Simply superb: fantastic food and excellent service. but it is far from berkshire. i would request the people start new Red hot in berkshire.

A group of just over 15 of us who were aged 17-18 booked a table at the Bell on a Monday night for 6:30. After arriving and being seated all of us were immediately asked to provide ID before any food or drink was ordered. I would like to add that not a single 18 year old bought any alcohol throughout the evening. After this we were then told by the waitress that we were only allowed to purchase a meal and two drinks each before we had to leave, which seemed unreasonable. 4 members of the party arrived late (8 o’clock), ordered food by 8:30 and received their food by 8:40. At quarter to nine we were abruptly told by a waitress (and I quote), “you need to leave by 9 o’clock, so eat up”. At 9, when they sent the barman who had not been serving us to ask us to leave, we politely asked why we had to leave by 9. He said that it was pub policy to not allow under 18’s on the premises after nine o’clock. We asked him if there was any signage in the pub that showed this policy, to which he replies yes, but when he returned he said he could not find it. One member of our party asked if we could talk to the manger and the barman went to get him. We explained to the manager that we accepted that the pub may have a policy of not admitting under 18’s after 9 but we added that we felt it was unfair that we were told at such short notice and that this policy was not clearly displayed. We were not a disruptive or rowdy group and we were not causing any trouble and we feel that we have been treated in both a patronising and unfair manner. Our group had spent a considerable amount that evening that must have accounted for a good amount of the pubs income that evening as it was by no means busy. One of us asked for the head office of Weatherpersons number and will be lodging a formal complaint.

For a relaxing meal in a great atmosphere you must visit Rucola. The food is excellent and will even make something different for kids - my 4 yr old wanted spaghetti and olives! Recommend; lobster spaghetti, grilled sea bass, king prawns in garlic, veal chops. Then if that's no enough there is a sweet trolley to die for. The staff are excellent and attentive. Visit lunch or evening you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious. I visited this restaurant after receiving a menu through the post. Normally i ignore these, but this menu was just so beautifully presented i was tempted in to visiting. As I didn't wan’t a big meal i ordered two starters: Chicken pakora and somosa's. And my god, the heavenly tastes in my mouth just told me to order a main. I ordered my favourite curry, chicken Dhansak and I can honestly say I have never tasted a Dhansak like this. My mouths just watering writing about it!I must comment on the décor as well!!. The pink wallpaper and the black wallpaper is just so pretty. I think I may just have to steal the colour scheme and design for my own house. And if I could put a tropical fish tank in the middle just as the owner did, I would do the same.I think this restaurant has gained a new regular – a table by the stunning fish tank please ;)

I ate at Wagamamas last month with friends and we all had a lovely evening. The food was brilliant and the staff were really helpful and friendly

Visited last night. Very upset with meal. The calamari starter was uncooked. The main meals were served on COLD plates, the spinach was raw and the peas cold and like bullets. This is the 6th time we have been there and the meals have progressively got worse after a great first visit. I do not think I will be returning.

Good food & friendly, efficient service. Lovely views from the terraced garden

Large portions of excellent, home prepared food. Well kept ales. Good outside garden area. Also offers letting rooms but haven't tried these.

Had an excellent lunch here last week. Perfectly cooked steak. Not overly busy for a Friday lunchtime so the staff had time to look after us properly and have a bit of friendly banter.

I would not recommend this pub. They were so rude that we left after the drinks and didn't order the meal as we had planned.

Excellent food Excellent service

fantastic, been a few times now can't fault the experience, fresh food, great wines, attentive staff.

very good food, would recommend to anyone, :)

I have just moved to Bourne End and Smiles has been the best ever fish and chip shop I have ever tasted. The fish is fried Skinless so there is no waste at all. We paid 15 pound for 2 large Cod and chips..Yes a bit spendy but fresh and well worth paying this price.

Been there for so many years and always enjoyed the food & service. Very friendly and attentive service. Food is always tasty and well prepared. Also they do children menu which is fabulous. Highly recommend

I work for an American company and visited your dive as I had been told it would be a good place to hold an event we have planned. However, you were all rude and spiteful and your bar prices extortionate and I couldn't possibly use your dingy premises having been treated so rudely by each member of staff we dealt with. We walked out without eating anything and went elsewhere because your dive is so bad.
