The Eastbury Plough in West Berkshire

First visit and totally amazing service, food and location. Cannot wait to return.

Great venue, great food and great service. Highly recommended and worth the journey. The menu with the choice of more gastro/posh dishes and "dirty" dishes is spot on. Booked after playing TripAdvisor lucky dip, will be returning especially if the Tandori Scotch Egg is still on the menu.

Nice food a bit pricey for Sunday lunch, still great food, even better today ☺️😌 Gets better every time we go brilliant.

Absolutely fantastic sunday lunch. Great portions of steaming hot freshly cooked food. Couldn't manage dessert but they looked delicious. Service as always with a smile.

Still excellent. Lovely staff, great food and drinks, lovely atmosphere.

The Eastbury Plough is a cosy pub/dining room in a quintessentially English rural setting, it was perfect for a meet up with a bunch of friends on a freezing winter’s day. Food was great, excellent quality, not cheap but this is a place to come for a treat rather than for slap up pub food. Sticky toffee and Guinness pudding & ice cream was divine. Staff delightful, genuinely warm and welcoming. The only criticism was that plate used for my main course was not warm which meant my beef cooled down long before I’d finished. But that was a minor detail.

Fantastic place, warm cosy atmosphere. The staff were wonderful, the food presentation was excellent. Highly recommend. Thank you

Fantastic restaurant for probably one of the best Sunday roasts I have had!

Love this place so much. Bit out of the way for us but totally worth it. This was our third visit and all three have been excellent. I plan to work my way through the rest of the menu!

Really looking forward to a nice meal with friends this evening. Had had good reviews but we were so disappointed. Husbands steak was sent back as asked for medium rare but was well done. Friend ordered burger which looked like a load of mush, so she left most of it. I ordered goujons which were cold and not cooked, chips were nice though! Service was good and they rectified by reducing the bill. But was shocked to see 15% service charge was added to the bill which we were not aware off! Maybe not again for us, shame as it is a lovely place.

Great staff, lovely Sunday meal and puds

Had the Alabama burger. Was pretty good. The place was cool, too. The service was great.

We had a family meal - on Sunday. Meal really good, staff friendly and pub delightful. Will definately re-visit.

Had an Amazing roast beef at lunchtime today....service was excellent, pub was very warm , and nice latte coffee after . Desert menu looked fab , but was quite full from main

Such an interesting and varied menu, and everything was cooked to perfection. 10/10. Look forward to the next visit!

We had lunch as a group of ten, part of a Dining Club. We all decided that the food, the service, ambiance and decor rated more than 10/10 and we shall certainly return individually and as a group. There were no negatives.

Absolutely amazing food, very good service form the ladies who were just amazing. Food was not your average pub food, I think it was michelin star quality. The Lamb scotch eggs were amazing.

Delicious food, great service. Tell you where all the food comes from. Something different too. Highly recommend.

A group of 10 of us had a super lunch here recently. Fabulous food. Great and very friendly service. And a couple of good well-kept ales on too.

Local pub for us (5 miles) which has always served excellent food.

Delicious food, reasonable choice, helpful friendly service

Firstly, it's a beautiful village location. Service was friendly with just the right touch of attention from the servers. The food is excellent, in fact the hash starter was, in my opinion, one of the best starters I can remember eating. It's not the cheapest place to eat, but you pay for what you get and if you're after a special night out you can't go far wrong at The Plough.

Superb , great flavours. Everytime we go a new taste experience. The staff is always cheery and efficient. Recommend the Scallops and the ribs.

Amazing place!! Delicious food, friendly, professional team. Really fantastic placed to make the trip to go, you will not be disappointed.

Sunday lunch, just briliant, lovely food, the venision was really really good, great service and an enjoyable experience all round.

A relaxed evening out which turned into a culinary masterpiece. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all second to none and one of thebest dining experiences I have had. My wife said the mussles were the best she has ever tasted, and a friends soufle was a wonder to behold. Go there and be amazed!

Coffee was the only thing that wasn’t super, we’d highly recommend

Very first visit to this village pub not easy to find without a satnav but well worth the effort .we were having lunch with friends one of whom has numinous allergies and the staff were extremely helpful in checking the menu for acceptable items .The rest of the party had plenty of choice and I personally chose the ribs which were good ,the service was acceptable

Love this place, ambience and food perfect. Group of friends had varying dishes and all agreed how good they were. I went 'off piste' and tried a stacked burger, would not be my usual choice, which whilst of gigantic proportions was so tasty I managed to clear my plate bar a couple of small scraps. One of our 'go to' venues if we are looking for something a bit special.

The choice was exceptional as was the food itself we over indulged and had to have a doggy bag wil definitely visit again

Big, big food! Well cooked and interesting. Lots of fish and meat dishes and a few veggie dishes too - though not a massive choice. Slightly put off by the very wordy menu as i dont have much patience for reading at the moment but once the food came I could see the character of the menu writer in the food and all made sense. Everything was delicious and the dessert menu was fab - we weren't going to order but couldn't resist. The burgers were massive and enjoyed by all. I had tandoori duck and this was cooked beautifully. Lovely warm, good humoured service. Staff didn't seem harassed despite having a very large party of ladies in the bar and a busy lunch service. We did wait a while to order desserts and pay but this is fairly usual! Food came in a timely fashion (not too quick - so nice and fresh) We will be back! My only very slight comment would be that the bakewell tart was a little lacking in almond flavour for my taste, though my partner also had it and really enjoyed it!

Amazing food, beautifully presented. Great range of dishes. Lovely building, good car park.

What a great pub restaurant. We went for Sunday lunch and were absolutely delighted with our meals.

I am still over the moon about our lovely meal on Friday at the Plough in Eastbury. I have half a dozen favourite un-missable foods that, if they are on a menu, I will order. Sweetbreads, kidneys, calves liver and mussels. So it was a no-brainer when I visited The Plough - mussels. As a confirmed foodie, I have eaten them all over the world. The bowl presented to us on Friday was the best I have ever had in my life - as an octogenarian, that is saying something. Beautifully cooked, plump, tender, and with a sauce to die for. So often the sauce is almost inedible, either too salty, too much cream, so much can ruin the taste. Really, I have to congratulate the chef. The sole that followed was delicious, with a tasty garnish and samphire. But two days later I am still enjoying the memory of the mussels! I stayed with my cousins who live in the same village, I drove 80 miles to get there. I am going to be a far more frequent visitor in the future. A memorable visit. A lovely bar, most attractive decor. Great service from Anita and the others and a charming welcome from the proprietor.

We visited the Eastbury Plough on Saturday 29 Jul 2023 for the first time to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We thought the food was mostly exceptional and very good value for money. We both had starters - mine was scallops and black pudding and was absolutely delicious. My husband had two starters - taco’s and spring rolls and when he had his first taste made appreciative noises (sorry but this is the best way I can describe what happened. The person that had recommended the restaurant to us was a chef and recently he had a burger there. We decided to try the burgers too - the description of them was just too too exciting. I know that doesn’t sound very exciting but to put it in context - these burgers (we both had the Alabama) are so packed full of goodies that they come with a steak knife through the top of the brioche bun. The knife is in the burger right up to the handle to give you and idea of the size of these burgers. They are absolutely rammed full of flavour and to us it is the best burgers we have ever had. The one recommendation I would give is that if you are going to have an Alabama don’t have a starter. To give you an idea of how good we thought these were - we have had burgers at the Double Red Duke in Clanfield which is very much more expensive restaurant and until now we thought their burgers were the best we had ever had. Both are cooked over fire which gives them a lovely smoky taste. After we struggled to finish the burgers they asked - would we like to see the dessert menu. We had both agreed that we wouldn’t have a dessert but would just have a look at the dessert menu - well - there were so many comforting, delicious, tempting things on there we both ordered a dessert - me the old English caramel pear tart aka a pear tarte tatin which was stunning - light crispy pastry properly cooked - no soggy bottom here, and deep caramelised pears on top with simple beautiful vanilla ice cream. I was so disappointed that I didn’t manage to finish it - I didn’t want the chef to think that I hadn’t absolutely loved it. My husband had the Bakewell tart but he didn’t enjoy that as much as I enjoyed my tarte tatin. We thought the food in general was awesome and will be back as soon as we can. If money was no object we would eat here every week. Highly recommended.

Excellent menu and quality. Staff very friendly. Very enjoyable experience.

Great menu choice. Food was brilliant, and tasty. Place was lovely, great service. Will definately be back

Very slow service but. Ok food. Outside there is a SMALL playground which but when a 3 year stepped on it and the stepp just fell off.

The food is absolutely outstanding

Found this little gem via a google search. For our wedding Anniversary each year we like to try different places & our 35 minute drive was well worth it. Hats off to the Chef & all the team for a wonderful evening:)

Lovely rural pub serving fantastic food with excellent service

A group of friends had lunch here to celebrate an anniversary and it did not disappoint. An interesting and innovative menu with plenty of choice. Its a pity that there aren't more pubs offering such imaginative food.

Superb place with amazing food and service. Highly recommend

It’s hard to overstate how great The Plough is. Reasonably priced, varied menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. Very comfortable, relaxed setting. Outstanding service. All round excellent.

Had a good pit stop here at the weekend.. good coffee and great food. We planned our walk around a stop at The Plough lol Good outside seating. Free parking and a lovely view of the small river that is across the main village road... No pavements, so to see the water and ducks cross with care. Small road though. Lovely village.

We visit The Plough whenever we are in the area. The menu is so varied and imaginative and the food is consistently good. The staff are friendly and attentive. All this and set in a lovely village - what more could anyone want!

Our favourite place to come for food, this food is Michelin star level but without the price tag- absolutely stunning food and service. If I could say something it would be please put more cocktails on the menu!

I have been visiting the Plough for many years and the standard of food has been consistently high. Today’s visit with a group of friends was no exception. The menu choices are imaginative, varied and extremely tasty; the service is impecable and the pub was...

Delicious food and a lovely pub

I held my wedding reception here and they helped us have the most special day. Graham the head chef was really good in the lead up. He created us a menu that we could chose from and catered for various allergies. Near enough everyone of my guests came up to me on the night and commented on how amazing the food was, some even saying it was the best food they had ever had. But Louise and the team behind the bar are also incredible. Their service is amazing. They are really friendly. I have eaten in this pub a few times before and I highly recommend it. The best food and the best service.

Family of 6 adults and one 15 month old. We have eaten here many times and the food, service, staff are always superb but we have never been for a Sunday lunch before. We looked around at many different possible venues and eventually thought of...

The plough is a fantastic country pub and a brilliant place to eat. The staff are friendly and very present. The beer is well looked after and independent so you get a good variety (they provide a take away beer service which is very funny to carry beer out on a bag). The food is never less than excellent. Parking around the back I adequate and the collection of animals in the top car park is fun for kids. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. All in all a perfect country pub and restaurant.

This place is definitely brilliant. The menu provides so many options and all of them are great. If you want a great dining experience, good value and lovely environment then this is the place for you

Great birthday treat for a meal! Excellent food! The Plough always delivers a great experience!

5 out of 5 Food amazing Atmosphere perfect Service just right If you want to try amazing food, this is the place to go, food is varied, something for everyone and you haven’t tried their king prawn and crab Thermidor then get over there -...

A very pleasant place to eat lunch. Quiet village setting, varied menu.

Absolutely superb!! We visited with a large group and the food and service were brilliant. The ladies working were fun and engaging. Our meals were delicious. Would highly recommend

Away for the BH weekend and came here for dinner. We brought our dog so ate in the bar. The two ladies who served us were so friendly and the food was delicious, beautifully presented and the best we’ve had for a long time.

Gorgeous pub venue, very friendly service and superb menu. We had beef & venison and the sea bass, both were yummy, as was the taco starter.

Nine of us had an absolutely outstanding Saturday lunch at the Eastbury Plough last weekend to celebrate a family birthday. The food was faultless: imaginative, beautifully cooked and presented and full of flavour. The service was friendly and helpful. We had quite a long drive...

As always, we had another excellent meal at the Plough. The hard part is choosing from the extensive menu, and the three of us all had different starters and mains. The venison I had was cooked to perfection, and all our meals were delicious. The...
