The best restaurants in Downlands West Berkshire South East

Nice food, simple menu and great pies. Glad we arrived early as the pub is very popular. Would have preferred to book online, however my phone message was promptly returned.

What a fabulous find this place is. Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and the food is exceptional. And I really do mean exceptional. The pies are actually made on premises and are packed to the brim with meat. None of your puff pastry lids floating on a sea of gravy here. The chateaubriand, cooked to perfection, was the best I've had anywhere. The vegetables were delicious. Stayed in the Desert Orchid room which has a large, very comfortable bed. The pictures tell you everything you need.(Recommended). We'll be coming back again soon, for sure.

Very good well cooked and hot food,will go again,we were part of Sadie barnetts group,happy Xmas.regards ron fuller.👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻😼😼😼😼😼😼😼😼

Lovely menu, delicious food, very friendly and welcoming staff

Very good food & service but prices for glasses of wine are excessive @£10 for 250l. No wine list offered or price cited. A mistake - beware.

We enjoyed the Thai Green Curry and the Sausages, Mash with Red Cabbage - the gravy was deliciously rich. Nice beer helped the food go down easily. Nice venue with a log fire warming the spacious room.

We had a wonderful lunch on their tapas menu - full of flavour. This pub has opened only recently and offers something different from the normal pub grub.

What a wonderful pub, great food, beers and staff. So friendly and welcoming. Could not do more for us. And even put the rugby six nations on. Some guests were vegan and the menu choice was fab. Vegan roasts were delicious and the sundae was genius. Can not recommend enough. We were a party of 9 and every person enjoyed muchly!
