4 of us went for Sunday lunch asked for regular size it was a very good size well cooked and HOT staff were very friendly and helpful definitely will be returning 😀

We called in for lunch after a rainy run and were made to feel very welcome. Lunch was plentiful, delicious and very reasonably priced. I’d 100% come back.

Fantastic service,very efficient,wide variety of food.and reasonable priced,great value for your money.defentley go back again and would recommend the cottage.

Just been for dinner and we all chose the homemade pies. A proper pie filled to the brim and not a soggy bottom in sight! I’d definitely return. All topped off with friendly staff.

Brilliant customer service. The food was lovely and not over priced. Good selection on the menu. Definitely will go back.

The food was delicious. Freshly cooked, well presented. Lovely friendly staff. Restaurant is nicely appointed.

Have experienced both good and not so good times at this pub. Food has been great and awful, service has been friendly and cold but generally is a cute pub that's little pricey.

Absolutely amazing. Delicious homemade food. Landlord so welcome and polite same as the lady behind the bar. Highly recommend. Thank you and see you soon

Met my friends here after a long time apart with the children and had a brilliant time. Wonderful outside space for the kids to play and they loved the equipment and animals. We ordered off the lunch menu and was so good, probably the best chips I've had in a long time. The staff were very attentive even though we were at the furthest point from the main building. Would definitely come back.

We had the homemade burger - large and very tasty served with salad and chips We also had vegetable lasagna - served with garlic bread and salad Food and service were both very nice and would defiantly recommend it for an evening meal

Brilliant night at the pub with friends. We arrived at 11:00 pm to a welcome from Gary the publican. We ordered drinks all round until midnight. Then Gary let off a firework display for us, what a lovely display appreciated by everybody. Then back into a warm pub for more drinks. A great night that saw us walk home at 2:00 in the morning. Well done Gary - again.

This was our first time for lunch, very friendly polite staff, food excellent choice, happy to have the over 60's menu again good value for the price. I had the fish and chips very good and hot, lovely chips and the fish was cod. I think we did overstay our welcome but they were polite and did not throw us out. It would be worth a trip for an evening meal, plenty of seats outside

Sooo... disappointed. Have wanted to visit The Cottage for some time now. Went this afternoon to find notices saying 'CLOSED FOR A PRIVATE FUNCTION' today and tomorrow. Oh well, plenty more places I suppose. Is this a regular thing? Sheila Eggleton

Dropped in here on a delightfully sunny weekday afternoon for a spot of lunch and some time looking at the animals. The pub was busy and we were quoted a 40 minute wait for our food. The landlord (Gary I think) took our order and deferred payment until after it was delivered. The food came out after about 25 minutes and was delivered to us at our table in the paddock. The food was amazing, I had the fish and chips which had the most amazing beer batter on it which was light and crispy. My fiancée and our daughter also had great meals. The only downside was that they didn’t have any Angostura Bitters so we couldn’t have the Lemon and Lime Bitters my fiancée wanted. I might buy them a bottle. Don’t get me wrong though this is an amazing pub. A must visit!

A so-called country village pub. Last time was disappointed that dogs not allowed in the comfortable bar, only in the so-called "sports bar". This time, a sunny summer Saturday, it's closed for a private function. I'm glad it's not my local.

Stayed here with our motor home. Owner staff and locals very friendly a proper local pub. Food was great, atmosphere relaxed and upbeat. There is hard standing or a level paddock to park in, very peaceful and spacious. We will stay again on our return journey if able. Thanks Karen

I visited the Cottage Inn with my son and daughter-in-law who are regulars there and who had told me how good the pub's food is. We were received with a friendly greeting and promptly presented with menus; our wine was brought to the table, including a very pleasant blush rosé. The food comprises pub standards plus some specials, and is very good value for money. I noticed that the loos were immaculately clean. The setting on a summer evening was delightful; there are cuddly rabbits and goats in an enclosure behind, and flowering fields to walk through. A really enjoyable evening out.

A very friendly and welcoming pub. Cosy atmosphere, open fireplaces and comfortable seating. Well kept local beer on draft and great food. There is a sports bar with good screens ideal for watching the Six Nations during the cold winter months!

Amazing food. I ordered a small adult roast dinner and was shocked when it came out, the plate was piled high. Very good quality meal. This was my first visit since I was a teenager and cannot wait to go back again. Very friendly staff. Well done to a village pub

We popped in for a meal on a Wednesday evening we had driven past many times and always wondered what the atmosphere and food was like. Well pleasantly surprised lovely warm welcome and our food was delicious and much to my husband delight decent sized portions will definitely return

On a very quiet service we went for a pub lunch hereThe regular sandwiches etc are available but we choose the selected specials, which although pricey for this type of pub at £10 a pop sounded goodI had ham eggs and bubble and squeak, result two pieces of processed wafer thin ham, under done eggs and really burnt potato cakeMy partner a piri piri chicken burger, result a chicken breast in a dry bun with some processed sauce and raw frozen chips, returned after the chicken had been finished with some replacementsOur little un eat from the children s menu and frankly his lasagna was inedibleThis pub has community status as being west Berkshires number one, I hope this does not include food. An absolute travesty and waste of ingredients, expensive and some where to be be avoided at all costsIn case you think I am being harsh we had previously eaten an appalling bite here which included cremated bacon and brie on partly frozen bread and when left were not even asked if something ws wrong. I post a lot of highly positive reviews and am never vindictive but this takes the biscuit
