The best restaurants serving British food in West Berkshire South East

Llevo casi 28 años yendo a The Bell. Piensa en lo que ha pasado durante ese tiempo. Y sin embargo todo ha seguido igual que siempre : acogedor, social, personal encantador, gran cerveza y rollos. cómodo y relajante. Atemporal. Ningún lugar así en el mundo.

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.

Stunning location. Beautiful tables with linen tablecloths etc. We had the nicest roast dinner with crunchy roast potatoes. The meat and vegetables were cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble

Hiya juliette , Hayley , Bego & norma Just wanted to say how gutted I am to find out you've recently closed, I turned up today excited for my usual breakfast & latte & a catch up with you both!! I'd like to say thank you for the welcome you gave me for the 3 years I worked in Newbury , Hope your all keeping well Paul x

From the time we arrived till we left what an amazing restaurant and the friendliest staff ever. We were greeted by the manager and head chef. We had driven from Brighton to eat here and it certainly was worth it. The food is just beautiful and the tasting menu was explained to us every step of the way. From the beginning to the end it was just perfect. We were even given some cookies when we left for our journey home the following day. Henry and his team are just so kind polite and friendly. We had a wonderful evening and definitely will return. Thank you Damson. Xxxx

We tried seven different things and could not decide which was the nicest, they were all so good. Can’t think of a better way to spend a rainy Tuesday.

A very pleasant setting, providing good food and with efficient and welcoming staff. Well worth the effort of driving to.

Absolutely fantastic pub set in such a beautiful location. We reserved a table but when we got there the outside seating area looked lovely with everyone sat in the sun. The staff were more than happy for us to move outside and we are glad we did. The food was outstanding! It's the best meal we have had in a long time. We are food snobs! We started with the Korean chicken starter, which was delicious. Spicy and tender. The roast was just amazing. The meat was tender, roast potatoes crispy, gravy silky and tasty and a not too crispy Yorkshire pudding. The veg they served for 3 people was a fantastic portion. We were all absolutely stuffed. My husband had the chicken burger and said it was out of this world! We will definitely be coming back when we are in the area next. Also super dog friendly and there was plenty of space for our dog to chill out

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.

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

Went for earrings found some but not exactly what I wanted.

Nuestro lugar local, al lado del río. Saltó unas cuantas veces antes o después de caminar. Menú simple pero lo suficientemente bueno. Personal amable y precios razonables. Muy recomendable.

Absolutely lovely place. Friendly and good food

Booked a table early Friday evening before going on to a meeting. Very friendly staff and really good choice on the menu and specials board. Both of us chose from the specials board and were not disappointed. Both our meals were very tasty and fresh. I felt a bit guilty as I could not quite finish all of mine, and hoped the chef didn't take it as an insult, but I really was full from such a generous helping. Would highly recommend.

Four of us arrived really late on Sunday afternoon at about 3.30 pm very hungry having been let down at Blandys in Inglewood. We were told we could still have "lunch" however if we ordered quickly, which we did. The food was excellent, hot and well cooked particularly the two steaks which were large and juicy. The waiting staff were friendly, obliging and efficient even though they were rushed off their feet. The downstairs area was cosy and welcoming with a lovely log burner which was not allowed to go out! All in all we had a lovely relaxing time and enjoyed our meal in such convivial surroundings very much so thank you.
