Village Inn in Bracknell Forest

This place is absolutely delightful. I head down every month, if not every fortnight, for the Sunday roast. From when we first sit down to when we get home, me and my family are always going on and on about how much we love the experience! The accoutrements are hefty, the portions are perfected and the food itself is the kind of roast you'd dream of. Meal customisation is a breeze and the staff are perfect - me and my family have 'our server', and she treats us perfectly every time, though the same can be said for all of the staff! I'll be coming here as long as it's open. ♡

Sunday Roast was amazing , fab portion size . Vegetables were cooked to perfection and great choice . Excellent value . Will definitely be back

this is both a 'pub' pub and a food pub so take your pick. we ate in the bar area but they have a more relaxed area as well. Service was excellent - Toni looked after us at the pace that we wanted. Menu is mostly pub grub which changes now and then but I have attached todays as an example. I had the steak pie which was a proper pie not one of those with the puff pastry top. I also had the apple crumble and custard which was perfect. Good value for money considering location :-)

Very enjoyable place and great Sunday roasts. The meat is melt in your mouth #5starswouldrecomend (the roasts are banging)

Not bad I guess, but I grew up in this area and I wouldn't choose this pub over many others. Food menu is very stereotypical and service is fine but... I dunno, not a great atmosphere of the sort you want to feel when in a pub. Maybe I'm too used to city pubs so take this feedback as a single visit review, as it's intended. Beer on tap wasn't very varied at all, standard stuff really.

We wanted a good Sunday lunch roast in the Sandhurst area and were told by a local to try The Village Inn. We're very grateful for that suggestion as it was great. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely dining area, excellent food with large portions, and very reasonable prices. This area, which we are only visiting from Downunder, is lucky to have such a great pub We will visit it again before we leave and hopefully catch some music too.

We have just had a beautiful roast Sunday lunch. One beef and one pork. Plenty of meat,veg and gravy. Excellently cooked. We would recommend everyone try the village inn on a Sunday for your roast lunch. Staff are excellent.

Lovely friendly pub. And dog friendly too. Very nice

Wonderful early roast dinner lunch can highly recommend great value for money

Went tonight for dinner and found they have a new chef . Had the fish and chips and the cod was so fresh and the batter was to due for. The triple cooked chips were to die for xx definitely be back xx

I noticed they have a new chef in and the food has gone from decent to extraordinary. Would recommend

My husband and I took our daughter for lunch today. We were made very welcome on arrival and chose to eat in the conservatory as the sun was shining. A delightful young lady called Toni cleaned our table, took our orders at the bar for food and drinks, brought our cutlery, then our food , then popped back to see if everything was ok, which it was. Our meals were fantastic, all freshly cooked and very reasonably priced. All in all a great lunch. Our thanks go to Toni who made the experience so personal. 😊 Will definitely go again.

How can you charge 10 pounds to get in a pub on New years eve that we pop into every now and then ! Well done I won't be back !!!

This place is absolutely amazing it's worth every penny, from the time you walk in to the time you leave absolutely outstanding

Another delicious toast cooked by Ash and served by Tilly. Last minute decision and we were served swiftly before the kitchen closed at 6. Plenty of veg and gravy and the beetroot parcel was just perfect and complimented the rest of the veg (and massive Yorkshires). Keep up the good work! Oh and we treated ourselves to a mulled wine - well it’s nearly Christmas 🎅🏻

Plenty of meat, huge range of veg and plenty of it! Roast turkey and stuffing, roasties, broc, cauli, lovely rich gravy.

We had a really fabulous lunch in the conservatory served by the lovely Toni, the menu is varied and has some good vegetarian options too, the chilli was made with shredded beef and was really tasty

Lucky enough to have another roast at The Village Inn with my husband and a friend. Between us, having all the meats on offer with sides of pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese to share . Good variety of fresh veg which you help yourself to in the table so can pick and choose what goes on your plate. All cooked to perfection (thanks to Ash and his consistently high standards) with extra gravy available which if you like tasty gravy 😋. Nice selection of desserts if you have the room afterwards which unfortunately this time we couldn't manage ☹️ But good options of coffees for afterwards which was a nice end to the meal for the coffee drinkers. Served by Holly and Immie with smiles and check backs to make sure we were ok with the food, needed anything else and drinks when we were getting low. Excellent value for money for what we had. Were sat in the newly painted conservatory which was nice atmosphere to have a chat at the table and catch up. No complaints at all and will be back soon.

Service was amazing especial Dan, he is a credit to the pub and made our visit 😊

I usually visit the Village inn on a Saturday night once (or twice) a month. They have a mixture of music events on every weekend throughout the year, to suit everyone's taste with Live singers / groups, Soul DJ nights, House DJ nights, Karaoke nights etc., In the summer they host various garden events and in particular, I love the Party on the Patio with all day live music and a delicious hog roast, courtesy of Nathan!! Personally, I have always got a very warm and friendly welcome from the staff, whether they know me or not. I last visited on the 11th Nov (2023), to see the Grafters, who are excellent. Toni, Ash and Dot were on duty and they really are so lovely, professional and friendly. The pub is very well located in Sandhurst, right across the road from the train station, and also has plenty of parking on site or around the local area. It has a late licence on Friday & Saturday nights and In my opinion, always has a great vibe. The pub has a lovely, large garden area with pretty hanging baskets full of colorful flowers and lots of covered areas, perfect for the summer, all weathers (and smokers!) Whilst I don't eat there often, when I have done so I found the service is great, the food is very tasty, its well presented, with generous portions and good value. Oh, and I love their Sunday roasts, which you can eat in or take away!! In summary, the Village Inn is a great local pub, great music venue with very friendly staff..... and long may it continue!!!

We have been having take away roast dinners since the Village Inn started doing them in lockdown. Amazing food by Ash that never falls below his excellent standard. Having a drink while waiting for collection this evening it was lovely to speak with Tilly and Dot behind the bar who were friendly and welcoming. We have tried the roasts in other pubs in the area but the Village Inn is bar far the best. We'll be back :)

We came to the Village Inn for dinner and drinks and what can I say?! Excellent bar service from Dot,served with a smile and friendly banter. Food was cooked to perfection by Ash. Will definitely be returning.

Brilliant pub, great selection of food and drink and lots of events and fun nights. Excellent service from Tilly too

Went to the Village Inn to meet friends for drink. Dot and Dan were very welcoming, friendly and Dot is always good for a laugh. A lovely pub to make new friends in.

What a great place to have a drink, a meal or just relax listening to good live music. I regularly attend their Open Mic Nights on a Tuesday, when Holly is a brilliant host behind the bar. Other nights have other events, which makes it an ideal choice for family and friends to meet up. The bar looks small but has fires in winter, which makes it cosy. Outside there is a conservatory for eating without feeling you are cut off from the 'live' action in the bar. Further there is extensive seating in differently themed areas outside - all under cover. Useful in both winter and summer. Highly recommend for any occasion. Parking for only about 10 vehicles is the only downside, but just outside a bus stop, so very convenient if you want to drink over the limit!

Always dependable and fun. Went down for the Friday night meat raffle and it's a great atmosphere. Holly and Dan were kind and efficient, with a great sense of humour. Lovely local pub.

Friendly pub, helpful staff and superb Sunday roast.

Very friendly and welcoming place, visited just passing through and nothing was too much trouble (even put the rugby on in the conservatory for us) Added bonus of live music - high quality and great fun

ABSOLUTELY fantastic 🍻🍻🧿🧿💃🕺💃🕺💃🔉🔉🔉🔉💯💪

Can't identify why but I didn't find I could relax there. Something was lacking bit I don't know what.

We had two takeaway roast dinner, My husband collected it. The food was hot and delicious. Meat very tender. Plenty of veg and lovely yorkshire puddings. Well done. We will certainly do that again.

Good food in a nice environment, pretty pictures, and pleasant staff.

Reviewed and visited a few local pubs in the area and this by far wins it by a country mile. Sunday roast I haven’t had better anywhere, it was amazing. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. I now visit every Sunday for a roast dinner.

Always the best Sunday Roasts. Plenty of meat and a large choice of Veg. Chocolate Brownie was also great!

Travelled from Liverpool for an 18th Birthday great night, food was provided by the host and there was a premier inn at the top of the road which was ideal.

Dropped in after work for a relaxing drink. Stayed longer - enjoying the fun, then instead of a planned takeaway, decided on 3 starters from the pub menu. Absolutely delicious! Thoroughly recommended 👌

Nice cozy local pub, food was ok

Great village pub great location opposite train & bus stops dogs welcome needs more customers...

Good events, friendly owners and always a nice time down there. Slightly pricey though.

Brilliantly aesthetic dishes and lovely dining facilities. Alongside great hospitality. Fully recommend 😊

3 of us had the bit of each Sunday roast yesterday, absolutely fantastic meal, lots of it with beautiful vegetables all cooked perfectly. Lots of extra gravy (bonus) without having to ask recommend this. Booking is a good idea, excellent staff, caring and friendly, will definitely visit again

Spit and sawdust , cramped , tiny little place , not ideal for parties

Decent local pub, great for lunch or catch up with friends. Does big portion of pub grub, nothing fancy, but good. The conservatory is lovely for a drink and it has a good atmosphere on the weekends, with special nights. The garden is particularly good for summer evenings.

It must be an unfortunate series of events for you to turn to this place. I was making a stop by this town and had a little over an hours to kill before carrying on my journey. I ordered two simple dish from the menu, which has taken them 50 min and counting to prepare. There was no update on order or any interaction from staff to keep the wait less painful. In the end, I decided to get up and leave. If you are in the village, I would suggest White Swan which is 2 min away. I hope this review was helpful.

Could not be better. Great menu great food and brilliant staff. 10 out of 10

Lovely food, really friendly and attentive staff. Very welcoming with our kids and dog too. Enjoyed a relaxed meal and will certainly visit again.

Attended the Macmillan coffee morning. Wonderful cakes and friendly people. Thank you Ash for organising. Hope you made plenty of money towards such a good cause.

The food was good, the staff were kind and the price was decent.

Good service. Accommodating staff

Excellent food at a private 60th birthday party. Lovely outdoor space.

Keep giving it " one more try". Bar staff are not nice.

Visited various times and always had good service. Friendly staff. Never had a bad meal. Varied entertainment. Always a good night. Would highly recommend.

Have no respect for neighbours. I don’t mind some noise, music etc but it’s not at a reasonable level. It’s been twice now in two weeks level has been unreasonable. Formal complaint being made to the council tomorrow

Nice friendly pub good outdoors area

Great pub, very helpfull staff!!!

Excellent food, brilliant staff will definitely visit again.

Brilliant evening at the soul and funk night. Great atmosphere

Very nice meals portion size is good.

Went for Karaoke, was quite busy but still got to sing 😎

Only one real ale on tap which was rather flat and lifeless. Not much else to say

So disappointed as we were looking forward to a roast dinner. Table was booked for 2pm on arrival was informed there were no tables in the dining area but could sit on high stools in the bar by the door. Not acceptable as we are both in our 70's and I am unable to even get on a stool! The guy who was in charge made no apology and didn't seem to care so we walked out. Why take a booking if it can't be accommodated!

Divine as always. Tender meat, beautifully cooked veg and fantastic yorkie to top it all

Good live music and outdoor area

Really liked this place, the owner/ manager looked after us well. Unfortunately before he arrived a staff member stood around whilst I was waiting to be served, then as soon as a local came in he served him and another before me, even though he had clearly seen me and I was the only person at the bar.. The entertainment was great fun, and the drinks too.

Always a great night, friendliest people

Had my daughter's hen do there, great night.

Had a sunday roast, was tasty and plenty of it, only very small complaint, vegetables needed a bit longer cooking time

Friendly local pub good food and pleasant atmosphere.

Not been for a while but no a lot faces x good times

Always have a great night here. Staff are friendly and Covid procedures were spot on. Although not the prettiest the beer garden had a good atmosphere and music was nice.

Lovely staff and venue food delicious 🥳❤ all had Fab time with outdoor DJ soul music too 🙂

First time visiting this pub restaurant. Was brilliant. Food delicious service warm and friendly. Would recommend.

Went here on a Saturday night. Quiet and a lovely welcome. Nothing more I could ask for.

Friendly and efficient, well priced and good vibes 👌

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere A*

Friendly staff, excellent food with cheap price.

Ordered a lockdown Sunday roast, plenty of food and it was delicious! Found them on Facebook and ordered on the phone number provided. Highly recommend, thank you

Great food fantastic friendly service from all staff, plenty of outside space xx

I loved the decor here- it felt really cosy and reminded me of pubs I used to visit with my family as a child. The COVID precautions were detailed and made me feel safe, the waiting staff were really kind and attentive, and the food was delicious! Thank you for a lovely meal :)

Lovely atmosphere! Friendly staff & the most delicious food. Reasonably priced alcohol & food.

Lovely little restaurant !!. Friendly staff and very helpful during these tricky times!!.

We just ordered a takeaway pizza absolutely wonderful and tasty well done ash his sunday lunches are amazing thankyou

This is a hidden gem, really good service, properly covid secure and top quality food at reasonable prices. You must try the pigs in blankets as they are to die for. It's going to be a loss that I discovered the village inn today and it has to close on Wednesday for the lockdown. Make sure that you come here before Wednesday is my advice!! 😁

Freshly cooked meals are superb and staff very helpful.

Wow umm where to begin: Con's: - Being asked to pay whilst eating even though half the establishment was empty & waitress never left table until paid. - Being told there was no hot water even though there was coffee on menu - The worst thing though was the appalling customer service shown by the landlady who made Basil Fawlty look like a saintly angel. Pro's: - Food was good!

Customer service poor. The attitude displayed by the manager shows she needs some refresher training. Displaying behaviour you ask your proprietors not to do is unacceptable Firstly we were not asked to do anything we were spoken to in a manner which would upset anyone. This was my FIRST time out since lockdown and had we been advised on arrival about how things were being done it would have been helpful, as opposed to being spoken to like we were children. Then for the manager to deal with this issue on your review page in this manner speaks volumes about her customer service. At NO POINT was I rude to either of you and resent the implication. I hope you were just having a bad day and that you don't make a habit of treating customers in this fashion.

I get the covid19 government guidelines but when the landlady of an establishment expects her customers to follow guidelines that she is not following herself its poor. False advertising of what could have been a really good day out for any and everyone who attended's mental health is not good! I've worked in customer service for over 20 yrs and would NEVER approach people the way she did!!!! And for her to condone her staffs ignorance when dealing with customers is unacceptable. To have a uniformed, affective approach will only be achieved by educating the owners of establishments like this.The food was sub standard too which just added to the poor experience. Will not be going back there.

Very safe to visit. Covid-19 prepared. Great use of space in the garden with heating. Friendly staff with great fresh drinks. Though a bit pricey.

Very polite staff had the Sunday roast beef delicious! Covid secure drinks reasonable priced.

Great service, staff really helpful

I have visited nearly a dozen pubs in the area, since they reopened, and found that the Village Inn is by far, the safest. In the pub, and out in the conservatory, all tables are separated not just by distance, but also with large plastic screens. They also have a large outdoor, under cover, seating area. It is table service only, and all the very friendly staff wore face coverings. The food is, I believe, mainly home cooked, so you may have to wait a little while, but it is worth the wait!!I would, and have, recommended this pub to family and friends, and I am sure they won't be disappointed.

Awesome staff, amazing food & a lovely pub all round

First visit for us and using the EOTHO scheme. Friendly welcome and good covid protocols in place. Limited menu but a good variety of pub classics including some vegan/veggie options. Food was tasty and portions good. Nothing super amazing but good honest pub grub.

Excellent first time experience at this friendly clean pub with added COVID protection screens inside. The seating both inside and the newly refurbished outside areas are modern with plenty of space between tables.We were greeted on arrival by Toni, who smiled through out and did everything she could to provide an excellent customer service. As a bonus the pub is part of the "Eat out" scheme so it was also fantastic value. Thank you and I will be back.

Friendly clean pub. The staff have made it as safe as possible. We had an excellent lunch in the garden. Even better value as the ‘eat out to help out’ discount was applied. We will be back soon!

Great night out with a good friend. Unfortunately Tom put a stop to it. Next time can you please check with your guests before making a decision based on Toms thoughts? You know who this is from! No spelling mistakes, no grammatical errors - you would expect that from someone who has had far more than 1 glass of wine, not as many as Tom suggested! I didn’t even do anything wrong!

Great food in this lovely pub . Friendly staff and nice atmosphere . Sunday roast was a great size and great value .

A great proper pub worth a pint

A wonderful lively pub, always lots going on 👍👍

Great local friendly service and good Guinness
