GOAT ON THE ROOF

GOAT ON THE ROOF

Verified
4.9(318 reviews)
97/100
Goat on the Roof is a cracking little spot in Newbury, dishing up brilliant British grub with a focus on sustainability and cracking service that keeps everyone coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely top-notch, with fresh, seasonal British ingredients that make every dish a real treat – think innovative flavours that leave you wanting more.
  • They've got an impressive wine list with over 150 organic and sustainable options, perfect for pairing with your meal and adding a lovely touch to the evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • It tends to close a bit early, around 7 PM typically, so if you're after a late-night spot, you might have to head elsewhere.
  • As it's more of a restaurant vibe, it could feel a tad formal for those times when you fancy something super casual and laid-back.

Cow & Cask

4.8(124 reviews)
94/100
Cow & Cask is a delightful little micropub in Newbury with an excellent beer selection and a warm, chatty atmosphere, though it's on the snug side with limited grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got a cracking range of ales and ciders, often from local breweries, and the barrels change frequently so there's always something new to try.
  • The atmosphere is spot on; it's a proper cosy micropub where you can have a good old chat with friendly regulars and enjoy that welcoming vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food options are a bit limited, just sandwiches, snacks, and the odd pickled egg, so it's not the place for a full meal.
  • Being a small micropub, it can feel a tad cramped if it gets busy, and you might not find a seat during peak times.

The Globe in Newbury is a gem of a pub with a warm, friendly vibe, excellent drinks, and live music that makes it a top choice for a fun get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially with live music events that really get everyone in the spirit – it's a proper lively spot for a great night out.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from exciting beers and ciders on tap to cocktails, wines, and even low or no-alcohol options, so there's something for every taste.
Areas for Improvement
  • The place can get quite lively, especially during events or match days, which might not be ideal if you're after a peaceful pint.
  • With moderate prices, it could add up for a full evening, so it's worth keeping an eye on the tab if you're planning a longer stay.

The Hartley Arms is a welcoming pub in Donnington that's all about fresh, seasonal grub and a cosy vibe – a real gem for anyone after a hearty meal and good company.

Areas for Improvement

The Coat and Bear is a real charmer in Newbury, blending a cosy gastro pub with stylish rooms and cracking food – it's one of those places that makes you want to linger a bit longer over a pint and a plate.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think delicious Sunday roasts with perfectly cooked beef and tasty sides, or hearty evening meals that hit the spot every time.
  • Rooms are a treat, with stylish decor, comfy beds, and lovely touches like coffee machines, chocolates, and even goodie bags for dogs – makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's listed as closed at the moment, so you'd want to double-check the latest status before heading over, as that could put a dampener on plans.
  • Being in a busy area, it might get a bit crowded, especially during peak times, so booking ahead is probably a must to avoid disappointment.

The Hatchet Inn - JD Wetherspoon

Verified
4.1(2600 reviews)
82/100
The Hatchet Inn is a solid Wetherspoon pub in Newbury that's generally buzzing with affordable vibes, but watch out for the occasional service slip-ups that might leave you wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a classic Wetherspoon spot with great value for money, making it perfect for a budget-friendly pint or meal without breaking the bank.
  • The location in Newbury's Market Place is spot on – easy to pop in for a quick drink or to unwind after exploring the area.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss; a few people mentioned staff seeming uninterested or rushing through orders, which puts a bit of a dampener on things.
  • Food quality isn't always up to scratch – it's been described as just okay on some visits, and there have been complaints about portions or presentation.

Slug & Lettuce in Newbury is a lively cocktail bar that's full of charm for group outings and deals, but watch out for the occasional service slip-ups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and attentive, making sure everyone feels right at home, as seen in those glowing reviews about their service.
  • It's packed with great offers like 2-for-1 cocktails and bottomless brunches, which make it a brilliant spot for a fun night out without spending a fortune.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few instances where service fell short, like one group being refused entry, which could put a dampener on plans.
  • Options for dietary needs, such as gluten-free choices, seem a bit limited, so it might not suit everyone looking for more variety.

82/100
The Lock Stock & Barrel is a charming riverside pub in Newbury with a great atmosphere and friendly service, but it's worth noting the prices can add up quickly.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location by the canal is absolutely spot on – it's a lovely spot for a relaxing drink or meal, especially on a sunny day with that great roof terrace.
  • The staff are really friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit pricey; for instance, two pints might set you back around £15, which feels steep even for a riverside spot.
  • Overall pricing seems on the high side, especially when compared to what you'd expect in a typical pub – it might make you think twice before ordering another round.

The Starting Gate is a welcoming community pub with a charming, friendly vibe that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up over a pint, though it lacks food options and can be hit or miss on busyness.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing with a real community feel that makes you feel right at home, like you're among friends
  • The staff are top-notch and incredibly friendly, with folks like Nathan and Sian going the extra mile to make your visit memorable
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve food, which is a real shame if you're after a bite to go with your drink
  • It can get a bit quiet at certain times, like late evenings, so the vibe might not always be as lively as you'd hope

The Bacon Arms is a delightful Newbury pub with a welcoming vibe, friendly service, and solid grub, though it has the odd hiccup like kitchen availability.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going above and beyond to make you feel right at home – it's like chatting with old mates over a pint.
  • The pub has a lovely historical charm from its 17th-century roots, combined with a warm atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a hearty meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been occasional hitches with the kitchen, like when it's not fully up and running, which might mean limited food options on certain days.
  • Parking can be a bit of a puzzle – one mention of a 'car park cheat' suggests there might be some quirks or hidden tricks to navigating it, which could be a minor annoyance.

Oxford Street Kitchen & Bar is a welcoming little gem in Newbury, with a modern twist and high marks from visitors, though its short hours might leave you wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a lovely modern vibe in the heart of historic Newbury, making it a great spot for a relaxed drink or meal.
  • The ratings are spot on at 4.5 out of 5, with most visitors raving about the enjoyable atmosphere and authentic smokehouse flavours.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are pretty limited, just from 3 PM to 5 PM every day, which might cramp your plans for a proper evening out.
  • It can feel a bit quiet or empty at times, as one visitor noted on a Saturday afternoon, so it might not always have that lively buzz.
