What a wonderful find. My son and I popped in for lunch and we were very impressed. Superb service from all the staff. We both ordered Beef and Guiness pie which was sublime - every chunk of meat was tender and tasty - and the potato gratin we ordered as a side was wonderful. Outstanding food, service and ambience. Now firmly on our shortlist of best pubs for lunch - anywhere.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here on Mother's day. Food was excellent through all courses. Very friendly, polite and professional service. Will go again. Edit: Revisited today for Mum's birthday. Not disappointed at all. Good food, friendly, polite, discreet service. Will come again.

I had heard good things. But the night 5 of us went there to eat. 3 of us had fish and chips which was absolutely awful. Chips were like bricks and looked more like roast potatoes in size and running in fat that you could taste it all 3 meals were not eaten. Friends Steak was not done how she asked and had to be sent back. Then we waited 45 mins for deserts 3 of us again had the crumble couldnt eat it apple was hard and crumble was like cement no juice in crumble at all. 4 had starters scotch egg which they did enjoy. The mangeress was lovely couldnt apologise enough.

We were there on Burns night so it may have been busier than a normal Thursday. The staff and food were great. It's probably more a restaurant than a pub these days and the food was more expensive than our usual Thursday place although it was judged better too. They were also happy for us to bring our own birthday cake. There's a big garden by the pond for the summer when it arrives

Had a lovely lunch here today. A very nice pub with lovely Brakspear beers on tap and an exceptional menu. A log fire in the bar area kept things nice and warm. Furnishings were comfortable and there was plenty of space. Everything was prepared well and tasted great. The Venison shank literally fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. The sauce provided was a great touch and elevated the dish (would have liked more though;-)). The staff were attentive and friendly throughout. I will be back.

Fantastic food but the evening was let down by the constant reminders that the Bar closes at 11 and we would need to leave the pub. This started at 10.30 and we had reminders every 10 minutes. We felt pushed out and this spoilt the whole evening. Forced to leave the premises at 11pm, totally unacceptable.

Just having moved to Holyport, we were eager to try out this highly rated gastro pub - and we were not disappointed. Best food we've had since end of last year in Sweden. Bavette steak is one of my secret favourites, and this was cooked to perfection. I won't even mention the amazing chocolate fondant with the mouthwatering peppermint ice cream ... Service outstanding, greatest place we've been to in a very long time. Consider us your new regulars 🥰

Visited for Sunday lunch with my sister and a friend. I have been here a while ago before Covid and thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday lunch then so was hopping it hadn't changed. I was not disappointed we all had the roast beef and it was delicious!!! Managed to squeeze in a pear & apple crumble after. (it was a squeeze as it was a large portion....not a bad thing!) My sister also had crumble and said we should have shared on. Our friend opted for cheese but she is a bit fussy so was offered an alternative to menu choice....She said it was lovely. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially our South African server. I will be returning very soon.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food - good choice for vegetarians etc. Watch out for local parking restrictions: although there were no signs, people who had parked on the road outside the restaurant because the car park was full had to move their cars to avoid being ticketed by local traffic wardens - I ended up parking on one of the greens near the George on the Green pub. Many thanks to the waiting staff at the Belgian Arms for warning customers in time!

Food was incredible.....but there were some let downs. I personally don't like it when you have to order side dishes to makes up the veg in your plate. It annoys me as you never know this until the plate arrives. I did ask what was the portion size like, I was told it was pretty large. I do agree with that statement but the only veg was 3 asparagus spears which makes it all feel very unhealthy and at that price point, I do expect a reasonable away of veg, or it to be abundantly clear you will need other veg. As much as the argument may well be that I did get what was on the menu, rarely does anyone list all plated items so rarely do you know the veg coming so that was disappointing. We were also sat in a table where we had to ask to get past people everytime we wanted to get up for anything. The waitress had to do this the most, but it just felt awkward and uncomfortable. I'm fine with that if in for a drink in a packed place and, but not when eating a meal. It felt far nicer when that table was clear but it rarely was clear Also no music at all.....some background music would have been nice. But the food we ate was lovely. Please could you make it clearer that side veg is required or just please add a few more veg to the main, and maybe make sure that table that blocks the table you put us on only has 2 seats there.....if we were over weight I think it would have been really embarrassing as we really had to squeeze by and that was uncomfortable enough....

Personally I found the starter very small for the price, although it was delicious (they want to leave you wanting more? Or I’m greedy?? Just an opinion based on experience elsewhere) and, I thought the burger tasted like aniseed, who remembers that horrible flavour from their Dads car sweets?? lol Probably just my unrefined palate and everyone else loves it? I just like a burger to taste like a burger

Extraordinary in every aspect Very accommodating for those who are Gluten Free. We had the Sunday Roast Pork Belly. I won't tell their secret of how they gave us the best roast dinner we've ever had. We had to take our time to enjoy every single mouthful slowly. Their chef is a genius. Portions ample also. Gluten Free options for pudding looked so tasty but we had no room, and I know we will be back, having just moved a few miles away in Cookham. Shout out to Imogen and Elias:)

The place was a great option for groups of 6 or less dining and for drinks. Service was a little slow at times but this was just in the busiest period. Great menu options for all dietary needs and high quality and large meals. Would recommend booking a table if going on a weekend

Nom Nom Nom... We should have taken photos but we were enjoying ourselves far too much to even think about it. Visited on an early Saturday evening; 4 adults, 1 toddler. We requested our LGs food to be brought out asap and they kindly did - she scoffed nearly all of it! Two of us had the Wellington (wow, one of the best we've ever eaten - it was delicious)! The other two had sausage & mash and they said it was one of the best they'd ever eaten too. Desserts also went down wonderfully too! Service was excellent, very attentive and made us feel very welcome. We'd only previously visited for Father's Day and despite them being extremely busy, we were well looked after and the food was delicious so we knew we had to come back on a 'normal' evening. All of us definitely can't wait to come back! Thank you so much.
