We visited this pub for the first time recently, and honestly – what a brilliant find! As a big family with two large dogs, it can be hard to find somewhere that suits everyone, but this place absolutely smashed it.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome – including our dogs who love being fussed over, were greeted with open arms by the lovely staff. The atmosphere was just perfect: the whole place such a warm, inviting feel.
The staff were an absolute delight. Friendly, patient, and genuinely caring, they took the time to make sure we had everything we needed – which is not easy with fussy children! Nothing felt rushed or stressful, and it was so nice to be able to properly relax and enjoy the evening (a rare treat for us as a family!).
The food was excellent. Our kids found plenty of options they were excited to try – and even our pickiest eater cleared their plate. Our teenager actually put his phone down to enjoy the meal, which says a lot! Every table has a QR code for their app so the kids could choose anything spontaneous extra they wanted really easily! Everything was full of flavour, freshly cooked, and served hot and quickly.
As a gin fan, I was blown away by the selection – so many great options, I’m already planning to come back with friends! My husband loved the range of beers and cask ales! Service was quick, the quality was spot-on, and the prices were incredibly reasonable – especially with all the great deals available. We didn’t feel like we had to compromise on anything, which is such a bonus for a family meal out. For a first visit, we couldn’t have asked for better. We’re already planning our next trip, especially after seeing all the event listed on...
Read moreNot been to the frogs for a while so we popped in on way home Sunday from our long drive , my god greeted by lots of tables all covered in un eaten food plates and dirty tables , even a whole roast dinner someone had left ? beer glasses on nearly every table in a pub that had 3 or 4 people in so not busy ,telly blasting in one corner football stupidly loud and music as well ? all the ales where empty just IPA was on tap ? the choice of roasts were just turkey - after ordering the meals from a girl that just should take up a different career as happiness was not forthcoming never been served by a Goth before ! a plus was nice to see a few dogs in the pub but hey get a grip the pie was all soggy the mash was out of a packet maybe can see so much food was left on the tables now ! but must say the roast was plenty and cooked ok , but my wife cleared our table before we ate - I read in the reviews that its new management well I can see why on a Sunday why your pub was empty now awful pub gone really downhill . UPDATE - been a week since this general manager answered below , well I send a email to this Lucy and not surprised got no reply ! thoughts on this pub is if you love drinking 14 pints a night and love football screaming out loud with glasses everywhere and puddles on the floor this is the one for you - for a nice meal in a clean pleasant pub try the others in Wokingham . Looking at trip advisor reviews of this pub seems to have plenty of reviews saying the same as mine a unsolved common...
Read moreThe atmosphere is great, they have done a great job with the renovation. The food however was nowhere near the standard it should be. 8 of us ate yesterday and all 8 agreed that it was not to a reasonable standard. The beef burgers were dry, the steaks were over cooked. Even the replacement steak came without the sauce and wasn’t cooked as it should be. The roast said it was going to be served pink but it was well done and the veg was just boiled and on the side.
2 of the meals were taken off the bill by the lady who was very good considering her shift had Just started. We still all left feeling like we wouldn’t return for food again. It’s still a nice place for drinks and starters.
Lastly we ordered several rounds of drinks, and 1 of the beers didn’t taste right. Instead of solving the problem by switching it out the lady behind the bar continued to basically tell us the beer is fine. Even though she said it could be the glass. When we said we would like a different beer (only 1 sip was drank) she said she will still charge us for the beer and said she’s been working in bars for a long time and she knows when beer isn’t right. What happened to the customer is...
