Restaurants · Newbury
Set in a village a short drive from Newbury, this traditional pub manages the trick of being genuinely relaxed with children in tow — high chairs, a kids' menu, and a free car park big enough that one visitor arrived in a three-metre van without trouble. Buggy access is fine and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. Food is the real draw: thick, properly seasoned soups with warm sourdough, fillet steak one guest rated among the finest they'd eaten in the UK, and roast venison that arrives tender and pink. Portions are generous and the value surprises people — one parent asked whether they'd been undercharged. Front of house is calm and attentive without hovering, and dogs are welcome too. The pub side carries more atmosphere (and more noise on match days) than the quieter restaurant, so pick your room to suit the mood.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
