The Atrium Cafe/Bar in Bracknell Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped off for lunch here as we were passing through Bracknell. Very impressed. My wife ordered the lamb koftas, sweet potato fries and the Greek salad. I did not order as I was not hungry. The food was so plentiful that I had to help out my wife with her meal and I’m glad that I did! Service was great, and it’s a fantastic location overlooking the park. We’ll certainly be back!

Bustling bar restaurant tucked away at the back of Southhill Park, one of the hidden gems of Bracknell. Sunday lunch was one of the best weve had with great service too. Quality and quantity of food was top class. Kids and veggie/gluten free options too. We will be back!

Not the biggest Menu in the worlds but the food is cooked very well and the portions are large. The waitress was friendly even if very busy All in All very good value for your money

Decided to have a meal before a show in the Wilde Theater, What a great meal the restaurant is fairly small so the lady that was serving had lots of time for us and made us feel really welcome. The food was excellent for the price which was great value. I was expecting a bit cafe food but was very wrong the food was delicious and plenty of it. Will definitely go back again as we only live round the corner should have gone before now.

Website states the business closes at 18:00. Sign on the door states it closes at 17:00. Got there at 16:40 and the door was closed. Staff were sitting in the outside seated area and told us they close at 17:00. I pointed out we still had 20 minutes to which the response was “last orders at 16:30!” It’s such a shame as made a special journey to finish off what had been a good weekend.

We had a delicious lunch at The Atrium Restaurant at South Hill Park. We started with some lovely glasses of wine and then both had the Caesar salads. They were enormous portions. I added the Haloumi which was delicious. I highly recommend the restaurant for its relaxed feel but excellent quality of meals. Prices are good as well.

Ate here before going to see a play. Apart from a tepid welcome, the evening was great. Good service and delicious food, ambience etc. Excellent value

I really enjoy going to the Atrium before a show, or the comedy cellar or on a casual summers day. The restaurant offers a good variety of choices. The salads are delicious!

Came at a very busy time, but still parked outside easily. Seven of us had booked in advance. Friendly staff. Rapid delivery of food once ordered. Piping hot and great quality. My fish and chips were excellent, and good sized portion. Only downside was lack of table service and need to join long queue at bar to order with only one person serving.

We visited South Hill Park yesterday on a busy Sunday afternoon for a film screening in the 60 seat cinema. The main restaurant was fully booked however we could order from the menu in the bar seating area which was fine. We ordered soup of the day and calamari. We didn’t like their pino grigio wine choice, the red rioja was more drinkable. Instead of the soup of the day being tomato and basil as stated on the board, I’m quite sure it was carrot. Despite this it was nice, with fresh bread and butter on the side and a square of focaccia served on top- nourishing and wholesome. The presentation could have been slightly more considered- the soup bowl reminded me of a school canteen. The calamari was ok but not great, as one would expect in a typical non gastropub. The tables were all quite scratched. We’ve booked the Purple Zeppelin show next week and opted out of the pre-show dining. Will return for a rioja fix!

Came here on Sunday afternoon for a mooch around the Mansion and then decided to have lunch. The restaurant was fairly busy and although there were plenty of serving staff on duty, the wait for food was a little long. When it arrived though, the roast dinner was very good indeed (although I noticed none of the other diners seemed to eat their Yorkshire puddings!). The stuffing meat was amazing. We both had a dessert afterwards - I had the Brownie and my girlfriend had the Stick Toffee Pudding - both excellent. Prices are a bit on the steep side but it was a nice meal and the surroundings outside are lovely.

Decent coffee, nice atmosphere, attentive staff, cakes and great allergen awareness make for a cracking coffee break. Plenty of indoor seating and also a huge terrace overlooking the parkland. Very reasonable pricing. What's not to like? Brilliant!!!

My wife and I dropped into the restaurant on Sunday (on the off-chnace) after a lovely walk around South Hill Park with the baby and mother-in-law in tow!. The helpful staff managed to get us seated (including space for the baby's pram) quickly and we ordered the Sunday Roast. All three adults ordered the Roast Beef. The food was delivered very quickly and very hot. 'Proper' roast beef, real roast potatoes and a huge home-made Yorkshire pudding arrived along with a separate big bowl of piping hot veg. The food was excellent and even the mother-in-law loved it, which is frankly the highest praise that can be given lol. Mid-range price but absolutely recommended. We will all be back soon to sample the rest of the menu. Please note that the surroundings are a bit basic if you're concerned about such things....but please don't let that stop you from sampling the great food that's on offer.

This is a great location. Set in beautiful park land. It was busy today and the decor is a bit tired but, the staff were good, it was clean and tidy, the coffee and cakes were delicious and its fairly well priced.

Came here for lunch with my husband and baby - wanted somewhere out of town but a nice setting.... The restaurant itself is quite small and is ina bit of a through area which is offputting. The chairs were filthy and in need to a deep clean or replacing. It is order at the bar, which I hadn’t realised (wasn’t mentioned when we sat down), so waited ages until the penny dropped. By this time, there was a large wedding party at the bar so it took a while to queue and pay. Bar staff seemed really uninterested in serving, preferring to chat to each other. The menu was not too varied but there was enough o. There for us to pick from - and the food itself was lovely, warm and good value. Shame really, I wanted this to be a nice meal but it was a bit stressful in the end.

We eat here regular as the staff are very very good and there is a wide and varied menu with plenty of Gluten Free options. It is very reasonably priced, clean and tidy with an amazing patio to just kick back and chill. Coffee and cake after the school run is also great and again there is always a GF option.

It’s one of our favourite places to sit outdoors when the sun is out and people watch. Unfortunately our first visit this year was disappointing for several reasons- the benches are all falling apart and warped so drinks are easily spilled and it’s uncomfortable to sit on as the whole bench moves whenever an individual moves; the new queue of system seems to have slowed service right down and the chips were ordered unpleasant. Such a shame but hopefully it will improve over the summer.

Been here and few times for English breakfast and it's always good but after an amazing Sunday roast I think its a about time I gave this place a 5 stars as never had a bad experince here. The staff were all friendly and really accommodating. The food was also amazing and all cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are very generous. The pudding was also good. My daughter also loved the pasta dish from the kids menu and ate an amazing amount of this. Can't recommend this place enough for families.

Popped in here for a pit stop on a Snow Day.

The Atrium seems to cater for all standard refreshment needs serving hot and cold beverages and food. It was a particularly cold day when we were there, so most people were having hot drinks in the bar area overlooking the grounds. The main restaurant area is behind bar in a tall atrium to the main building. You order your food and drinks at the bar. The lunch menu was fairly standard; nothing fancy but perfectly adequate for this type of venue and the service was prompt. Worth a visit if you're visiting the grounds or arts centre.

Booked to eat after the pantomime, dirty tables, food on the floor & very limited staff, menu was so limited....... to burgers or sandwiches it is sad really. This could be brilliant if only someone took some care.

Well... I had for the 1st time in 20 years ... steak... Not just any steak

We popped in for a quick drink and ended up having a delicious Sunday roast.

I went for a lunch date with my husband on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The terrace was too busy and hot to sit out on so we ventured inside hoping for some peace and a cooler spot. It is a beautiful location other than when we went it was in process of rerfurbishment and we had to walk passed the bin area on a hot sunny day to get to the restaurant....not pleasant!

Visited here after browsing the menu online, Sadly it was not the same as offered in the restaurant so... somewhat limited. Having booked our table reservation was not passed on to the restaurant by the foyer staff.... good thing it was not busy. The waitress...

Despite being a regular at South Hill Park for many years, I'd never been for a Sunday roast, which I'd heard lots of good things about.

Fuimos allí para un almuerzo familiar de domingo y qué comida era de comida bien preparada, con grandes porciones de carne y verduras. Tienes que reservar con antelación porque es tan popular. La comida estaba bien caliente caliente y sirve bastante rápido teniendo en cuenta...

Siempre encantador en la terraza cuando el sol brilla. Sólo tuvimos cafés, pero los niños quedaron solos tonta el verde y en el pequeño laberinto. Un lugar muy agradable.

great food , well priced , unlimited vegetables , improved service now, you used to have queue up at bar to order food , now the server comes to the table and takes orders , Please don't come on Sundays , as it often hard to book a table , only kidding , but do try and book

This is because they gave me a steak with pepper sauce instead of stilton & mushroom. Despite being assured it was right a few mouthfuls got the tongue burning so I insisted it was changed. That said the bavette steak was very nice and I also enjoyed the tasty goats cheese with roasted root veg starter. Shame we will not be able to use this facility (private dining room) next year.

Eat out couldn't be bothered to cook let someone else do it. Southhill park is a marvel for food and theatre and the great outside with it's location, right in the heart of Bracknell. It's an arts centre come and enjoy

Always a nice relaxing place to meet up with friends for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a good cup of coffee and a piece of cake, with lovely walks around the grounds and lakes.

The terrace outside the bar is a great place to kick back, relax and watch the world go by.A popular local venue does mean that st times the queue at the bar can be lengthy but it's worth the wait, the plastic glasses and the prices just to sit here and enjoy the sunshine.There's a pretty good food menu as well.

We preordered our meal as part of a theatre deal. The service was confused and slow . The food arrived luke warm. The table was not cleared between courses,and little attention was paid to us as diners. We barely made it to our seats in time so did not enjoy the experience.

Sunday roast 13th February. Superb meal, so fresh and cooked perfectly. Service was very good too. Definitely go again.

Sometimes the food is fantastic & others not so good, worth a try though. Friendly enough & helpful.

I went there as part of areasonably large group which meant we slightly overwhelmed the service counter. The facilities and food were all good and reasonably priced. The setting of South Hill park is beautiful.

This is one of our local stops. It is priced towards the higher end of the market and seems expensive at first glance but all the food and drink I've had from here has been good - hot and tasty. I'd recommend it for a lunch, but not somewhere to make a point of visiting just for food. If there is another reason to visit - and there are always loads of things going on here - it's a welcome place to recharge. Lovely in the summer too!

Had our second visit here for Sunday lunch last weekend and again it was really good.It's always best to book as it is very popular and ordering at the bar can sometimes be a bit of a pain of busy but the quality of the food, especially the cooking of the vegetables is one of the best we've tried in the area, and we've tried most of them.We'll continue to use this as out go to Sunday roast place.

Arts Centre restaurant and coffee shop, with fantastic views across the gardens to small lake & fountain; great place for people watching. Friendly staff serve great coffee with a good selection of fabulous cakes, some gluten-free. Good selection of hot food, including vegetarian options. If you want Sunday lunch, you need to book and if you want the roast, you need to order it. They do de-caff coffee but NOT de-caff tea, though they do a small range of herbal teas, but not everyone wants camomile or peppermint.

Lovely outdoor spot perfect for large groups, excellent spot for people watching as well.Good selection of Ales on tap and a nice cloudy cider. The menu is ok if a little limited,Makes for an entertaining afternoon though.

I have had Sunday lunch here on a number of occasions both in small groups and larger numbers. I enjoyed yet another splendid Sunday lunch her in May. They always provide a great variety of vegetables with plenty yo go around, whatever your group size.

Good range of food and suitable for veggiesAn attractive and roomy environment with polite well spoken staff and a good atmosphereOnly downside is that the front of the cafe is noisy because of the acoustics of the building. This has been remedied towards the back of the café.

Our association usually celebrates St George's Day. After being let down by the first venue we had planned they readily let us come here. We were placed in a side room with large tables just nice and cosy for us. Although we were all paying our own way on the night from their menu they coped admirably. They took the orders, brought the food (hot even though a way from the kitchen) and let us go individually to the bar later to pay for what we had had. The menu was limited but had enough variety to suit everyone. I enjoyed the duck pancake starter and the steak & stout pie. We liked the look of the patio and will try it out again one nice summers evening.

When the sun shines you'll usually find us on the terrace outside people watching.This is a nice bar with a decent menu but the star is outdoors. Sit on the terrace and watch the world go by in the park.Prices are a little over average but it's worth it for the atmosphere.For the real ale enthusiasts they have a good selection with local and guest ales.

South hill park is a lovely venue and it offers a lovely outside area for everyone to enjoy. They have a lots of interesting shows and also a wide variety of activities.The bar is pretty expensive for Bracknell and coupled together with mostly having to drink out of plastic glasses this does not help the experience!

We had a family outing here on a Sunday in February for roast dinners. Including children and grandchildren, there were nineteen of us. We were given a separate room to have to ourselves, which was unexpected but most welcome. Some of us have eaten here before, so we knew what to expect. In order to get a Sunday roast dinner sitting, it is imperative to phone the restaurant by 8pm on Saturday to reserve your seats. The service is very friendly and you don't have to wait too long for your food. Many restaurants serve excellent food, but the portions are too small. Conversely, many restaurants will serve you a pile of food that is not up to the standard that you might have hoped for. This restaurant serves top quality food, and lots of it! The prices were quite acceptable too. We had a thoroughly pleasant experience and will happily return in the future for more of the same. The bar serves a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices, and has wonderful vistas over South Hill Park. Altogether, a great place to visit.

There is a relaxed atmosphere here. It can get very busy at peak times, so it is advisable to book. There is a fairly extensive menu which caters for most tastes. The food is very much "pub grub" & is reasonably priced. It is tasty & well presented. The staff are very pleasant. It is ideal for a pre- theatre meal.

Good quick food.Good value for money, little bit expensive. But great quality products.Good atmosphere.

Turned up for a last minute lunch date, found something straight away that was suitable for my dietary needs, didn't have to wait very long for food, good sized, very tasty meal.

Have Been visiting south hill park for years and only recently have I eaten there, what a find this place is top notch, the food is excellent a really nice place to visit for lunch, haven't been here for dinner yet but will try it, very impressed with it all and it's only a 5 minute walk from my house! Result!

Well cooked, tasty and good value for money. Some old favourites on the menu but always something different too. A great place to pop into for a coffee and a cake. The Sunday roasts are amazing.

We love coming here in the summer as you can sit out on the terrace and watch the families having fun park. The food is pretty good, and they have a good selection of ales on tap.

we were recommended by a local to eat here, we very extremely pleased, lovely little place, with an amazing space outside to eat, picnic, kids to play etc. friendly staff, clean and great food

Nice place to come for a light bite or for a heartier meal.Roast dinners are particularly good here on a Sunday.Relaxing and casual dining.

Food is very well cooked and great for a pre theatre/cinema option. Good choice for children. Coffee and home made cakes are popular and drinks to take out on the lawn in the summer. Not the greatest atmosphere but good value food.

Decent coffee and both indoor and outdoor seating mean it is a good place to catch up with friends and family in small or larger groups. If sat outside nice views and oppounity to keep an eye on the kids in the park below. Great on a sunny day to have a drink outside. It's also nice to see some of the more creative types practicing dance moves for upcoming shows on the balcony.

The food in here is of a reasonable quality and the service is not too bad. It was busy when we visited and the bar was very understaffed for the custom that they had. You have to have expensive drinks in plastic cups if you wish to sit outside.It is a nice venue and a nice spot but could be better. Think we may have been there on an off day as people we know have recommended it to us?It is expensive for what it is. The beer prices must be the most or one of the most expensive in the area and in plastic glasses!

Wow what a wonderful restaurant this is. We eat regularly here, food is very good you can tell the chefs do a lot themselves. The Sunday roast is delicious. We eat there on a Sunday twice a month. The veg is cooked to perfection and the meats are always juicy and lovely. Couldn't recommend it more!
