Friendly pub with great food, beer and service. We bumped into the last few days of the celebration deal that the kitchen reopened - so we tried lots of dishes!! The outside space looks good for the summer but my colleague and I had a good natter over dinner in the cosy bar
Stopped in on a long car drive for dinner and let me just say the place is lovely place! The sausage and mash was delicious, and I would seriously recommend. I also got the double bacon cheeseburger, and was sadly disappointed. I really wanted to like it but I found it quite dry. Other than that, everything else was fantastic.
What a pleasant surprise this pub was. Really busy on a Wednesday night, lucky to get a table. The food was delicious and very generous portions. Pulled pork burger was great would recommend. Staff were lovely but service was a bit slow but not slow enough to put us off going again
The food was really good. We had the Christmas burger with brie and cranberry sauce (the sauce was on the side). Really good burger and nice chips, with a side of slaw. However, what really blew me away was the call I received from the manager, within 15 mins of me returning home - telling me that I had left my coat at the restaurant that they had put it in a safe place for me to collect. I have eaten in nice restaurants across the world and whilst the food is important, it is the service that counts and the Shinfield Arms delivered on that.
Great pub and brilliant staff. Had the best night and the bonus of a quiz. Ok we came 2nd last but who cares when your having fun. Manager was super helpful when there was an error on our booking, which she resolved. Our waitress was a delight and was always smiling. Great pub, great staff, great food.
