The Downgate - West Berkshire

Small but popular pub. there was a power cut that had reduced the menu, but somehow they produced an excellent frying dinner. freshly cooked, delicate, good value and tasty. I propose to book. many dogs were welcomed. it may look like that, but they are not obligatory! the yearly terrier of pubs called poppy visits every table discreet to release as food buttons.

A hidden gem next to the know channel near hungerford. a real British pub with great personal and warm welcome! we were a party of eight on a local weekend away and delighted a fast drink and light to midday. the menu has been varied, with local traditional foods and our meals were good, very efficient and especially served with a smile! nothing was too much annoyed, a very accommodating cook and great team spirit. very pleasant experience, would highly recommend! thank you.

The staff, chef, and overall organization of this welcoming restaurant speak volumes for themselves. With a dog-friendly environment, it's clear that they prioritize both the comfort of their guests and their furry companions. This establishment is a meeting point for locals and visitors from all over England, including the South, Midlands, West Midlands, and East Anglia.

We noticed this pub as we parked nearby before we went on the canal/common walk and decided that's where we would visit after our walk. We were not disappointed! We didn't really want a full meal as we were staying in a hotel which provided...full meals. Friendly staff provided tasty chips and good beer. Chatty local regulars in the pub made us feel welcome and most importantly this pub had CLEAN TOILETS!! If we visit the area again we will definitely try a proper meal.

What a lovely pub with lovely people. They found a lovely spot for us and our dog in a little nook. We were made to feel very welcome and the landlord conversation and banter made us feel like we were locals. Pubs often say they...are dog friendly but simply allow dogs. This is not the case for the downgate. Our pooch was made to feel just as welcome and the treats she got from the landlord has ensured she would go again! Food was fantastic and portions huge. We had both the pork and beef. Thank you for a lovely Sunday lunch.
