GOAT ON THE ROOF in Newbury

Ah, Goat on the Roof – it's one of those places that really sticks in your mind after a visit. Tucked away in the heart of Newbury, it's all about celebrating the best of British cuisine with a strong nod to sustainability and local sourcing. From the reviews I've seen, folks are raving about the food; it's fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour, with highlights like red mullet and beef bao that hit the spot every time. Pair that with their extensive wine selection, and you've got a meal that's not just tasty but thoughtfully put together. The team there are proper gems too – always up for a chat and genuinely enthusiastic about what they serve, which makes the atmosphere feel welcoming and relaxed, whether you're in the main restaurant or up in the wine bar for a more chilled-out vibe. On the flip side, it does wrap up early most days, so it's not ideal if you're planning a long night out, and the restaurant feel might not suit everyone if you're after something more pub-like and informal. All in all, it's a solid choice for a memorable meal with mates, especially if you're keen on supporting eco-friendly spots without skimping on quality.
