This is the third time I have visited this place and the third time the menu was limited to next to nothing. The only difference this time was we booked a table in advance for a simple roast dinner. On arrival, we sat in a nice area. We ordered drinks before we were given a menu. Then when I requested a choice of roast, from the menu, we were told they had no Roast dinners! The whole point in booking the table was to secure a roast dinner. I ended up with Hunter's chicken which I have to say was dry and pretty awful. If I hadn't have ordered the drinks, I would have left without ordering at all. This place is so frustrating and I certainly won't be giving it another chance.

Ate here with friends who live in Newbury at the weekend. Great, friendly welcome. A good choice of beers and ciders and a really good menu. Bonus our friends had a voucher too. Excellent service. Good food at good prices. Brilliant atmosphere in the restaurant too. Would definitely eat here again when we're back in Newbury visiting friends.

Came in was greeted by a very friendly waitress who sat me and my daughter down she was very polite excellent with my daughter and sorted her some colouring and spoke to her about it. She then asked about allergies and took our drinks orders and gave us the menus. She was so polite it was like having dinner at a close friend's house and the starters came out very quick but we're really nice my daughter had halloumi sticks and I went for the sticky chicken they were excellent. Then for mains I had the beer battered fish and chips my daughter had the macaroni cheese and garlic bread my daughter ate all of it which must of been good as she ate both courses leaving nothing for a 8 year old thats a big deal the excellent waitress we had made sure I had all the condiments for mine and got me another drink again excellent customer service. We decided to share a pudding as we wanted to try it but were full from our 2 courses we already had so shared the salted caramel and biscoff sundae the lovely waitress grabbed us 2 spoons and joked with my daughter I've put extra biscuit in there as she heard my daughter telling me how much she likes biscoff and she was sharing with dad l. It was really nice and made daughter really happy she was really nice dad my daughter said when we were leaving and asked if we could come back again soon. So I didn't catch her name but I want to say a big thank you and when I return I'd like to leave a tip I didn't have cash on me this time and the card machine didn't give me a option but if I was running a restaurant I'd want you in my team for sure.

This was our 2nd visit in two days, on a short break weekend. Fell across the pub as it was opposite our hotel. Atmosphere was friendly, staff helpful and we could not fault the food. Mixed grills were superb with everything perfectly cooked and piping hot. Fish and Chips and a 3 meat roast on the 2nd day were also perfectly cooked. All the meals were generously proportioned for the price. We will be back, particularly as the pub is dog friendly.

When I booked my reservation online, I couldn't do the food pre-order. My sister came to your restaurant on the 3 December and when she left she collected a paper version of your menu, I completed it and she returned it. I received an email saying no pre-order of food was taken so when I called the restaurant they said they didn't have my paper order either. Anyway, they rectified the situation and when we arrived on 26 December for our meal, it was totally outstanding. The food tasted delicious and the service from Suzie was excellent and she was very attentive, albeit extremely busy buy always had a beautiful smile on her face. So thank you Suzie

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant section and were served by Suzie, who had excellent service and really made us feel at home. She was serving quite a few tables at the time but consistently checked back that we were enjoying our meal, if we needed any more drinks or sauces and things which we really appreciated.

Had our staff Christmas do hear and although the staff were amazing and the price was also very good the main and dessert really let it down. My starter was amazing. I had the patè to start, the main was OK but nothing really to wright home about. It was the tartlet. But the cheese cake left a lot to be desired. This might just be personal preference for my friend and I and a few other co-workers, but it just didn't sit right with us, and the sauce was very bitter. But the drinks were amazing and the atmosphere and staff were very friendly. So, as a chain, I would say this wasn't their fault at all.

After having been let down with a booking on Saturday evening at The Plough on the Green, we called The Two Watermills to see if they could squeeze us in at the last minute. They were full but told us to come on up. On arrival, we were greeted by a very nice gentleman who took us straight to our table and introduced our waiter, Paul. The food was lovely and hot, and the service was quick. Food MUCH nicer than the Plough!! I was really impressed with the change in this place as a couple of years ago it wasn't so great. A huge thank you to Paul, who was friendly and efficient . He couldn't do enough for us. A real credit to The Two Watermills. Definitely will be back very soon!!

Myself, partner and two of our kids including a 6 month old, just had the most lovely meal! Only made the booking 40 mins prior to visiting. So accommodating, staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, the service is fantastic! We had a Sunday roast (we had the beef) and it was perfection… probably one of the best roasts I’ve had eating out. The countless times I have been to various pubs/restaurants that charge an absolute fortune for a Sunday roast, only to be disappointed by the quality and taste! Nothings beats a home cooked roast… but this was spot on!! So tasty! The atmosphere is really lovely and cosy and they have lots of little Christmas events coming up! Great place for the perfect family meal, kids and dogs welcome. 10/10

We stayed here for three nights over the Christmas period - the first time we have done this as a couple on our own as friends were poorly. It did not disappoint and we had three magnificent meals, including our Christmas lunch. The staff were helpful and friendly and our room was comfy. Thank you for a lovely stay, despite the murky weather!
