We recently stayed at the Iron Duke for two nights on a friends recommendation. If your looking for a breakaway from the city or just to be surrounded by beautiful British countryside then this place ticks all those boxes. A cheerful and friendly chap met us when we arrived and we were lucky enough to get the 'room with the... More

The Iron Duke is gastro-pub with rooms, conveniently located just off the A33 about half way between Reading and Basingstoke. There's no on-line booking facility and no-one was answering when I rang just before 10.00 am. However, they did pick up the answerphone message and called me back within the hour. Reception is at the bar which was fairly quiet... More

Sunday lunch very disappointing, everything had obviously been cooked the day before. In particular the yorkshire puddings were revolting, the colour and consistency of yellow cardboard. When we booked they said we would have a private room off the main bar but when we arrived we were shown a table in the centre of the main room. Only after we... More

We are lucky enough to have this pub as our local. You are always greeted with a cheery smile and nothing is too much trouble. The pub feels very friendly and personal and the food is consistently good. The owners are happy to accept muddy wellied walkers, dogs and children, but seem to also be able to maintain a degree...

We stayed two nights, and had a wonderful experience. Our upstairs suite had been refurbished very stylishly and yet still maintained a warm country cottage style feel. We were highly impressed with our accommodation. Downstairs in the restaurant we enjoyed 3 meals during our stay, of which all of them were superb. We wished we could've stayed longer to try... More

We stayed here for one night in July 2012, it was fantastic, we were met by one of the owners who made us feel at home, he showed us to our room, asking if we would like drinks brought up. We booked a table for that night and had what was a superb meal. The service was excellent very friendly... More

I booked the Iron Duke for my husbands surprise 50th birthday party & I can't speak highly enough of the venue. I had eaten there in the past and was impressed by the quality so I booked up as soon as I started my planning. We had exclusive use which was ideal for our party size. The feedback from our... More

Really nice place to get away from it all if you like chilled weekends. There are plenty of walks to choose from and local attractions such as the Silchester Roman walled Town. If you do want to get back to the city Reading and Basingstoke are just a short drive away. The staff were very professional and friendly, serving great... More

We had a very nice Sunday lunch in this charming coutryside pub. Food was really good (and we are difficult) and saff very friendly. This is true you do not need to be on a hurry but a very nice place to spend time in the peace of the green.
