The Barn At The Hare Hounds - Newbury

Excellent experience this weekend. Staff were incredible kind, helpful and great service without it being too over the top; perfect balance. Room was beautiful. Honestly the quality of the accomodation is something we would have expected from a price tag three times the price we paid for this weekend! Spotless. Food was excellent too great breakfast options and they have vegan friendly options (and great cocktails for dinner! We will definitely be back.

We had brunch here for my brother’s wedding venue. They have their own parking. Really lovely venue, high ceiling, very cosy. Really pleasant place, they also have an outdoor seating. Service was EXCELLENT! We had a 3 course set meal. I had the duck liver pate’ for my starter Burger for my mains and chocolate fondant for dessert. I just wish there was a Vanilla ice cream to go with the fondant tho. Overall, everything was FANTASTIC!

Lovely pub with various seating areas, inside and out. Large menu of pub classics and seasonal dishes. The bedrooms are small but have everything you need including a big comfy bed, coffee maker and filtered water. Good value.

Went here to celebrate a couple of friends birthdays and had a very mixed evening. It was a Monday night so it was quiet and we were one of only a handful of tables. We were a party of four and there were no tables any larger than ours in that evening. We were seated quickly and that was about the one and only thing that happened all night with any kind of urgency. Our orders were taken and we were waiting 20 minutes or more for our first round of drinks. About half way through this, we were informed that three of the four meals we had ordered were sold out (something you'd think we'd have been informed of at the time of ordering . We thought we could quench our thirst with some water whilst waiting for our drinks but sadly no one ever came over to refill our glasses. When the food finally arrived it was delicious and I couldn't fault it at all (even if it wasn't my first choice on the menu! , so that made up for lack of service. We ordered a dessert each although only 3 of them arrived. My friend had to ask for her coffee which also didn't have any signs of showing and then when her dessert didn't show she just gave up on it (it was never put through the system . I ordered a glass of red wine, specifying the wine and was given a glass of what I assume was house red at least I wasn't mis charged for it as it was cheaper than the one I ordered! Even paying the bill was an ordeal, taking us a while to get it and then having to go through line by line to see if any of the food we ordered and didn't get hadn't been taken off (there was one additional meal on the bill . All in all a bit of a shambles but at least the delicious food and the wonderful company meant it didn't dampen our evening too much. Don't think I'd come back on a quiet night again, seems the service staff take it as a sign to disappear.

I have been in Newbury for 20+ years and the first time I have visited this establishment and wow was I impressed from the minute I walked in the service was top notch and nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb along with the wine selection. Definitely a place to take someone special for that feel good factor. Our table was attended by Shaun who explained everything in fine detail and was good for a giggle along the way
