I remember one evening absolutely pulling my hair out over the bridge in "Beauty Has A Price". I took a break, phoned Lotus Garden. A mere 35 minutes later I was tucking into some kung-pao chicken and something about the brash, sweet stickiness of the sauce inspired the rising crescendo of chords that would finally solve the conundrum of how to reach that final chorus. Without Lotus Garden Cindarella would have been a very different musical.

I asked the lady how large is fried rice serving, she said "a lunch box" so I ordered some starter as well... And this was a mistake. The lunch box was 650 ml packed full with shrimp fried rice but the meal was very tasty and really for that price this is a bargain. Highly recommended!

This pub is in an amazing setting on the outskirts of Newbury. The pub is made up from a mixture of…read morebarns and farm houses cobbled together. The result is very picturesque. The best part about this pub though is the beer garden / dining garden. This has to be the best beer garden I have seen, with a lovely brook running through middle and water/marginal planting which looks amazing. The staff are very efficient at carrying out your meals from the main building, across the bridge, to your outdoor table. Inside there are plenty of windows to look out onto the garden. We had a dog with us and the waiter immediately brought out a bowl of water (silver service style), so they were very dog friendly. The menu was really good featuring local produce and a variety of cuisines. The restaurant is a little pricey but this does reflect the amazing setting and garden. Make sure you sit int he garden or grab a window seat inside.

Seated, at our request, on a charming outdoor patio, Damian cared for our every need almost before we thought of it ourselves. Because we six old friends catching up, he gave us all the time we needed without rushing us or hovering. The chef outdid himself on the specials that day, from a specialty cocktail to crab-stuffed ravioli in a white wine/lemon sauce, our mouths just tingled. The price point was more than reasonable, and there is plenty of nearby parking. We highly recommend!

We definitely look forward to each time we go and have been going here for 10+ years. In winter the fireplace is going and keeps it nice and warm. With two dining areas and outside seating (with a heated area too), there is a bit of room for groups and recommend booking for any special event. The food is always good and prepared using fresh, local ingredients. Recommend the Pork Medallions and any fish dish available. The cook is humble but gifted. You can also reserve a room as well. We do so when we have friends or family in. This is the only place we go to for the all year round. We rate this pub very highly for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and understand customer service very well. The food is always excellent and the bar is always well stocked.
