The Butt Inn in West Berkshire

An excellent restaurant/ pub with great food and great service. Dog friendly too! We will certainly be returning

We have eaten at the Butt for years and always book for special occasions. We went for our son's 40th and this is the 1st time we've been disappointed. It's probably because we've always had the best roasts which is why we recommend to all our friends. This time however things were just just average. The biggest disappointment were the roast potatoes which weren't crispy but rock hard. The potato inside looked like it had been either cooked from frozen or overcooked because it wasn't white and fluffy but almost dark yellow. I've still given a 4/5 rating because the service was great and all the waitresses were friendly and helpful. This has always been our favourite place to eat and we will give it another go in the hope that this was an off day and hopefully a one-off 🤔

Had a great meal tonight. Steak and ale pie,yum yum, chicken schnitzel yum yum. Lovely puddings, nice ambience and excellent service. We'll definitely be back

We came over a year ago here and have thought so much about coming back but life has been busy. I didnt think it could get any better but it so has, very pleased to see the landlady Liz is still at the helm and the pub looks even more comfortable and so welcoming, she credits her team with their success which is lovely to hear. The food is outstanding with some great specials, Its a no nonsense great food, great service and an all round wonderful experience.

Very nice lovely food friendly staff.

Gorgeous village pub, food is great, service is friendly and the staff always so welcoming and helpful! Would recommend!

We've been to The Butt for our Christmas Day meal for the last 2 years and are booked in again this year. We've tried a few over the years and nothing beats The Butt for Christmas, it's not too busy, you're not rushed and there is a lovely chilled vibe. The food is so so good and the atmosphere is warm and homely, the staff can't do enough to make your experience a great one. We went for Sunday dinner today and again had great service, Sarah was really lovely and couldn't do enough for us.

The Butt Inn is truly an amazing place. Friendly staff, great food and such a nice place to sit, eat and drink. Sarah was a fantastic waitress and always checked in to ensure we had everything we needed and was really friendly and polite. The food was awesome and hats off to the chef 👍🏻 for accommodating me as I decided to freestyle and change the menu 🤣

This used to be our go to but hadn’t been for a while after our previous visit was disappointing but quite local & like to support local when we can so decided to give it another go. Unfortunately the lunch offer which enticed back had been rescinded via an updated Facebook post which we hadn’t seen - not ideal but we decided to stay anyway. Food was served quickly but we were the only people there at the time. Chose the garlic mushrooms on toast with poached egg but the egg was bordering hard boiled & the mushrooms didn’t have any garlic flavour. The other meal was just OK - the gammon was overcooked & a bit dry but the fried egg was at least runny. Fed it back to the staff & whilst very friendly & understanding of our concerns there was no attempt at service recovery. Due to time constraints we had to eat & go so couldn’t wait for things to be remade. One thing we have noticed over the course of the year of us being semi regular is that the portion sizes have definitely decreased e.g chicken schnitzel & only one piece of toast for the mushrooms seemed a bit small for £10. A shame but will be a while before we are back.

The best Sunday roast and i will absolutely recommend the cauliflower cheese side …… just sooo yummy Also the staff are fantastic and very attentive A real must

My husband and I took my elderly parents here for lunch. We hadn’t booked but we received the warmest welcome from all the staff. The pub was lovely and warm with an open fire.and was spotlessly clean. The menu catered for a wide range of tastes and the lunchtime menu had smaller portions of main meals. We sample four different dishes and were all pleased with the presentation, the taste and that the food was lovely and hot. I was particularly pleased by the way the staff interacted with my father who has memory issues, they showed him patience and compassion which you don’t often find. We will certainly return.

This pub has everything going for it, from the excellent food, brilliant atmosphere to the amazing friendly staff. Well done all! (John & Lucy)

A first visit - which will not be the last. We visited on a Sunday, and from the moment we arrived till the time left we felt welcomed. The food was so good, the service was fast and the staff attentive. The staff were a credit to this place. So often a venue will put a really nice looking picture of the food on the website, and so often it doesn't match - This was not the case at The Butt Inn

We had such a lovely evening here and already looking forward to going back! The food was delicious, could not find fault at all...I would highly recommend the garden sharing platter! 😋 But most importantly for us, we were made to feel so welcome from the minute we set foot inside to the moment we left 🥰...we had 4 dogs with us and the staff could not have been more accomodating...they gave our fur babies lots of fuss and our waitress Sarah was exceptional! She's a real credit to the restaurant, and she was also an expert on the whisky selection which my husband really appreciated! 😁 Such a humble pub, with a lovely warm atmosphere on a chilly evening...it's a full thumbs up and waggy tails from us!! ❤️

Awesome service really good, and excellent food and drink.

Went there last night with my friend. Brilliant food fantastic friendly service the young lady looking after us was hannah we will definitely be going back .

I stopped en route for a quick ½ pint in the middle of the afternoon. Lovely little pub. Very nice craft beer. Never been here before, as I don't live nearby, but if I did, I'd certainly be a frequent customer.

We visited today for Sunday lunch a party of 4 . Great welcome impeccable service and great service nothing was to much trouble. And I also got ice cream with my custard. Many thanks

We had the Chicken and Hock pie excellent would highly recommend

An excellent Sunday lunch for four. Good location with an attractive dining area. Great service, superb food, beef just how we like it, with an amazing selection of vegetables and fab roast potatoes. Even the chef popped out to say hello. Plus all good value!

Fantastic food service and atmosphere loved it. X

Only served on selected days, enjoyed a nice pepperoni pizza from the wood fired oven

Nice fish and chips. Enjoyed the beer also.

Drove past several times this year & always looked busy. So we visited for the first time on Sunday and was not disappointed. Great food (roast beef was fab!), service with a smile from all members of the team, including the chef who popped out to say hello. They couldn't have made us more welcome - will definitely be back👍

Just came by with a pal for a couple beers and some grub, had the beer battered fish and chips with mushy peas and a side of crispy potato bites, the food was great, the staff were lovely, I’ll definitely be coming by again in the future. Edit : Came back a couple of weeks after my original visit with a couple mates on our day off work, it was great, I tried the chicken tenders and wings this time along with some profiteroles for desert, the homemade sauce with the chicken tenders was amazing, I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!

1st visit we found the food to be good but bar staff seemed distracted. 2nd vist food still good and a lovely lady served us and interacted well.

Great pub and restaurant. Brilliant Sunday lunch, lovely decor and very friendly and well presented staff. We both had the chicken and honestly I could not fault it. 10/10

Went here on Sunday, we both decided to have the beef roast dinner - well we were not disappointed, it was generous, full of flavour and packed with different vegetable, Yorkshire, roasted potatoes, carrots and parsnips. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection. My husband always prefers a home roast but commented, “ that’s the best roast I’ve had away from home!” A true compliment. The staff were attentive, polite and efficient. I would highly recommend a visit and we will be back again very soon. Ps our apple and raspberry crumble was great too. Well done Butt Inn.

The staff are very helpful especially Hannah. She was pleasant and jolly. Food was excellent well worth the visit will definitely be back

Food excellent staff brilliant especially Hannah she was very helpful well worth the visit.

Had our daughters 60th party there it was great

Popped in as in the area and had looked at local reviews online. Luckily we got a table. We had both pies which were delicious along side fresh vegetables. Really great service too. Great experience - really homely !

I had an excellent meal. The beef and ale pie was an individual homemade pie with shortcrust pastry, and there was a lot of beef which was very tender. All the vegetables were fresh seasonal and cooked perfectly. The meal even came with a side bowl of additional gravy.

Really tasty food and the staff were very accommodating and nice people!

Although we were a large party, food delivered promptly and as requested. Pleasant and helpful staff

Just had a fabulous meal here lovely food well presented and lovely atmosphere will be back soon

Great food, beer, and service again. I must have visited over 10 times now in 4 years! We will visit again. :-) We visited again last night, and the pub still serves really good quality food and nice cold beer. The staff are very friendly and when I'm next working again in the area I will be back.

Lovely beer garden and the menu looked amazing, however when we wanted to place a food order, we were told it would be half an hour before we could place a food order. So we went to the garden to enjoy our beers in the sun, and came back half an hour later to order food, only to be told it would be another 15 minutes before we could place an order because the kitchen was busy. I asked if we could put an order in and we’d be happy to wait for it to come out, but was told no, to come back in 15 minutes to order. Had another beer in the garden and left without any lunch! A shame as the garden was lovely and the menu looked good. Good for beers but don’t expect to be fed in a hurry!

A wonderful pub, with gorgeous food and great service. Trully worth a visit.

Fantastic evening for my partners early birthday meal. Amazing food the service was really good friendly staff and kept us topped up with food and drink all night. Would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for a great evening out

Was there for a private event & it was lovely

Me and my family stopped at butts inn before a concert and we were met with outstanding hospitality and service. The food was amazing and the owners were kind and told us about the recent ownership. I suggest that anyone stopping over gives this homely pub a try

Just had a great meal at The Butt Inn for my Mums birthday. The food is excellent, really good menu, dishes well presented and very tasty! The staff cannot do enough for you and were so polite and welcoming. To top it off we all felt it was great value! Highly recommend.

Thank you for a great lunch out day. Will be back when in the area again.

Fantastic restaurant, friendly staff and amazing food, would definitely recommend!

Best pub in the area!!! The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is fantastic and very affordable!! I will definitely be back here for another meal in the future.

Starter plates are great for an afternoon nibble with a glass of wine.

Amazing staff and food. Everyone was so helpful and nice. Amazing beers would highly recommend. Sarah served me and she was fantastic.

I'd like to give the Butt Inn five stars and based on my first visit, I would have. My daughter and I visited on a Saturday afternoon and had an excellent lunch. I had the steak & ale pie, she had a burger. The following Saturday, however, we arrived just before 8pm and were turned away for dinner, apparently they were too busy. I'm not really sure, the hostess wasn't very explanatory. Would I visit again? Perhaps, but likely not for a dinner service.

We had a fantastic Sunday roast. It was a party of 11 and we had pre ordered. Food was delicious and very attentive service. A great family meal out.

We have had a lovely evening, fantastic food and very helpful staff. Highly recommend a visit Good choice of drinks and lots of food options

Exceptional food, a large and varied selection, fair pricing and portions, and very warm and accommodating staff. One of the best pubs in the area. We will be back.

Had a great meal Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Can reall recommend

They said they couldn't accommodate us as a large party coming in. . .

Got here after an hour and half drive for a sub standard Guinness and to be told we couldn't order food despite it being quiet.

Our family went on Father’s Day the roast was amazing !! Landlady was so lovely nothing was too must trouble and the staff were so friendly, definitely will be returning

The food was lovely, we went on a Sunday afternoon, there was a good mixture of Roasts and other items on the menu if you didn’t fancy one. Great service too. Weirdly can’t accept tips via card so make sure you have cash!

Great meal, good service.thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary meal. Recommended to all. Staff very open and friendly, good at.osphere. way better than the standard pub!

Lovely food and the staff was very friendly

Previous owners 1* Latest visit was a complete turn around. Lovely staff, the food was amazing, the koren burger with a side of wings to die for.... Great fresh and quality food, 10/10 will be back for another one of those burgers!!

Booked for a family meal for 4. Food good price reasonable and good friendly service an enjoyable evening.

Very friendly staff, excellent service and lovely food. Would reccommend.

Lovely welcome and service, nothing to much trouble. Staff very attentive. Excellent food choice and cooked to perfection. Would deffinately reccommend.

A bit too restaurant orientated for us, but the food was really good and well priced.

The pub was very nice been years since I was at this pub nice friendly welcome and the service was very good. Plenty of parking on the side all in all a very nice place to eat and have a beer so well done the staff at the but inn .

Booked for a wake , landlady very attentive extremely friendly service brilliant

Excellent food pub. Super tasty meals and very friendly service in a relaxing atmosphere.

Just popped in without a booking but the friendly staff especially Michelle accommodated us for a table for 2 no problem.

Did the Rock n Roll Bingo and had a few drinks. Great evening.

Wonderful Ale/beer Service good Menu good Food good. All reasonably priced Would certainly go again

Lovely pub which is well presented with a nice garden. The food is very good and has some different choices on the menu to the usual pub food. The staff were friendly and efficient. I will definitely return to eat here.

Came back to The Butt Inn today, Wow Liz has whipped this place into shape... The pubs looking fantastic, immaculately clean throughout, the scented candles and background music make the whole pub very tranquil and very comfortable. This pub is a real credit to Liz and punch partnerships... An amazing Landlady and really beautiful building Wow ... If only it was nearer to home 😍 this place... One of my favourite venues !! -------- Previous feedback --------- The is a beautiful country pub with huge outdoor and indoor seating. The new Landlady is very welcoming and has been busy putting her stamp on this place... Very clean and the attention to detail is clear to see. A really pleasant venue to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet on a hot summer day or cosy up inside in beautiful décor when the cold weather is in.

Wonder full lunch for my friends 70th Birthday treat, eleven of us enjoyed some great food, service was good as well .Roast good and plenty of it meat cooked how we pre-ordered ,also other choices available from main menu .Would recommend to anyone.

Was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the great value week-night deal. Excellent, friendly service too. Easily better overall than all the pubs I've eaten at in the surrounding area recently.

Stopped on chance for a late lunch with my grandson. Place very welcoming, food good and service excellent. The ladies made a bit of a fuss of the lad which was appreciated. Not been here before but will return for a more adult evening.

My partner and I booked last minute, as the other pub we planned to go to wasn't serving food. I rang ahead and managed to secure a table. From the start upon arrival the service was second to none. Our hostess was so welcoming and attentive. We sat down for dinner and enjoyed our starters, which were beautifully presented, and very filling. After a short break our mains were delivered. I simply can't fault the Chicken Schnitzel that I very much enjoyed, and my partner loved her steak and ale pie (which I was fortunate to have a little sample of, the beef was beautifully cooked and the pastry was spot on) we finished the evening with a lovely cheese board that was beautifully presented. Food wise 12 out of 10, service 11 out of 10. The Butt Inn really has a winning formula, and I'm looking forward to dinning there again.

Absolutely lovely lunch for two - delicious food and generous portions , beautiful atmosphere and attentive staff. Love the decor and the vibe generally in this country pub - and the garden area looks tantalising for the Summer. Will definitely be a regular stop for us thank you !

Lovely food and atmosphere, great service. Would highly recommend for couple, family or friends. Bet it’s lovely when the sun is out too! 🤩

Was here to spend time with family after my cousins funeral. A beautiful little place, food was lovely and staff were kind and helpful.

Large family birthday celebration, we were made very welcome. All starters and most meals very good. Roast pork and burger particularly were excellent. One meal was cold but replaced quickly, 2 puddings were forgotten and came out very late Overall ambience good and would return

This has to be one of the best places for a roast dinner. The plate was full, the prices are very reasonable, the staff cannot do enough for you. The owner Liz is so easy going, nothing is too much trouble. I have been told good things about the food and the atmosphere at the Butt Inn so thought we would see for ourselves. We were not disappointed. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later. Keep up the good work.

The team at the Butt In was able to fit us in (a table of 13 including 2 children) at very short notice, and we were so grateful. The food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. We had a mixture of the Sunday menu and the main menu as well as children's and all of it was soooo good! Thank you much, we will be back soon x

This is by far the best lunch I've had out in a very long time. Great menu choice and food cooked to perfection. The starters comprised of Calmari and wife had Houmos which were both amazing flavour, and decent portion sized. We both had beer battered fish and chips with home made tartar sauce and minted mushy peas. Again tremendous tasting food, fish perfectly fresh with the best batter I've ever tasted. Everything says great chef and freshly prepared. Landlady and bar staff personnel were very friendly. Pub is immaculate with spotless toilets. Great selection of drinks make this a pub and eatery that I will return to. Highly recommended.

Six of us went to the Butt on Saturday night. Lovely food and great waitress. I had the trout, others had the pie all food well presented and tasty.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Super nice landlady, very efficient waiter, delicious food and very clean "facilities". The menu struck us as very well thought out and a little but different. The nearby tow path walk is well worth it too. We'll be back!

First visit to The Butt Inn, but certainly not the last! We went for Sunday lunch and the roast was definitely the best I have had in a long time. Lots of choice and everything cooked perfectly. Other choices also, if you don’t fancy a Sunday roast. Staff were friendly & professional. Would highly recommend and we will be visiting again soon!

Lady behind the bar didn't seem very inviting, the room was cold, no soft furnishings to soften the noise of other people in the pub - unfortunately on the day I visited with a party of 4 there was a birthday party meal going on and they were very noisy making it hard to have a conversation with my fellow dinners. I had the sausage and mustard mash dinner which was a little disappointing, 3 sausages on a pile of mash, I asked for gravy on the side (my choice), but no greenery or veg, other members of my party had Ham egg and chips which looked OK, Ham was a bit fatty, and a Korean burger and fries, this looked like the best dish out of the 4

Third visit to this lovely pub. Since the images that appear here on Trip Advisor, the interior decor has been totally transformed and modernised (lovely parquet flooring). Always a wonderful welcome. Service is excellent and staff are friendly and helpful. The varied menu offers fantastic value and portions are generous. The only problem is - what delicious meal to choose! My Mum had the French onion soup and rarebit starter - which was a very generous portion! I enjoyed the steak and ale pie - proper pie with a top AND a bottom, lovely crispy pastry. Buttered seasonal vegetable and all served nice and not. Partner had the Vietnamese curry, basmati rice, red chilli, pomegranate & fresh lime - lots of fresh ingredients and colour. Lovely puds - love the value offered by the small puds with hot drink (£5.50) and the coffee (cappuccino) had a lovely thick creamy froth - and again, nice and hot. All too often one has to down coffee because it's only luke warm - but that isn't the case here! Keep up the great work folks - we will most certainly be back again! Your Chef clearly knows what he is doing in that kitchen!

Excellent food, and excellent service

Stopped in on a wednesday lunch time. The meal was excellent with a very homely atmosphere we were served by Hannah who was excellent both freindly and efficient. I certainly will be revisiting the Butt Inn.

Quintessential English pub, open fire and dark wood floors. Friendly and helpful staff. I had a roast, yum. My husband had fish n chips, also yum. Would try again. Tidy, clean loos too!

Wonderful motorhome stop over. Very accommodating. Good food for both lunch and Sunday menus. Dogs welcome. Highly recommend.

A really lovely meal - food is so good ! Our waitress was so welcoming and friendly. Monday night they have a great Supper Club menu and 2 courses £19. Highly recommend this pub.

The improvement in the Butt is incredible. The food is great. Beer nice and the staff friendly and efficient. Totally opposite of how it used to be.

We were recommended this pub and when we arrived we were made to feel welcome, food and service was amazing

We have never eaten out on Xmas day before so we were apprehensive. The food was fantastic the service was excellent. I would have to say one of the best Xmas Dinners I have had. The team very pleasant and attentive. Will be going back in January for another meal. Great work.

Great place to meet friends and chat

Nice pub serving lovely food, with great staff!
