The Woodspeen Restaurant

Highly recommended. I had lunch with three friends. The food was fabulous, the charming service was attentive yet not intrusive and the nicely spaced, bathed in natural light dining room created a lovely atmosphere. We ate from the lunchtime special menu which changes daily. I had delicious chicken will a glorious sauce and great vegetables. The grounds are delightful with marvelous sculptures. It would be a joy to dine al fresco in the warmer weather. A return event had been planned already.

I’ve eaten here on a few occasions, and the whole experience always delights me.  The food is created with care and passion using fresh (very, often from the restaurant’s own garden)ingredients that are in season. The flavour combinations are perfect – bold and often eye-opening.  In the bar, the mixologist is a magician, putting forward magical twists on well loved favourites, and the sommelier is always happy to recommend the perfect pairing for your food.  The front of house staff are warm and engaging, never obtrusive, and the moment I leave, I’m dreaming about my next visit.

We dined at the Woodspeen with our son and his partner on 27th January. The carpark was very adequate and the fact that it was full obviously reflects the popularity of this restuarent. We received a warm greeting and as we indicated that a drink in the bar would be nice before dinner we were shown through to a table in the bar. There is a huge selection of cocktails and gins that provided a relaxing start to the evening. The food we had was exemplary as was the service we received. The Tortellini and the Risotto were stand out starters as were the Monkfish Tails wrapped in Parma Ham, the Venison and the Partridge we had for main course. The Tarte Tatin was amazing. The overall cost was as expected, quite expensive but still good value for such a restuarent.

What a great experience this was. Went to two Michelin star restaurants the previous nights and this one outclassed them both. Phenomenal service with great food to match. 100% recommend!

This is a beautifully designed restaurant in a quiet area just on the edge of Newbury. Ample parking and beautiful views of the valley beneath. Outdoor and indoor seating is available. The food is beautifully prepared and presented, just incredible. The service and relaxed atmosphere is wonderful. We visited for our anniversary and will definitely be returning for our next special occasion.
