William Twigg Old Lady Bracknell Have these people opened the doors.
As a female well into her 60's ,I can't recognise the pub I know and frequent,I assume the people giving it bad press,were either trying to cause trouble;or have just listened to out dated rumours. By the way as well as being well over 60,I am a non-drinker and the staff happily make me coffee!

The Oak & Saw Village Inn Mark Sibthorp Taplow Fantastic Sunday Lunch
Looked this place up to find a place to eat after visiting Cliveden House. What a great choice! One of the best Sunday Roasts I have had. Perfect end to a fantastic weekend. I wish it was my local, I would definitely be there more often.

Merry Wives Of Windsor Brian Frewin. Windsor !958/59/60.
In 1958/59/60 the landlord was Tom Jones (not the singer} and his wife Kath. I worked there part time. Saturday and Sunday evenings there was a sing-along with Vi on the piano. Then it was a Friery Meux tenanted pub. The sign by the toilets said yer tis.

Black Horse SFH Windsor Great Local
Great Local but can be very quiet during the afternoons. Lunchtime food is excellent with very good selection of mains and snacks. The evenings tend to get busier. If you like sport there are three TV's, showing all live sports with a (regrettably) preponderance of football but others ARE shown. Give it a try.

William Twigg Local resident. Bracknell Great Pub.
Fantastic, family run pub. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. After visiting only a couple of times, I was made to feel like family despite being a stranger. I'm a woman and I feel safe at The William Twigg. They put on a lot of charity events involving the local community and raise a lot of money. This in hand, proves what a lovely bunch of people they are. The Twigg have lots of live music and had a twelve week long 'Battle of the Bands' which was awesome! They hold quiz nights and coffee mornings occasionally, so there is something to suit everyone. The William Twigg is also home to the BPAL and has impeccable pool tables. The people that give it negative reviews have obviously not spent any longer than an hour in there and perhaps they came with a cagey attitude which puts others on edge and makes them in turn, unapproachable. You get back what you put in. It's 10/10 from me.

We have visited this pub several times over the past for months - from a drink on a summers evening, to a romantic dinner for two, to my birthday party! We have never been disappointed. The food is excellent (and I mean REALLY excellent!), the staff are so friendly and helpful, there is a lovely atmosphere, and the drinks are great. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Cock Inn Jon Kadansky Newbury
In answer to the customers who have made some of the comments below. To a customer, I am suprised you visit a pub several times without bringing your complaints to the manager's notice. Sandwiches are only provided if requested and paid for by the customer. Martin. I think you have got us confused with another pub. We serve Good food, Have Nice staff and also No problem with the beer so our customers tell us. With regards to Mrs Janet Wood's Comments. We do not tolerate abuse off anyone of any age to any member of staff this is why you were asked to leave for a SECOND time. We do not remember serving you with food at any time.

We have been going to the Cock Inn once a week for the last 6 months or so. Before we start our Pub Pentathlon of games, a few of us enjoy a meal. The half pound bacon cheese burger is highly recommended as is the Chili con carne. There is always a warm & friendly atmosphere whether there's football on the TV or music on the Jukebox. It's a perfect Local pub.

Cock Inn A Customer Newbury Clicky pub, short on a welcome
Over the last few weeks I have visited the pub several times, initially putting bad experiences down to bad luck - but no, this pub has really gone downhil. The website promises a really good pub - the reality falls short; poorly kept beer - sub standard food - landlord and landlady really not as friendly as advertised. e.g. I put several pound in the juke box and then the TV was turned on and the juke box turned down, without even a 'sorry'. Sandwiches are out on the bar some evenings - but clearly for locals only. Whatever style of pub you are looking for ther are better close by.

Starting Gate Jon Newbury
Fantastic friendly pub - (never judge a book by its cover) Always a warm welcoming atmosphere. Plenty of large flat screen tv's and Sky+ to watch all sports. Excellent live music every weekend. Poker every Thursday and Karaoke 1st Friday of every month which is amazing!! The food is excellent here - all freshly prepared and homecooked - and there recent development of there Burger Board is amazing - trying to work through it myself!!! Yummy! Nice clean pints and plenty of choice. Wicked drink promo's which make it even easier on the wallet!! Try this pub out its awesome - Great for a quite drink and bite to eat during the day - and a real laugh and great atmosphere at weekends.

Crown Inn At Bray Melanie Maidenhead Not nearly so good now ...
I used to go to The Crown before it was taken over by Heston - it was fantastic with superb food, just perfect for lunch with loads of atmosphere and great beer. Now, sadly, it has a limited and uninspiring menu which doesn't cater for lunchtimers. It has undergone a refurb which has ripped the character out of it. I ended up having a tuna sandwich expecting something amazing. I got a tuna sandwich which was less tasty than one from Spar on bread so thick I could bearly eat it. All the cosy pub bits and pieces have gone and the staff are largely untrained. It is a great pub no more.

Crooked Billet Tom west Wokingham Changed owners
Just to let everybody the grumpy old landlord has left the crooked billet Wokingham to be replaced by a relaxed new owner. And his efficient team of staff will not let you down. A brilliant new atmosphere!! A new menu which consists of homemade burgers and pies or whether you fancy slightly better food we offer evening specials like Cajun salmon fillet with an aribiatta sauce or a tantalising fillet rosini this is the place for you please if you have an evening of spare time please don't overlook this pub by the previous damage that has been caused. Everywhere deserves a second chance!

Crown Inn At Bray buckspiccy Maidenhead not what it was!
We were looking forward to having a family lunch to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary,having been several times in the past. The lasagne was,on our last visit, to-die-for, and other dishes just as good. However, despite the website yesterday 29th july,showing the same super menu, we were very disappointed to find the whole place had gone 'up-market' and was no longer the place we remembered. The staff were very nice, but the food, while very good,was not the expected excellent pub food. Now, it is trying to be a posh eaterie in a 14th century pub, and it does not work.

Went today for Lunch, God Awful is all I can say. Unwelcoming staff that hung around like an unpleasent smell constantly topping up your drink!! Menu very limited and poor chice - I don't want three courses I want a nice selection of single courses!!! Service dreadful - incorrect food, badly cooked, took 40 minutes and we were the first in - forgot parts of order and a manager who's only comment is You'r entitled to your opinion. I loved this place but I've already emailed my colleagues to tell them not to take customers there. Disappoiniting more atmosphere and welcome at a Weatherspoons.

William Twigg Anonymous Bracknell Grow up..
I actually work behind the bar at the Twigg and LOVE IT. Up until a year ago I probably would not have stepped foot in there due to the rough reputation... I ended up in there one night with a few friends and we were made to feel very welcome by Micky (Big Boss) and his family. I can honestly say that I have never seen a fight or anything kick off in there and the customers will give you a bit of banter - but it's all harmless fun. I think people should give it a go.. if you don't like it, fine! But don't slag it off until you have given it a chance.

Crooked Billet Paul Wokingham I got BURNED!!!
Went here with my Mum and Uncle several months ago for lunch. I ordered Lasagne for £7 thinking it would be good at that price. Imagine my disappointment when a small starter size portion turned up with one slice of garlic bread and a sprig or parsley. No salad garnish no chips to make it look bigger, nothing. I was left to scrounge chips off my mother who had ordered fish and chips. I have decided never to go back to this pub or if I do then I wont be ordering Lasagne. This used to be one of the best pubs in the area sadly since the management changed and it was done up the place has lost its atmosphere and good food.

Blackbird Inn Robin Newbury Definitely one to avoid!
Having visited this pub 12 times over the past 5 years I am appalled at how it has been run into the ground over the past 18 months. They boast that the food is Home Cooked - Reheated Yes Home Made - Definitely NO. My Wife had the Beef Sunday Lunch that was tougher than my leather belt, My 3yr old had Chicken Nuggets that were dreadful! My Lasagne was oily, burnt and had an awful aftertaste. Surely you say the Beer must have been better but I'm afraid it was only as good as the food. The Cola was flat and the juices poor quality. I will not be going back ever again as I'm not sure they know how to run a pub or kitchen. There are much better pubs in Newbury but not many worse.

Blackbird Inn Stephen Waites Newbury Appalling!
We stopped in here last week but not for long. The carpet was sticky, the tables were much the same and the beer was like a rough effort of a home brew. Staff seemed like they had never been in a pub before, let alone worked in one. Yuk!

Dolphin Tavern Leni Eves Slough Please help....
I think my grandmother played the piano at your pub in the 1920's. Her name was Jessie Townsend and her partner was Charles Shepherd. I know it's a long shot, but do you have any info and/or pictures of these days? My mother is 83 now and never knew Jessie (her mother). I would love to be able to show her something.

Two Brewers Mike Spellman Windsor Surprisingly good
Well tucked-away, the 2B's is on par with the very best of London backstreet pubs. Great beers and wines, and a super menu at sensible prices (if you can get a table). Well worth a visit.

I forgot to mention their informative website with menus and a map! www.roseandcrownascot.com. The proprieters are father and son, Peter and David Hancock. The son is an excellent chef. We can't wait to go back. We suggest you book a table but you can just walk in.

Rose & Crown Martin Spence Windsor Beautiful food yet again
A wonderful experience. Fridays a Saturdays have some wonderful special dishes in the table clothed restaurant. The new menu started last week (early Nov 05). We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will return again and again. Highly recommended but check the location before going there as you wouldn't know it was there in a small road near Ascot race course. But well worth the visit. Extensive wine list oo. Much more than last time we went. Even pink champagne on offer. Highly recommended.

A great place to meet with friends and have a good time. Everyone is really friendly and the service is fantastic. The food is lovely and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to everyone I know. The KC is certainly the best pub in Newbury.

Pot Kiln Saphire Thatcham Great Location, Great Food, Great Find
it was worth getting lost twice to find this gem of a pub-restaurant. here's a place that cares about food and booze in equal measure. It is set in the most idyllic location in the middle of nowhere. Both food and alchohol are inspired by the locality, with wild muntjac on the menu and beer brewed specially for them by the local brewery which is barely a stone's throw away. This is an enterprise which deserves success and it looks like it has already found it. Charm, enthusiasm and a passion for local produce. Ten out of ten, and don't pay any attention to any one who says otherwise.

Pot Kiln Chorley Thatcham A crying shame!
The Pot Kiln is no longer a traditional English Pub. It was sold in Februray and turned into a restaurant. The area for beer drinking has been reduced by some 80% and it is clearly the new owners' intention to focus on the food aspect of their business. Thank God The Bell at Aldworth is reasonably close.

Rose & Crown Stuart Kinner Windsor Rose & Crown Ascot, excellent dining and ambience
The Rose & Crown at Woodside, Winkfield/Ascot, boasts a wonderful location and country pub ambience whilst offering an award winning al-a-carte menu as well as a varied bar menu. We are regular customers and have always enjoyed the meals we have had. I feel loyal to the pub restaurant and think they deserve a mention on the Best Pubs website. Check out their website www.roseandcrownascot.com where you can download menus and learn more about their offerings. There is also a handy map to show how to get there. The pub is loacted just 1/2 mile from Ascot race course.

Huntercombe Public House Chris Muller Slough Great friendly Irish pub w/great music
I lived across the road from the Huntercombe Pub for 3 years. As an American living in the UK, as soon as I began to speak during my first time there, I was amazed by the friendly atmosphere and genuine interest in how and why I came to be there. The proprietors, Pat & Trish, and their adult children ran the place as a family friendly neighborhood local. Although some food was served, the pub was mainly a drinking and social gathering place. I made a lot of friends there and got to know all of the irregulars on a first name basis. On weekends during the fall and winter months, live music was playing, ranging from traditional Irish songs on Sunday afternoons, to loud American-style rock-n-roll. One of the best neighborhood blues bands, Brock and the Badgers, played there often. One of their classic numbers was a cover of Jimi Hendrix's version of Red House. I used to harass them when I walked in on a Saturday night by yelling Red House as my request, never to be disapointed.

Carnarvon Arms Philip Graceman Newbury fantastic pub
An absolutly fantastic stay! Rooms are comfortable and functional with great attentive and welcoming staff.

Wheatsheaf Ian Rae (Brother) Slough New at the Wheatsheaf
Fortunately the new licencee Mr T Rae has now got rid of the marque and in doing so has now returned the Wheatsheaf back to its origin as a proper public house where drugs are now eliminated, and the garden should reopen for the summer. He has been thanked by the locals on numerous occasions for giving back their pub. (watch out for live music on the weekends)

Pheasant Inn Peter Mc Donald Hungerford Fantastic!Great food, great staff, thoroughly rela
The Phesant Inn provides a thoroughly relaxed atmosphere withsuperb food, friendly and helpful staff. Only thirty seconds from J14 of the M4, set in beautiful countryside. The menu changes daily both lunchtime and evening and features a wide range of fish and meat- vegetartians should best avoid it! Filled with locals and visitors alike,I thoroughly reccommend this fantastic berkshire wateringhole.

Although the food here is excellent the noise levels in the restaurant are very high, lots of clanking of chairs and footsteps. The bar is so smokey that i would never choose to 'have a drink first'! Overall the food (value, taste and presentation) outweigh the negatives

Wheatsheaf Local boy Slough Wonderful in the day time
This is truely wonderful pub in the day time with excellent homemade food and perfect beer. Unfortunatly during the evening the atmosphere can become quite aggressive. It also has an unfortunate and unfortunatly deserved reputation for the marquee in the beer garden being used by large groups of people to smoke the more ahem herbal sort of cigarrettes if you catch my drift.

As a mixed group of seven men and women of various ages, and one large and one small dog, we went into the John O'Gaunt this weekend from a canal boat trip and were so pleased by the decor and friendly bar staff, that I felt I had to make a comment. We were all treated extremely well as non-locals and the beer and wine we were treated to was fantastic. Thank you once again and I will recommend you to anyone else I know taking a trip through Hungerford

I did stay at The Cricketers for 4 days and it was absolutely fabulous. The people who own this place are family and it was the first time we did visit them (we are dutch to who it may concern) The surroundings are very nice, lots of green areas, nearby Maidenhead Central Station (by train it will take you only 40 minutes to arrive at London Paddington).
