The Queens Arms in West Berkshire

Stayed the night as my Nieces reception was held there. Good size rooms,comfy beds. Coffee and tea making in rooms. Very large English breakfast in the morning

Fantastic boozer and restaurant. Drinks are reasonably priced and the food is lovely. Olly, Amy and Carly are a credit to the team. Would definitely recommend.

Racing day out with friends. Very welcoming. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food and drinks. Recommended. Thank you.

Was at a wedding. Lovely place

We enjoyed every single parts of our experience at this lovely pub. Fantastic food, great value and outstanding service delivered by lovely staff - especially Kasey (sorry if I haven’t got the spelling right). We will definitely return.

A lot of money for the food wasn't worth the money. Far from good.

Excellent quality room, lots of local interest as to its name, Bobsworth and local information. Great friendly and professional staff and serve a good breakfast

Joined the horse-racing crowd on a cold January evening on our second visit to the Queen's Arms for a cosy Gastro-Pub dinner. The food was again of a good standard and super-quick to arrive. The service from young, keen and smartly turned out staff was professional and accommodating. We'll return soon.

We chose The Queens Arms as a central venue for family travelling from different parts of the country, so weren't familiar with the location or the pub, but we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, without being over the top, and nothing was too much trouble. The decor is cosy and elegant, and we had the Garden room to ourselves as a party of 13. The food was superb, a good variety and a really nice balance of great flavours without being too fancy - perfect to cater for a family group with a broad range of tastes! Would love to visit again in the summer as the countryside is stunning, and maybe for an overnight stay.

We stayed here for a couple of days in October. The rooms are in what I presume are converted stables, to the side of the pub, with a nice view overlooking a paddock at the back. All are named after famous race horses. Our room was comfortable with a double bed, tea/coffee making facilities, a clean, white bathroom and adjustable heating via the radiators...Great as it was cold during our stay. The only " annoying" thing was trying to get the TV to work with the Sky box attached...instructions are in the room but it seemed a little hit and miss to get it to work. We had breakfast included which was OK. Very basic buffet of potted yoghurt, juice, croissants ( which were not replaced when all used up) etc, together with the " usual " cooked options. Service was friendly but very slow, even when there were just a few guests. We had an evening meal on one of the nights. The food was very tasty, with a nice vegetarian curry available for myself but service was painfully slow. It was super busy in the pub that evening because of some sports match on TV and it was also very loud in there. Clearly there were lots of locals who had come in to enjoy the match and the atmosphere. We planned to go walking on the Ridgeway during our stay and asked the bar staff for suggestions of other places to visit and where to park etc... Although friendly and wanting to help, the staff said they were not local and were not able to give us any pointers on places to visit etc...maybe a suggestion to have some local leaflets available or have some printed walking routes for guests? I love traditional old pubs but I found the dining room to be a little " tired" and grubby. It was a nice break away for a couple of days but nothing particularly special. I would recommend this place for a dinner but I personally wouldn't return for a short break unless attending an event in that area as I'd rather try somewhere different next time.

Fantastic night at the Queens Arms stopping off on our way to Southampton. Amazing food and great selection of wine and a lovely atmosphere. Our room - The Wishing Well, was clean and warm and very computable with a beautiful bathroom. Couldn’t have chosen a better place to start our holiday.

Have had some very good meals at the Queens but unfortunately this was the worst. Sunday lunch. Lukewarm soup in a cold bowl. It was a tasteless gloop. Roast Beef excelent but sitting on a heap of I think kale. One carrot one piece of Parsnip. Two excuses for roast potatoes. An egg flip Creme Brulee which was a brown something. Am afraid someone needs to get a grip. No managment apparent.

Supper with a friend from South Africa. She’d been dreaming of the Queens Arms’ scotch egg and it did not disappoint! I had the duck with dauphinoise potatoes… delicious. So lucky to have this as our local!

I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful this pub is in character and charm, but also how gorgeous the food was. Staying local from Wales, this really was the cherry on top for our stay. The rissoto my father had looked and smelled beautiful. My husband (who is himself a chef) had the hake and he said it was so delicious and even took a picture of the menu. Chicken wings perfect, the butter chicken curry beautiful, the duck also highly recommended. And you MUST have the truffle fries. Price is extremely reasonable... 6 meals and drinks coming to just over £150. Service was excellent. You should all be proud of yourselves, you all do a fab job. Can't wait to come back!

We had a reunion of old work colleagues, with 20 of us meeting in thier garden room. We pre-ordered our meny choices and all the food arrived on time and more or less together. Everyone commented on the good quality of the food and and very adequate portions (too much if anything). Everybody would be very happy to meet again at the Queens Arms next yer.

Amazing food, great service and beautiful decor. I had a burger with with sweet potato fries, burger was a delicious flavour. Hubby had the best rib eye steak he ever had. His Chocolate brûlée with lemon shortbread was perfect and my pistachio mousse was to die for. Cant wait to see what breakfast is like in the morning.

Food, service, all excellent...& because its buzzing (even on Wednesday) also great criac too...Hennessey Room (where I am now), lovely

Great food and a lovely venue. Love this pub, the food is excellent and the service is great too. Sunday lunch is 10/10

Good service, very good food, value for money and I left not feeling at all hungry...............unlike some places. Not full etc but portion size I would say was spot on. I would highly recommend it. Gripe ? Not with the restaurant as such but having several small children constantly running around the dining area is NOT NICE. Yes, of course, their parents should reign them in but they were too busy quaffing and, as we all know, parents are mostly immune to the noise of their own. What if I had asked the waiting staff to stop them being a damn nuisance ? Would they have acted at all ???They are likely to have felt awkward and I would have felt a bit awkward but.........................should I have task ??

We stayed for 2 nights and ate in the dining room both nights. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful.

What a fabulous pub, I met my friend for a catch up lunch. Firstly venue was perfect, plenty of seating choice, not too noisy and really accommodating for the big lurcher. We had a fabulous unrushed lunch, friendly, attentive staff, my salmon starter was perfect for a scorching day followed by the duck with one of the most richest delicious sauces. Can't recommend enough. This will be our go to in future.

What a gem. After a good walk to work up an appetite we were so delighted by this pub/restaurant. I normally major on the staff within a review and I confirm that they were delightful and perfectly attentive, however this time I wish to major...

We came back here after a visit to Nicky Henderson. We decided to have a bite to eat before driving home. Hubby had the Philly steak quesadilla, and I had the Venison burger. The service was quick, and very polite. The food was exceptional, one...

The food is fantastic indeed, very friendly. We are on holiday and get recommendation to come here.

Room really was lovely. Quality evening meal and great breakfast. Good value for the quality and service provided

We went to the Queen’s Arms as a large family group with a baby and we were very pleased with cordial nature of the staff. The beer was great and there was a wide selection of drinks at the bar. We had a very tasty...

You begin with a snappy, attractive, helpful website. Online booking is a cinch (even for a group of eight - many places get suspicious about large numbers). You arrive to a warm professional welcome and your table is ready - but only after you have...

We stumbled on the Queens Arms today and what a find. We asked if dogs were allowed "Certainly". The food was wonderful and good value. The service for the rest of the meal was excellent. Friendly and professional. It was after 2pm and they stopped...

We stayed at he queens arms; the rooms were excellent, very comfortable and clean. The resturant was excellent; food was very good and the service was superb.

Excellent service by friendly staff, a delicious variety of food, generous portions, breakfast was very tasty, I had the full English one day and the veggie the next couldn’t fault anything. The coffee is great too. My bedroom was clean and very comfortable with complementary...

Nice food in restaurant, had the burgers, cooked breakfast was good quality. Room clean stylish with lovely linen and big comfy bed and the shower was fabulous! Polite helpful young staff. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for a wedding and booked a double room and a twin room. Both were lovely and comfortable, the shower was super hot and powerful and the breakfast was great. Thanks.

Impressed again. Midweek lunch. Good & friendly service. Very nice food. Reasonable value. Scotch Egg starter = mmm. Soup = mmm. Haddock & Chips = mmm. Mushroom Pie = mmmmmmmmm. £57 inc 10% SC.

We had lunch at The Queens Arms today. The food was delicious and the service (particularly from Hannah) was excellent. Thank you so much

Lovely food, beef burgers were excellent. Sadly the service was non existent. Hopefully better next time.

Lovely rural pub, well worth the visit with a particularly interesting array of starters (beetroot bhaji was amazing!). Nice environment and setting and reasonable priced wine and main dishes - staff and service good and thoroughly enjoyable!

We had an excellent meal here a few weeks ago but unfortunately tonight certainly wasn’t the same. The sirloin steak was poorly cooked and full of gristle, the peppercorn sauce lacked flavour and the tomato was cold. We are more disappointed by the lack of...

Stayed for 2 nights for our friends wedding held on site. All round amazing weekend. The food and service from the staff was excellent and the room was comfortable and nicely done. Would definitely come again.

Great food, lovey cosy, quirky room, nice attention to detail and friendly, helpful staff! We’ll be back. See you soon 😀

Lovely lunch with family. Excellent choices on the menu, everyone enjoyed their choices and the service was excellent. Very pleasant location and good value for money - what more could you want.

Came for Sunday lunch with a friend. Sat in the Garden Room, service and food extremely good, we will return.

What a wonderful place, and remarkably good value! I stayed in The Wishing Well, a gorgeous, richly decorated room, with an amazing spa bath. The bed was gloriously comfortable, I slept like a baby. The only thing I could quibble with was that the room...

Freddy and his team have created a very special place … the rooms are beautifully appointed with super comfy beds .. great bed linen … each individually furnished and terribly well thought out with lovely extras such as Ren toiletries. The restaurant is sensational… fabulous...

Had a wonderful stay shame it was only for one night. Room was very clean and the bed was comfortable also included full sky sports which was a bonus. Had delightful evening meal in the the pubs restaurant which was very high standard with a great ambiance. All the staff where very helpful and courteous. The breakfast was probably the tastiest I had experienced rounded off with a lovey cappuccino. If you are looking for a tranquil and peaceful location I couldn’t recommend the Queens Arms enough, the whole experience was delightful and me and my wife can’t wait to go back !

Excellent for a pub stay. The bed is very comfortable and the room is very clean. The room is well equipped and the breakfast is very good as well. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Fabulous venue and well worth the drive out. The food was incredible and the service impeccable . Thank you so much for a superb Sunday roast!

Just visited for first time. Ordered green Thai curry and a burger. Both excellent, huge portions, service excellent. Highly recommend

This was our first visit to the Queens since it has been under new ownership and we had a great experience. The staff were very friendly and all wore facemasks and we felt very safe. The food was delicious and so filling that we could...

Had a great dinner here with a bunch of friends as we all live in the area. The atmosphere is great, a lively combination of all sorts. The food is excellent and not overpriced at all. Good beer and a wide selection of other drinks...

Having previously been here and enjoyed a great Sunday roast I had high hopes of my second visit. Unfortunately I left disappointed. We were a large party and between us had many of the dishes on the menu. I started with the beetroot bhaji which...

I have sadly just had to re-write a review for the Queens Arms. I visited for lunch early in the week with a friend, had a most enjoyable meal with a friend and felt very Covid safe as all the staff were masked, were so...

Enjoyed my stay. Staff were excellent and I was even more surprised to learn the owners were on holiday!

We reserved a table online-really easy to do! We where greeted by friendly staff, my wife is vegetarian and enjoyed the risotto i had the Lamb. Food was faultless. On arrival we received a complimentary glass of bubbles which was really unexpected and a lovely touch as we we're out to celebrate our anniversary.

Came for lunch, was delicious.. Lovely atmosphere even with COVID restrictions in place.. Highly Recommended!

Great setting, easy check in, courteous staff and above all the food is excellent. The Queens Arms, doing their bit to bring hospitality back to 'normality'. Thanks

We live locally and we tried a selection of online fresh meats for takeaway during lockdown. Efficient order and collection process. Top quality meat from Walter Rose of Devizes. We’ll be back!

The Queens has always been a favourite with us and we have been regular customers taking friends and family with us over the years. Our last visit was disappointing. Although the service was good the menu had been changed and was limited and without sparkle. The food was more ordinary and the steak pies were full of meat that was rather tough and unappetizing. We want to give our custom but our last visit put us off sad to say. Please return to your former glory.

Calling through East Garston on my way to Lambourn, I was dropped by for lunch and appreciated the log fire on a dreary Monday morning and the warming welcome and service overshadowed the heat coming from the fire. after a very pleasant meal and being given a winning tip during lunch by the racing pundit who was obviously a local, completed a very pleasant lunchtime visit. Chris B

My husband and I had lunch at The Queens, East Garston on Monday this week. Lovely warm atmosphere, attentive staff and the food was delicious - and all very reasonably priced. A nice varied menu which means we will be back!

Popped in for lunch a couple of days ago. Really lovely pub, good selection on the menu. Staff really pleasant and friendly, would visit again if in the area. Would definitely recommend - food was delicious.

This pub is favoured bay the horse racing community in Lambourn and the decor reflects this.The food and service is good and there is plenty of space tp eat outside on a fine day

Sat in the garden with a nice pint of local(ish) ale (Ramsbury Gold) and shared a couple of starters. We chose the squid and the goats cheese starters - both were excellent. As the weather was holding out we stayed on and shared a small Summer Pudding desert.Good times!

I’m reluctant to order roasts when eating out as it is often inferior to what can be cooked at home. I would not hesitate to choose the roast again at the Queen’s arms. The food was all cooked exceptionally well, there were very generous portions of vegetables which had been cooked nicely. Also a decent pint of local Ramsbury beer. The rest of my party had risotto or food from the kids menu. All was thoroughly enjoyed and the service was calm and relaxed, not intrusive. We will be back.

This venue in the country has been used by me to meet business colleagues for over ten years, and has consistently provided an excellent service whether for accommodation, fine dining, or both. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable and quiet, and the dinner menu often includes an unusual choice to tempt the taste buds. The wine list has a good selection and there are real ales on tap. Breakfast is freshly cooked and to order. What more could a weary traveller ask for?

Just returned from Sunday lunch with a friend at The Queens Arms, very good food and service. Would certainly recommend you give it a try.

Stopping in the onsite accommodation I dined here for an evening meal and have to say it was superb. Pork loin was one of the best cuts of pork I have eaten, absolutely delicious. Prices are higher than your average pub but the quality of food is second to none.

The local coffin dodgers were lined up on a row of bar stools when we arrived. And the craic was cracking. Only sorry I didn't meet the girlfriend who could sink 15 pints in a session! Plenty of ale and laughter. But the decor? It looked like a tanker load of pea soup had crashed into the bar.

A lazy lunchtime meeting friends for a catch up and The Queens was the perfect location.

I love the Queen’s because it is welcoming and you are always guaranteed great food. It is a little pricey if grabbing a quick lunch as you don’t get to enjoy the ambience and all that makes the Queen’s worth the price. However, I would highly recommend it. It is prefect for a business lunch/dinner or as a family get together. Good parking and excellent service, The Queen’s is just 5 mins from the M5 so also rather handy for those meeting up part way via the motorway.

Proper pub, proper and utterly delicious food, great service, warm welcome, what more could one ask of a pub in England ? Brilliant..Go there !!!

Sunday lunch was the best I have had for ages. The beef looked perfect, the lamb was apparently superb and my roast pork with the best crackling for years was absolutely scrumptious. The ambiance was full of joy and service impeccable. A great lunch enjoyed by all.

Wife and I popped in on the off chance of getting lunch. Good tasty food and great service - will definitely be returning!

When chef Bengy is cooking, the food served on Fish Friday is worthy of Michelin recognition.

Admittedly I haven’t been to The Queens for a while, but had a fantastic Sunday lunch so felt compelled to write a post and let people know.

Brought here by friends. A pleasant country pub atmosphere before moving to the dining room. I did not know what to expect of the meal but knew the answer when the starters arrived. My whitebait was quite superb — probably the best I have had in both UK, Catalonia and the rest of Spain. The Rabbit Wellington was cooked to perfection for me. The presentation of the food ordered by my friends was high quality, resulted in high praise and I am told the Sirloin matched the best of fine dining experiences.

Not a lot to say really apart from the meal had tonight was superb. Starters were Scotch egg and crab and shellfish, mains of pork belly with black pudding and duck, desserts of salted caramel creme brulee and strawberry panacotta.

Six friends joined me to celebrate my birthday on the 20th. June for dinner at The Queens Arms. We had five different dishes between us, everyone said that their meal was excellent, which I quite agree with; I had the roast duck, which was perfectly cooked. It was my first time there and well worth a visit.

We live locally and often bring clients to the Queens Arms . The warm welcome from the wonderful host John remains the same .. He presides over proceedings and gives off a genuine air of ‘nothing being too much trouble ‘.

had sunday lunch service was great' food was excellent,unfortunatly didn't fancy anything on dessert menu def go back again when in the area

New area for us but really popular pub/restaurant. Lots to choose on the menu. Sunday lunch amazing. Warm welcome from staff and service was very good. Advise booking. Would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Popped in to the Queen's Arms a couple of days' ago after a long soggy dog walk. Thirsty and hungry, scruffy and with dog, we were all given a very warm welcome for a quick lunch in the bar. Drinks for us and water for the dog and two perfectly delicious toasted ciabatta sandwiches with crisp skinny fries soon appeared and equally soon were devoured and enjoyed. Excellent friendly service, warm and comfortable. We will be back - thank you.

We stumbled upon the Queen's Arms by accident and were very surprised. The food was fantastic and the service was great. I would happily go back next time I am in the area.

Nicely decorated & great service. We were sorry we didn't get a chance to eat in their pretty dining room. The menu looked really good! We did have an excellent breakfast though. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Friendly, Clean, Good Food, Good Beer, GOOD A very friendly and accessible hotel and restaurant. Since being refused a table at the Pheasant I will be using this place regularly

Had a really lovely lunch here just before Christmas. Plenty of choice, I had a substantial and fresh Caesar Salad. Beer was excellent ggod choice of wine

We'd booked into another pub a mile away, but had arrived to find it cold, smelling of disinfectant and lacking any organisation or festive cheer - see earlier review.

As soon as we walked in the door we were made welcome by the staff.

I needed a special restaurant for a very special dinner on Saturday night and the Queens Arms was just the place. On recommendation from a friend we called ahead and were given a table exactly when I needed it; great! The atmosphere when we walked in was lovely and friendly. Cosy and candle lit in the restaurant area and warm and friendly in the bar area. I was delighted to see dog beds and a water bowl. All noted for when we need to bring the JRTs!!

Just dropped in at 14:15 on a Thursday to see if the kitchen was still open and the staff said no problem and served me an excellent calves liver lunch.

We stayed in the Hotel - see review in that section.

I had my birthday 50th party at the Queens lodge and stayed the night at the Queens Arms. The lodge is a perfect venue to create an intimate party atmosphere, with plenty of character. James and his team were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, from setting up the room to clearing down. Jess ensured my evening ran smoothly, making sure my guests glasses were always replenished.

What a pleasure it is to be welcomed with a friendly smile and efficient staff. The Queen's Arms is a warm and welcoming pub with an excellent restaurant. The bar offers a wide selection of draught beers, a fine selection of wine by the glass or bottle and the full range of spirits.

Good welcome , great food (really good!) , good ( if functional) service ( might be worth asking how it was when the bill is paid!) in a really warm and comfortable setting....great to have a quality local restaurant and will definitely recommend !

went here Saturday for Dinner had to wait a little while as it was very busy but they took our first drinks off the bill even though we did not think the wait was too long. Great food staff very pleasant would recommend to try we will be back very soon.

Just to say that family and friends all love this place.

A really nice menu, a lovely setting and pricing very good for the quality of food. Very friendly staff.

Knowing the area well we were looking for a lunch stop. Two other local pubs who did food were closed so called into the Queens Arms. This being our first visit. We were not disappointed, very good food and attentive friendly service. Can assure we'll back at the expense of the two other local pubs. Thanks Queens for an enjoyable lunch.

We enjoyed a superb meal in the dining room. The gazpacho was deliciously refreshing and served with home made bread, shame there were no side plates as it is not very pleasant buttering bread on a table. We selected different main courses and my lemon sole was perfectly cooked and served in a smooth butter and caper sauce. My companion, over from Switzerland, had fish and chips which he really enjoyed. He selected the sticky toffee whilst I enjoyed the chocolate fondant; both really good.

We enjoyed a very good lunch in the dining room of this friendly and lively village pub. There is an excellent bar and a good size garden and it is deservedly popular with locals and with those from further afield. It is close to Lambourn and the flavour of racing permeates through the bar area; dogs are welcome.

i have thought long and hard about writing this review.We have always like the Queens, but on a recent visit were astounded to find the place practically empty on a Saturday night.
