QUOTE (JeffG @ Feb 26 2010, 11:20 AM) I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the White Horse at Hermitage. Excellent food and friendly owner/staff.
Though a little awkward to get to from Newbury at the moment with the B4009 closed. I like the White Horse, I am a bit of a foodie though and not at all fussy. My missus is fussy and has been told abruptly on 2 occasions that she cannot make substitutions like mash for chips, or salad for veg etc...

QUOTE (ossy1 @ Feb 28 2010, 01:56 PM) Where did you go Gumbo? And would you recommend it? Hi Ossy1, as per my second post on this thread I have recently been to the White Hart in Hamstead Norreys. I think we may be going to the Rampant Cat in Woolton Hill, mainly because the Grandparents live in the village and we can all walk there.

QUOTE (Sheffordian @ Mar 4 2010, 09:49 PM) The Fox and Hounds at Uffington did absolutely wonderful food last time I was there, about a month ago. It wasn't expensive either.
More expensive (ok, often much more expensive) is The Coach in Beedon, but the food has been consistently great (particularly the puddings) and if you go for the various deals they offer through the week if can work out much cheaper.
I'm quite the fan of the food at The Ibex in Chaddleworth too. £5 for decent ham, egg and chips gets my vote.
I've only just moved to the area from Scotland, so am enjoying discovering where is good and where is not.
Without hijacking the thread... which takeaways are good (and good value!) in the general Hungerford area? If your out that way I would suggest The Palm ( Indian Food) it does a great take away, and the Restaurant is fabulous, along with fabulous service.

The fish-and-chip shop at the southern end of the High Street (name escapes me) is excellent and very competitively priced. There is a good Chinese restaurant also in the High Street almost under the railway bridge. I don't know if it is still functioning, but Curry Express, which actually operates from an industrial unit in the north of the town, does excellent Indian food delivered within a 5 mile radius. If, as I suspect, you live in Great Shefford - cheer up, life can only get better! However, the village is within Curry Express's delivery area and you might also be interested to know that there is a Great Shefford forum at http://www.forum.greatshefford.org.uk/. At busy times it may get as many as two postings a month, so your participation would be welcome.

Yep, I would agree with that. The only other take-away that I know of in Hungerford is the Moonlight Indian in the High street. Reasonable price but quality not consistant in my view. Although not take-aways these two are good pub food. The Down Gate on the edge of the Common does good simple food at a good price. The Plume is good food too.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Mar 9 2010, 08:17 PM) What sort of prices are you looking at there? I think the roast was £9.95 and the pub grub was around the £7.95 mark.
