"Couples visit for a birthday on a quiet Wednesday evening. Was hoping for a great meal as it 's the first time we 've managed to get out since having a baby 3 weeks ago and organising childcare etc is always tough. 10mins after ordering we were told the starter that was labelled 'Gluten Free ' isn 't actually gluten free and was mislabelled on the menu so my partner had to change her order which of course is disappointment. Concerning as this was only caught as our waitress double checked with the chef. I had ordered bread and olives for starter however only the the bread was brought out until the manager noticed I was missing the olives, oil, vinegar and side plates. They had also brought my 'half starter ' out without my partner having anything brought out. The mains were prompt and tasty albeit very expensive for the steak. The wait staff were uncommunicative and apart from the manager seemed oblivious to our issues. Disappointed that nothing was taken off the bill and there was even the default 10% service charge added! Not one to kick up a fuss but won 't be returning."

"I’ve grown up in the area and we’ve explored and eaten at the best Berkshire and surrounding has to offer. We’ve never left a Sunday lunch so happy. Party of 3 plus 1 giant dog. Where to start? An extremely dog friendly pub who went above and beyond to welcome and accommodate. The food? Exceptional. Brilliant starters, mains and dessert. Great wine recommendation. Lobster is a risky choice if unfamiliar with the restaurant .. but I risked it .. and can safely say it was cooked as well as any I’ve had at a top seafood joint; fresh (as promised and like butter. The others thoroughly enjoyed their roast beef. Not a clean plate. The landlady/manager who is clearly just born to do the job is all round brilliant. My highlight? The dog. She didn’t bat an eyelid when I asked for some chicken and beef; she brought roast beef and a sliced chicken breast beautifully presented on a plate (I tried the chicken convinced something must be **** somewhere but no .. chicken breast like the lobster soft as butter . Landlady then reappeared with dog ice cream. Honestly Bladebone whatever it is you’re doing keep doing it! We couldn’t fault a single thing (we’ll be back to try!! ."

"Do not recommend to anyone with allergies. The menu only had allergies listed for some items. Some letters did not correspond to the allergen. On speaking to staff, items with GF were supposed to be Gluten Free, but the chef could not guarantee it was GF as they did not keep any packaging for the food and couldn't refer to the ingredients. All also cooked on one grill so would be cross contamination. Lady behind the bar with blue blouse on was as miserable as they come and only said two words during the whole order. Such a shame as the pub has a lovely setting, great atmosphere and great potential."

"I visited this restaurant to catch up with a friend, marking my first trip here in quite a while. The venue offers plenty of parking and features a spacious outdoor area that is perfect for warm days. While there isn’t a large grassy space for kids or dogs, I don’t think that should impact the overall rating. The outdoor seating is well-maintained and notably different from typical pub benches, which is a refreshing change. The outdoor area is kept tidy and relatively quiet, being set back from the road, making it easy to have a conversation. Inside, the decor is modern and the space is clean. The bar service was excellent; it wasn’t particularly crowded during my visit, so the staff were prompt and engaging with the regular patrons. As for parking, there’s convenient access off the main road at the back of the pub."

"I don't know who the woman is behind the bar who thinks she can talk to customers like s**t but it needs to stop. I walked in a week ago to have a drink with my dog. It had been raining on the way from the car park to the bar. She spoke to me like dirt and said I hope thats not a damp dog in my bar. Who on earth does she think she is. I then overheard her speak to others at the bar with disrespect. No wonder this place is always dead. If you have any sense go to the pub down the road and put this woman out of a job."
