The best restaurants serving British food in West Berkshire South East

Eleven of us for a post New Year get together Quiet area allocated food was very good and catered for 10 to 75 years of age. I would recommend

This is by far my favourite café in Newbury. I had the most delicious chick pea & coconut soup with potato wedges and an excellent cappuccino. Service with a smile, as always

Uno de nuestros pubs favoritos, viajamos con frecuencia 45 minutos para venir aquí a caminar y rodar! Probablemente el pub inglés más clásico que te hayas encontrado, con un ambiente tan comunitario y muchas peculiaridades que se suman al ambiente. Nos encantan los rollitos (que es todo lo que se sirve) , que siempre están muy frescos y a menudo se sirven calientes. Espera un rollo muy lleno (sobre todo si pides el cheddar! ) , y a mi pareja le encanta especialmente el jamón! El jardín del pub es genial!

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.

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.

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.

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

Quite a disappointing experience. No Christmas theme on our table, no Christmas decorations like the other tables had, simply because we weren't having the Christmas menu. It was our Christmas party but it just felt like a normal night. Disappointing that two of the shoulders of meat weren't on the menu, the starter shoulder of lamb was a favourite amongst us. Annoying when there are glasses on the table but no water offered. No wine list was offered either. It felt like we were a hindrance to them. We've enjoyed 50th birthdays there and other special events but on this occasion we felt alienated because we didn't select the Christmas menu and we feel very let down for our Christmas party. We spent in the region of £385-£400 including tip between 7 of us, but came away underwhelmed and deflated. Sad to say, this will not be a special place that we will come to again. There are others to choose from.

Gotta do better with the value of a BLACK dollar!

Following an earlier disappoint a few years ago, and hearing good things about the Woodspeen again, we decided to try the four course Xmas lunch and again, walked away very disappointed. For our first course, we both had the Lobster Ravioli and whereas it was very nice and flavoursome, it didn't "wow" us. For the second course, we had two different dishes, I had the Duck liver and breast terrine, and my wife had the beetroot terrine. The Beetroot terrine felt it was just chunks of beetroot squashed in a mould and cut to shape. My Duck Terrine had pieces of inedible sinew that was rather dull in flavour and neither at all pleasing to the eye or flavoursome. The main course was the major disappointment. The Turkey was OK although erring on the dry side, but the veg was too hard, even if it was passed off as al dente it was still too hard to eat. The deserts were splendid and the reason my review gets two stars instead of one. Both were very flavoursome, and well presented. I did mention to the manager that the veg was too hard to eat who apologised and took the drinks off the final bill. But this review, as was my last, was not about the money, it's about expectation. You go to an establishment like this with pre-set levels of flavour, fantastic service, and quality of food that is classed as fine dining or as close to fine dining as you can get. Sadly, our xmas day four course menu fell far short of expectations, and, as a side note, the men's toilets are a disgrace. Not fine dining, not a michelin star quality establishment, very overpriced and we won't be returning sadly.

This place is awesome. Service is great, food of great taste and quality, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Highly recommended 👌

From the warm welcome, the food and the service. What a wonderful delicious little cafe. You well definitely be seeing us again. Thank you ❤️

Fantastic wedding venue! Staff are very welcoming and the food absolutely amazing. The venue itself is really stunning with a nice outdoor area along the canal.

Never been here before but liked the idea of the pies. Absolutely blown away, outstanding. The good old boy was lovely. Shame I hadn’t visited before. Will be back. Well done.
