Oakingham Belle in Wokingham

Staff were very efficient and food was delicious. Especially the chicken kebab. We hope to be back again soon very soon :)

Thank you all for making my husbands birthday meal so special n glad you enjoyed the cupcakes aswell as us ...thank you again ...Mandy 🙂🙂

The service & food was both amazing! Such a friendly environment and beautiful setting. Would totally recommend the chicken burger it was DEVINE!

Such a fantastic pub! The food is truly to dying for! The service is phenomenal and the bar staff are such lovely chatty souls. I would highly recommend this pub for any occasions whether it be a couple drinks or a full meal. Honestly wonderful. 10/10

We booked a table for 1pm & arrived a little early , we were shown straight to a table my a lovely lady called Carly she remembered us from a previous visit . We had not been for a while & we were looking forward to our lunch . We ordered our drinks & received them quite promptly . Carly remembered my sister was visually impaired & put her drink in front of her hand 😀. The restaurant was very busy & only the 2 girls serving they were rushed off their feet . The service after that went down hill , a long wait for starters & the mains even longer . We received our mains from a man who I assume had just started work they were cold . We did eat the chicken however the fries were unedible . At this point we were still waiting for a second round of drinks & I had to ask again . The girls who were serving could not work any harder . Shame on the management for running the pub like this . I would have thrown in the towel a long time ago . Not an experience I would like to repeat & feel our money was wasted !!!!!

Plenty of parking and great decor. Staff all lovely and very accommodating. This is where the good news stopped. Ordered hunters chicken which consisted of a tiny piece of chicken with a couple of bits of shrivelled up bacon and very little bbq sauce, chips just scattered on the plate so not good visually or anywhere near good value for money, son had the same with the salad which he said wasn’t fresh. The other dish ordered was the chicken pie which was okay but once again presentation poor. Salted caramel sundae to die for. Could be the full package of the food was better.

Beautiful pub, great starters, disappointing mains. Medium well steak was extra well done and rubbery, mash had a skin on top and the so called beef dripping gravy was tasteless. Pie looked shop bought and had no flavor, chips are better from Iceland. Feta cheese and calamari starter was vert nice though...

An excellent pub. The food is excellent, and the servers are genuinely nice. This is by far one of the best pubs I have found in England!

It was very busy but our lovely waitress Abbie made sure we were happy keeping us topped up on drinks. As a chef I thought the food was lovely, perfect for the setting and very filling. My parents have made it there spot for special occasions. Thank you to our lovely waitress Abbie

Friends enjoyed Lunch at Oakingham Belle today. Booked the table on line, an easy process. Staff greeting included asking if any of the party had any allergies, an important question for any affected. The lunch menu was good, lots of variety and our food was served in a timely manner. Friendly accommodating staff Fair price Definitely worth a visit.

My wife and I had a meal and drinks here when we stayed at the Hilton opposite. The food, presentation and friendliness of the staff was second to none. Highly recommended and thank you

Standard fare from a Marstons. We were welcomed, seated and ordered drinks nice and quickly. Food was then ordered with the starter arriving quickly and then followed by a couple of main dishes. Everything was served nice and warm

Fantastic meal. Food quality was excellent, particularly the starters - Sticky Chicken (which was particularly gorgeous) and the Calamari. Highly recommended.

Served by waitress Hannah on 5/6/24, she was very friendly and helpful. The food came promptly and when it did it was good quality, tasty and good sized portions. I would say that for pub style food (pies, steaks, burgers, fish and chips) it is one of the best ones in Wokingham.

Friendly, helpful staff, we really enjoyed our Father’s Day lunch. Our dog loved the complimentary treats! We will definitely be back.

Great service from Robert, the roast was plentiful and very tasty! Robert was very attentive to detail. We had a lovely evening

Oakingham belle was always our go to restaurant for a family get together after today it will not , visit for early Mother’s Day lunch . Waited ages between courses , 3 of us had sirloin all of them were chewy and gristly and small, one was actually inedible . 2 had the americano steaks . Very underwhelmed one was Just ok the other was dry and gristly , we asked for the inedible steak to be changed for a difference meal which was done at this point was shown the specials board , bit late but hey ho. ,the replacement meal took forever and had to chase it up upon which it appeared instantly , my poor mum had to sit and eat her Mother’s Day meal after everyone had Long finished theirs , and to be fair didn’t rally want it by then . We then ordered desserts , again we waited and waited and eventually asked where they were and once again it appeared straight away a chocolate melted mess with melted ice cream as obviously had been sitting around was offered to take back and re do but at this point we didn’t want to eat desserts separately as we had the mains. We all decided we had had enough as in 2.5 hours had only had I starters and the mains and lost the will To wait again , We asked for the manager he was apologetic, we refused to pay for the inedible food , paid and left so thank you oakingham belle for ruining our Mother’s Day meal and you vote with your feet and none is us will be returning in the future

Fabulous bingo night as always. Great food and atmosphere. Well done Carly. Scampi and the soup with warmed bread were delicious

I really enjoyed the chicken and chorizo kebab. Cooked well and seasoned beautifully. The staff were patient and well mannered. I came with family for a birthday and we were treated well. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent meal, quickly served by very friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely return if visiting the area again

Well worth the visit.Been there twice now. Lucas was our main server.Attention to detail.Kept checking back to see if we needed any more drinks.Very quick service.Food was amazing.Dog friendly,may take our dog next time.The food was very tasty.We went with our daughter and wife who are vegetarians and were very impressed.Also do blue light discount,so saved around £18.

Staff were amazing five star service. Venue was very welcoming, clean and has a great atmosphere. Dogs are welcome too which is a great bonus.

The coke is very nice.Its very dog friendly the staff are amazing it is clean great atmosphere it is a five star service..

Have just had lunch at the Oakingham Belle, The food was excellent, The Sea Base was delicious, and the staff was very attentive, A lovely place to eat

Great food, amazing service and a lovely experience. Also amazing choice on their menu! We will definitely be back soon :)

Due to various occasions, I’ve been here 4 times in the last couple of months and each time the food has been gorgeous. 3 of the 4 times I’ve had the same server, Lucas, who I think deserves a bonus or some kind of recognition. He’s so friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The other time with a different server, the service was admittedly very slow, but the food was still lovely. I will keep coming here and definitely recommend to others.

we had a large work gathering of 34 people of which Xi very kindly accommodated. We wanted to eat here as it caters for all, vegetarian, Gluten Free, Vegan etc.. and they did not disappoint. The food and service was on point and we were made to feel very welcome not a burden. the team were amazing as was the food. Thank you all we will be back

We have had some good meals at the Oakingham Belle but tonight’s meal and particularly the service was very disappointing. We waited for a long time to even be asked for a drink, there was a long wait for starters and then an even longer wait for mains. When I chased up our order, no apology. We had no cutlery when our mains arrived so the waiter decided to grab a handful and drop them into the middle of the table. Not the best service! My “special” meal was very disappointing and tasted a little strange so I sent it back. They had to check with the kitchen if they were able to offer me anything else. The rice on the curries was cold but we’d given up by this point! Staff standing around chatting and a complete lack of service. We had to call them over for everything. Such a shame this pub has gone downhill. The management really need to review service levels and kitchen turnaround times.

We used to go here every Sunday, but haven’t been for 4 months because of the service/quality of food going downhill. We decided to give them another try on Sunday 11th February, arrived at 3.20, ordered garlic bread and 4 lots of fish n chips, garlic bread came every thing was ok, but then we had to wait ages for our main course, a member of staff (male) came and asked us if we had FINISHED? Because of the time we had been waiting he thought he had already eaten. The service was terrible bearing in mind the pub was half empty. Okingham belle really has gone downhill since it first opened. We all wanted a desert but could not wait another hour for the desert. Very very disappointed with our visit.

Amazing place, fantastic atmosphere, staff were friendly, the quality of the drinks were excellent and the overall place was great, it’s ones of those pubs you bring your friends and family to

Best spot in the area! Good food with a relaxing environment! Reasonably priced for the amount of food . Will definitely be back for the Sunday roast

Great British pub. Friendly staff and bubbly atmosphere. Would definitely recommended. Free car park and electric charger

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent value for money. Elouise was a superstar!! Lovely ambience and just a good hearty pub meal.

Despite the reduction in dishes we originally chose, a particularly helpful waitress liaised with the chef to get us a delicious meal.. I do hope the goats cheese lasagne stays on the new menu. A particular thank you to our waitress (sadly we didnt get...

3rd visit with a similar experience. This time, the booked table wasn't ready. It was a Sunday, and once again, they we're out of roasts. The table next to us arrived 15mins after us, yet got their food 10mins before us. Kids' fries were overdone,...

3rd time I've been on a Sunday only to be told they've run out of roasts. Poor planning, sloppy restaurant. Loud and trashy vibe.

Very good service and attentive staff. Lunch was really good, will definitely come back. Lovely clean and well presented Pub!

Suuuuch amazing service. We come here every 2 weeks for dinner and bingo. We LOVE it! Always look forward to our next visit :)

Lovely Pub, great friendly staff, great food. They do great bingo and quiz nights. I highly recommend the Oakingham Belle.

Always an amazing experience with great food and a lovely, welcoming family atmosphere - the team go above and beyond and you can tell they all really care and want you to have a great experience.

We had an evening meal here as we were staying at a nearby hotel. We were a table of 4 and really impressed with both the service and food. We shared the Camembert for starter and it was unreal! My buttermilk chicken burger was also...

Great food, drinks and atmosphere for a relaxed lunch. Quick service and excellent staff. One of our locals and a pleasure to go.

Great food again and excellent service but as it was Xmas Eve it was very very noisy and the younger children in the restaurant were very excited and hyperactive

Just popped in for a coffee and snack. The nachos were really nice and service was great. I went to the bar to purchase, friendly staff and prompt service.

It's Christmas Day, so you know it's going to be busy but still....arrived at allotted time and our table from earlier sitting were still waiting for deserts. So asked to wait at the bar with numerous others. We were eventually given another table , took...

Fantastic pub. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. Food is great, as well as the service. Regular visitor to this pub for dinner and also their Bingo nights. Highly recommend!

Good selection of beers, decent food, all with excellent, friendly service from a committed team. Gets the balance right between pub and restaurant and is very well managed. (The Christmas dog walk followed by breakfast and an audience with Santa for the kids was a...

Excellent service, Carly and Elouise were absolutely fantastic. We wanted for nothing. Food was amazing. Made our work Christmas party very enjoyable.

Incredible family meal for 10. Food was really good and service too. Will return again with my family and friends closer to Xmas

We visited as a large group of adults and teenagers for a Christmas lunch. We had a whole area allocated to us so we didn’t disturb smaller groups of diners, which meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves. The food was really good, with very...

Excellent food excellent service Lucas our waiter was brilliant can’t fault the service food simply perfect warm friendly atmosphere can be noisy within children but not too bad lovely Garden for the summer

Food was awesome here and served by Carly - She’s amazing! Friendly from the start and constantly visible and checking in on us. Honestly, one of the best places to eat for food and service in Wokingham!

Good food, great service, all round a very enjoyable evening. Would happily visit again and recommend to friends.

Great food! Really enjoyed the festive menu. Great for a friend’s gathering. Cozy and welcoming environment

Lovely venue, took a while between starter and main - almost like they'd forgotten us but the server was extremely polite about it and kept us well attended after. The food was delicious, we'll definitely be returning.

Excellent meal and fantastic service from Robert and Lucas. Kebabs were amazing steak was fabulous Thank you

What an excellent restaurant, a nice warm welcome on arrival and shown straight to our table. The service was excellent and friendly and although they were packed out reasonably quick. The food was excellent and the portions extremely generous. All in all a lovely meal...

Amazing customer service! Robert is the best! Food amazing!! 100%recommend it! Lovely atmosphere with beautiful Christmas decorations!

Our third visit here, and, as on our previous visits, the staff were all very friendly and efficient. I had scampi and chips and my partner had a burger, both were excellent. The restaurant is very pleasant and comfortable, and we will definitely return.

Fantastic environment and really lovely staff. Quality of the food and drink is always amazing! It’s such a perfect place to come with friends for a catch up or for a couple’s dinner.

Great meal and ambience. A very attentive Waiter Robert who ensured we were happy with our meals. We will definitely return.

Nothing special about this restaurant. I had the scampi with mushy peas it was overpriced for what it was. I had to search for the scampi hidden within an excessive amount of batter and the mushy peas were more like a puree! Very disappointing and...

Pleasant lunchtime with a warm welcome and attentive service from Carly. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Staff very friendly and helpful. I had the sweet potato and chickpea curry and my husband had pie of the day. All really lovely

Fabulous meal , and brilliant waitress Ellie Will definitely return . Felt very welcome and a great relaxed atmosphere

The pub itself is gorgeous, nice ambiance etc. The food was nice, however my veggie burger should have been served with ‘Thai slaw’, which I was really excited to try, after being served the food the waiter told me that they’d run out of the...

Braved the impending storms to get a bite to eat with my partner and the dog. Great lunch deal - chicken tenders were beautiful and crunchy with the chicken still tender and soft. Definitely recommend!

Food didn’t come out as what was written on the menu, quite bland and panna cotta was not set. Staff are nice and we’re apologetic about the dessert but quite disappointing overall!

Fabulous food. Had a nice evening staff very friendly and pleasant, when we got the food on our table it looked great and worth the price. And best of all we had our Dog with us 🐕👍. Great stuff Guys 👌

It was lovely and all the staff very friendly and provide a very good service! Shout out to Carly who we knew before Oakingham Bell but she is still amazing! Thanks for all your hard work! X

Just want to say we had an excellent experience at the Oakingham Belle for lunch on Saturday. A group of 11 of us for a big family birthday event, the service was good with careful attention to our slightly complicated dietary needs, but the food...

Five of us went for what we hoped would be a nice meal as the pub is very nice but how wrong we were, the food is at best pretty dire and the service off a grump waitress didn’t help two of us had steaks...

Not our first visit. Excellent service, great food, every time we have previously visited. A great setting with great furnishings. Would definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

Lovely pub! Always lovely staff and love the Bingo and Quiz nights. Food is always excellent. Will keep coming back for more.

Nice place and nice food but no good ad a pub ..they close at 10 even on a friday night as staff always say they are tired . So once you have eaten you have to go somewhere else as they want you out ..not...

My only gripe would be the front door greeter, she was a little off hand, my bookings for some reason didn’t go through.. I thought it had (my bad for not checking) yes it was busy but, she was very hesitant and at one point...

I don’t usually write reviews but felt I had to this time. This a lovely looking family pub. However, my 2 year old son was not welcomed by one waitress who tutted, rolled her eyes and visibly flapped her arms in a gesture of annoyance...

Excellent Food - Massive Portions Good service Attentive waiters Reasonable price. - we will be returning

plenty of food options. friendly staff. they also have electricity car charging point. big garden and nice beer. could stay here all day if I have time

7pm Monday evening - no food! 🤷🏻‍♀️ What can you say!!! Bad management. Obviously won’t be trying here again! Girl spoke to us like we were asking for something unusual. Walked straight out & found somewhere that could serve its customers.

Excellent family vibe on a Friday afternoon/evening. Nice food with excellent service and good value for money. Had a live band, good variety of alcohol, food was lovely, all at excellent prices.

Went for Sunday lunch. Service was great. Lovely waitress, food was good quality, however half of it was luke warm so it went cold. Plates were cold. Chef needs to be more mindful before food leaves the kitchen.
