The Tally Ho in Wokingham

Must try the harissa mayo!! It’s unreal

Great food, traditional yet different and done in a special way. Great service and plenty of non alcoholic drinks options.

Excellent place for food and drinks lovely place.

Excellent food and first class service. A little more expensive than a typical pub based restaurant but well worth the premium.

Great food, there’s no question of that. We have to go to the bar to order food and drinks. They messed up our order so half our table had their meal and the other half had to wait 20 mins for theirs. It affected the whole experience. Nice choice of puddings. We were outside but blankets and heaters made it just warm enough.

Fab place... More of an eatery than a pub

Over-cooked/ burnt quiche and a bit of greenery not worth £13.50. Didn't want to complain at the time as l was out with friends for their birthdays.

2nd review - I recently visited Tally Ho for the second time, and I must say they have made significant improvements since my last visit. The overall experience was delightful, starting with the delicious food they served. The staff was friendly and attentive, promptly attending to our needs. Despite it being a busy Saturday, the staff made every effort to accommodate everyone, which was impressive. Additionally, they had a barbecue event in the back, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. While the bar attendant informed me that they doesn't offer cocktails, they did provide a variety of alternative beverage options. Overall, this visit was a great experience. ------------------------------------------------ Beautiful location and they have taken every step for COVID safety. Food average, took 1 hour take the order and 15 min to deliver the food to the table. Staff not managed properly they are all over the place but nothings happening.

Have always passed by when working this way, always wanted to try. Stayed for the weekend up the road so booked a table for Saturday evening. Walked into a pleasant greeting, lovely warm cosy feel to a country pub. Was shown to our table which was next to open fire which was lovely as was turning cold outside. Waiter was very pleasant and attentive. Both had the Brie to start which came with a apple and cider relish, so tasty. Then had the wild boar pie, mash and veg which was delicious and the steak burger again delicious. No room for pudding. Very good prices, not disappointed at all. Would recommend. We will definitely make a trip up here again.

Great place! The food was really good and the wait staff were really efficient.

Food exquisite. Service was both friendly and professional. Good choice and variety for both food and drink. My local now.

Lovely pub. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious food which was quick to arrive. Our 2 year old loved the food from the children’s menu. We’ll be back soon!

Really impressed. The food was excellent quality and very tasty. Nice atmosphere and very good service. Will be coming back!

Come here for a couple years now never really had a issue but the other night someone decided to run a key or something of the sort from one end of my car to the other but there’s no cameras covering the front car park which is strange and apparently considering there was 10+looking out the window and 10+ in the garden nobody see anything nothing they could do wouldn’t go if you’ve got a nice car …….

Really excellent country pub and restaurant, of the type I thought had gone. Reasonable prices too.

Our first visit to this delightful restaurant. The decor is first class and there is a lovely calm atmosphere. All staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The food was well presented and delicious. I can recommend the lamb burger with glazed halloumi, which was very tasty. Others chose the steak burger with pulled pork, which was also good and the Caesar salad with chicken was very fresh. Desserts were delicious! Worth a visit!

We had lunch with our son and his partner. The Tally Ho is a striking pub that looks well maintained, has a large carpark and is very well presented inside. We had our dog with us and we're shown to a table inside as the weather was not great outside. Great selection of beers and a comprehensive menu. Our order was taken and served in good time and all four meals were delicious. We also had desert and have to say that the complete experience was exceptional.

Pauline our waitress was great, The food was appalling, I would never go back or recommend

The Tally Ho is an amazing place to spend time with friends and family. I’ve been there several times and every time the food was excellent, both taste and presentation. The atmosphere is very cosy and country side like pub. One of the best pubs in the area.

I think the best ploughman's lunch ever. Friendly and attentive staff and dog friendly. Good ale too.

Stopped in for some small bites and a drink - good drink, great food (recommend the squid!!) Thank you for looking after us Jack ☺️

Lovely setting and food is excellent. Good choice of interesting beers, off-road parking and peaceful and attractive outdoor seating area.

Lovely food, great gluten free and vegetarian options. Nice lively atmosphere. Great service. Reasonably priced.

I shared this meal with my special friends. They also liked it very much. The food was great served with a smile. I was amazed how busy ti's was but made no difference to the enjoyment of having freshly cooked food and good service. You say going again, certainly am as soon as able.

Amazing Sunday roast. Beef cooked to perfection. Rare😊

It’s a lovely pub and setting and the food is really tasty. Excellent service. Unfortunately the miserly portion size really let it down for us. Tiny amount for a Sunday roast. For the amount we paid three bits of potato, two thin slices of beef, a Yorkshire pudding and a tiny bit of cabbage wasn’t great.

We booked a table and went to the Tally Ho for lunch with our daughter on her 26th birthday, somewhere she has been to regularly, only to find they would not serve her alcohol as ''according to their policy, the server thought she might be under 25 and would be required to show age documentation (phone photo was not accepted)''. A birthday lunch sadly memorable for the wrong reason. Even though someone of 16 or 17 years old can legally be bought alcohol by an adult with a meal, I fully respect their legal right to not serve anyone they choose. As there is no mention of this age I.D. policy on the website, the online booking system or a mention when booking by phone. I would recommend anyone under 30(?) to take original age I.D. with them to avoid the disappointment we felt. Although the food was good, I won't be returning.

We had a fabulous lunch at the Tally Ho. Lots of gluten free options, various alternatives to a Sunday Roast, very attentive staff and the food was all exceptional.We shall return!

For a rare (child free!) evening out my husband and I chose the Tally Ho last night, but unfortunately left disappointed. The setting is absolutely beautiful, no better place to be on a nice summer’s evening. The service was great, however our food was inedible, in fact so bad my husband sent his back. We're not sure if they were just very busy, but it can’t be hard to get a burger and steak right, and both were poorly cooked and had a very burnt taste to them. It was such a disappointment as it is a lovely setting and the staff are very nice however given just how bad our food was, we will likely not return.

Upd: exactly one year later we came back (by coincidence) and it was just as lovely as I remembered. Great roast, incredible selection of sorbets for pudding and staff as wonderful as ever. Excellent pub with big car park and lots of outdoor seating. Food was great, one tiny thing was for some reason pork roast didn't have any Yorkshire pudding. Lovely staff, very polite and professional. Reasonable prices. Definitely will come again.

Well located country pub with good food selection and plenty of room to dine outside on the terrace or inside.

A very nice place for a meal & a drink. Huge garden area where kids and adults can play. Very good coffee.

Great field for kids to play nice food standard but nice pub fair Very attractive building Nice loos Had the fillet steak and halloumi chips Kids didn’t much like the kids food though dry burgers and they said garlic bread too spicy.

First time visit. Will definitely be back.

We were down this way visiting family and they had booked us in for a meal at the Tally Ho. From the moment we walked in the place it gave a rustic but fresh country pub vibe. The staff all evening were welcoming, attentive, polite and very professional. The menu offers a diverse array of foods from traditional burger and chips to Asian fusion food. There was also a vegetarian option. All drinks from wine to ales offered a great variety as well as soft drinks. The food on arrival was served hot and freshly made. It was all tasty judging by four clean plates. Pudding offers were what I would call traditional and again freshly made. Very seldom I gave anywhere a 5 star rating. All I can say is if you're in the area please try the Tally Ho. I'm confident you won't be disappointed.

Great place for a drink or a nice meal all year round. Book it visiting at busy times. Chips with peppercorn sauce are divine! Pies are very good and rotating guest ales.

I had a chicken Caesar salad from the light bites menu, when it arrived I couldn't believe the size of it, it was tiny smaller than I would have expected of a starter, there was hardly any lettuce and the chicken was dry and tough and I didn't find any anchovies. Definitely not worth the price of £13.95.

The Caesar salad was an imposter. Very poor and the chef has no idea what’s should be in it

Very nicely decorated, warm and welcoming. I had a selection of starters and nibbles, which sadly failed to impress. The deep-fried brie was raw in the middle, and rhubarb compote although looked amazing, lacked flavour. Parmesan truffle fries, ultra-small portion, no sign of truffle and only a smattering of parmesan. Nduja croquettes were tiny, but the aioli was outstanding. Chicken wings again lacking in flavour, chicken liver pate, nice enough but needed seasoning - In fact, all of it needed seasoning. All of the food looked good 👍 Sadly the only salt available is table sort which is damaging to human physiology containing only two minerals sodium and chloride. When you're pegging yourself as a luxury eatery, you'd think you would go the extra mile and put decent salt on the table. #itsthelittlethings The team was incredibly helpful, kind, courteous and friendly. Having said all that I would still return and give them another shot at the title. I didn't eat any main course as I feel you get a much better understanding of the culinary capabilities by choosing five or six starters. The upstairs gent's loo has a clear window so a keen-eyed motorist or walker could see your wedding tackle whilst pointing Percy at the porcelain.

Great experience from start to finish...

They forgot a meal that we ordered, didn't do the obligatory check in and didnt take away our plates when finshed! Someone may of been having an off day....! Not complaining just reporting. And it was my mates birthday 🎂

We were made to feel very welcome. The staff were attentive and the food was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Used to go occasionally with parents when I was a kid. Went back some 40 years later and was very good. Extremely nice inside and food was good with great service.

Really nice Pub - we have a number of equally fantastic Brunning and Price pubs in the Chester area too

Food was nice but really not impressed with the service. Probably won't go back.

Stumbled on The Tally Ho whilst our driving and stopped for lunch. What a lovely pub. Plenty of seating inside and out. Food was very good and the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Will definitely return here if over in that neck of the woods again.

Great meal catching up with friends, friendly service and good food. Parking is good, plus we were in a motorhome so plenty of long spaces. Great stop off and would definitely book again

Lovely outdoor terrace environment, great food and friendly service.

Arrived around lunchtime - mid week in May 2024. Didn’t have a booking but was happily offered a table for 2. Sat down and give menus, waited 20minutes to ask a member of staff walking by if we could order drinks, drinks order taken and food order. Waited another 15minutes to ask where our drinks were, member of staff said they were on their way. Waiting another 10 minutes and left taking our custom else where. There was 3/4 members of staff walking not doing a lot. Having worked in the hospitality industry I hate to give a bad review as I know how hard everyone does work, but this was a poor show, poor management and lack of communication between staff.

Food was a bit over cooked but nice place and staff

Came for a Roast on a busy Sunday. The food was delicious, and service very quick. the drinks were quite expensive in comparison to the food prices which felt fair. Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the pub both indoors and outside. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Popped in for a bite and a beer, lovely pub. Great service too.

Recently visited The Tally Ho on a sunny Sunday with my boyfriend. We had a reservation and got there a little early to sit in the glorious garden and have a drink. When time for our reservation we were shown to a table with a beautiful view. The staff was very warm and accommodating throughout. Our food arrived promptly and was piping hot - we both enjoyed it thoroughly 🙂 I'd highly recommend The Tally Ho to anyone who wants a lovely pub meal with excellent hospitality and service!

Even though very busy, the staff were very attentive, food was prompt and well cooked.

Excellent food, special callout for the Crispy Beef Salad. The Morris Dancers outside an added bonus!

A lovely place and the staff were excellent. However, my belly pork was a meagre portion and the roast potatoes were inedible.

Lovely location with a great lunchtime menu. Also, friendly and attentive staff. Excellent.

Great Atmosphere Great friendly staff. Service 100%

Quick visit whilst away with work. Great food and friendly service.

Lovely friendly place to have a drink or a meal and staff are very good

We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary with a lovely meal. I'm a Ceoliac, so I have to be very careful that I don't eat anything containing wheat or gluten. The Tally Ho has a Coeliac menu, so no chance of being cross contaminated. Lovely meal, great service & lovely company. Thank you.

We had a table booked online but were told that due to a glitch they didn’t know which table we were allocated - then left us waiting 15 minutes after our booking time while they seated people who arrived after we did. I’m sure if we’d turned up 15 minutes late they’d have given our table away with no qualms. Your customers’ business is a privilege not a right. We won’t be back.

went here for 1st time will definitely return,was a beautiful day lovely sunshine,they had outside bbq which was great,thought we would wait ages for food but was very quick service and food great,lovely lady at outside bbq are so friendly, be back,great atmosphere and great for kids to run free in the large outside area

Great pub, nice setting, friendly staff

A beautiful place to relax and have food and drink.

Excellent Sunday Roast for lunch today.

Went Friday night to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Amazing food as always. Lovely decor as it has just been refurbished. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow and we had to ask for everything a couple of times. Still recommend for the quality of food if you aren’t worried about the wait.

Great food, friendly staff. Helped to make a nice family meal out.

Food was amazing, great atmosphere and very attentive staff. A lovely spacious village pub. Highly recommended.

Went there last night for a family meal-absolutely faultless -brilliant food, great atmosphere, reasonable price -we will be back!

One of my favourites. Food good staff good book to avoid disappointment

The best Sunday roast in the area! Absolutely love this place, highly recommend the roast lamb and the crème brulee!

Fantastic dog walking and enjoying the peace and quiet of normal life.

Lovely pub. Great food and service - definitely recommend.

Waited over 1hr 40 mins for our order! Food good, and compensated for delay!

Unfortunately, the food was average, the fish was very bad, the coating was thick and very greasy, the beef was rubbery and the gravy was like powder from a bag.

Our Sunday lunch was very good. It arrived very quickly after the order was taken. A good serving of meat & vegetables.

Because we have visited before many times in the past for dinner, whilst passing on 29/2/24, at 1.30pm, called in and asked if we could just have a coffee. Welcomed and invited to sit and await service. Looked at twice by a waitress who had been instructed to attend to us totally ignored. At 1.45pm as our custom was evidently not required we left without service and have determined that we will never patronise this venue again. For the sake of future profitability I trust our experience has not become the "norm".

Good food nice staff...all good going back again this week

Very good restaurant pub with great outdoors seating Pros + good ambience + good variety of food options + ample parking + courteous staff Cons - vegetarian options could be better - something for kids like crayons etc might help families with kids

We popped in for a drink and some food, we were served by Andy who was an absolute delight. He was very attentive and gave us a lovely warm welcome. He is a huge credit to this pub. What a lovely gentlemen.

Stunning place Cosy warm inviting great food and great service

Went in after a nice long walk, had a drink and the bang bang pork. 6.95£ quite small plate tbh but really nice and tasty. Free parking. Can’t comment on anything else as we only had that.

Amazing food and so many gluten free options, this was a dream for a coeliac. Will definitely be returning!

Amazing gluten free options available. I will definitely be back to work my way through the GF dishes on the menu! I had the steak pie and sticky toffee pudding.

Went for a lunch with a colleague and glad I booked a table as it was busier than I thought for a Thursday lunch. Food was good, staff were very friendly and always ready to help. Plenty of parking and a nice inside. Will be going back.

Freshly made hot good service nice environment decor, polite staff

Lunch today at The Tally Ho was exceptional! 5 star service and 5 star food, we had the squid & mayo nibbles and bang, bang cauliflower, followed by cod & chips and crispy beef salad. Delicious! Highly recommended.

As always, good quality food, quick attentive service, and good value too

Never seen such rude pub manager. We had booked a table for three people and our dog (prebooked) and when we arrived, no table was available. Told us to wait 30 mins to an hour or sit on a tiny table for two. Rather than apologising, he had the nerve to ignore me when I was talking as well. We decided to leave at the end. This is a local pub to us but will think twice about going back there.

Absolutely phenomenal, loved the food and friendly staff. The batter on my cod was perfect. My only complaint is that the outside seating is very low to the ground, I'm over 6 foot tall and it was a challenge to get up and down to order at the bar. Merely a warning about this fact would have raised everything to a 5 Star. Definitely still coming back though!

First time experience with family. Had heard about this and see it regularly while driving past. Great food, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent menu with lots of choices for every taste. Great value for money. Will be back for sure . Highly recommended!!

Haven't been here for ages, and I have to say, the food was amazing, and with two gluten free folk in our party they were amazed that nearly everything was either GF or GF alternatives. Fantastic place, will go again.

Went here for the first time with my family and newborn and the food was beautiful! I am gluten and dairy free and they have so many options which is so refreshing to see! Everything tasted fresh and each dish was full of flavour. The staff were great, they were polite and friendly, the only thing was they were a bit slow when we had finished and our dirty plates sat there for around 20mins before we had to ask for the bill. But the atmosphere is lovely and homely!

Lovely friendly atmosphere, lots of doggy water bowls and dog treats

Very cosy inside, with the fire going. Good choice on menu, portion sizes are decent and food was delicious.

Nice place with good food. A little short on staff when we attended, so had to prompt for drinks, but still good. Lots of parking, pretty location, and appealing place.

Food very good and enjoyable Service pleasant and efficient .

great food service and good value food and drink, staff amazing and food for veggies brilliant

One of my favourite pubs. Service is amazing. I had my best ever Fish Pie..absolute stunning
