This welcoming pub serves quality food at reasonable prices. The beer is very well kept and changes frequently often with local ales. The Landlord and his wife have transformed this pub into a real community hub. There is live music on a Wednesday and at weekends. You are assured of a warm welcome

Went here to have a drink while waiting for our grandchild who was at a party there. Although we did not eat, the buffet laid on for the party looked great , as did food at other tables. Service was with a smile. Plenty of indoor and outside tables and some onsite parking. The only downside for us was that they stopped serving food at 7pm.

I have been several times for their excellent lunches. Sadly my husband recently passed away & we decided to hold his 'wake' at the Pippin, what an excellent decision we made! Vicki made the booking process easy & on the day the food & service were first class. I cannot praise Simon & Vicki highly enough for what they have achieved with this pub & for us made a sad occasion not only bearable but memorable. 👏

I have recently had my 21st birthday party at The Newtown Pippin and they were brilliant!! So well organised and such great communication. The food options were endless and the team were so accommodating. The food its self was amazing and had many compliments from our guests. On the day, the room was decorated so beautifully. We will definitely return for future parties. Thank you Vicki, Simon and the team!!

Would not recommend unless you are a regular. First time going in as it's on our doorstep, we were hoping for a friendly reception and good food, we had anything but! Ordered Dirty Fries with bacon and sour cream, Nachos with beef Chilli and two Pepsi's (we weren't offered a size and were given pints). Asked for the Dirty Fries to come deconstructed (each item separately on the plate). Waited over 30 minutes for the food to arrive Chilli first, then the Fries 10 minutes later), whilst regulars who ordered after us were served theirs. Fries weren't deconstructed. Inch of liquid at the bottom of the bowl of chilli nachos. Not sure who the group of two older adults and two children were, but were greeted with hugs and had there food within minutes of walking in, even though there were a number of other people waiting for food. The sign "We don't serve fast food, we serve good food as fast as we can" really doesn't cut it, if you only have one person cooking, they don't get all meals ready for a table and send it out together and the food doesn't arrive as requested or to a decent standard. We might of visited on a bad day, but I got the impression from the staff and customers, this was an average day. If Newton Pippin has received 'Pub of the Year' 2023 & 2024 in Bracknell, it goes to show how bad Bracknell pubs are!! Total cost £30 For a starter, dirty fries and 2 Pepsi

This pub is brilliant - an individual, family feel, friendly staff and great live music events, both covers and original music. On our most recent visit they overheard it was my Dad’s birthday and generously produced a cake and candle and got the whole pub to sing. Incredible example of going the extra mile. Would highly recommend.

We love this pub always such a nice atmosphere. We had Sunday roast for the first time this week and were so impressed! HUGE roast which was all well cooked, loved you get a big pot of gravy to yourself and just like I would make a roast at home, nothing fancy just a great big plate. We had beef and the vegetarian wellington and both were tasty. Then homemade crumble and custard! Yum. Great value as well!

Me and my other half popped in for lunch on 08/03/24. This was our first visit and will not be our last. The pub was quite busy with people having lunch (there were only two free tables). The young lady behind the bar was warm and friendly and advised me straight away that there would be a wait for food. This was fine as we were not in a rush. We enjoyed a couple of drinks before our food arrived and wow it was worth the wait!! We had garlic bread and a couple of pies, both were delicious! The landlord and landlady both apologised for the wait for the food and were chatty and friendly. Finally, we have found somewhere that does amazing homemade food and serves great beer after 11 years of living in Bracknell!! Thank you to the team at The Newtown Pippin.

When I was younger, I never visited the run down ugly germy pub that frequently attracted the vandals. But BUT, oh but fast forward a decade and a half later, I have heard about its turnaround by some good hearted kind people and decided to go. And oh my god. It now attracted the local friendly community and is owned by a wonderful couple and the bar staff are lovely. The inside of it is done up so nicely and the surrounding terrace is beautifully decorated. Glad it has won awards. Well deserved. I come in here to eat the lovely food they prepare. It's not just a pub, it's a community hub offering all sorts in the week. And look out for special events. There are some good hearted people who bought the pub and transformed it. Job well done. Glad a part of the surrounding area now has new life being breathed into it and not the opposite!!! And the portions were so generous too. very tasty good food. Thank you. cannot thank the owners enough.

Most improved pub 2022 and best pub 2023 awarded by SE branch of CAMRA. Not been to the Pippin in 50 years because it was so rubbish. Obvs now improved so had to check it out. Excellent Winter Wonder from Butcombe and Roasted Nuts from Rebellion. £5 a pint. Friendly young barman. Didn’t eat this time but the £10 lunch menu was seen to be popular with groups of the ‘older crowd’.

We had a great Christmas event today at Newtown Pippin. Our children were so happy to meet santa and had very good presents of good quality, food and snacks and lots of activities to keep them busy for 2 hours. Also it was a very low price of 10£ for all of this. Later on, they had Christmas disco which lasts for 3h with a good dj which kept them intertained and busy dansing and playing games. Looking forward to the next events. Keep it up Newtown Pippin! Thank you for all your work on this ❤

Me and my partner decided to visit for lunch the bank holiday just gone and I have to say what a wonderful experience we had. We had a small problem with our food order but they identified it and came to us with a refund for the extra item we had ordered accidentally. This may not sound much but so many places wouldn't have bothered. On the subject of food it was delicious, fresh, and VERY well portioned! Lots of scrummy things on the menu to try (we will be returning) By far the best thing for us was how warm, friendly and welcoming the staff were. They were attentive and chatty and couldn't do enough for you. The pub has a wonderful atmosphere. There is real warmth and community here. So much going on at this pub too, lots of music and other events! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon.

We’d booked our children in for a swim clinic over the road and popped in for a drink and some lunch. Honestly from the outside, we really weren’t sure what we’d find however this was the nicest lunch we’ve had for a while. We ordered a couple of jacket potatoes which came with a deliciously fresh salad and we’re done to perfection with fresh ingredients. We normally go to the Golden Retriever when we meet up however the warm welcome we received from the Pippin is far better than at the Retriever and whilst the food choice is smaller, we’d rather support this lovely husband and wife and help make their pub a success. Thank you!

I visited the pub on a Friday afternoon in January and I was only there for about an hour as me and my friends decided to leave as the bar staff were extremely rude to us and we ordered food and it was dry and there was no flavour, I had visited the pub a few years ago before the new owners came along and it was horrible with an awful reputation so we hoped that it would be better now. However, the owner looked miserable and didn’t seem to want to be there at all and we could hear a lady in the kitchen complaining to what sounded like a child about the customers and about her own personal issues while making our food, no wonder the food was terrible the cook was too concerned about talking about herself. I will never visit again and I recommend you don’t either

The new owners have transformed this local pub. I visited it once under the previous management and didn't return until the new owners took over. The owners and their staff are friendly, welcoming and efficient. The decor inside and out is just lovely, with care, attention to detail and thought given - colourful, bright, welcoming with lots of lovely little touches (e.g. a bottle of sunblock in the ladies loos in the summer). The food is fantastic, fresh, home cooked, and they cater for vegans. They have live music monthly and the atmosphere is fantastic. They are a family friendly and also dog friendly pub. This is definitely my new favourite local.

After visiting for food and drinks as a small family outing initial start up was good. Bar staff became a bit pushy about buying shots and was regularly delivering them to the table with a card reader about an hour and half in we were approached by an aggressive rude women and asked to leave the premises. She made wild accusations without evidence and came across rather aggressive!!! Seems to be if your face fits sort of place!!! Never had a problem with the previous owners 🤷‍♀️

We booked a table however on arrival two members of staff kept apologising that they were fully booked instead of asking us if we had booked. After explaining we had a table booked we were sat at a table that hadn't been cleaned from the last customer. A red rose was on the table and whipped away before we took our seats. The lunch was poor quality and poor value. Tiny amount of salad with no dressing. At least we were offered salt and pepper! The Tea was excellent.

I’ve always been impressed with Las Iguanas as a chain however the Bracknell branch seems to be the best in Berkshire. The staff are friendly, attentive and the food is great. Special shout out to Dean behind the bar. That guy knows his cocktails and makes the best Margs.
