The best restaurants in West Berkshire South East

After driving to 2 garden centres north and then south of Newbury with a very poorly husband who has barely been out of the house for months we were looking forward to a pleasant lunch. However, we wete refused entry as DOGS NOT ALLOWED, even a small well behaved one. By this time as a worn out carer I was close to crying. So we drove to central Newbury, all very gruelling for someone seriously ill, poor hubbie had a long very difficult walk to a restaurant that served us lunc & allowed our dog.. Then to Rufus for an excellent coffee, quality cakes & a cosy atmosphere, with our dog. Every time we have been here we have never been disappointed, (except slightly that the superb baked cheesecake is never on sale!) Thank you for cheering us up and making our pooch welcome. This is the best coffee shop in Newbury by far, most others sell over processed, tasteless mass produced cakes, which look like they've been frozen & defrosted.

Best flat white ever, excellent cappuccino too. The oat cookie was delicious too. Take away but little courtyard cafe tables looked nice.

Fabulous food and friendly service Sad to hear it was closing. Would highly recommend the house slaw and toasted sticky fig and bacon sandwich.

We stayed over in Reading from London and happy to say the food and service was exemplary. Portions were amazing and Manager was profession (even though they were short staffed). By far the best harvester I been to and highly recommend going. A very happy (returning) customer

Este fue probablemente el mejor restaurante de comida de domingo que hemos tenido durante años. La bienvenida fue cálida y genuina, el entorno, con vistas a la calle 1 y la 18 tee th green era precioso y la comida era especial. Una mesa enorme de servirte entrantes (gambas, salmón, salmón ahumado, patés, ensaladas) y luego un asador con asados perfectamente cocinado y una amplia selección de verduras. No podía soportar un dulce! El precio de la comida era sensata, puede elegir tener dos o tres campos con diferentes precios. El vino era demasiado caro. Totalmente recomendado, pero nos dijeron que el chef estaba dejando así que antes de ir que el almuerzo de los domingos es todavía el mismo estilo.

The best bacon roll and coffee ever 😋 the nicest staff ever we dont like leaving never had a bad coffee here thanks to the great people who work hard here🤌

5 of us came to celebrate a friends special birthday,the meal was superb and the service was so good ,we thoroughly enjoyed our food ,each course was delicious, really recommend,thanks to the hard working students ,the lady supervisor was also very good

Brilliant service. I ordered a home delivery, there were a couple of items missing and I got in touch with them to ask about this. I had a phone call apologising and sorting a redelivering all within half an hour, the redelivery came later that day. Quality is really good, but I was even more impressed with their service 👌

We came in today and were served by Tom and Ben and everything was excellent! Delicious food, friendly and quick service. Friendly staff too. We will be back!

Amazing little cafe! Visited after seeing on social media; gorgeous little set up with lovely welcoming friendly staff. Our food was cooked to perfection and was lovely! Even bought two pies to take away for dinner this evening as they looked too good to leave Definitely will return

Tucked away in a retirement complex is this super little place offering a variety of delicious food, all home made, at ridiculously reasonable prices, prepared and served by a lovely couple. Find it and give it a try.

I stopped at Greggs Moto Reading west after a long journey and I was so impressed with the service from Sam - what a legend, totally made my day!

Excellent little cafe with great food and service. Good value for money. Nothing is too much trouble with great choices.

I’ve been around the block a bit and I’ve had a few bacon rolls in my time, but these are ultimately the best bacon rolls (x2) I have ever had, with plenty of properly cooked and crispy bacon served on toasted rolls. Great cafe environment too.

We decided to have a pre-cinema drink and we’re pleased that they had exactly what we wanted. A great place for theatre or cinema.
