Three of us ate there last night....menu states pub stops serving food at 9PM - fair do's - got our order in at ten to - shouldn't have bothered! Rude disinterested barman - telling us we were too late nevertheless he did take the order - grudgingly! Food arrived - all we can say was rushed/tasteless - actually quite vile! You live and learn - wouldn't visit again! Such a shame as the actual pub is great - minus the unfriendly staff and unedible food!!

Having been to the pub twice, there will never be a third time!!
The beer is mediocre, BUT the food has been disgusting on both occasions!
As we taken there by elderly relatives as a "treat" on both occasions,so I did not complain, also any estabilsment that is prepared to serve food this bad, isn't worth complaing to !
We were a group of six, and all chose different items from the menu.
So this wasn't a case of one particular item being bad.

Live jazz on sundays (which is great if you're a jazz fan - I'm not. Nice pub though but the service can be very slow.

Ate here today. disgusting, greasy and cold. Asked to speak to chef spoke to some dirty lump with attitude. Beer was rubbish too

I was in Newbury for work and I came across this pub by chance. Seemingly recently-decorated, the pub was relatively busy for mid-afternoon and the unseasonably warm and sunny weather meant that I was able to sit out by the river enjoying a well-kept pint of “Gales” i.e. Fuller’s Swing Low. But £4.05 for a session-strength ale and a packet of crisps - is this the dearest pub in Newbury? I blanched at the cost which rather took the edge off my visit. In mitigation, the pub had no piped music when I was there, always a good thing in my opinion.

Great music and entertainment from the Bullfrog band. Hope to see them again at a later date at this venue. What a great evening. Excellent beer too.

what's the crack with removing the negative comments??? This pub was utter shite when I visited last summer and the review I left was 100% truthful-plates and glasses were absolutely everywhere.
As i posted in December, it has improved massively (probably due to change of landlord) and service and food are now pretty good.
Still expensive though, but I suppose you can't have everything!

Had a lovely roast beef today, highly recommended. The London Pride was terrific too.

I was in here on Saturday night, despite summer's rubbish experience. It is much improved and was very busy. Staff seemed a lot better as well
No idea if the food has improved though!

Don't see what the negative comments are for. I was in there last week, the food was fantastic and the beer is easily the best in Newbury. Toilets could do with a lick of paint though.
