Reviews in Berkshire

Splendid ambience, good service. Poor food and expensive.

I visited China Garden in August and enjoyed the food and excellent service. I'm going there tonight with a friend and am looking forward to it very much.

Went to lunch here today.Food was excellent, house wine very good.Service also good. Suggestions would beto have tablecloths, even paper.. as table alittle chipped. Also suggest wine by the glas.sshould be served in small decanters as in France, as an overflowing glass of wine istoo difficult to drink.

Terrible, do not use this restaurant! Food turned up after one and a half hours, cold, inedible and missing items. They would not give us a refund or admit to any problem - avoid like the plague!!

Eat here regularly and food is superb. Very varied menu with carvery every day and kids eat free at weekends. Homemade curries a speciality.

Best fish and chips I've ever had!!! Great food and great service from a friendly fun staff. Will definitely come back next time we are in town! Thanks x

Trust me, I go to this pub pretty much every weekend I love it! its always such a great enviroment and the owners and their dog are lovely! and if your thinking of going there then I would seriously recomend the chocolate browny!

Love this place, great carvery on a sunday, proper quality food and great value. The staff are very nice and helpful too. An all round good pub experience! highly recommended.

I have been to The Plough and the pub is very friendly and I enjoyed the food.

My favourite pub. Always something going on, eaten here many times. Good for Families.

Excellent food and fast service. Best takeaway in Newbury for Chinese food.

Myself and nine friends came to eat with you on fri 27th of July. The service was fab, the bar staff were very good, but im afraid that the standard of food was very poor. Cold Camemberg, my burger was cremated, and the holondaise sauce on a couple of the girls fish dish just tasted of butter. I wouldn,t normally send an email to complain, but when you pay £47 a head we expect good quality food. Please feel free to email me back with regards to this matterMany thanksSara Ward

poor food,poor quality,and they don't know how to serve a good pint of guiness,and the landlady monopolises the juke box,recommend not to go thjere

Food was shocking. For the price you expect a half decent meal, cod and chips for nearly £9. The cod was cooked to death and the chips were revolting. Not sure how you can balls up oven chips but they managed it admirably - completely soggy, manky looking chips that tasted rotten. My partners burger was, and I quote, "like dog food" and they managed to over cook that as well. My partner has felt pretty ill since trying to eat it. Needless to say neither of us finished our meal, we did try seeing as we paid 15 quid for it but ended up walking out in disgust. The only positive was the mushy peas actually tasted like mushy peas. Highly recommended if you are completely smashed or have four legs

My experience is always good at Shahzad.I like to have choice which they do.Food is good and fresh as we always find them adding freshly cooked food in to Buffet display.Staff is really efficent always ready to help you.All in short good restaurant,very affordable and nice food.

“"What do you want me to do when you come here...kiss your hand? This was the rude parting words of the chef/owner today...I will explain.My family of 5 arrived at the restaurant for lunch today; we were the only table in the restaurant and when given the menus, I asked for the set menu they always advertise outside on the board which is 2 courses for £10. He just said no, he had brought the restaurant in March 2012 and that offer hadn't' been available. I know he was lying as a) my parents dined there 2 weeks ago and b) the Board advertising the offer was out last week. I tried to explain this but he embarrassed me by saying "When you've stopped interrupting me, I am trying to tell you I can't make any money from that offer, here are the a la carte menus, how am I supposed to make any money". And then stormed off.I thought that was incredibly rude and we decided to leave.......and the owners response...."fine go, if you want cheap £5 food, go to Windsor". I said it wasn't the money, we were happy to pay a la carte prices, it was his attitude. It was then he said"What do you want me to do when you come here...kiss your hand?" How rude! What a shame when trying to support your local business and recession or no recession, restaurants should be charming customers, not turning them away.I am local and will not ever go there or recommend the restaurant again. And to be honest, for better pasta/pizza dishes, go to Puntos in Old Windsor, they know how to look after you there.Please avoid.Visited June 2012

The best takeaway around!!! We always order our curry from here. They are reliable and extremely tasty! Big portions - their bhajis are massive!!! We have been ordering from them for years, and only ever experienced one problem - one time the delivery guy had car problems, so the curry house rang us, explained the problem, apologised, and assured us the the curry wouldn't be much longer. Sure enough, the curry arrived (a whole fresh batch) and he driver was so apologetic. This definitely did not stop us ordering again!! A must!!

I live in Bristol this is the only place on the way home i will stop for food!! Amazing food professional friendly stuff and damn good value for Money defo worth going !!
