The Blade Bone Inn

I’ve grown up in the area and we’ve explored and eaten at the best Berkshire and surrounding has to offer. We’ve never left a Sunday lunch so happy. Party of 3 plus 1 giant dog. Where to start? An extremely dog friendly pub who went above and beyond to welcome and accommodate. The food? Exceptional. Brilliant starters, mains and dessert. Great wine recommendation. Lobster is a risky choice if unfamiliar with the restaurant .. but I risked it .. and can safely say it was cooked as well as any I’ve had at a top seafood joint; fresh (as promised and like butter. The others thoroughly enjoyed their roast beef. Not a clean plate. The landlady/manager who is clearly just born to do the job is all round brilliant. My highlight? The dog. She didn’t bat an eyelid when I asked for some chicken and beef; she brought roast beef and a sliced chicken breast beautifully presented on a plate (I tried the chicken convinced something must be **** somewhere but no .. chicken breast like the lobster soft as butter . Landlady then reappeared with dog ice cream. Honestly Bladebone whatever it is you’re doing keep doing it! We couldn’t fault a single thing (we’ll be back to try!! .

I have to write this straight away as in my quest to find the best Sunday lunch I need go no further! Everything was amazing from the ambience, the decor, the staff and the food. The meal was wonderful, little nibbly bits to start, panko prawns and mustardy chipolatas. Roast pork with all the trimmings and vege strudel with very tasty trimmings! The roast potatoes so tasty and crispy, veges delicious! Puddings, as if we weren't full enough! Lemon pie and jelly and ice cream. Coffees and drinks, total £88 incl service. Fantastic value as far as I'm concerned

This used to be one of our favourite pubs but I can’t help but feel it’s gone downhill recently and our past couple of visits here we’ve been left feeling disappointed. The food isn’t quite what it was and the service during our most recent visit was a little sloppy with long waits. It’s a shame but after giving them the benefit of doubt on a couple of occasions, we won’t be rushing back.

Now able to say: consistently excellent. Two further brilliant lunches and a delicious evening meal. The atmosphere, the service, the food, unfailingly dog friendly. Couldn’t fault it again. Please let’s keep supporting local so places like this don’t go!

I would like to thank everyone for making my family birthday celebration so special today. From the waiting staff being professional and welcoming to the quality of the food it couldn’t have been more perfect. Would highly recommend and will be returning
