Reviews
Absolutely stunning meal, totally unexpected! Quality was top-notch, flavours carefully curated. We had the tapas and felt we could have been in Spain, totally authentic. The service was also excellent - lots of vegetarian options but despite this the kitchen were happy to make tweaks to other dishes to open them up to use as options. An absolute gem of a place. Thoroughly recommended.
Brilliant experience at The Pot Kiln. Service was top-notch – really friendly and helpful staff. The food was outstanding, some of the best I’ve ever had. Gorgeous views and such a relaxed, holiday-like atmosphere. The manager was especially welcoming. We’ll definitely be back – can’t recommend it enough.
A lovely and unexpected find down a winding country road in West Berkshire, beautifully located with fine views over bucolic countryside, friendly cows in an adjacent field and very nice, engaged and helpful staff. This is so much more than a pub with rooms, it’s thoughtfully considered, from the stylish decor in the bedrooms, busy restaurant with a view of the chefs bustling away, great outdoor seating areas and a menu focused on North Spanish dishes, small tapas plates and richly sauced meat dishes. We look forward to our next stay.
In the most scenic area. Hidden gem and the most beautiful pub and lovely rooms. My family stayed here for Easter, it was the perfect country getaway. Food was great, service was great and the pub with the views all around was just sublime. Highly recommend for resonated getaways for family’s.
Great pub with some excellent staff- couldn't do enough for us. Dog friendly. Food was very good and a high standard of quality and presentation. Close to purdey shooting school. Ideal retreat. Would definitely stay again. Keep up the hard work guys
