Marlborough Peri Peri - (Near Berkshire, South East)

Carla Oshaughnessy We held my Sister’s 50th birthday meal /party there last night for 30 of us, we booked the whole restaurant ! The staff couldn’t do enough to help. The meal was amazing, we pre booked and there wasn’t a single issue with the food orders, all came out together and was delicious, the portions are also very generous. The staff all worked really hard. We all had a brilliant evening and my sister had the best 50th. We will def be booking future family parties with The Crown again soon.

David Humphrey My wife and I stayed her for two nights in October. The floor boards were creaky. The floor was not flat. The roof was low in places. The furniture was old and distressed. The stairs were steep. The rooms were quirky. But we loved it ! Great in room breakfast. More than enough. May stay again. Thanks.

Alex Lambert Both staff and food are gorgeous here. The food is sublime, children and adults both agreed, generous portions. Nothing is too much to ask and they made our daughter’s birthday really special. And don’t forget to order the Turkish Beyta Sarma, utterly delicious! We’ll be back soon..

Vanessa Westwell In July, I had a slightly disappointing visit, and so I was impressed when The Funghi Club team invited me back to try again, on the house! Today was a sunny, Tuesday lunchtime and I chose to sit inside in the bar area for a change. It was quiet at 12.15pm, but it soon filled up with lots of happy ladies who lunch, and some couples and small family groups. There was quite a buzz! There is a quieter area at the back of the bar area, if you want a calmer atmosphere. Nicole and her team were all very friendly and welcoming. There was a lot to choose from on the Menu and Specials. In the end I chose the Daily Special, which was a generously sized portion of Tuna Nicoise Salad for £16.50. The fine green beans were cooked perfectly with a little crunch. The salad dressing was tasty. If you prefer your Tuna Steak to not have any pink in the middle, please let your Server know. To follow, I had a Raspberry Tarte from the extensive, chilled Patisserie Selection. It was the perfect combination of a generous topping of fresh raspberries, atop some creamy, creme patisserie and a light, crunchy, pastry case. When your Tarte pastry almost leaps off the plate at the first tap of the fork, you know its cooked perfectly! Thank you very much. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. And I really appreciate your generosity and taking the trouble to put things right.

Tracey Equestrian The best chicken satay Ive had for a long time!! So tasty and peanutty and not greasy at all! I forgot to take a picture of it on the skewers so this is after Id pulled the skewers out. A good amount of sauce with it too. Highly recommend trying this dish. Literally only grabbed this and chips in the way home after a night out but will be back! We got there at 10.55pm and they close at 11pm. Wasnt sure if they would serve us but they very kindly did with a smile even though we could see they were ready to go.

Mike Gong We booked Sunday lunch on a recommendation, we were not disappointed at all . From the reservation booking , where your choice of fine meats were made available for your visit , to the lovely setting, great service and relaxed dining experience all was excellent, The meals were of s very good level with everything on the plates were cooked beautifully., cauliflower and savoy cheesy dish was fantastic, and the homemade yorkies were delicious. We would have been delighted at this point, but we went for desserts , the home made sticky toffee pudding was delicious with a perfect balance of pud and caramel sauce , but OMG , the seasonal crumble was out of this world …in all of my years I’ve never tasted anything as delicious, hats off to the chefs, and the team . As an amateur events chef and foodie this visit is right up there (the crumble takes top spot ) Thank you The Shears 10/10
