What a wonderful lunch we all had after a visit to Highclere. Great staff, menu, and service. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Warm welcome, fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere. Perfect stop off on the way to the South Coast and we will return at the earliest opportunity..

Great little pub serving really nice food. We accidentally came across this after we had booked the Canarvon Arms down the road, who told us they stop serving food at 3pm (something they did not mention when I booked a table for 230pm). So we...went in search of somewhere else and came across this little gem. The menu is nice, not over extensive, specials every day, the food is exceptional. I would definitely recommend here. The lady that was on the bar/serving everything else was so pleasant and such a great treat. If you are near Highclere Castle, this is a good place for lunch/dinner after visiting as it is three miles from the exit.More

We visited today for a family lunch. We had just scattered my mums ashes and went for a family meal to mark the event. I cannot fault the service, the friendly welcome and the food was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble and Milo the...dog made my 5 year old sons day. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here for a meal.More

Went lunch with the family and was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff who looked after 4 adults & two young children very well. The food was excellent and the local draught beer was very refreshing. The place to stop at after a visit to...Highclere or Newbury.More

My elderly parents’ favourite restaurant. The food is always superb. The service fantastic. On two occasions when my Dad has been in Hospital, they have sent food parcels, contacted me to let me know there are concerns, arranged for my Mum to be picked up...and brought in so they can make sure she’s eating. Then arranged to get her to the Hospital afterwards when the family haven’t been able to…. The list goes on. They really are wonderful people, who are more like family now. As a business they serve home grown, fresh, home cooked produce. It’s always tasty and beautifully cooked. The ambience in the restaurant is always relaxed and friendly. Can’t recommend them highly enough…… on every level possible!More

Great evening , We booked last minute, lovely hospitality, lovely food and great steaks ( with a bit of blue cheese). Thank you we will be back, the Jones's....X

We stopped by after a busy evening locally and were met with a warm, friendly welcome. Food was spot on - my mushroom and halloumi burger 🍔 was cooked to perfection, they even went out of they way to make a little salad with things...I could eat to replace the slaw. My fiancés steak burger was also perfectly cooked (pink just his he likes it) with delicious chips and peppercorn sauce on the side. Nothing was too much trouble and great drinks on tap too.More

Met a friend here for lunch. We both had pizza, which was deliciously thin and crispy, followed by a nice dessert of lemon posset. However the best part of it was the service. Our waitress was so friendly ,efficient and thoughtful, ensuring that she took...our orders ahead of a large party who had also just sat down. When I asked for garlic oil, instead of the Chilli oil that was in the table, she arranged for some to be made up and brought out from the kitchen. Highly recommended.More

The title of this review sums it up perfectly! We were staying nearby and booked ahead based on the previous reviews mentioned in this forum. We were met by Katie who is one side of a husband and wife team who run this independent pub...and restaurant. So refreshing to find! The food is fabulous! So good we had the same meal two nights in a row. I had Nachos to start and the best well cooked Rib Eye Steak with the usual accessories and the perfect green salad (so fresh). My wife had the thickest Tuna Steak we have seen in ages. Apparently after talking to locals, the Red House is also famous for its Pizzas with cars arriving every 10 minutes to pick up their boxes. Katie was backed up by Maggie and Harriet and all three provided slick, smooth service of this lovely food, with smiles and humour. Overall a fabulous experience with great atmosphere! One tip, get there early as the car park fills up quickly and a three minute cab ride from somewhere VERY local cost £25 each way. SCANDALOUS!!!. Fixed price apparently! A true bargain if you lived in Sunderland!More

Travelling down from Oxford we were about 10 miles from the wedding venue & we found The Red House We had enough time for a comfort stop, drink & something to eat The only shame was we couldn’t stay for longer. Staff were friendly, welcoming...& helpful as were the locals too. Highly recommend for anyoneMore
