Carpenters Arms Burghclere

Food excellent and service . Charged for two courses and only had one due to having stomach cancer small meals necessary. Still gave service charge. Lovely place but not all people can mange two courses.

Great little find for somewhere to stay! Had a lovely little annex in the lovely cottage next door. although the double doors into the room could do with some attention.. the room was lovely with an array of teas, chocolate & coffee. Staff were great & very helpful.

Great family and dog friendly pub. Food is not the cheapest but is superb quality. Have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Have great indoor and covered outdoor eating spaces. The pizza oven is an impressive feature and looking forward to sampling at the next opportunity.

What a fantastic stay the Mrs and I had last night, great room large and cosy only matched by the locals we met in the bar...followed by an excellent hearty breakfast...👌

Lovely rooms, full of natural character. It would easily tick all the boxes if the rooms had been properly cleaned. Lots of cobwebs and dust.

Nice place overall. Stayed one night in annexe. Could have been lovely but room was odd. No wardrobe just a pole with hangers, very ramshackle no other storage . Lovely original fireplace which was obscured by spare bed and used as storage for iron, ironing board and hairdryer. Toilet roll holder had fallen off the wall and not replaced.
The food was good but a bit stodgy. Breakfast was not included and residents were expected to pay extra for tea or coffee so we made our own and carried it to the restaurant.
This is a place of missed opportunity, could be wonderful but needs someone to see the

Lovely staff and excellent food. The accommodation however was filthy. Dust everywhere. Awful mattress, which had to turn over. No mattress or pillow protector. Door to shower room did not shut at all. Old and very tired garden furniture which should have been on a skip. Brambles all over so completely unusable. We understood, when we paid the bill, that the owners had only been there 9 weeks but the dirt was inexcusable. some of the dining chairs filthy and many dead flies on the window ledge. No discount offered, which was disappointing.

Delicious food , great service and welcoming staff ! Sunday roast today superb! Will be returning!

My son and family took myself and my wife for Sunday lunch as a treat. I was highly impressed with the food and the friendly service, normally if I order a roast the meat is over cooked the veg soggy and roast potatoes burnt to a crisp. All parts of the roast were spot on, even the gravy tasted like it was made from scratch. The portions were generous too. Will go back again.

We went for lunch today, two of us had the fish and chips, two had the Halloumi salad, both were without fault and utterly delicious. Staff were lovely and attentive.
The decoration inside and out made it a lovely visit.....Thank you....Highly recommend !!!

The food was so nice and the staff very friendly. The pub itself is beautiful inside and what we could see look just as pretty outside... In a pretty village a couple of minutes drive from Highclere Castle.. Glad we called in....
