"We sat outside and enjoyed delicious hot rolls at this restaurant. The menu had a good selection to choose from. However, parking was a bit of a challenge as the car park was full and the extension field was too wet. The roads were also crowded with parked cars. The price per person ranged from £10 to £20. The food was rated 5 out of 5, the service a 4 out of 5, and the atmosphere a 4 out of 5. It was difficult to find parking, but there were options for free parking in a lot or on the street."

"Disappointing. Booked Sunday lunch and specifically asked if they did gluten free which they confirmed they did. Unfortunately when we got there the only gf starter was parsnip soup without bread, the gf roast meant simply removing half the plate (the Yorkshire and stuffing etc) but still charged the same price and the only gf dessert was lemon sorbet. The menu looked lovely with a good number of choices for non gf so it’s a shame they can’t be bothered to cater for dietary requirements (or perhaps don’t make their food fresh to be able to adapt it). How on earth a prawn cocktail can’t be offered as gf if it came without bread is beyond me! If they’d been honest about the incredibly limited choices we’d have gone elsewhere and been able to actually enjoy a proper Sunday lunch. Won’t be returning"

"Myself and others booked a lunch date . We all had the lighter lunch . Delicious white bait as per usual and my brother in law said his soup was very tasty . For main i had chicken caesar salad which had big chucks...of chicken and plenty of it . My husband had cottage pie with veg and brother in law had gammon egg chips and salad. Fabulously tasty not a scrap left on the plates. Everything cooked to perfection. Desserts were apple crumbles and custard and creme brulee. Again no let down here, big chunks of apple in the crumble . Staff were very friendly and efficient even though the place was quite busy and nothing was too much trouble. We have lunched here around times now and never have a bad meal. Highly recommend . Prices are good value and meals are a good size . Nice atmosphere to the place especially as the log burner was on the go."

"We regulary visit Goring and always go to the Catherine Wheel for lunch as in the past it has been excellent. Today however was not a good experience. No milk for teas or coffees and no suggestion thst a member of staff would go to the local grocers to get some. Toasted ciabattas , not toasted and very stoggy. Bacon burnt and ham in large chunks and very fatty. Crisps tasted stale and the salad had no dressing. The staff are friendly, but come on Catherine Wheel up your game or we wont be coming back"
