The Queens Arms - West Berkshire

A fun day out with friends at a restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and provided great service. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food and drinks were also great. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time at this charming pub. The food was fantastic, the prices were reasonable, and the service provided by the friendly staff, especially Kasey, was outstanding. We will definitely be coming back.

We joined the horse-racing crowd on a chilly January evening for our second visit to the Queen's Arms for a cozy Gastro-Pub dinner. The food was once again delicious and arrived promptly. The service from the young, enthusiastic, and well-dressed staff was professional and accommodating. We look forward to returning soon.

We chose The Queens Arms as a central venue for family travelling from different parts of the country, so weren't familiar with the location or the pub, but we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, without being over the top, and nothing was too much trouble. The decor is cosy and elegant, and we had the Garden room to ourselves as a party of 13. The food was superb, a good variety and a really nice balance of great flavours without being too fancy perfect to cater for a family group with a broad range of tastes! Would love to visit again in the summer as the countryside is stunning, and maybe for an overnight stay.

We stayed here for a couple of days in October. The rooms are in what I presume are converted stables, to the side of the pub, with a nice view overlooking a paddock at the back. All are named after famous race horses. Our room was comfortable with a double bed, tea/coffee making facilities, a clean, white bathroom and adjustable heating via the radiators...Great as it was cold during our stay. The only annoying thing was trying to get the TV to work with the Sky box attached...instructions are in the room but it seemed a little hit and miss to get it to work. We had breakfast included which was OK. Very basic buffet of potted yoghurt, juice, croissants which were not replaced when all used up) etc, together with the usual cooked options. Service was friendly but very slow, even when there were just a few guests. We had an evening meal on one of the nights. The food was very tasty, with a nice vegetarian curry available for myself but service was painfully slow. It was super busy in the pub that evening because of some sports match on TV and it was also very loud in there. Clearly there were lots of locals who had come in to enjoy the match and the atmosphere. We planned to go walking on the Ridgeway during our stay and asked the bar staff for suggestions of other places to visit and where to park etc... Although friendly and wanting to help, the staff said they were not local and were not able to give us any pointers on places to visit etc...maybe a suggestion to have some local leaflets available or have some printed walking routes for guests? I love traditional old pubs but I found the dining room to be a little tired and grubby. It was a nice break away for a couple of days but nothing particularly special. I would recommend this place for a dinner but I personally wouldn 't return for a short break unless attending an event in that area as I 'd rather try somewhere different next time.
