Podium Place in West Berkshire

Absolutely loved everything about the restaurant. Food was a really high standard, well presented and a good variety (everything from turkey with all the trimmings to a vegan pithivier). The waiters/waitresses were a little shy but we had great service. It's an absolute bargain for a 3 course christmas dinner (£20!), what's not to like

Beth has made many lovely treats for us, and they’re amazing every time. She’s so talented when it comes to both the taste of the items and the design. Thank you so much!

Tucked away in a retirement complex is this super little place offering a variety of delicious food, all home made, at ridiculously reasonable prices, prepared and served by a lovely couple. Find it and give it a try.

This place is a slice of perfection that delivered a 5 star experience across the board. Friendly and helpful staff greeted us and sat us down. The ambience and the decor is so warm and inviting but whilst it is a bit posh and a bit fancy, it has a sense of fun about it as well. I felt special without feeling uncomfortable. My wife and I were in for Sunday Lunch and I have to tell you, I was really hungry! When our mains arrived I was impressed with the look and variety of items on the plate and there was plenty of it. The Lamb was beautiful and every element on the plate was perfect individually but when it all came together it was mind blowing food. I had lamb, my wife had beef and they came with all the trimmings you would expect including cauliflower cheese on the side. The buttery veg and the sweet puree really gelled the whole dish together. For dessert we opted for a posset which was classically simple and delicious and super light which was very welcome after helping to finish my wife's main! She had the key lime pie and we had fun trying to guess the ingredients in the base, there were complex flavours in there that we just weren't sure of, that worked really well together. So we will have to go back and try again soon! 10 out of 10, the experience and the food was superb, I can't praise The Hartley Arms highly enough.
