The best restaurants serving British food in Chieveley West Berkshire South East

Very hard to find a place to park, couldn't find an escaltor, only stairs, near where I came in. Very crowded. I'm a senior and will not be going back.

Unfortunately our meal was not what we hoped. We came after a good recommendation about Sunday roasts. We booked a Saturday evening to celebrate a 21st birthday. We were bit tucked away but not out of sight but definitely feel forgotten about. The taps menus sounded great and we ordered from these for starters, one item was forgotten, though after being reminded it was brought out to the table. To be fair this was pretty nice other than the calamari was a bit of cardboard and the bravas potatoes were underwhelming. The mains were unfortunately the biggest let down, vegetarian burger was overcooked and very dry, the seasonal veg with the pie was just cabbage, the haddock, though portion wise was fantastic, just didn’t taste like haddock at all. We had to ask for a drink 3 times before we got it being, had to ask for cutlery for starters and mains as not enough on the table, the table was only partially cleared before our mains arrived and we were never offered any deserts or coffees. It’s a lovely venue and I’m sure in the summers is lovely outside but unfortunately outside of coming in for a drink we wouldn’t eat here again. The main meals are priced fairly but feel the tapas is over priced.

Lovely local pub, great food and plenty of room to eat, surprisingly bigger than it looks! Nice atmosphere, Plenty of locals but still friendly and welcoming. I ate alone and did not feel out of place

I haven’t drunk my coffee as I saw the assistant blown and wipe his nose and then pick up cups and saucers without washing or antibacterial hand gel use. Ugg 🙁

Four of us booked afternoon tea at the Restaurant at Hlliers Hermitage a week before we wanted to attend. On Saturday 1st February 2025 we arrived at the restaurant to book in. Firstly there was problem using the two £40 vouchers we had. When this was finally sorted out we were asked had we booked and we said yes for 3 savoury afternoon teas ad 1 sweet afternoon tea. We were old our tea would be brought to the table. This was done but two of the party wated coffee and they said they would do this. We waited quite a while when eventually a platter arrived for 3 sweet teas and told 1 more was to come. We said we had ordered 3 savoury teas. The guy took the tray away but then brought the afternoon tea for one to the table. I noticed there was no sausage roll on the tea and was told there was none. I asked to see the manager (who was the chef) he came eventually and said there was none. We said where was the 3 savoury teas. This came but was the same plattter which we had been offered first but with some filled lettuce leaves on it. Then another waitress arrived and plonked a plate of chopped up sausage roll and two bowls of crisps on the table. We still had no plates. Then another waitress came with plates and said we had been booked in for the next day, Sunday. I said this was ot so and so looking at the tea which cost £80 whic looked awful I asked for the Manager again and whe he arrived I asked for our money back. The samwhiches were just hard boiled egg on white bread and ham and cheese. They had obviously forgotte out booking and every thing was done in a rush. We were eventually given two credit notes and we got up and left the tea on the table. The staff were not very friendly and huffed and puffed about the situation. Apart from our money back we feel we should have had more compensation. We will not be returning.
