The Ibex Inn in West Berkshire

A Well cooked meal, hot and well presented. The Ibex is situated in Chaddleworth, a pretty village in West Berkshire, about 7 miles North of Newbury. A good chef.

Visited with my family. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. The red wine we had was very nice and a great temperature. Also other members of our party enjoyed the Thatchers haze. The steak was very good. Gluten free options seems to be leaving out things, like no bun with the burger, no brandy basket with the ice-cream. Ice-cream being the only gluten free options but it was really nice. I had the chicken in a sauce,it was delicious but needed something to mop up the sauce, like bread. I would eat there again.

Called in on cycle trip for Sunday lunch. Staff were very helpful and we chose the home made pie which was fantastic. Also the Orchard Cider was very good.

Visited Saturday 20th April with my wife we both started with the wild mushrooms which were totally delicious and then on to the main the wife had haddock and chips and I had the venison steak, both were delicious and the service was outstanding !

We have been going to Ibex for the last 8 years and food has always been excellent, from lunch, dinner, roast to festive menu. Staff is very friendly and accommodating for kids and dietary requirements. We always look forward to eating there. Always go for a 3 course meal and as hungry as possible to make sure we have enough space for the generous portions.

My partner and I had the Rib Eye Steak and it tasted amazing, it was cooked perfectly I definitely recommend it. We have had quite a few takeaways from the ibex since it reopened and not once have we been disappointed. I cannot wait for Lock Down to end so we can enjoy eating a meal in our Local Pub

We ordered a takeaway lunch from the Ibex recently. We thoroughly enjoyed the roast beef and roast chicken. The meat, vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and gravy were very fresh and beautifully cooked. We also had a couple of desserts to share that came with small pots of ice cream - very good. Really nice people running the pub and we will definitely be back for more! We can’t wait for the pub to reopen properly again.

Had a great Sunday lunch takeaway, 2 chicken and 2 beef all in their own little boxes to put straight on to a plate. Gravy and yorkshires in separate containers plus free puddings

My partner and I had a takeaway New Years Eve and the food was absolutely superb. We ordered Rib Eye steaks and were both cooked to perfection and so succulent and tasty. Served with super chips, mushrooms and very tasty cherry tomatoes. A definitive 10/10 and a huge well done to the Ibex and keep up this brilliant standard and cant to have a meal in the pub.Mervyn & Linda RG20 7DY

Ordered a takeaway tonight from the ibex and the food was amazing. BBQ chicken wings were amazing and so was the chicken burger. It was very reasonably price and decent size portions. Will definitely be ordering again and recommending to others

Had a takeaway last night. Great food very fresh and arrived quick. Will definitely recommend can’t wait to have a meal in the pub when lock down ends.

Looked after big group of 14 muddy walkers very well. We all had a great lunch. Thank you very much.

Stuart the landlord is very welcoming, food was very nice,will be going back very soon.keep up the good work

We went for a mid-week lunch. The pub looked great but were surprised to have to tread over cigarette butts on the door steps down into the front door. Inside the pub is lovely inside and the bar staff were welcoming. We decided to sit in the garden, however, after treading in it we noticed dogs muck all over the grass. Also ash trays were left around full of cigarette butts again. The food came and my wife was disappointed with the salad as it felt like if hadn't been washed properly. I had the sausage and onion sandwich which fine (only it could have been improved by serving it in thick hand cut bread or something).So in summary its a lovely looking pub inside and out but the owners need to concentrate on cleaning up after the smokers and the dogs that roam the garden before the public come in for lunch.

My family and I came here for lunch a few weeks ago and left feeling disappointed. At first, we tried to sit outside as it was a lovely warm day but there was piles of dog poo in the grass and loads of wasps. Inside the pub there were so many flies but decided rather than travel somewhere else as we were short on time, we’d stay. The food was poor quality and overpriced. The salad with my jacket potato came covered in a salad dressing. There was no mention of salad dressing on the menu so I couldn’t eat it as I dislike dressing. Food was very bland. The only positive was the service was ok.

The family have eaten here several times. Sunday roast boards are the best. Well priced and the selection of meats are excellent. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Staff were pleasant, place was empty at lunchtime, food was very underwhelming. The fish and chips came with a solid lump of mushy peas, the vegetarian and meaty lasagnes tasted like frozen food from a cheap supermarket.

So nice to have a pub serving unpretentious food on a Monday evening, reasonable selection of beers and locals that are friendly and jovial . Food is pub grub but well presented

Not my first visit to the Ibex for a Sunday roast but as previously the meat platter was hot and plentiful as was the good variety of vegetables. The hosts were very friendly as were their staff. Highly recommended

Have eaten here several times and have had Sunday lunches, lunchtime and evening meals here. Everything has great, the food arrives hot and well prepared and presented. Most recently I took my teenage children who were happy at the generous portions and good wifi access but said the halloumi bites were delicious (as were the meatball starters). Main courses were great and the staff were happy to modify the dishes to the suit my son's taste. Although we were very full it was so yummy we had pudding too. Service was polite, friendly and unrushed - we felt very welcome. Also if you're walker or have a dog you are very welcome in the Ibex with muddy boots and paws!

Excellent food and friendly efficient service. The burgers (chicken Cajun and beef) were perfect and the apple pie yummy. A great spot for food and warm welcome !

Lovely Sunday lunch . Beef for me,pork for my wife (plus some for me!) Could not have been better - lovely roast potatoes, Tasty Meat and gravy . Not stingy with portions either.

Very nice country pub in a small but charming village. Lovely interior, wooden floors, friendly, relaxed and inviting. The food is cooked and presented to a high standard and there are no complaints regarding portion size, all at a very reasonably price.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch and great service. It's a very friendly pub with great food and beer. Thank you. Nice and relaxed atmosphere and welcomes dogs and children.

Feeling guilty that we’d not visited for ages we chose today when they were awaiting deliveries due to a sell-out over Christmas! However, a very warm welcome was followed by fantastic sandwiches and a couple of soft drinks (which we’d have ordered even if beer had been available). Top quality pub food and we want to try a Sunday lunch (despite the recent review I’ve just seen) as the impression is that this will be good home cooking and great value.

They could not have been more welcoming and friendly, so score highly on that front, and there is a good selection of beer and an even better selection of interesting soft drinks, which is also a significant plus point. However, we were there for Sunday lunch and all six of us thought our food was poor. Basically, everything was overcooked. Small leathery bits of fish in the middle of the batter for those who had fish and chips, and dry tasteless slabs of meat for the roast. I could not have distinguished pork from turkey with my eyes shut. Roast potatoes were fragments of white in a hard oily dark brown shell and green beans were wrinkly flaccid strips of mush. If somebody had told me it was all reheated from the day before I would have believed them. Apparently there was some sort of village party the night before so maybe we hit an off day.

I've been here a couple of times for drinks, but first time to eat with my friends and partner.The service was great, food cooked to perfection and atmosphere was just right for a proper country pub. Will definately be coming back to try out the Christmas menu.

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Food is amazing would definitely recommend. Also the take away is well worth a try at very reasonable prices

Best tasting, best presented and best value roast dinner I have ever had. Quite simply wonderful. Can't wait to go back...

Had a really good meal with friends recently at the ibex, (Can recommend the mixed grill ) and good service to go with it Thank you Stuart

Had a great night out with family. Beef and cherizo burger was great, as were the ribs. Staff behind the bar were very friendly and even took our 5-month son off ours hands for a while for a walk around the pub.

Having experienced a more than satisfactory lunchtime 'snack' elected to go back for an evening meal a few days later.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday roast of turkey and beef. The sharing platter was perfect! Plenty of meat veg and essential gravy. Service was great. Atmosphere was excellent too. Value was superb! Will definitely be back! Probably next week! Thank you Stuart.

Popped in for a light lunch prior to booking Sunday lunch. Didn’t book Sunday lunch as our Saturday bar snack wasn’t memorable. The pictures online don’t feel like a true reflection to us. Disappointed.

13 of us walked from The Ibex Inn for 6 miles and then returned for a most welcome Sunday lunch on 21st October. We preordered for 1.30 but arrived at 1.00. The staff were happy to serve us earlier. The food was delicious and the portions of the meals were amazing. Definitely value for money. A lovely friendly atmosphere. Will definitely visit again, hopefully for a Spring walk.

Went in for a meal with my mate, I had the steak and he had the duck, it was very nice and the steak cooked perfectly as was the duck,we just about managed to eat everything,the staff was really helpful and happy to help, also the beer was very good, going back in a few weeks for a roast as they look amazing too

Popped in for a quick drink the other day after dragging, I mean walking with the kids round the village. Ended up having some pudding as well which was really yummy and presented nicely :) Staff were friendly, will be back again as menu looks delicious!

Superb Sunday roast having had the Ibex sharing platter. Choice of three meats or you could have all three, abundance of roast potatoes and a fresh vegetable dish that is refilled as you want. Excellent quality food, friendly efficient service,

Been several times to the ibex, on an evening out with entertainment very enjoyable most of the village in there all enjoying there evening out also the staff joining in. On a sociable evening just drinks and a catch up with friends, and had a great birthday meal with my parents in there the food was great the hospitality of the staff was good, lovely friendly great food reasonably priced, great place in a great village

I visited recently the Ibex Inn and found this lovely country inn, in the quiet village of Chaddleworth. I found the staff were very friendly and helpful, wonderful home cooked food with a great service, and a nice relaxing atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be looking to return soon.

The ibex is a great pub to go to. Great couple who run the pub, so friendly and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

Always satisfying to find a good country foody-pub. Had the brie, bacon and cranberry sandwich (lunchtime) which came with proper side salad and chips. Reliably informed by the friendly bar staff that all produce is locally sourced. It certainly tasted great!

Lovely staff very helpful and amazing roast dinner perfect roast potatoes and ideal for familys that you can have unlimited vegetables with it drink are reasonable price

My wife,daughter and myself popped in to the Ibex inn at chaddleworth for Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint, friendly staff lovely location and most of all beautiful food , my daughter had a burger and chips which was not your bog standard burger, my wife and I had a Sunday roast which came out on a platter so we could help our selves, including Yorkshire puddings, roast spuds, seasonal veg and a choice of 3 meats ...all cooked to an amazing standard and would definitely go back again as the price was perfect for what we had...definitely recommend this pub for food !!!!

We have had takeaway fish and chips from The Ibex a couple of times now and always excellent. Fish is perfectly cooked, just the right amount of tasty batter and served with great chips. Quick service too, would recommend.

I've been arranging or joining occasional runs/walks in the countryside between Peasemore and Lambourn, in the delightful Berkshire countryside north-west of the M4/Newbury, over the last few years, and when I started The Ibex was closed. So it's a pleasure to know it's open again - sadly The Stag in Leckhampstead has gone the other way - and offering good value food alongside its beers and other drinks. Our group had a most enjoyable lunch in the sunny garden after today's 'ramble', and full marks to the Ibex team for getting over twenty orders out in quick succession, so nobody had finished before others started eating!

It’s hard to describe how delicious their hamburgers are! From fresh buns, loaded with bacon and cheese, to the platter heaped with homemade chips and onion rings, to a delightful side-salad. Perfectly cooked, top quality beef too.

Called for a lunchtime meet up with family, as Newbury area equidistant between so many places.

Last night my nieces 21st birthday party was held at The Ibex. My husband and myself also stayed the night in one if the two hotel rooms they have, room lovely, ensuite bathroom in each room really comfortable bed. Clean and nicely decorated. Very quiet area. What a great place. Stuart the landlord is a fantastic guy. Very friendly nothing is to much trouble. Breakfast included full English breakfast really nice. Worth a visit. Will be back soon to try your Sunday lunches.

Lovely food. Very friendly atmosphere. Landlord is amazing and welcoming and good service. It is a brilliant local village pub and for anyone visiting.

Great food, diverse menu, friendly atmosphere! Made the best coq au vin ever and proper banana split. Better book as always been busy when we came around.

I was with a party of about 20 people. We were impressed by the variety of food available, the portion sizes and the speed of service by the friendly young lady waitresses. Some of our party arrived after everyone else had ordered and, amazingly, they were able to bring all the meals together. The seafood platter was especially huge and people were unable to eat all that was provided. The pub appeared to be run by two gentlemen, who are making a very good job of providing excellent food at reasonable prices.

Lovely pub a bit off the beaten track. On arriving we had a very warm welcome and I have got to say great service throughout. Food is lovely, imaginative and HUGE. We will definitely be back, thank you.

My friend and I went to the Ibex for Sunday lunch my first visit there must say food was brilliant and well presented will definitely visit again the pudding (pair and cinnamon sponge was to die for) would recommend a visit especially for Sunday lunch...... Steve

This was our fourth visit to the Ibex, the last being in the summer.

Went here twice. Made to feel unwelcome twice. We wanted a cup of coffee and couldnt be accommodated. Won’t try for a third time.

We are strangers to these parts - so nothing to gain ! ... the staff all have been friendly and welcome engaging in conversation - unlike a closer pub to us. We have tried the real ales and now the food ... the 3 for £10 nibbles were delicious ! - we left the plate clean !.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal with friends down at the Ibex on Saturday night. Great food including yummy Gluten free options. Lovely buzzing friendly atmosphere. Still proud to call this my local - thanks to all the awesome staff :) x

We have come here twice before and found the chef to be amazing and have reviewed it five stars before. Oh dear......the chef has gone, the sparkle of the food, the presentation and taste has flown away with him. The beer/ lager on tap had all but ran out.......no tonic for a gin!!!

Great food, do not miss a visit when in the area. Great atmosphere and friendly staff and locals. I had a sublime seafood casserole, yum.

Loved the location and the staff were lovely.

The food was superb but unfortunately the noise from the bar ruins the atmosphere in the dining room. Needs separating for this to work. Avoid darts match night which are excruciatingly loud. Not acceptable for gourmet eating.

Very impressed by dinner here. Nice atmosphere, excellent staff and the menu was interesting with some creative dishes. Chocolate brownie was divine! Only slight quibble was that the main course could have done with some kind of veg to accompany it (confit of duck was served with fries and chutney). That said, the standard of food was terrific, and it was well worth the trek to Chaddleworth. Would recommend.

We had an excellent meal at the Ibex last week. Four of us had six sharing plates (3 for £10) which were delicious. The sausages were particularly good. The main courses came very promptly and exceeded our expectations. The ribs were huge - my greedy husband couldn't quite finish them. My pulled pork pie came with a little pot of pepper sauce (black pepper and cream.) everyone dipped things in it as it was so good!

As it was my husbands 50th birthday we gathered the family and had THE most lovely lunch here. The communication I had before with a few menu questions were very quickly and happily replied to from them. The chef is a very accommodating chap indeed!

The chef comes out to greet you and ask about the food. Lovely small sharing starters, pork ribs, lamb shoulder, excellent burgers and much more for mains. Sticky toffee pudding is wonderful

Had been to the Ibex for a drink shortly after re-opening however hadn't eaten there yet so decided to give this a try one evening with my girlfriend.

Visited this pub for dinner last night with a friend, we were both very impressed, food was sensational and the service extremely friendly and attentive, couldn't fault it (and I am not easily pleased), will definately be returning with my husband. Very well done everyone

This pub keeps on improving on its food! The local ethos of the chefs ordering to the amazing sweets which are Michelin standard. kai the chef always comes out and is a highlight to talk to. The restaurant is getting busy now and not the secret gem it was, so book in advance!

Ten of us had a perfect Sunday lunch. Lovely food (generous portions), excellent beer, friendly and attentive service and a great atmosphere. The Sunday carvery was delicious, perfectly cooked roast pork and lamb and the puddings....well the puddings were a triumph. Couldnt recommend The Ibex too highly. It is everything you could want from a well run country pub.

My partner and I had a beautiful lunch. I had the veal and my partner had the beef. Both dishes were lovely and I must say the service was great! We were served by Patrick who had great service. We sat out In The garden and had our lunch in the sunshine. Was lovely, thank you.

Food was absolutely delicious. My daughter had the burger and I had the faggots. Gravy on the faggots was divine. Service was great and it was washed down with lovely cold peroni. I believe some of the real ales are delicious too

What a wonderful place, good food, happy and friendly staff and locals that actually talk to you. Will definitely return

Four of us girls had the most fantastic evening. The food was superb. Chef came and checked on us which was really lovely. Cannot fault it at all. Can't wait to go back. Thank you.

We thought we'd give this recently reopened inn a try and pre booked; however, they had great difficulty in finding which did not inspire confidence for what was ahead.

I visited the pub for food with family and friends and it certainly lived up to expectations. There was a great choice of food on the menu and the food was delicious when it arrived. The presentation was great and the chef even came out to see if everything was okay with our food. The only down side was the limited choice of puddings - only three to choose from. But apart from that I could not fault it- definitely worth a trip if you are in the surrounding area.

Hadn't realised we had such a gem nearby! Recently reopened and extended, it's lovely and homely, with a great atmosphere, a varied menu and the owner Patrick is very clued up on catering for gluten free people (i.e. me!)... loads of nice choices and I'm looking forward to going back to try their Sunday roast today!

Had a complete makeover since it reopened in Nov16. Decor is fab. Food delicious - mid week, weekend, Sunday roast, tried it several times now. Gluten free is no problem. Great wine, craft beer & amazing Gins. Go enjoy :)

A reborn village pub is a wonderful thing. A good reborn village pub is a rare and wonderful thing. Fortunately, the Ibex is exactly that. You know what I mean: nowadays pubs need their food trade to survive. Sometimes that means you pop in to a place for a pint or two and then get glowered at when you decline the menu. Sometimes your dinner is spoiled by the noise of giant screen Sky TV football watchers swearing away. The Ibex gets it exactly right; civilised without being, well, ‘too-fancy-pants’ (TripAdvisor vetoed my original phrase there). It’s a great place for a few pints. Cracking beer too, the Indigenous Brewery is in the village. It’s also a very (very) good place to eat.

Lovely early evening meal with fantastic food and really friendly staff. Great location and nice garden.

My partner and I just love the little village of Chaddleworth. Beautiful spring day so we sat in the garden and had some drinks before our lunch really pleasant! We were served by Patrick who was really lovely with great customer service. We had a three course lunch and I must say every course was just lovely thank you so much

We had a fantastic evening celebrating family birthday's! We all agreed that the food was excellent, very tasty and very well presented. A lovely country pub with a great atmosphere. We will be back soon!

Great food and service, very friendly staff who are really welcoming. The chef is extremely inventive and skilled producing a delicious variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes.

The New chef has done wonders for the menu a lovely meal and fantastic service. So happy to have our local pub back.

The Ibex is an amazing little village pub. You just gotta go there! You'll be so delighted with the food, cooked by an award-winning chef. The owner and the staff are awesome too - they are at the pub section every day. They were there for us - always gave us a friendly smile, the service was great. Not just the staff, but the village people coming in make the atmosphere wonderful, friendly and it feels like home.

We went with family and enjoyed a really delicious roast on Sunday! The slow cooked tender roast lamb and pork were served with roast potatoes, yorkshire puds and crackling on a wooden board in the centre of the table, with perfectly cooked veg, a gravy boat and apple sauce so we could have a relaxed serve ourselves meal. Plenty of food, great service, irresistible puddings and family friendly atmosphere made this a really lovely experience. Highly recommended.

My Parents and wife went out for lunch today, we had an amazing lunch great food, very friendly, will be going again very soon, I recommend this great village pub, thank you Ibex staff.

We came for dinner, what can say!

Visited here on Saturday with a group of friends to coincide with the new chef and the new menu. None of us left disappointed!

We are a local family of four who have dined here previously and despite some of the reviews on here, enjoyed our meal at our newly reopened pub very much. Very pleased to see our pub refurbished and reopened. A warm welcome is provided by the new landlords, Patrick and Stuart, they have embraced this new venture with a mission to provide us with a good pub that serves great pub food.. And so we were especially excited by the new chef's arrival. Having perused the menu over a G&T; (from a large selection of gins) while my partner chose a pint of local ale ( from the village's own microbrewery!), we selected a variety of starters from crayfish and salmon to duck pate or even KFC'd frogs legs. (a quirky choice which proved a winner). These were served in good time and proved to be very tasty. Both children, who are fussy eaters, selected pulled pork burgers while my partner and I were seduced by ribeye steaks with a pepper sauce, vine tomatoes, mushroom and chips. I am particularly difficult to please when it comes to steak but was very impressed and found my main course to be delicious. Topped off with a bottle of Pinot Noir and the chef's divine lemon cheesecake we were very impressed with our meal and will definitely come back! Highly recommended

We had Sunday lunch and were expecting a lot better. It started of bad when we were told there was no Worcester Sauce or Tabasco for a Bloody Mary.

Four of us visited the Ibex on January 7th for dinner, it had just reopened after refurbishedment, so we thought we would check it out, as it is very close, as place for dining, as it states it is a restaurant with a bar, rather than a pub that offers food.

Very excited about the Ibex reopening and having visited a couple of times and eaten once with a fabulous meal it seemed that we had a great local pub to visit however.....popped down this evening for dinner rather than cooking and were so disappointed. Service was so slow which considering the pub was quiet there was no excuse for and the food was pretty awful. Sausages that tasted like they had been reheated and like cardboard, I'm not sure there was any meat in them. Supermarket plastic sausages! Seasonal veg that consisted of broccoli and three peas! I hope tonight was a very bad blip and that things improve

The Ibex has recently reopened. It has been newly refurbished throughout. A beautiful pub in a pretty village. Good food, nicely presented by polite friendly staff. Chaddleworth is a good walking area. It also has an historic church, St Andrew's, mentioned in The Doomsday Book of records and well worth a visit.
