The Tally Ho - West Berkshire

This restaurant is a hidden gem that I have driven past many times. This time, I decided to stop for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The staff, including the chef, were really friendly and took the time to chat with me, even though they were busy. The restaurant is a traditional pub with a simple but delicious menu. I will definitely visit again.

Good, fresh food and excellent service. Attention to detail. Special board was available. I shall recommend to my friends.

I had an amazing Sunday lunch at this restaurant near me, which I booked after reading its great reviews on Tripadvisor. It definitely lived up to its reputation! The menu had a limited selection of starters and desserts, but they focus on serving a delicious Sunday roast with perfectly crispy roast potatoes, fresh vegetables, a huge Yorkshire pudding, and generous portions of beef. The restaurant is owned by a community that ensures it maintains high standards. I highly recommend visiting anytime.

This cozy neighborhood pub offers a great variety of beers and excellent service. However, the food is lacking and is just average. After dining here multiple times, it is clear that the food is underwhelming, somewhat greasy, and likely mass-produced. If they could improve the quality of their food, this pub would be a standout.

After reading the recent reviews my wife and I decided to visit the Tally Ho tonight, what a mistake. I can only assume that the chef was off as the only food available was from the freezer, my wife had a vegetarian pie with chips and peas I opted for the Steak and ale pie with chips and peas, it appears that they forgot to add the steak. I left my pie uneaten apart from the pastry top as the filling was not nice, the guy who had served us (Chris) came and collected the plates without a word and then a waitress came with dessert menus which we declined. I then asked for the bill and when my wife went to pay she was asked if she wanted to add a tip to the card payment to which she said no, she was then asked if everything was ok to which she said the food was under whelming and I said that all of the food was out of the freezer and that there were no meat pieces in the pie to which he asked why I hadn't said anything when he had asked when he collected the plates, at this point I got a little annoyed and told him he had not asked at any point during the evening if everything was ok probably because he had been stood behind the bar listening to what my wife and I had been saying about the food, I was then told he had been in the trade for 15 years and never not asked how the food was at which point I told him I have been eating for over 60 years and never not told a waiter what I thought about the food when asked. on leaving the carpark Chris was stood at the door waving with a big stupid grin on his face. Will we be back, I don't think so.
