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

Gotta do better with the value of a BLACK dollar!

Christmas Lunch - table of 4 adults and 2 children Food was good but service was not so good. The soup was served in a tiny bowl and I felt the bowl should have been sat on a plate. The prawn cocktail was served in a small tumbler which made it difficult to take out, fortunately the pitta and dip plate was still on the table so we tipped the prawn cocktail out onto it to enable to eat it. We waited an hour between first course and main course which was exacerbated by the fact that the table next to us, that came in after us, had theirs quite a bit before us. There was only five desserts served and we were told that there was only 5 on her list - we couldn’t get back on the app to check as it wasn’t available to see any more - and we had paid for 6 complete dinners and we were not offered anything in its place - ice cream would have sufficed! We then ordered a pint of lager and a gin and tonic with two different people and the drinks didn’t arrive so instead we asked for the drinks bill which came very quickly !!!!!!

Visited here for a quick drink, barman was uninterested and extremely unfriendly, lots of loud locals that made fun of customers behind their back which were heard. Felt so uncomfortable here and couldn't wait to leave which has never happened to us in many years. Thank god we didn't stay for a meal. Suggest you avoid at all costs.

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 🙁

I grew up in Chieveley and was back visiting my parents with my partner on 5th Nov. Hearing that the garden centre had had a new extension we thought we’d drop in. My partner said he fancied something savoury so we dropped in at the restaurant in the older part of the garden centre. We ordered and got sat down, I then went off to use the loo and found another lady in there wondering around and she said there was no loo roll in any of the cubicles. She had managed to get some from the disabled loo and shared it with me. I then told one of the members of staff with a trolley that there was no loo roll and she said she wasn’t sure if it was ‘their’ responsibility. And walked off to check. She then came back to our table to tell me that as she thought ‘they’ don’t have access which I assume she meant rosemary and thyme - at this point our hot roof had arrived - she then told me how they don’t have a key for the cupboard and can’t get to the loo rolls and that I would have to go and tell the staff in the new section as it’s their responsibility…. That would have meant me leaving my coffee and hot food - going out in the rain walking across the carpark through the new bit to find someone to tell….And I thought ok maybe you don’t have a key but how ridiculous to expect a paying customer who just sat down with hot food to go and tell another member it staff?!!! The lady should have just gone over and told the other section when I first told her. Also being a morning and for there to be no loo roll in what looked like 4+ cubicles and not checked before opening for business that day when you’re serving food and drink is just not on. Cost of living makes you really question where you spend on food and drink / treats. It’s just so disappointing.
