The Old Hatchet in Bracknell Forest

Stopped here because Legoland wanted 40 pounds for a 3 and 7 year old to eat pizza. Best decision made the entire trip. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. Some of the best wings I've had in a long while. If I lived in the area, I'd be here 3x a week.

Service was slow,no response from any staff, food was ok,sat with empty plates waiting for dessert menu for ages while staff were standing chatting.

Doesn't actually open until the stated time. They won't actually tell you if they want you out before this, they'll just turn off the lights in the seating area and in the car park. Very disappointing, but then they won't see us again so it doesn't matter to us.

I went here with my daughter yesterday. My daughter was hungry, and they happily provided the food a little earlier than the time the kitchen was open, and it was amazing food! Not only I was new to the area, but they also helped me locate some local necessities. Very friendly and kind service.

I visited the pub for the Shakespeare in the Garden event (which was briiliant) and ate beforehand. My friends enjoyed their food but sadly my fish was burnt, the mushy peas small portion and cold and chips I doubt homemade. Ale was fine and service was excellent

The Best Beer in England HSB!!! The Food is very good! Share the fish and chips is huge!! Highly recommend!!

A lovely pub with a ton of character, fantastic service and. Incredible food. The whipped goats cheese starter was light and sweet, perfectly put together. The Hatchet short rib burger is one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The whole burger is a very well made standard construction (albeit with nice mustard mayo added), but the meat itself was juicy, cooked perfectly and had incredible flavour. The sticky toffee pudding was also just an exceptional version of a British classic. The staff were all down to earth, friendly and attentive. The Old Hatchet is now my ‘go to’ for good, honest, delicious food in Ascot.

Just had dinner and it was excellent. Food and 🍺 were first class. Atmosphere and service were first rate.

Everything we had was tasty and cooked well, friendly staff too

The best ever fresh fish in a Homemade beer batter and stunning chips ,mushy peas, tartare sauce ...Highly recommended for a delightful lunch..

Great pub had an amazing supper 👍🏼

Great food, awesome seating outside

Lovely place to eat fantastic food very tasty,staff very friendly manager easy to talk to can have a laugh with him lovely homely feeling gave generous tip well recommended

Lovely half timber pub with nice staff and nice patrons

I went here for lunch on Monday and it's my first visit although my friend goes here a lot. It's a lovely old building, with beams loads of character. The service was amazing, the guy who served us was friendly and nothing was too much to ask for. The food was amazing and of a high quality, I had the pork belly which was perfectly cooked, followed by a white peach creme brulee. My friends had the fish and chips, I couldn't get over the size of the fish! All wonderfully tasty and well presented. I really enjoyed my visit and hope to go again soon.

Service was quite slow and the main dining area was so cold! Food good and creme brulee was fab, but everything felt overpriced. TBH was expecting a higher standard. Surprised they don't sell ginger beer.

Amazing 16th century pub / restaurant. Food and service were great

“A Hidden Gem in Berkshire’s Countryside” I recently had the pleasure of visitig The Old Hatchet, and it exceeded all my expectations. This charming 16th-century pub, nestled between Ascot and Windsor, is a true delight. Warm Atmosphere: As soon as you step inside, you’re enveloped in a cozy, welcoming ambiance. The crackling fireplaces and rustic wooden beams create the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Historic Charm: The Old Hatchet’s history is palpable. Originally a set of woodmen’s cottages, it has retained its character over the centuries. You can almost feel the echoes of past conversations and laughter. Gluten-Free and Vegetarian Options: Kudos to the kitchen team! They cater to dietary needs with finesse. Whether you’re gluten-free or vegetarian, you’ll find delicious options on the menu. Friendly Staff: The staff members are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They make you feel like a cherished guest, adding to the overall warmth of the place. Reasonably Priced: Despite its historical significance and culinary excellence, The Old Hatchet remains reasonably priced. You get exceptional value for your money. Don’t miss the enchanting Plaza Mayor, the two-tiered Aqueduct of Segovia (a Roman marvel), and the awe-inspiring Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Whether you’re seeking a hearty meal, a cozy drink by the fire, or a taste of history, The Old Hatchet is an absolute must-visit. I’ll be returning soon! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Quirky old English country pub, great atmosphere

Burgers are massive and the chips are perfect

Love this little pub! Steeped in history, with great ambience, a welcoming fire and great ambience! Thanks Joshua and Brent for the excellent service!

Lovely old country pub with traditional English food. To disprove my previous point the rack of ribs in bbq sauce was excellent.

Great food, service and atmosphere

Went for a family lunch (7 people). Service was good and able to talk. Good for dogs too. Food was a real let down- burger buns were stone cold. “Mediterranean “ bread was more slices of bread. Cheese on kids burger not melted,

Had a really lovely Christmas dinner with the family. Turkey and veg all cooked superbly. Prompt and efficient service from the staff.

We had Sunday lunch here which was good but very expensive for a Sunday lunch. One of us ordered a roast lamb but got a roast beef. I didn't realise until the next day we had been charged for the lamb. Friendly staff. Nice decor and fire, although the area we were seated was very drafty.

We stopped here before we went to a spa, it was really lovely the food was so good, the sauces they put on the chicken wings was delicious. Scored 4 on service as it was a little slow but nothing to complain about. I think they were short staff.

Great food , friendly staff, open fires and onsite parking. Great quiz evening

Horrible Wet Cold Day BUT lovely warm log fire to greet us. Good Food. Polite Efficient Young Lady. Stayed for 3 hours so Thank You👍

Wonderful traditional pub. Very welcoming and a nice menu selection.

Go here for a drink but DO NOT eat here!!! Compete waste of money, staff dont care. I ordered a single burger and as soon as i picked it up it fell apart. Full of sauce and vegetables and no real substance, i told the lady behind the bar and she couldnt care less. Seems to be run my teenagers and nothing more. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING.

Food not great, ordered a blue cheese burger but might as well ordered a plain burger. No substance to this dish as the burger bun falls apart easily. Pub looks like it’s ran by teenagers who don’t understand what hospitality means. Wasn’t looking for a refund as my company pays. Won’t return!

Always great! Super service and a great atmosphere. Couldn't ask for more

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Fantastic Sunday roast! Will be back again and highly recommend:)

Great find. Brilliant food and great people.

Perfect for a quick dinner after Legoland. I recommend the fish pie

Stopped off for a drink on the way back from the car boot. Lovely pub great service and lovely atmosphere. Didn't eat here but food looked lovely as it was going past so will return for a bite to eat in the future. Sat outside because the sun was out and enjoyed the beautiful garden. 😍

Fabulous roast, delicious veggie option and fantastic service. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food in a lovely old inn. Definitely recommended

A lovely pub restaurant. Great outdoor seating area and dog friendly. I thought the food and the service were fantastic. We will be visiting again soon.

BEST FISH & CHIPS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They initially lost our booking, then moved us tables twice. Waiting staff didn't seem to know much about the menu and kept coming back after we'd ordered to tell us things had run out.

Absolutely love this pub, friendly staff, lovely country pub atmosphere. Roaring fire in winter, good garden in summer , dog friendly . Highly recommended 👌

Old pub...nice interior .good food

Highly recommended for pub lunch or dinner. Good food. Good prices. Good service.

Lots of character, friendly and efficient service and most importantly Roast Chicken was very tasty.

Live this place. Staff are nice and accomodating. Food is very good and the atmosphere is great.

Beautifully cozy, great Guinness. Perfect

Lovely service. Nice atmosphere. Please do get more than one vegan option though… Just the standard burger is a bit boring.

The pub has been under new management for a few months now and they are doing a good job. The staff are friendly, the beer is good and the food is lovely. What more could we ask for. Oh yes, Bella the lab wanders around checking that everyone is okay :-) March 10th update: The Old Hatchet is under new management again. Unfortunately this means Bella no longer patrols the garden. Dogs are still allowed though and all seem to be friendly and well behaved. The atmosphere is still very cozy and friendly and the staff are very good. The menu is now different as you would expect. A nice selection though. They have a little way to go to match the previous management, but they seem to be getting there.

Lovely place, nice staff, good food 😎

Lovely old world charm about the pub, and a cosy warm real fireplace, barstaff very friendly, didn't eat there just met for drinks, but the food being served looked and smelt delicious.

Excellent pub. Great food and service.

Very cosy and lovely atmosphere, great service and really nice food

Just had a meal and a couple of drinks at the old hatchet pub... Poor service... rude staff...disappointing food..

Chicken pie was amazing (shortcrust pastry) The soup of the day (butternut) wasn't that warm, taste was a little funny and the garlic bread was beaut ❤️ Atmosphere was beaut.

We had a party of nine for Christmas lunch. What a fantastic day, we were given a very friendly welcome and the service was impeccable. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely old pub, excellent food and service. Very pleasant staff, had a great time. Many thanks. Grandson said its was the best burger he had had ( and he's American)

Lovely cosy pub on a very cold day . Staff are friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back

A great country pub with a roaring fire friendly staff and good food ..

Our first visit to the Old Hatchet and it was just what we wanted - generous food portions and attentive service. The pub has several different areas which we liked and of course the building has lots of character, a proper pub! We took our dog, too, who was made very welcome. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service and a beautiful fire 🔥

I like the Old Hatchet. It's one of the few pubs left in the Ascot area that hasn't succumbed to the insidious tide of redevelopment. So many wonderful little pubs have been lost this way in recent years, but the Hatchet has stood firm. Cozy, inviting old school pub with lots of wood beams to crack your head on! Good selection of beers, wines and spirits for all tastes. The food is very much up to scratch too! There is a pleasant outdoor area with is tastefully undercover for the warmer periods of the year, and decent sized carpark to the rear should you be driving. The staff are pleasant and welcoming which adds to attraction of this establishment. Go find out for yourself. Definitely worth a visit.

Changed hands recently and some good improvements. Firstly, it's open every day, was always difficult to know when it would be open so ended up not going. Friendly welcome and good service for lunch. Food was good, tasted fresh and served in good time. Had the goats cheese thingies with beetroot and the hummus to start, both we couldn't fault. Main course was couple of pies and a vegan burger. Again, fresh and tasty with some really nice chips. Would like to see a more interesting menu and more vegan options, but we had a great lunch and I'm sure we'll be back.

Lovely Christmas meal and warm welcome from friendly staff. Who knew roast turkey and Yorkshire pudding was a thing?

Wonderfully hospitable pub! Great chicken wings and a brilliant selection of beers. The building itself is classic oldie worldie and cosy!

Came across this lovely jewel of a pub on a day out in the area and actually contemplated returning the following day it was so good. The pub is situated in Cranbourne between Windsor and Ascot and has a large car park. It has low beamed ceilings and open fireplaces which on the day of our visit were roaring invitingly. The service was impeccable from start to finish, drinks ordered and delivered immediately. The staff were attentive and available despite the pub being reassuringly busy as we placed our order. The menu is extensive with plenty for all tastes. I can honestly say the food was beyond good and far better than I have had at some higher end restaurants in the area. My wife accidentally spilled her drink at one point and the team jumped in to deal with it discreetly and replaced the drink free of charge. The cost for 2 courses plus drinks and coffee for 2 people was £70 in a warm comforting environment, served by well trained attentive staff was money well spent and in a period of gloomy economic outlook an investment in total pleasure. There was even a fantastic playlist of music at perfect volume as to be audible but not overbearing. The team at the old Hatchet deserve to be congratulated for impressive hospitality, top class unpretentious cuisine in a clean welcoming , comforting environment. Faultless! We will be back and will be bringing family and friends. This place should not be a secret!

Excellent service, nice warming fire, good food. I'd give a 5 but the positioning of the table made it feel like we were sitting at a table of 3 with the Queen

Had chicken wings in sriracha sauce It was great Washed down with a pint of london pride By a roaring fire Doesnt get much better than that!!!!

Stunningly good Sunday lunch. Lovely surroundings and an open fire. Proper British pub.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff.

After going there for wing Wednesday it has now become a regular spot for my partner and I as it had the best wings I've had in years with a great atmosphere and location.

An excellent experience overall. On our arrival we were welcomed and shown to our seats. We had a disabled person in the party and staff couldn't have been more helpful. The Sunday lunch menu was comprehensive and from the number of people there very popular. Because of the number of people service was occasionally slower than normal but the food (Sunday roasts) when it arrived was excellent. Would i return. Most certainly. Thanks everyone for a pleasent lunch!!

Food was very good and staff very nice. It would have been a higher score but they did not have any semi skimmed milk for coffees only oat or coconut. So unable to have one 😕

Very decent Old School pub with decent good and good waiting on service.....

Lovely Sunday roast. Service was fast and attentive. Recommended.

Excellent establishment. Very good food and service. Whilst not the cheapest, I highly rate the quality of the place.

A warm welcome, dog friendly. Their restaurant is fantastic their chef produces fantastic food. I would recommend this to friends and family ir anyone that asked.

Great Sunday lunch, friendly helpful staff

Lovely old and traditional pub. Warm welcome and generous lunch portions

We came on a friends recommendation for Wing Wednesday..... We wasn't left dissapointed, absolutely delicious.... Please try the cauliflower wings, highly recommended.

Sehr schöner Pub, vor allem im Sommer, mit großem Biergarten. Sehr gute Küche.

Fabulous pub! It's been a staple for my trip and I've eaten here everyday so far. Top notch service,food, and beverages. Can't recommend enough.

Awesome awesome pub grub! We came for the wings Wednesday and we absolutely love it!!! Food was so tasty, drinks were delicious. We love it and would definitely come back to try others.

Great food, lovely staff, was enjoying the ambience. Shame another guest had a barking dog! Which they didn't seem to calm.

Great country pub.. outside area is under a canopy and fully heated. Food was really good and service was friendly and quick !

Delicious pub food. Sunday roast was amazing. Crème brûlée was delish

What an amazing experience. Very friendly staff. I had a an awesome fathers day, with a little gift from the staff. Highly recommend 👌

Popped in for a drink after a long drive. Very welcoming, warm and friendly in a professional way which is exactly what you want. Clean tables, good service, will definitely go back and have dinner one day.

The food was delicious. A table where everyone of us was so impressed with our different meals, well worth it. A picturesque setting with such friendly customer service, we felt taken care of. They even loaned us a pack of cards to play through dessert. The restrooms are so clean and lovely! Coming back soon!

You must try the pork scratchings

Booked for Sunday lunch on 29/05 and was not disappointed. I can honestly say that it was the best pub Sunday roast that I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Excellent venue , super friendly service with wide beer choice and top notch food ....will definitely be back !!

First time visit. Very impressed with everything. Frendley staff nice and clean all round well worth another visit for eats.

Excellent food drink & service.

Lovely looking pub. Food really nice. Girl showing us to the table who was also serving behind the bar maybe could of been a bit less obnoxious.

Roast potatoes not cooked properly! Didn’t even eat them! Had to ask for more vegetables, as there was only enough for 2 and there was 4 of us! Crackling was air dried. You should get what you pay for!

Went here for lunch the other day. We were accommodated without having made a booking in advance. The food was delicious! The service was outstanding, we had a newborn baby with us and the whole experience was very pleasant. The outdoor seating area is very nice and the owner is a lovely lady. We would definitely go back.

Excellent, first class service, and helpful staff, highly recommended 👏

Really good food & drinks. A bit pricey but worth it!
