The Queens Oak in Wokingham

We had a fantastic experience . The roast was delicious, and the atmosphere was absolutely lovely, warm and cosy, especially with the roaring fireplace. Despite our group of 30+ being a bit chaotic (nearly everyone forgot what they had ordered, and some forgot to mention they wanted kids potions!), the staff handled it brilliantly. They were incredibly friendly and efficient, making sure everyone was looked after. Highly recommend!

We had a bacon burger and a chicken burger, for which we ended up paying £42.00 for. That's higher end prices but definitely not higher end food. There was a large group of us, and we ordered in advance. The service was good but we, as was the rest of our party, really disappointed with the food everything was cooled until dry and tough. There were no child portions available even though these were ordered in advance. And some of the party's chips were cold. If you can't cope with larger parties, don't accept the booking

Best Roast dinner in Berkshire. Fantastic staff and service. Well Priced.I thoroughly recommend.

Had an excellent Sunday lunch here

I really like this pub. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. The food was beautifully presented with flair and flavour. Masterful, Paul the Chef. I’m going to go back this week to eat there again because it was so good.

Excellent Food & Service in this village pub .. Full credit to Paul the chef and his friendly minded staff on providing a lovely Sunday lunch .

Barstaff were friendly enough but the girl stopped mid serving us to answer the phone! ... surely a real person in front of you takes precedence over a phone call? Then when we ordered our 2nd drink the bloke (tall slim shaved head) stopped and started speaking to another customer ..obviously a local... and left the other member of staff to complete the service, then he stood at the window very close to us and started talking rather loudly about his Aston Martin ...at least I assumed it was his ..rather rude I thought

A pub off the main roadside sadly without a sunset 🌇 but nice tall trees 🌳 shaded garden with plenty of tables and dog friendly although the dogs water bowl 🍶 sadly didnt have clean water in nor any dog biscuits offered or visible on the bar. No dog water offered either 😕 , so only a 1 paw star review there. The food was nice and presentable, but as the children described, it is very pricey there, perhaps because there off the beaten track makes the costs higher. A little slow to serve the service could be better. No food allergies checked while taking the order, and we had to leave our meal to ask for sauces. On the plus side, a delightful cibatta with brie n streaky bacon 🥓 with cranberry sauce was very I've nice not seen it on a menu since 1997, I had it and thoroughly enjoyed it, a true classic. The chicken 🐔 burger looked amazing. There was a plant burger 🍔 on the menu, so alternative options sold, and the classic fish n chips 🍟 looked great with old style batter and was very much enjoyed. The 2 desserts 🍨 were devine shared btwn 3 and enjoyed for a bit of mix and match the dark orange berry taut and the berry cheesecake 🧀 scored well. 4 eat out 4 non alcoholic drinks 🍸 2 lime and soda waters 1 zero guniness 1 appletise 🍎 4 meals, 2 Desserts bill just over 110 GBP As the table said near us when they were reviewing the menu, we were not up north now as they reviewed the menu prices . Is expensive down south.. I was very surprised with the several snail or slug trails on the carpet 🤔 especially being the dog friendly side as they Trail isn't that friendly to dogs and can give them lung or heart worm, so it was pointed out to one of the workers so it could be addressed during there next cleaning. There was no lighting ambience, candles, or lighting of bottles on the tables nor flowers, although several bottles with lights that didn't work were placed behind us. Im sure it would have been pretty but the dried flowers 💐 on the snug side tbh did look past their best n more brown rather than pink but I'm sure probably looked very pretty when they had they're colour There is room for some improvements in key areas. If sitting in the nicer side of the restaurant (should you not have a dog) then it does look a little nicer, barr (excuse the pun) the old frayed rug in the entrance which really has seen better days and makes the place look tatty. The snug n dog side could be presented a little nicer In my view.

I highly recommend this place. Families are welcome with their 4 legged friends. The service is great and the food is very tasty with lots of options. Don't forget to ask about the specials.

Nice pub. Garden is good and usually quite busy when the sun is out. Sunday roast are generally good in fact food and beer in general is pretty good all round but cost of a pint and a packet of crisps as a quick stop off is a little on the high side.

Great atmosphere complemented by excellent service. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.

A lovely pub! Dog friendly! Excellent service, and excellent food. Very generous portions!

Excellent food, staff and a lovely pub garden.

Fantastic pub, amazing service and excellent Sunday roast

Had a great time here with family and friends! The food was delicious, the staff was super attentive, and the atmosphere was cosy and clean. Plus, there’s plenty of parking. Definitely recommend!

Lovely location with great food and beer topped off with great service.

Real ale available. Miserable service though, thats for sure.

Very nice pub with a nice dog friendly garden. Good for a few walks around there (via Pub Walks app). Good beer and cider selection and staff very friendly as are the other patrons.

Pubs haunted i had a strange experience in the tolet area i herd a lady whisper in my ear while on the loo 🤣🤣 lovely place great staff an my food was so tasty

We took a short walk cross country to this lovely pub. Nestled in a quiet corner on a country lane. It has a huge beer garden with plenty of tables and some covered seating. Inside was clean and tastefully decorated, complimenting this historical building. Two of us had the ground steak Queen's burger, a homemade super generous beef patty, which was very tasty. Although the menu was a little pricier than some others, it reflects quality, I suspect there's a great chef behind the scenes here. I think we were served by the landlord, who gave me the impression that he runs a tight ship where quality and good customer service are paramount. Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great find and worth a visit. Dogs are very welcome.

The service is brilliant and the food is even better. Really fresh and tasty, and can’t believe how good value it was. Will be back for sure 👍

One of the best country pubs in the area, if not the best. Great food and service, lovely area to sit in the garden as well, and have a few beers during the “summer”.

Great food and beer, well worth a visit

Staff, management, food and drink all combine to make a great experience.

Great food as always and friendly staff! And the dogs loved the treats!

Update a year later. Love this pub - the owner (amazing because you can tell he cares) and staff are lovely. Food is great and the atmosphere (particularly for a Sunday roast) is great. So glad we started to visit here - and some great walks around as well from the back of the church next door. Update: just as awesome. Love the staff, atmosphere and food. Just had a Sunday roast lamb and it was delicious and brilliant! Thank you to the team at this lovely country pub. X

What a lovely find!! Recommend downloading pub walks app, lovely walk directly from the pub. Good was delicious, service was so prompt. Can’t fault it

What an absolute gem of a pub. Very tucked away but we found via the pub walking app so started and finished a walk here. Delightful setting, very large pub garden and super nice food. Only downside was the chef, I’m guessing he was having an off day as he was getting very frustrated at us ordering food at 2pm on a Sunday and made it feel like he was doing us a favour. Somewhat embarrassing customer service skills but the rest of the staff were only too helpful once his grumpy attitude had been taken back to the kitchen and for their positivity and still recommend/return

Great dog friendly pub for Sunday dinner. Friendly staff.

This is my local so I have a vested interest in it doing well. Food is good pub food, staff are super friendly and atmostphere with 3 or so different areas works really well. A little out of the way so it does not get passing traffic but as a result some people go there just to get away from things. Summer is great with good sized garden.

Very nice roast, lovely ale, great service, great atmosphere. Only slight annoyance is, that there is nowhere near enough gravy, and you can only purchase more, rather than be given a small bit. That seems a little mean. Would go again.

Spent a very pleasant afternoon in the garden , dog friendly as well and a well kept pint of Stella Another visit recently very enjoyable meai excellent value for good food from a decent menu .Don't be put off by the road closures pub is still fully accessible from both White Horse Lane which takes you straight into the pub carpark or Church Lane where there is plenty of parking by the church or just past it ,as they say use it or lose it enjoy your visit

Fantastic Sunday roast with friends. Staff couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Will be returning even though it's a 40 minute drive away.

The best Sunday roast! Such a cosy country pub.

My first job was here loved this place Angie ran a tight ship looks like it's still going strong I'll be visiting thus year but not as a 16 year old kid as a 36year old with my kid spent can't wait to see it

Great traditional pub with superb service and quality food

Very tasty burger and dirty fries, beer good too

Super pub fantastic food and staff a great find just wish it was nearer home

Amazing Sunday lunch and dogs are welcome 10/10

Updated Review - Nov 2023. Delighted to say this continues to be an excellent pub. Very tasty food, friendly service, and reasonable price. Having not been for some time, I liked the new decor and will certainly be going back for a family meal. (book ahead if you want a table at busy weekend times).

Lovely pub, food ok, but expensive with service charge on top. Guinness is the dearest in the whole area, including Wokingham. Sorry but will not be going there again.

Our walking group of 12 enjoyed lunch here today. The food and service were outstanding, a beautifully situated pub and lots of lovely walking in the area. We will certainly visit again, the whole experience was excellent 😊

Absolutely fab place to eat, the calves liver is divine. Best pub in the area.

What a wonderful find! First time here, and we were both impressed by the food, service, and staff. The Goat curry was definitely worth trying. We will definitely be back as we both felt that the staff went over and above to make us feel welcomed.

A very tasty Sunday lunch for the three of us. I would recommend this pub/resto.

Food only average and way over priced, and on top of that 15% service charge added. Never again!

Nice old type pub with food just had a pint menu looks good

Meeting a good friend after 40 years, The Queen's Oak seemed to be the right place to visit. Situated near the church and heart of the village, the staff were welcoming and friendly and immediately put us at ease as we were led to our table. Drinks were brought to the table and the food order was cooked and delivered in good time. Fish and Chips for my friend and I had the Ciabatta Salt Beef Sandwich with chips. All good quality and most enjoyable. The room is light and spacious and in the winter, a lovely log fire provides an added bonus. There is a beer garden with an area for children and well worth a visit when visiting Finchampstead.

Wow, a Sunday Roast that makes me smile! Roast Beef with all the trimmings, topped off with a superb sized sticky toffee pudding dessert. The venue is tucked away along a country lane opposite the local church, a beautiful venue full of history and charm. The oak trees lining the road and surroundings making it into a true countryside feel for the restaurant. The staff were superb, the service was fantastic and the food was 5 stars. Look forward to returning as this visit was for a Birthday celebration. The parking options are superb, lots of spaces right outside or if full an overflow opposite just outside the church is also an option. A drop off directly outside the pub/restaurant is available for easy access.

Great time, good choice of food.

Just had a great Sunday lunch as a group of 8. We had the beef (we were able to have it pink), lamb (wonderfully blackened), and parmigiana (full of flavour). Staff were very helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble.

Sat in the garden, nice and quiet so that my mum could hear, order food from the bar and pay, food is brought to the table.

12:01 A lovely warm welcome from the friendly staff at The Queens Oak. The sun is shining in the beer garden, a beautiful first pint to what will be a long evening.

Lunch time visit with my 96 year old friend Dennis. Rang ahead for best access for Dennis on his Rolator and they could not have been more helpful. Friendly greeting and service, table waiting for us, great menu choices and friendly service by Louise at a relaxed pace. Lovely surroundings and atmosphere with other diners. A dietary requirement was expertly handled when the head chef came to our table to clarify. Hearty meal, will be back for sure!

Lovely pub. The only downside was that you have to scan a QR code on the tables to access the food menu and i could not get any to work on my phone. They do still have paper menus so not really a big deal. I would definitely go back.

Only drank the beer which was OK Garden was quiet for a warm summer evening but there were plenty of people inside

Lovely spot in a quiet area. Garden is large and can accommodate a lot of people very comfortably. Parking available. Food is priced higher than average but the quality reflects that. £5 for a portion of chips. But what a fantastic portion of chips it is.

Lovely outdoor space - we only stepped inside to get drinks.

Great burger. Unique and flavorful. Great outdoor beer garden

Food was ok but very over priced

Food looked good, didn't eat so no allergy update. Nice garden,, dogs allowed in garden and one bar inside. Lots of nice walks nearby.

The staff were lovely, very friendly and welcoming, and they accomodated for the baby we had with us and provided a high chair. The food came out quite fast and was superb, and location and place itself beautiful, and the guarden out the back, which we went out in to have drinks in after the meal, is one of the nicest i've seen. Will definately come back again.

Lovely staff and garden, great stop off with the dog!

Food, drink and service all excellent, plus the pub itself has a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great well run pub and restaurant. Good beer, wine and food. I've eaten here 4 times and it's been excellent every time. Nice garden too for the summer dining.

Lovely good quality food, reasonably priced and nice welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful afternoon in this perfect country pub- great food and beer options, oh and those dirty fries - I need more very soon!

We had the best experience at Queens Oak last night with some friends and family for a birthday party. Unfortunately my grandma was feeling nauseous and fainted but one of the bar staff Gemma was swift to catch her and sang her a sweet melody whilst nursing her back to health. Overall 10/10 would absolutely recommend xo

Great football/rugby chat with the landlord

A Wonderfully traditional, quentisensual English pub, with exceptional food. As well as the most hospitable staff, warm and personabl...would recommend to all my family and friends.

Fantastic meal, great selection of wine and wonderful atmosphere. The best pub for a catch up with friends and family.

We really enjoyed a family dinner this evening. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Plenty of variety to choose from on their winter menu and the food was magnificent. Looking forward to coming again for the amazing food and service.

Great setting. Good food 🥘 and beer 🍻 with warm welcoming service.

Really very good indeed. Friendly welcome on arrival. Nice bar and snug with a restaurant dining area. We did a classic Sunday lunch and both had the Roast Beef. The roast beef with all the trimmings was quite superb. Huge portions and we added cauliflower cheese. Sadly, due to Dry January, we didn’t have any booze but it would have complimented a glass of Merlot perfectly. Good value at £50 in a lovely friendly village pub. Will be back.

Lovely pub in a much sought after location - out of the way and not easy to find! I was there on Boxing Day when the staff were finding it difficult to cope with the number of diners and the drinkers, many of whom had come to watch the Morris Men. Would have 5 stars if they were better organised behind the bar.

Lovely little pub but service could be improved.

Food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Felt a bit pressured to vacate our table ready for the next people which took the edge off a great Christmas family get-together.

Great village pub. Had a super Christmas lunch with a load of friends. Really good meal with a wide range of alternatives to the usual Christmas fare. Something for everyone's taste. The staff were lovely too, good service with a smile. They even laughed at our awful jokes! All really good, we had a great time. Many thanks. 😎👍👍👍

Great little pub with great food and friendly staff👍

A lovely country pub with a real friendly atmosphere and the food is amazing.

Best hot Sunday roast we've had - very friendly staff and great customer service. Cosy atmosphere and welcoming to walkers and dogs. Thoroughly recommend!

Terrible experience today. We are a party of 7 who have been regularly lunching here for 18 months but four of our meals were extremely poor today, chips accompanying three dishes were so oversalted they were inedible, steak was uncooked. When we complained the meals were not replaced and after complaint to manager still no adjustment to the bill only 4 complimentary coffees. Not the way to treat regular customers - we will not be back

Always fantastic food and welcoming

Great Sunday lunch and lovely friendly. The roast beef was the nicest I've had out for ages and the cauliflower cheese was v yummy. We will be going back for the winter menu soon 😋

We walk to the pub when we can . We just love it especially being dog friendly, food is lovely

Visited recently for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed. Had heard good things and they were correct. Delicious food and very popular so you will need to book.

Food and service very good. It's a popular place so parking can be a bit of a problem

Went for a quick lunch. All fine. Lovely attentive bar maid.

Lovely pub, lovely staff in a lovely location!

Good selection of ales and large pub garden to enjoy summer evenings

Found this little gem on Thursday,made to feel so welcome. Service, menu, ambience were all as they should be for a lovely lunch. We will be back thank you x

Lovely old building off the beaten track, very good coffee, best burger in the whole world and other country's . Friendly efficient and good looking staff. sat and watched food coming out , it all looked amazing. Plenty of parking, large garden. I will be going back.

Only 4 miles from me but I never knew it existed. Lovely old pub . Had a burger and coffee. Possibly the best burger I have ever had. Staff were pleasant and efficient. All in, a great find, I'll be back.

Good food nice setting good service

Always good service and drinks. We will come back to eat at some point.

Great Venue, nice beer garden and freindly staff, 3 real Ales on offer! Will be back soon!!

Great pub and good food as well. It was great to see it so full of people as well.

A hidden treasure! The building and the garden are beautiful, the food is excellent and the team are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I had a big ask to see if I could work here remotely for the week WITH my dog AND a fan due to the heatwave. They welcomed us in to the perfect corner to set up, it was easy to connect to the wifi, plug my laptop in and not only did they give my dog a nice big bowl of ice water but as they love dogs, she’s been getting cheeky pork crackling from the kitchen! Her mind is blown, she’s made friends with all the staff and she has been very happy spending time in a wonderful, positive environment. They kept the building perfectly cool when it was hot and and they were always attentive and relaxing without being overbearing. I am so glad I found the perfect place to work for the week! Highly recommend every person (and dog!) pays a visit! Thank you to the whole team for being everything that you are! We will most definitely be back!!!

The heart of Finchampstead. The staff were very helpful and supportive about finding gluten-free products.

Friendly service and good quality mains. A range of ales on the pumps.
