A rural public house serving local beers, Berkshire gin and ciders, as well as a great wine selection. Bar snacks and full meals available 7 days a week. Cooking over a central grill makes for great theatrical cooking from our open-plan kitchen, overseen by Head Chef Nick Galer.

Whilst a subtle Basque feel will permeate throughout, its roots are firmly founded on those of a classic English pub – so while featuring top end Basque dishes fit for a destination dinner, it also offers simple pub snacks for a light lunch… while the food may be inspired by the Basque country, the ingredients are local… and while the wines may be sourced from Iberia, the beer is very much English.

The crowning glory is the sensational open kitchen, with a huge, CHARCOAL FIRED parilla grill and a BRICK OVEN as its centrepiece and all in front of the guests – very visual and very theatrical.

The Pot Kiln has been a really exciting project, and we’re thrilled to be finally open.

Overall good, tasty tapas plates but very small portions for price to be honest. Kitchen had run out of spanish potatoes and the chips chosen instead had a very salty coating which adding to already heavily salted food was too much and I luv my chips usually !! But as I say food very good overall, except cheese board, very very poor, with only 2 very small cheese slices for £14, not acceptable at all in the view of our whole table, particularly when not given a choice of cheeses, it would be easy for a guest not to like say a blue and not told what cheeses would be provided when only 2 !. Plus when trying to re-invent the wheel, it was provided with a bar of flapjack ???? , so again this should be on a menu

Interesting food , including tapas, very different from that served before the refurbishment and reopening. Food nicely designed, prepared and presented, and tasty. The new decor gives a light and airy feel. Service excellent, attentive but well paced.

Restaurant with stunning country side views. Fabulous meal for my wife’s birthday. Delicious starters of baked clams, gambas al ajillo and crispy sweetbreads. Followed by mouthwatering shoulder of lamb for two which feel off the bone and tasted fantastic. Excellent service from the attentive staff
