always been delicious and the staff attentive and professional. We have also just used this venue for a private function and couldn't be more impressed, thank you Jo for helping make us feel so welcome and serving such lovely food. I would happily recommend this pub.

Lovely characterful pub, met with friends for a light lunch and was delighted to see their 'Grazing Menu' fantastic choice of smaller meas. We all decided to try the pan fried calves liver with onions & gravy, it was delcious, a pity we hadn't noticed that bread was an optional extra to mop up the gravy, however I managed with a spoon!!

It is a lovely building however there are a few issues here.The wine is over priced for not great wine.The small plates (bit like tapas) are pretty good, but the mains are expensive. All three main courses were over-salted (no checking chef?). The service started off ok, but got worse as the evening progressed. We were waving at staff for 5 minutes just to get the bill. Once it arrived all staff disappeared for 10 minutes. We ended up having to walk round to find staff who could help. Poor. Plus why oh why do waiting staff refer to a mixed group of customers as 'guys'? Grrr. Won't rush back.

Nice pub although be careful in the car park as there are some drops into spaces that can catch the underside of your car.Staff were great and attentive without being in your face all the time. Good food. When we were there liver was on the menu which two of us fancied. We asked if it could be served pink. The waitress went to ask the chef who said he didn't normally but he could. Whilst it didn't come served pink it was very tender and there was plenty of it. I did think it was a bit odd that it wasn't cooked as it should have been. When we came to puds one of us ordered jam roly poly. We expected it to be like a Swiss roll but it was just a separate pudding with a tiny bit of jam in it but a dollop on top.

I booked in 14 people for a team Christmas lunch. From contacting and booking the date, to pre ordering the food, it was seamless.Food was fantastic. We ordered from the standard menu to keep away from too many Christmas dinners. Varied from hot baguettes to roasted pheasant.Good selection of drinks, the beers appear to be cellared very well.

Amazing Christmas Day Lunch. Booked very early due to bring so popular. The food, ambience, hospitality, everything was amazing and perfect. So good we have booked again! Highly recommended.

My local pub .good set of lads good beer and plenty of free parking,the young girls could do with a cattle prodding now and again but I am not famous for being patient overall a good pub

This is becoming the last public house around due to many closing, the staff work hard to keep all of the people happy, nice food and beers, dog friendly. A little out of the way so I get a lift or taxi , worth it !

It was decided to revisit this pub after at least 10 years. We had a pleasant welcome and were seated in the not very busy restaurant. After a seemingly long wait, we received our drinks and a food menu. We watched other diners arrive and get served and still we waited! Eventually we were able to catch the eye of the waitress. As usual, I specified my request for no black pepper or chilli on or near my food.Well, one of my dishes had so much black pepper in it that it didn't take too long for my lips to swell - free botox!!! The waitress said she would tell the chef, but the vegetables were prepared and seasoned in advance. Fast forward to dessert - the roasted plums with a crumble topping were cold ( as was the plate). These then got microwaved to heat them. The pub has plenty of seating and a large car park.Overall, it was a disappointing experience and it will probably be another 10 years before I return.

Nice traditional pub. Food was very good but service a little slow. However, it was busy. Food was nicely presented and the pub was clean.

Visited today on one of my trips home from abroad. I was really disappointed to see very low cleaning standards, filthy tables, unclean floor, dirty and worn upholstery on chairs and benches. Unfortunately it looks unloved and uncared for and not what it used to be. Further disappointed that two of the three real ales I tried were off.

My family and I had lunch at The Crooked Billet yesterday. The first course was very good, but the main meal was terrible, My fish and chips was the worst I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. The fish was cooked for so long that is was impossible to cut and, more to the point eat, because it was rock hard.

Nice friendly staff, tasty and prompt food in a pleasant atmosphere.....wish it was my local....will I go back....oh yes

This is a very popular pub that we went to for an evening meal. The service was good, and the food was also. The shrimp and crayfish cocktails were delicious. My only criticism would be that the spatchcock was a bit dry. However a good night out.

Good atmosphere, spacious and comfortable surroundings. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was all delicious .... we had 7 various tapas dishes and enjoyed it all. The menu was so varied and we had so much we wanted to try... just have to go back again!

The billet has gone down hill lately with regard to over cooked food and sloppy service ! Being told when we complained! That the chef agreed that the food should not of been served !!

We had the grazing menu. What a bargain so low in price. Fresh and tasty food more than enough to fill you up. Fast and attentive service everything was brilliant from start to finish. We could not fault anything so a well deserved 5 stars. Thank you.

Lovely lunchtime meal, roast dinners are very popular but i had the pie of the day which was superb. Great service, staff very friendly good knowledge of wines.

It's been sometime since we last ate at the Crooked Billet and judging by our experience of Sunday lunch here today it could be some while before we return. We had pre booked our table, as it seemed had most of the other diners other than those people in the garden. It was busy so we appreciated that there could be a short wait for our food to arrive, however at no point did anyone come over to apologise for the delay, explain how long it might be or even ask if we required more drinks. When the food did eventually arrive most of us were happy with our meal choices although I would say that the fish dish did look very dry and overcooked as though it had been standing for sometime! Because we had waited so long that person decided not to make any comment about their meal as this would only have delayed lunch even further which was a real shame. Still at no point was an apology forth coming from the waiting staff for the delay and once we'd settled the bill we left feeling very underwhelmed! Sorry to say.

Great country pub with really good food and a wide selection of drinks. Staff are friendly and services is prompt.

Great mix of food from the ‘Grazing Menu’, great selection of drinks, nice ambience and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

First time visiting. The menu looked really nice with a grazing menu of smaller plates, starters, mains, dessert and cheese menu.

Second time visiting the pub and had a terrible experience.

Today we arrived at the pub at 12.30pm. A waitress took our drinks order which took a little while to arrive. Then she disappeared and no-one came to take our food order. Other patrons arrived and we realised they were all being served so I asked a waitress to take our order. It took until 1.45pm before any food was served-we were all very hungry by then. The food was good, the lack of service wasn't. Needless to say no tip was left.

A group of 16 of us visited early on a Friday evening for our parents 70th and our sisters leaving dinner (moving abroad).

My tuna salad was very tasty and my Dad liked his Ploughmans. Friendly staff too. Look forward to coming again!

Jo and her team catered for a large party to help us celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. The staff could not have been more helpful - from the planning stage through to the actual event. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious - we have received so many positive comments about the quality of the catering that I just have not the space to quote them all.

Here today for a 45wedding Anniversary 65 people plus children, every thing ready we were all met with smiles great food excellent service very friendly well recommend .Big Thankyou to all the staff

Nice local pub, good food and service, very friendly, Lovely garden,dog friendly and free dog biscuits, see you soon

Really disappointing to find our usual good experience was let down by incredibly slow service - well over an hour to serve main course and when food arrived quality was very poor. Food was over cooked and tasteless. Shame because historically we have enjoyed our regular Sunday lunches.

We have been visiting the crooked billet pub for many years and today we had the most shocking meal, I would have been embarrassed if that was my pub and my chef was serving up the food we were served today.

First visit here as many friends had recommended it. The service is really friendly, helpful and attentive
