The Running Horse in Bracknell Forest

very lovely service from these two workers felix and james, one of my favourite pubs

very lovely service, especially from two workers felix and james if i remember correctly, they were very helpful and friendly, and i am honestly very glad for the assistance they provided throughout my meal there.

Kids pizza undercooked and burger overcooked and dry on a Friday 4pm , rest of the food great in our party of 7, shame, because nice place for a quick bite to eat and drink usually.

What a lovely team .excellent service .well done to all you

absolutely fab evening! thank you Kally!

Great place to eat with good options

Cally, Hannah and Richard are amazing staff and really made our visit memorable, the all of the food and service was excellent I would highly recommend coming here for a anything from a family meal to a nice few pints

Food was great and James was great also

It's alright. I'd like for there to be a few healthier options, and a few people I was with said their food wasn't cooked that well. Extremely good value though.

This used to be a good pub, but the food and service has really gone down hill recently 😞

Good food, reasonable price. James, the server is nice, make us feel great!!

Nice food. It was live music, and the lady who welcomed us was great. Nice tasty family dinner 😊

Great food and service - Would definitely recommend!!

Lovely staff, James was very happy to help with our order.

Nice relaxed atmosphere in the running horse today. Food was good, served hot and not a long wait. James served and was very friendly

Steak and ale pie is very good.

Sarah makes us feel relaxed and can has a real good laugh and can cheer us up.

Love this place- visit every week

Steak was lovely melted in mouth. ALL staff very attentive NICE AND CLEAN very happy

As always, 5 star visit. The staff are so friendly and our food was delicious. Will be back soon.

Good food and quick service, thank you.

Have such a lovely experience at the running horse kally is so lovely and always makes us feel so welcome shes brilliant . Always are made to feel welcome the staff are amazing and food is good

manager called sam is horrible to staff and customers but caroline was the only one with a smile and cared about customers

Very very disappointed with our latest visit to the Running Horse. I decided to bring my five children here for a quick dinner because I knew it had a contained park and the food was simple but nice on a previous visit some years ago. We ordered 5 meals two of which were from the Kids Menu advertised as Meal Deals. I was not aware of the Kids Meal Deal promotion and I was not prompted at the bar to order the drinks and deserts included at the time of payment. I later returned to request the ice cream included with the Meal Deals and I was told very clearly I should have ordered the ice cream with the kids meals. This was an alien concept to me as why would you consider a desert before eating your main meal? Regardless of this concept, the servers attitude and tone was really poor and unacceptable. The wait to order food was far from acceptable as the restaurant was half empty and, rather than serving the ten customers waiting patiently to order at the Bar, the Manager decided to wonder around aimlessly and stop to play darts completely ignoring his customers waiting to order. The Service at the bar was really shocking. A server called Amelia was really abrupt and seriously lacked any customer service skills. She clearly hated her job and rolled her eyes when I queried the children’s meal deal I had missed on my order. Amelia’s blunt, sarcastic response was “well when you walk into a shop and buy a meal deal you would buy it all at once wouldn’t you?” To this I responded “That may be the case but can you tell me where I would get a meal deal that includes ice cream as a desert?” To this I reminded her that I wasn’t in a convenience shop I was in a restaurant to be served. Amelia abruptly concluded the discussion with “well I didn’t serve you did I.” I found the complete lack of apology or interest to be amazing. In conclusion; Food - acceptable as it is exactly what you expect from low cost food Service- Really shocking with very poor customer service. Waiting Time- Customers waiting at the bar unnecessarily whilst staff are clearly not interested in service. Such a shame as I recall enjoying our visits in the past to this venue

The food here is decent (I ordered a Smokin Jack burger) ended up a little slightly over done, couldn't really taste the sauce in the burger. Service here is lovely for a family restaurant, wait staff are attentive and always on hand to help Atmosphere here while being a family restaurant is mixed with a rustic pub vibe which kind of works if a little off putting at times Overall for an easy lunch or dining out experience it's worth a shout and giving a try especially with the different deals each day too.

Bought a slushy and a English breakfast, simple and fast

Well priced food and drink available from a varied menu. Many daily specials as well. Free car parking.

Great and friendly service from our waiter James. Will definitely come again.

Just as we were about to eat really loud music and some sort of bingo game started to play from the speakers. It was unbearable and no.one was playing it. We asked it could be turned down and were told no. In order just to be able to eat we had to move tables. It was still really loud but the speakers were a little further away. Like loud music but this was ridiculous in a restaurant at 5.30pm.

Table was greasy but the staff were good and the food was nice

Lovely food and great service from James!

Food was lovely for the price! We are very local and would come back again! Kally was very helpful and the service was very good! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic service today by Michelle made us feel so welcomed and well looked after. The food was amazing also overall an amazing experience

We have been using this pub for some time always a welcome and most of all welcome our dog always treats and water available food and drinks reasonable price

Great food and plenty of it. Service good. Will go again.

Lovely service, James was our waiter. Lovely guy, very friendly, couldn't fault them.

Very friendly food is always on point ! We come here regularly as food quality is best in the area James came to check on us

Really friendly with good food at decent prices Will be back

Lovely pub. Really good portions.

Great customer service as well as delicious food.

Great value breakfast with good quality meats. Beans and mushrooms also very good quality.

Ad hoc booking to entertain the children, they always want hungry horse, food was good, quality and portion size and good value, will be back soon. Server James was attentive

Great service from James at hungry horse Bracknell. Food was perfectly cooked and enjoyable

Always amazing service from all the staff

Great service! Great staff. We have never had a bad experience at the running horse. Served my James who was very helpful

It just nice to relax and excellent food to

Very good food cooked by Rachel. Excellent service by all three members of staff, Rob, James and Sam.

Very nice experience. Good food and very friendly staff. Good atmosphere. The server James was very professional and friendly 👍🏻

Stopped in after a day out at Legoland, the staff were fantastic and very kind and helpful, amazing with the kids and welcoming. Excellent park for the kids too. The food was delicious and came out in good time. Would recommend to anyone go too and we will be coming back.

Thank you Holly and Rob for cooking a Fantastic meal James was very polite when serving us. Will Definitely Return

Staff was very welcoming and the atmosphere is very warm and cosy.

Lovely Pub and Restaurant with a really nice outside space - Environment was clean and in a good state of repair - Service was very good and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful - Food was served piping Hot and very very Tasty - Two adults and a child ate and drank for less than £30 !!!! Plenty of car parking and a nice play area - I must say that the menu had a good selection and everything was very competitively priced - Well worth a visit!!!

Kally and Rob were incredible. So lovely. So helpful. Would definitely return because of them. Great pub, one of the nicest hungry horses we've been to. All of the team were lovely too

Fast service, great cost to quality food and drink. James was very good at looking after us. Will go again and have been a few times since refurbishment, and is much better.

Was my sons 10th birthday the lady was extremely kind and brought my sons cake out food was fab

A massive thank you to Sam and Sarah

Lovely staff and service, don’t like sauce and cutlery on dresser. Unhygienic everyone putting hands on it not wrapped

Came for a family meal,service was quick and staff were very friendly/polite-thanks to James and Hannah for serving us.special thanks to the chefs Rachel & Rob,steak & burgers were cooked perfectly.only thing I would say is the decor needs a bit of a spruce up.

Always good food for the price and service is always excellent

Lunchtime visit. Just me and a friend on a weekday. Service okish, sat outside, tables needed a clean as dis ashtrays - they smell- area could have done with a sweep. This pub used to look inviting - its sad and tired now 😴

Popped to our local HH for the first time in years. Bit shabby but food was lovely & served quickly & hot! OH had fish & chips, light crispy batter, not greasy. I had mac n cheese, very cheesy & delicious. Had fabulous service by James, friendly & very attentive.

Called in before race's and had some nice food and drinks can't fault it great pub 👌

We stopped here for a late Sunday lunch. A few free to sit tables, food was tasty and good value for money. The new menu looks good with a many options. Staff was friendly, especially James who provided a great table service.

Great food , very friendly staff

Our server James was very friendly, the food was great and overall experience was good 10/10!!

I used the tesco coupon to buy fish and chips. When I used the first coupon, the black lady rudely told me that the Tesco coupon could not be used with other discounts. In other words, there is no buy one get one free offer. Monday to Friday £12.49. I want to cancel my order without using my Tesco voucher and change using another payment method. The woman in black said: Tesco has already deducted it. Please pay the balance in cash. That's £9.69 x 2 = £19.38. That is, the same meal is £6.92 more expensive. too bad.. After adding the price, the portion size becomes smaller. Will never come again.

Food was so fresh and hot. Plenty of food.

Compliments to Martyn, Rachel, James and Hannah for a great meal and service. Well done guys!

Had a great night thanks ro Cally and the chef Holly

Today's meal was absolutely spot on. Holly smashed the Mixed Grill and the 11oz Rump. Everything was cooked perfectly. The kids meals were great too. Kali was delightful as always. Thanks guys and see you soon!

Brilliant service! The staff definitely make the place what it is. We had a big group of us and they made sure we were all served promptly and that everyone was happy.

Tasty value for money food. Friendly and attentive service. Great atmosphere for the Euros Final.

Lovely staff and quick service. We came as a big group of us of 27 and the staff catered to all of us so well and the service was so quick considering how many of us there were. Made sure the kids food came out first with starters and constantly checked if everyone was happy.

Thanks to James & Kally great service, caring and with a smile!

We spend the weekend here for Ascot races. We spent 2nights in the running horse for food and I must say it was excellent service and food.

James Our host was amazing and friendly The food was amazing

I had the cheeseburger chilli dipper burger meal. Great combo.. more like a spaghetti bolognese with a cheeseburger but still tasted good. Good service.

Great service from James! Super attentive and helpful! And lovely food made by Martyn and Rachel, great place to spend a Friday! Will be back for sure.

James/Richard/Michael great staff at the runner horse

If I could score this zero I would!! Stale burger buns, dry burgers, sausages that smell rotten and lettuce that has white mould!!! The food is rank! Save your money and DON’T EAT HERE!!!

We had an excellent experience here today. Commented it was the best customer service we have received in a long time. The waiter and waitress couldn’t be more helpful.

Our server, James was incredibly polite. We were told that we would need to be patient due to the restaurant being busy. However, service was really speedy with delicious food.

Great food, lovely service James was so helpful and polite.

Jess and james were both lovely and made sure we had everything we needed . Martyn and Rob the chefs cooked are food and it was all delicious

James and Sarah absolutely lovely!! Great food and atmosphere plus sooo cheap! Will be back xx

Our visit today was very pleasant, as the weather was lovely we sat outside near the park as we came with our children. The service we were provided by James was excellent. He was very friendly and would come out regularly to check all was ok with our food and if we wanted anything else.

Always a nice place for lunch, consistent food and very friendly staff

Great service very quick piping hot food excellent value for money. Great staff from Ollie in the kitchen to service by James

We visited the Running Horse Bracknell Berkshire this month June 2024 it was the first time any of us wanted to try it out for a good lunch time meal together along with my Shih Tzu dog Bertie. So good to find a friendly pub lunch that would allow my good behaved dog to come with us. The staff were extremely friendly and welcomed us on arrival and thanked us and welcomed us back when we left. The food was very good,we all heartily would recommend the pies. A lot of choices for starters, main and of course desserts. We will be returning here when we next visit with my Sister. Thanks to all who made sure we were looked after throughout our visit. Well done Running Horse Bracknell.

Very good food and lovely staff, so welcoming 😁 the place is clean and everyone is so friendly stopped here on the way to ascot.

We have a hungry horse much closer to our home but prefer to travel 30 mins to bracknell much better food and the staff are so helpful.

Lovely food good service. Served by James. We normally come during the week. Today we came saturday tried the new menu on offer Mediterenian seabass and my husband tried jerk chicken wings. Very please good food.

Very good value, James was a very good waiter

Food was good and James service was good

James was super lovely and helpful, very chatty and always has a smile on his face! He is an asset to the company!

James was lovely - great service! Thanks Martyn for the fish and chips!

James looked after us very well, food was hot and very good. Martyn did a good job with the food, thank you

Serviced by James, very nice chap very helpful. Good food will be back again

We didn't eat but popped in for a drink. We were served by a very friendly lady.

So happy to see one of the few people who keep things working within this restaurant. She always makes people feel at home and relaxed whih is why we always come back. Service with a smile and are you OK boo with nothing but smiles. Great service when I think she is called Michelle is working.
