Franklyns Bistro - (Near Berkshire, South East)

Alyce King Incredible Sunday Lunch ! You MUST book for Sunday lunch (as walk in spaces rare). Two sittings, arrivals 12-1230pm and 2-230pm I believe. Great use of space for tables. Wheelchair accessible in one part of the restaurant (near back door), but when busy cant get to the toilet. Staff couldnt have been any more welcoming and helpful. Great atmosphere, background music level just right (sat under a speaker). The main issue is parking; the car park is not big enough if the pub is full - eg at Sunday lunchtime. Especially difficult if you are a blue badge holder and need to park close by. Low level lighting so low vision may struggle on certain tables.

James Crook Food is fantastic, the chicken shish is beautiful and the lamb doner very good. The salad isnt just an add-on either, its fresh and good. Quick delivery and the website is easy to navigate.

Jessica Wright Lovely country pub right in the middle of Marlborough high street. The outside is adorned with flowers which makes this pub look so inviting. We were served by a young lady called Chelsea I believe. Super friendly, welcoming and kind nature. She was attentive throughout our visit. The roast dinner was wonderful!

Jon R Tucked away in the charming village of Mildenhall, just outside Marlborough, The Horseshoe delivers a roast beef experience that’s nothing short of sublime. From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome and fresh, stylish decor set the tone for a perfect afternoon. The roast beef was the star of the show—tender, richly flavoured, and cooked to perfection. The Yorkshire puddings were golden and crisp, the roast potatoes beautifully seasoned with a satisfying crunch, and the vegetables? Surprisingly exceptional. Often overlooked, these were vibrant, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. And the gravy—oh, the gravy! Deeply savoury and clearly homemade, it tied everything together with finesse. Service was attentive and cheerful, even on a busy Sunday. If you’re craving a proper British roast with heart and flair, The Horseshoe is a must. Hats off to the team for creating a place that feels both elevated and welcoming. We’ll absolutely be back. PS chicken was good too.

Michael Hontoir What a great pub! Dog friendly, with many dog patrons! We revisited today for lunch and had such a wonderful experience, the service was excellent, the food was really tasty, everything was a notch about that you’d expect at a pub, and the speed of service was unexpectedly quick too. Looking forward to returning.

Joe Leadbeater Food is delicious, when ordering platter it was made just on time to make sure that it was fresh. Would strongly recommend
