The best restaurants in Remenham, Wargrave and Ruscombe Wokingham South East

We decided on an early impromptu Valentines dinner after a very busy week at work. Despite how early we were and not made a reservation, we were welcomed kindly and promptly found a table which was set up nicely for Valentines. We ordered the Chateaubriand which was really delicious and a great sharing option with plenty to go around, including some meat left over which we took home for the dog, which they kindly wrapped for us! Good value for money. Will was our waiter, and he was excellent, attentive and friendly. A thoroughly enjoyable meal on a night when you can often be ripped off due to its commercial status, thank you to G&D team, saved me cooking and my partner and I enjoyed a lovely evening.

We have not been here since it was Wyvales but thought we would try the afternoon tea. We pre booked and added the savoury plate in addition so it worked out at just under £16.50 each. I must say it was a disappointment. To start with the savoury plates were well worth the extra £2.95. The prawn vol-au-vents and sausage rolls were perfect but the cheese vol-au-vent was far too cheesey. As for the afternoon tea itself, the scones that we were served were nowhere near the size of the ones on display at the counter, so I am not sure if you get something different on the afternoon tea but they were much smaller, so we felt a bit conned. As you can see from the photos, the scones were no bigger than the small pot of clotted cream and even if you compare it to the photo of an earlier reviewer you can see the size difference. The sandwiches were okay but the cucumber ones were just plain cucumber and the salmon one was very strong. Despite their size, the scones were nice. Overall, I don't think its worth it to be honest. Whilst we were there we saw some really good looking portions of fish and chips so if we go back it's probably going to be that for us but by 13:00 was all sold out, so go early.

First time I have been here for some years, and was surprised to see it is now a Dobbies Garden Centre with a Waitrose inside. I confess to liking garden centres more for the home stuff than the garden gear, so I was disappointed as there was not really that much on offer. We contemplated having lunch here but the menu looked poor and there weren't many customers in the café section which was probably telling. Also noticed Ladd's Garden Centre is now shut so that is pretty disappointing.
