Rode for hours and then was met by a grumpy bloke who said that it was now shut for a private function! Won't bother going again and there's a much nicer cafe just 20 minutes away. Edit - maybe updating your Facebook page and Google maps would have saved us a ride!!!!!!!

A once nice place getting ruined by bolshy men in leather waistcoats showing outlaw MC gang emblems. It would be nice to be able to get a drink or some food without getting shoved about by men pretending they're in the Son's of Anarchy! Gang emblems should be banned. I'll add that I gave this place another go only to ge charged an exorbitant amount of money for scraggly chicken and appallingly badly tasting chips.

Regular attendee of their Thursday bike nights which are very well run. Get there early as spaces are limited though staff do a great job of helping bikes park along the road. Food is great and prices are fair for the area. They did have a lovely lemony alcohol free beer a while back but I haven't seen it for a while (never drink and ride) but they always have something NA available. Great atmosphere with a great mix of bikers from huge Victory sleds, big wallet promoting GS's, full power ranger sports, thick necked naked bikes and training wheel 125s. You won't feel out of place here. Only been on a bike night but I'm sure it's lovely the other 6 days of the week 😉

Great pub and very accessible especially for motorcycles on the old Basi to London road which is a much better choice than the M3. Food is reasonably priced and barbecues are frequently put on with lots of outdoor seating as well as covered seating areas. You can still pay with cash (usually my choice) at the moment but card payment is preferred.

No longer accepting cash as payment, shame, guess I'll have to take my money up the road-a piece! In response to owners reply below - The day I left the review I had ridden back from Chiswick, passing a few cafes, knowing that I could get a decent coffee & a bite to eat at the Iron Bull, saw the 'card payment' sign at the till which was reiterated by a young bloke (sitting at a table using his laptop) who said he couldn't serve me as I only had cash. If I had known about the policy change I would of stopped somewhere else. Previously been to a few of the bike nights, used to pop in once every couple of weeks for lunch as a group of four after a dog walk, & miss popping in to buy a coffee to put in my thermos to take to a mid-week bike meet where the coffee isn't as good. I'll stick with paying cash for what I can, for as long as I can thank you.

Popped in on a Sunday late afternoon/early evening. Warm and sunny so sat in the garden with a cold “forged Irish stout” and a bag of crisps. Considering this is a bikers meeting place, it was fairly empty apart from 2 bikers and myself and my wife. Very clean bar with a good selection of beers but sadly kitchen closed at this time. Toilets absolutely sparkling and cleaner than my own “big” at home. Would I come back? Yes, I absolutely would!

Used to be ok, although now the motorbikes park dangerously, this pub think they own the dual carriageway out the front. They put their own traffic cones out to try and control traffic to suit themselves. Pass with caution ⚠️. Accident waiting to happen here!

Had the peri peri chicken livers and the Boerewors roll. Both items were not as amazing as what previous reviews have said. The piece of Boerewors sausage was so tiny compared to the roll it was on. There was no peri peri sauce on the chicken livers. Not even spicy. Service was underwhelming and not one person from the staff came to ask if we wanted anything else or if the food was OK. Sadly we won't be returning.

We took a drive from Oxfordshire to dine here. About a 42 minute beautiful scenic drive to get there. Hospitality is friendly and warm. The food was just as we like it and reminded us of a blend of an English breakfast and a South African Wimpy breakfast. Bacon was streaky as we know and love it. Mrs. Balls chutney offered as a sauce! Overall a lovely experience. Highly recommend. Go early.

Beautiful food, I had the Biltong burger and it was the best burger I've ever eaten. I wish we lived closer so I could come back regularly to try even more dishes on the fantastic menu and sadly tomorrow morning we are driving back to Scotland. Prices are very reasonable if you take into account the high quality ingredients they use. Also it is a dog friendly place with a bowl of dog treats on the bar and an enclosed little garden at the back.

Seems the last 3 times we've visted for brekky its got worse. Started when we had waited almost an hour for the breakfast ( we were given 50% off which is decent) the next time the eggs were hard not as ordered, toast was almost cold. The last time we were missing a hash brown so by the time it came out over half the plate was eaten, and when the rosti finally arrived it was stone cold inside so hadn't been cooked, the incorrect rosti had been plated so waited a few mins more for the cooked rosti. The drinks were not served until we had finished our breakfast after we had to remind that we had ordered drinks at arrival. Sadly I can't help feel that they are suffering with staff shortages a little, but these are my experiences. I also think a rethink of the outside seating area / smoking area is needed. When we came in the summer the only place to sit was outside, which eating cigarette smoke with each mouthful of food was not pleasant being a non smoker, surely this needs to be looked at.

Fantastic roadhouse (pub & restaurant) with a great atmosphere no matter when you go! Value for money in quantity and quality! Super delicious tasty food (Safa style) by the brilliant chef Toni, run by the awesome cool dude Paul. Certainly recommend to you, no matter your age, this place is the place to be for fun, drink, food, socialising and relaxing! Outside sitting area is also covered and protected from wind, so big choice on where to sit/chill on your visit. This time round (6th time there) we had ribs and chips (3x) and Oxtail Stew with rice (1x) so delicious! You have to pay this little gem a visit, it's a must! (Dog friendly too!)

I usually enjoy my breakfasts here but today was not one of those occasions. Would prefer traditionally British cut bacon than the American streaky stuff but hey. Tasty sausages. Fluffy pancakes. Mushrooms were full of water and not much flavour. Not sure if the tomato was meant to be grilled, fried or what but it seemed pretty fresh. I was mostly disappointed with the amount of oil that was on the plate. It was clean oil at least but even still a couple of seconds to drain/rest/dry would have been better than what I was presented with. I wasn’t sure of the extent but when I lifted the bowl my beans were in, it was quite clear as it was dripping heavily and whilst trying to take a photo, inadvertently dripped it onto my trousers. Overall, today was a bit of a shame really because I usually enjoy the food here but just not today.

What makes this bar/café/diner special? Firstly, very friendly staff (and owner). I have been a few times now, firstly to try their breakfast, which we found to be very good. Very good quality food and at a good price. Then, as a drop-in for a coffee and a snack (like a coffee shop) - only much better! Other customers stroll in and greet you with a smile and hello (like in days of the past!) It is a must-go-to place for bikers and I have seen for myself how buzzing it is on evenings when bikers get-together. It is not just a pub, nor restaurant, nor café. Different and very highly recommended!

Popped in on the way to Farnborough. I follow their page on Facebook and had seen several positive mentions on the uk biker cafe Facebook group, especially around breakfast!! I was greeted by a lovely lady who was tidying up outside, she said to go in and make myself comfortable. I ordered tea (Yorkshire tea!! My favourite!!) and a small breakfast. I swapped the disgusting blood sausage for a hash brown, no additional charge, and waited for my breakfast. As I was waiting, I took in the biker memorabilia and pictures that decorate the restaurant. Was chatting to the front of house manager, she was telling me about the biker nights they have, where they launch the smoker and do great smoked and BBQ food. Breakfast was superb. Good quality food. Eggs great. Sausage was quality. Bacon just right. Throughly enjoyed it. Good value at just over £12 for 2 teas and breakfast. Finally saw Paul who runs the place. He cooked breakfast and it was smashing. They are getting a new chef soon so hoping they can at least match Paul’s quality cooking!!

I've seen the Roadhouse on Facebook and as it gets so many 5 star reviews, I had to give it a try. I was there in the morning so ordered the small English breakfast. Although small is a bit misleading. I'd say it was much the same size as most places serve. Good job I didn't order the large as I would have struggled to eat it all. The food was cooked perfectly and the young lady who served me was very friendly and polite. I will definitely be returning.
