Duke of Wellington in Wokingham

Quiet on Wednesday lunchtime, ideal for my Spanish lesson

Good atmosphere, great Thai food! Cheers!

I can't believe we tried this place again after our previous experience, but it's been a while so we gave it a try. Awful service and terrible food.

Perfect place to relax, have tasty food and party big time

Nice little pub a short walk from Twyford Station and just for a change probably had a bigger beer garden than the inside of the pub - with a play area for children. The staff were quite pleasant but the Guinness wasn't quite right (it was a bit quiet so maybe just been sitting in the line for a while) and the Brakspear Oxford Gold was excellent

Nice little pub, friendly staff, might feel like a clicky local type if you don't say hello to random people. I do. Bar staff are both all smiles with good looks. Garden is massive. Dog friendly too which is mark of a proper pub.

Great local. Real (some) ales, keg beer and a good arra outside.

Lovely friendly pub big garden and a bouncy castle, of all things, good beer and friendly staff will be back regularly

Love coming down with my son on a Saturday lunch time - great atmosphere and the staff are great and accommodating with my 6 year old making him feel at home - lovely to see the play area having a makeover and the bouncy castle! Some of the smaller pub lunch items from the Thai are great too 👌

Extremely poor service. Food was Ok when it arrived very late. Won't be bothering again

This is the real england. Wonderful pub

A fantastic local pub with a great beer garden and fantastic beers on tap. Love it and visit regularly.

Service lacking to the point of being inattentive. Dirty cutlery re-used from starter to main course. Dirty table mats, table, and surroundings. Possible blood stains on the floor of the men's toilet. Never again.

Looks like a pub, smells like a pub. It's a pub.

Met a friend here for dinner, knowing the Thai Elephant now serves food here. Great service, very attentive staff and lovely food. The salt and pepper squid was great, as were the Thai fishcakes.

Good, friendly and helpful staff

Popped in for a drink between Xmas and New year. We were warmly greeted by the bar staff. Lovely interior setting with decent sized beer garden. Nice clean facilities. Good beer and wine choices

Great pub. Staff were really attentive and friendly. Nice decor with clean facilities. Parking just round the corner. Highly recommended a visit. Dogs welcome too 😁

Great music and absolutely rammed Saturday night

Love it here great staff Amazing service Fabulous customers SUPER FRIENDLY ALL ROUND

We had a drink before going on to the restaurant. It was a very good start to the evening by seating in their beer garden.

A decent pub, friendly bar man, friendly regulars, good choice of real ales, and especially important; the beer was in very good condition! They show the sport and have a functional beer garden. My only criticism is the benches outside were quite wobbly and the peeling paint came off on my arm. Will definitely be back.

Good pub, sometimes closes early

Nice friendly local. Glad to see it back open again.

Great new owners, beers cater for enjoyers and just pubgoers. Lovely long beer garden too.

Went to the pub with a group of friends had a great time. Also had lots of children with us. And the play Area was good to but the only thing I would say. It would be nice to have some seating area down there to sit and keep an eye on the children when they are playing.

Fantastic new Landlords into there second week now, the place looking refreshed and the addition of many new drinks, including spirits, lagers and ales, a new pool table in the back bar and food and events on the way, exciting times for this much loved village pub 👌

Food was slow to arrive, staff were unfriendly and the table we were given was far too small to accommodate our party. A really bad experience, I would avoid this place in future.

Watched match in there, was met with Hillsborough slurs, spoke to the landlord, he was fine with it and asked me to leave.

Nice large area out the back, dogs allowed. Unfortunately its shutting down in 2 weeks as there is just not enough punters! Shame!

It was a good place to stop for a couple of pints before heading for a curry. Friendly and helpful staff. The pub also seems to welcome dogs, as there were large and small ones at all times.

Great pub. Friendly and accurately priced. Have a pint and random chat with a local. Good Times!

Swojskie klimaty. Smaczne jedzenie

Nothing of interest. No food. Local pub only.

Nice atmosphere and good beer. A traditional pub.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Great for watching The Lions rugby!

A proper english, rustic country pub in a beautiful old wooden beamed building with a large pub garden out the back which leads into another big garden with a swings and slides etc for the children ! Nice relaxed atmosphere and mix of different types of people. And most importantly a good selection of nice dogs to say hello to! 🤩🤩🤩 We went here to watch the Lions Match and they have screens up everywhere for people who are interested in it. Very easy to see the screens if you are watching sport. The wooden beams, wooden floor and wooden everything inside makes you feel instantly at home and comfortable in a proper country pub. The building is lovely and the outside area is big and very fun. After 4 when foood stops being served you can get food from the turkish van next to the pub, and they allow you to bring it in the pub.

Nice and friendly pub and great Mediterranean graps next to it. Friendly owners. Definitely we will be back

It was ok. I think some areas need some fix like the garden and patio area. However I think it's being worked on.

One of the most amazing free houses i have visited. Great food, home grown veg and herbs, local produce, ciders, and ales. Staff and owner are fantastic!!!!

Friendly and helpful staff, beer is standard cask stuff, would be nice to have some more exciting options.

The Duke has been refurbished by the current landlord to a very high standard. It is really clean, the staff are attentive and abide by the new Covid guidelines brilliantly. I would highly recommended the Duke for families and friends who wish to catch up following the recent restrictions. A lovely, friendly atmosphere has been restored at this historical village pub.

Friendly staff, well priced beer and showing the football!

Popped into this place today to watch a football match and have a couple of beers urrgh flat distasteful muck I was served by a miserable looking woman, I then heard the man behind the bar get very hissy with some lads who were supporting their team, he didn’t like the fact his team was loosing and did loose, so he told them they were barred. I thought pubs we’re supposed to shut before ten but he was still serving at ten 39 . Rough and raw is my opinion best left alone. Gs

Popped into night for a couple of drinks before supper. The Stella was good and the pino Grigio was good.We will be back another day

Great beers shame about the spurs result

Not actually a bad pub. If you are beer drinkers. But where did they find such awful sauvignon blanc? And the price - eye watering. Can't drag my wife back there Sorry

Good pub, good beer, just watch out for the step!

A warm and friendly place.. Does get very busy but not so much that you cannot hold a conversation....it was a year ago since I first revued the Duke ..now to revisit and revise.. many events have been and gone but view much compassion amoungst regulars who are from many walks but they are like a family but not clicky . Tonight is a music night .last minute . com ..careoke .. great atmosphere.. so if you are reading this 23.11.19 ..pop along and enjoy a warm atmosphere and great people.. enjoy the setting ..food will be back on the menu quite soon .. watch this space..

My local. A little-ish pub that does quite a lot. Good food (I believe they rent out their kitchen and it has recently changed), local crowd, and excellent provision for watching sports. Excellent lounge bar also for when you want to hide from the screens. Huge and sunny beer garden. Could do with a greater selection of non-alcoholic beers.

Lovely beers and service was prompt and helpful

First time here and greeted with our first drink on the house. Live music was really good too. Recommend this lively,friendly pub

Stopped by for lunch just now and compelled to write a review. Great home made burgers - up there with the best we have had and that includes some of the more decent places in London, Bristol etc. Very kind staff who heated our baby's bottle and ran out to offer assistance when a freak rain shower passed by. Definitely would recommend the new burger menu and the nachos were also a good surprise for starters. Only down side was the coke was a bit flat.

Superb family pub, highly recommend

A very nice place to have drinks and also watch a film. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed so a good place to start your evening.

Hosts Karen and Paul v charming, friendly helpful. Garden delightful - separate area for the kids. Food good, nachos scrummy. Sat outside in the sun.The bar cool and a real old pub inside, like they should be. Made our day perfect, thankyou soo much. Loved the Pimms jug.

Really friendly... great food value for moneyserved hot! Lovely beer garden....will be back!

Lovely evening celebrating my son's 40th birthday. Thank you to the very welcoming staff.

Amazing Landlady helped with my additional needs son today and helped coax him down off a roof. She was patient and kind and can’t express my gratitude enough. Definitely give this place a visit! Xx

Great pub and we were very fortunate that the weather allowed us to sit in the outdoor beer garden and watch the chamipons league final between Tottenham and Liverpool

Lovely pub good seating areas inside and out. Good food

Lovely place - staff are friendly, the locally-sourced ales are tasty, and the garden out the back is splendid on a bright sunny day!

Lovely staff, 4 real ales on and a local one from Binghams, great to see local businesses supporting each other. Enjoyed a great home made burger form Flavour Town who run the kitchen too. I'll be back when I'm next in Twyford!

We enjoyed our meal. The burger was excellent

Dropped in for a pint and sandwich. Pint was fine, but paid £6.00 for a tuna mayonnaise sandwich which consisted of 2 thick slabs of bread between which was a minute/ trace of Tuna without no noticeable mayonnaise. The top of the sandwich was overlaid/ festooned with a pile of greenery and crisps. Absolutely unappetising and a throw back to 1950s catering. Felt robbed. As for friendly atmosphere that was nil.Tried to get the morose Landlord into conversation especially as I was on my own and felt in need of a distraction from the things on my mind at the time but no joy. He was more interested in one of his heavy drinker clients. It’s off my list!

Lovely garden and play area.. Lovely quaint old fashioned pub, small food menu but what we had was very tasty and well cooked

Igazi angol kocsma, sokféle sörrel, rengeteg hangos fiatallal. Korábban màr vacsoráztunk itt (jó volt) de most csak egy sörre ugrottam be.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and good food

Great for live music events. Friendly pub!

Go there most Sundays after football. They give us a good spread as sponsors and bartender Liam is a good lad 👌

1st time I've visited this pub and was impressed. Bar man was very pleasant and the food was excellent.

Lo mejor, el ambiente. La gente muy agradable y educada. Gracias por tratarme tan bien. Desde Cádiz, España... una abrazo.

They have started doing food. Great.

We popped in here for a gin in the afternoon as the pub advertises itself as having a gin bar. We were met with a rude barman who seemed to deny all knowledge of the gin selections and only on pressing him on the matter dug out a menu. Then they didn’t sell half on the tonics that were recommended to go with the gins. Our friend who ordered a coke had it poured from an old 2L bottled and it was flat. Disappointing.

My favourite pub love the staff live the atmosphere love everting

Good for beer, not so good for high class cuisine. We had a great time and the serving team were excellent.

Friendly, welcoming barman and nice, large outdoor patio for after dinner drinking. Indoors - lots of TVs for watching sports but they also have a quiet room with NO Tvs.

I used to enjoy going to this pub as it was an welcoming place to go, but recently it is anything but. It seems that the staff think they are doing you a favour by serving you. Their website says it serves lunch - but they don’t do any food now. The refurbishments to both the inside and out have been done well, but it has all been let down by the lack of enthusiasm to serve.

Decent boozer with an improved garden. No twiglets on sale though... disappointing..

Recently moved to Twyford. By a country mile this is THE best pub in Twyford! Family and dog friendly and the owners are the loveliest ever. Garden is HUGE... with a massive outdoor green space right out the back and then a huge garden down the steps with amazing play equipment for the little ones. Great range of drinks and the hubby loves the live sports. Atmosphere over the World Cup was something else with the large outdoor screen! we’ve made new friends and are so lucky to have The Duke at the heart of our village.

Good location with good range of beers. Only here for a short time but got good impression. Efficient friendly service and well kept beer at a good temperature. Well laid out garden area with neat artificial grass and good floral display. Appeared to be popular with locals. Less volume bar music would be helpful .

Friendly pub with great garden area.

This is a lovely friendly pub, we stopped here for a quick drink and bowl of chips. It was a glorious sunny day so sat outside in the lovely gardens. Good variety of drinks available.

They charged £25 a ticket for Twyfest, locked the loos inside so everyone had to use a really smelly portacabin outside with only 3 loos per sex. We asked for a Pimms - a not unreasonable request on a hot sunny afternoon at 5pm - to be told they didn't have any. No apology, an immediate refusal of my suggestion that they perhaps go and get some - the attitude was very much "take it or leave it, we don't care". It may be a nice pub for locals, but if you're not a local I'd suggest trying a different one. EDIT: While it is extremely flattering to be called a "spoilt little brat", I'm in my mid 40s and my friend is a 55 year old breast cancer survivor. On the contrary, no one applauded - your security chap actually apologised for what he agreed was a totally disproportionate response from you to customers who had merely complained, and he refunded the £50 we spent on tickets that you told us you would keep because "you could, it's your pub". If self-entitlement extends to expecting either the gig you've paid for or your money back then yes, I guess I am self-entitled. The bassist, Davey, came out to ask why we weren't back in the tent after you'd (inexplicably to him and to us) removed everyone half way through the soundcheck (which is what we complained about and were thrown out for complaining about). We declined his offer to come back in because it really wasn't worth your aggravation, and (contrary to your opinion) we respect rules (we are both autistic individuals), and we very much enjoyed seeing him again when he came back out to us after the gig. If you're going to host gigs, you should be able to take customers returning the attitude you give to them. Pretending we were aggressive and "foul-mouthed" when I was articulate and sarcastic (yes) is just ridiculous. If you had not already taken exception to our complaints about the Pimms and locking the loos, I suspect you would not have treated us so badly. As it was you threatened me with removal by the Police, which as I said at the time, was clearly ludicrous since I had done nothing at all beyond voicing that removing people from the tent halfway through the soundcheck was crazy. I merely calmly refused to accede to your threats, and refused to leave until you refunded me, which occurred. Of course we will not come back - why would we? I have survived 43 years of happy gig going without ever having to visit your pub. In all my years of moshes I have never met such treatment - it is the equivalent of a hard-hitting comedian being unable to withstand a mild heckle without bursting into tears :)

I’ve been going to the Duke for years. It’s a lovely and friendly pub made even better by all the positive changes made by the new owners in the last couple of years. Their event ‘Twyfest’ is a brilliant event and really brings the community together. All in all a great family run pub.

Went to Twyfest on Saturday, I was really looking forward to seeing the PWEI. Found the staff unfriendly. Toilets in pub locked and had to use the portsloos which were already smelly. (I've been to Glastonbury I know smelly loos!) Staff really rude to my friend and myself. I would never go there again. I work in pub/restaurant and know about customer service. Think they all need to go on a customer service course. Don't think they like people that are not local!

Twyfest 2018 was an absolutely fantastic event! Great to see the local community getting together and putting on an amazing week. Shout out to all the sponsors and all the staff at the Duke for making it all possible. Made to feel really welcome by everyone. Landlord and Landlady are brilliant.

Yet again Twyfest was an amazing event. The Wurzels were terrific & Band Day was outstanding. Thanks to all involved, in particular the hard working volunteers for giving their time and energy to look after everyone and make it a success yet again

Well once again Twyfest hasn’t disappointed. Amazing staff, amazing entertainment, well priced and will for sure back again next year! Even with out Twyfest the pub is warm and welcoming with lovely bar staff!

I have frequented the Duke of Wellington for many ayears. Every time I walk through those doors I am welcomed by all staff and have a great time. The staff and everyone at the Duke of Wellington go above and beyond to welcome every individual who walks through their doors. Creating a great atmsposhere, putting on enjoyable events and ensuring a great time for all. Throughly recommended.

Thank you Karen, Paul, River, Andrew and all your amazing team for a fantastic Twyfest. A superb week of fun, laughs and first class entertainment. Cannot believe the quality of the acts in Twyford's Got Talent today! So amazing to see all ages of our local community brought together to enjoy themselves and raise lots of money for charity. Well done to you all - great times in a great pub!!!

This pub is one of the best I have been to. And this last week they have put on twyfest which I can imagine with all the planning is the most difficult thing you could ever put on. But as per usual with this pub is they have created the most inclusive and amazing place you could ever be. I am so glad to be “one of the locals”

Always loved this pub but WOW! In all the years being at Twyfest and most of the events, it only gets better and better!! Massive credit to the Landlord and Landlady for not only running this fantastic pub but also organising this amazing community festival! Also the Twyfest team, and Duke of Wellington crew, volunteer staff to boot, you were all amazing!! What a lovely community. Amazing events! I love being part of the incredible success that Twyfest is!! Can't wait for next year!! I would challenge another village to compete as the support and community spirit this lovely village has is AMAZING and is only growing and growing! Well done!

This is the third year I have been to TwyFest and it didn’t disappoint. The Landlord and Landlady put in a huge amount of effort each year to put together this event. Assisted by a group of local volunteers this is a real celebration of community. The Duke is a great pub full of friendly faces. Thank you !

I have frequented the Duke of Wellington for many ayears. Every time I walk through those doors I am welcomed by all staff and have a great time.

An incredible week of entertainment at Twyfest hosted by the Duke of Wellington. Such hard work by Paul and Karen. River and Andrew, and all the rest of the team. Loads of money raised for local charities and a community brought together to share happy times. Awesome work - thank you all!!!

Love it here, staff are friendly, entertainment events are great, highly recommend it.

This pub charges £25 per person for "Twyfest" and then they lock the loos inside, so there are only 3 disgustingly smelly loos oustide per sex ... 5PM on a hot sunny Saturday and they have run out of Pimms, and no, they won't go and get any - and yes, they will give you a massive attitude with it, no apology whatsoever. I was even told by the landlady and landlord that my opinion, as the customer, was of no interest to them, and I should "google" if I wanted my money back. This is the first time I have come to "Twyfest" and it will be absolutely the last based on their total disregard for their customers. I got my money back from a security chap who was actually reasonable - hopefully he will get it back from the extremely arrogant landlords.

Great pub in Twyford, had live band on which created great vibe.

Not great. Food pretty awful and crisp packet lookes like a mouse had been at it. Rather unloved place.
