Babar - West Berkshire

Great bar, popular with locals. serves west berkshire breweries that must be one for me

We enjoyed a nice lunch here in the well-designed garden on a sunny afternoon. the menu is beautifully varied and we all enjoyed our eating (three hausburger and a veggie fajitas, £12-14). we spent a very cozy three hours at lunch on...a Saturday with a few other groups in the garden, but a lot of space to enjoy a bit of private sphere. the food came fast and the staff was polite, but seemed very cooled to the point of lack of good customer service. we had to ask that the table be wiped, but the type was very ready as soon as it was pointed out. I would certainly go back, but would love it if the servier staff were a bit more buzz.

We had an excellent roast. Pleasant bar setting-not sure about the sport on television, but sound must have been off. We could have had the same meal in the Dining Room. We thought that the meal was excellent value and a local told us that...the food is sourced from an top rate local supplier. It certainly had a good flavour.

At the beginning of the month, I was travelling with my Business Partners to a Board Meeting in Bristol strait after a long day at work. We stopped to have a quick dinner the Elephant. The atmosphere in the hotel makes you feel coy and...welcome and I think the food was delicious. On the other side we, all, were disappointed by the attitude of the staff that was serving in bar. There was a dark–blue haired lady serving us. The impression was that as we were not a priority for her as we not regular to the bar, so we could be forgotten when we called her. We felt her attitude towards us was really rude – she was too busy flirting with all the men in the bar to pay attention to our needs as occasional customers. Even when, we went to pay the bill to the bar, she started doing it, but a men appeared and she left out bill, she went to kiss and welcome that men, served him with a drink and only after that come back to finish serving us. And when you think that it was a 2 mins job to pay so we could leave.

Lovely place to meet with friends or for a more formal occasion. This place is steeped in history but also kept up to date. clean and comfortable.without aires and graces , friendly and welcoming. Bar food or the restaurant. the food is very good and...the choice is ample. Service also friendly and quick ... no ong waits and I have been there many times. My favourite place to go in such a lovely village.
