"My friends and I decided to go on a mile walk around Finchampstead, Farley Hill, The Combes and then go back to our cars via The Bull at Barkham, so we could have a well earned pub lunch. As a group of Ramblers, we...had regularly visited the Bull after our walks prior to the pandemic and I would have previously commended the pub by saying they served the best ham, egg and chips in the area. Well,,,...... has that changed for the worse!!!!!!! We had a very poor meal there today. Firstly, they don't serve ham, egg and chips any more, secondly one of my friends and I ordered fish chips and our meals were very poor. The fish piece I had was really tough and unpleasant and the chips were not cooked enough. No mushy peas, just a few cold frozen peas and sauce out of a catering jar. Even the tomato sauce, mayo and salt pepper were served in TINY sachets and there wern't enough of them. The waiter who served us was unfriendly and surley. We shant be returning to the Bull at Barkham any time soon."

another beautiful meal with friends. are they no longer in the bottle of prosecco? can I not take care of this new rule? sounds like a greedy owner rule. much profit is made on a bottle

Great pub before COVID. Much improved after COVID. Food portions have doubled. With a fussy son, we love the Bull. My son has loads of kid meals to choose from and the Thai food was better than when we’ve come previously. Would recommend to anyone!!

After reading several positive reviews, I was not impressed with this restaurant. Although the service was friendly, the quality of the food and the prices were poor. I found it difficult to justify the prices for the meals we received. The presentation of the dishes could not make up for the fact that the kids' burger was overcooked and dry, the pork was very fatty and overcooked, and the chicken was also overcooked and dry. Overall, I left feeling very disappointed. Voir le carte

Visited last summer when the Government covered half the bill encouraging people to dine out to support businesses… An advertising board was outside suggesting the Government off. Food was okay. Not great. But it was lunch. When the bill arrived it was the full...price. No discount applied. When questioned the waitress said, ‘we do off. Do you want me to change it’. Why did they have a board outside and not take the off… and why not register with the Government for they would get of bill that way. Disappointing that they implied it was a off…. Haven’t been back.

we were not already one because on the bullen in barkham, but eating was quite good, especially there Curry’s we had a very average meal, although the people who had the curries said the taste was ok, but they could. the meat was not very good quality and was hard, I had fish and chips, and I can honestly say it was the worst fish chips I had ever had no confidence how they could go wrong with fish and chips that I told the waiter when he took my full plate, it was not good, but he was very uninterested. so service also not great. such a scandal, how beautiful looking pub inside and outside, but surely it will not eat there soon

It was a quiet night in the pub, service was a little slow however the waitress was very pleasant. We ordered main courses which came in a reasonable, however, the lamb dish was dry, as if they had precooked the lamb and just placed...a sauce on it. This dish we have had before and previously was much better. We then asked if they did irish coffees tonight, even though I could see it on a board within the other part of the restaurant I thought it was polite to ask. They advised that they did, so I asked for a Calypso version, Barperson arrived with a glass of Tia Maria. After trying to get this right I just ordered a coffee and settled for that. Disappointed Voir le carte

Have visited on a regular basis every week with a group of friends sit outside. Everyone orders in or usually coffee, teas beers . Service is often slow frequently orders are wrong. Coffee is served in cups with no handles...but are useless for tea as its too hot, so asked for cups/ mugs with handles . This varies from big teacups to liquer coffee glasses! Tea has arrived in a pot with no tea bags, sugar, milk or spoon, biscuits are a lottery sometimes you get one, sometimes not . The beer is ok but they put up the price of a pint by in one week. We visit every week, same day, same quiet lunchtime so you would think they would be a little more prepared. Needless to say we now go elsewhere.

Today of us called for lunch, nearing the end of a mile walk, with the expectation of the usual high standards. Very busy but a table found. had Thai curry and fish and chips. Drinks came promptly, excellent beers and...cider, then the food came. The curries looked, smelt and tasted great but the fish and chips were probably the worst the of us have had. Grossly thick undercooked batter, chips looked great but undercooked. Nobody came to enquire if we were happy and nobody about to report. We were so hungry we ate what we could then gave up. The manager cleared table and we told him about the meal. The only reason I’m leaving this report is the complete lack of concern by this man who shrugg...

"After many years, on recommendation of others, went to this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Whilst the food was excellent, the service was atrocious and totally ruined what should have a lovely night out on a very special occasion. Booked for and seated...promptly. Orders for aperitifs taken and drinks brought promptly. Order for wine taken, bottle brought and opened. Then it all went downhill. Waited for over minutes for our meal order to be taken and that only happened because I signalled to the girl behind the bar that I was getting unhappy. First course then took about minutes to arrive. However our main course took until to arrive. I have never ever waited minutes for a main course to arrive. It would not have been so bad if the staff had shown any interest or we had been able to grab hold of one to ask what was going on, they just seemed to totally ignore us! As mentioned earlier, the food, when it did arrive, was very good, it would have been even better if the side order of vegetables my wife had ordered had also arrived. We did ask what had happened to them but when we were told they had been overlooked, decided to just make do and share mine. To add insult to injury, while we were waiting we noticed that other couples were eating dishes that were not on the menu we had been given. I later found out that we were supposed to have been given a specials menu but this had also been overlooked. At the end, the manager was very apologetic and gave a cursory discount however this was not the point. It was a special occasion at a not inexpensive restaurant I would have preferred to pay the full price and not had a ruined evening. Needless to say, we will not be returning."

"After reviewing the menu, we decided to go for a 'running buffet' and shared a variety of dishes, reordering every ten minutes or so. I asked everyone to rate each dish on a scale of 1 to 5, and every main dish received a perfect score of 5, except for the Szechuan Prawns, which got a 5.5, and the sizzling spicy chicken, which scored a 6! The rice and noodles were all delicious—fluffy, tasty, and well-seasoned—but we gave them all a rating of 4 simply because the mains were exceptional. The standout dishes were the Char Siew (honey pork), which we ended up ordering three times, and the sizzling hot spicy chicken, which we ordered twice. It had a delightful kick of heat, was tender and moist, and had a wonderful sauce—even though I tried to manage the scores, they rated it a 6! The Szechuan prawns were plump, firm, and cooked to perfection, and they scored a very hard-fought 5.5, with just the right amount of heat. One of the boys was a bit picky, but we requested a serving of Singaporean noodles without vegetables for him without any hassle. This isn’t just average food; it’s really good, and it comes out quickly, looks appealing, and tastes fantastic—reflecting its price. We also tried the 'wine by the glass' options. The white Chilean Sauvignon Blanc paired well with the food, while I enjoyed an Australian Shiraz that complemented the beef, pork, and spicy dishes nicely. The Italian 'Blush' rosé was also a hit. We're already planning to return on Monday with another group of six to explore more of the menu, and I’m genuinely looking forward to it. If you truly appreciate good food, I highly recommend trying Chef Peking!"
