The best restaurants in West Berkshire South East

We had lunch with friends and The Fox was the perfect venue for a catch up. It was our first visit and the food was the best we had eaten in a long time. I had one of their handmade pies and my wife had the sea bass, both were delicious.

My partner and I wound up stopping by for lunch on a whim because we were in the area. We wound up ordering the tinga chicken and also the beef brisket burritos on the lunch special. The food is *very* fresh, and has great flavours with a very satisfying portion size. We also chatted with the owner a bit, it's very clear that he cares about what he's serving here, and is quite friendly. I would recommend if you're into Mexican / Tex-Mex, or even just curious to try it- and depending on other circumstances I may become a regular here.

Incredible Sunday lunch and great service. Friendly staff, dog friendly, great food, happy to accommodate dietary requirement.

What a gem ! Great reviews on here so visited twice on a mini break . Ladies who run it are lovely and super friendly . Food cooked to perfection and at a very competitive price . Highly Reccomended !

A real old pub decor the same as it's been for years , great ales ,lovely warm filled rolls and good conversation What more do you want?

A Well cooked meal, hot and well presented. The Ibex is situated in Chaddleworth, a pretty village in West Berkshire, about 7 miles North of Newbury. A good chef.

We had such a special lunch at Damson and couldn't recommend it more highly. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and the food was delicious from start to finish. We had a vegan among us and the team prepared a bespoke menu for her in advance, which she absolutely loved. Damson is such good value for money and would be great for lunch or dinner - in a couple, or a group. The menu changes frequently and we can't wait to go back!! Such a gem.

Absolutely amazing food and service very authentic and amazingly fresh tasting food will definitely be visiting again very soon

Lovely cooked breakfast, great that you can select exactly which items you want as I personally hate beans and hash browns on a breakfast, so could easily avoid those and have extra mushrooms and tomatoes! Service was efficient, the breakfast was freshly cooked to order. It wasn’t overly greasy and was piping hot. Very much enjoyed. Giving 4 stars only because the cutlery is absolutely terrible to use! Knife blunt and uncomfortable to hold (jabs into hands), and as the bacon was slightly overdone (I don’t mind, I prefer it this way that the other) the knife was useless for cutting through it which was a tad annoying. This said, if passing through Lambourn again would absolutely return. Many thanks.

I go here regularly. Small friendly little cafe in the village shop. Sometimes buy as popular with hikers and cyclists in the area as well as being used by us locals. Fantastic for a brief cuppa, with excellent barrista coffees and pots of tea with an excellent range of made locally or in house cakes, sausage rolls, pasties etc. Some rather fantastic 'salad' options [coleslaw] made freshly to accompany the above and there's always a good 'soup of the day', again made freshly. Wonderful people watching either indoors or out and really friendly volunteers running this community owned cafe. Highly recommended.

Heard so many goid things about this place and was really looking forward to a meal here with my sister. Very disappointing. Yoghurt bombs to start were amazing but mini poppadoms I think came from a packet. I had chicken murgh and my sister had a king prawn curry. Both very bland - tasted the same but different colours. Service very good but very disappointed with food. Not sure if we chose the wrong things or if it was just a bad night.

A refreshing new restaurant. Amazing food and decor. Staff friendly. We would definitely go again to try out the other dishes. An enjoyable lunch on a very hot day in air condition. Perfect 🤩

Beth has made many lovely treats for us, and they’re amazing every time. She’s so talented when it comes to both the taste of the items and the design. Thank you so much!

Delicious toasties, amazing cake! Such a great little gem to have in the village, such a treat to come here but is rather on the expensive side.

Superbe diner dans un restaurant rénové avec gout. Nous n'avions pas bien compris l'étoile Michelin de l'ancien Blackbird mais sommes très étonné de l'absence d'un 1ère étoile si nous regardons de près le menu "hommage" dégusté hier soir. Tout est parfait, des ingrédients de base de haute qualité et une cuisine élaborée parfaite. Des assemblages de saveurs très justes comme l'ananas Victoria avec le jambon de Bayonne assaisonné d'une vinaigrette dosée à la perfection. Que dire du canard laqué maison et du dessert à la rhubarbe confite . En un seul mot tout est parfait. Surtout ne changez rien. L'erreur des inspecteurs Michelin sera vite réparée.
