The Woodspeen
British, Modern restaurant in Newbury
Lambourn Rd - RG20
“Despite losing its Michelin star, standards at the Woodspeen remain very high” according to practically all of the many reports on this restored pub in West Berkshire, which was transformed in 2013 by top catering CEO, Alastair Storey (and which is one of the top-50 most commented-on destinations outside London in our annual diners’ poll). There is a variety of menus, including a sensibly priced à la carte option all served in a stylish setting (which includes a striking, high-ceilinged contemporary space added onto the original building). “I have been dining at The Woodspeen since it opened. I have seen the team develop over the years. It’s an excellently run restaurant with great food. May have lost its Michelin star but it is as great as it always has been in my view”. Top Tip – “good value for money, especially for the set lunch”.

Damson
restaurant in Winterbourne
Chef Henry Kremer-Ireson’s “innovative” and “informal” follow-up to Henry & Joe’s, in Newbury, is a “hidden gem” set on the site of the old Winterbourne Arms, which reopened in 2023 as this “beautifully designed, intimate restaurant”. The “fantastically passionate chef” is “big on sustainability, local suppliers and recycling”, while the food is (by absolutely all accounts) “truly exceptional” and “innovative”, whether you go for a 3-course dinner (Thursday to Saturday night, £60 per person), lunch or the evening 9-course tasting menu (Friday/Saturday, £95 per person) or Sunday roast. “The staff are incredibly welcoming” too “and nothing is too much trouble”. Of those commenting, an impressive number reported their best meal of the year here.
5.
The Great Shefford
British, Modern restaurant in Great Shefford
Newbury Road - RG17
2023 Review: Complete with a riverside terrace, this privately owned pub near Newbury receives a good rep in our annual diners’ poll for its 40-seat dining room overlooking the river Lambourn, where chef Sam Cary aims to deliver ‘refined modern British pub food’. In an April 2022 visit, Tatler’s Fay Maschler declared it “a rare jewel of a country pub” offering “everything you want a welcome to be”.
