Review The Herd Restaurant - Pangbourne

Lovely dinner last night and great Steak experience. It is no nice to see the steaks being cooked in the fire next to you, thanks to Flo for all the suggestions and the friendly service! The steaks and all the other bits tried are very good and locally sourced! We will be back soon!

Arrived a tad early by 8 minutes and were graciously accompanied to our table. All laid out very precisely along with linen napkins. Asked if we wanted drinks. Subsequently our orders were taken. The chicken wings were juicy, tender and plenty of meat! The BBQ sauce was excellent. Delicious. The Chef cooks the steaks on a cast iron grate on a wood fire. He checks the degree of cooking by pressing gently with his gloved hand. The filet steak, medium rare, was cooked to perfection. The steak was top quality tender and flavoursome enhanced by the smoke from the wood fire. The food was top notch and the service by the Chef and waiters was faultless. Attentive, courteous and friendly. Will we come back. Certainly. This was up there with the best in Berkshire. Thanks to tonight's staff for their exceptional service. Car park was full but after 6pm the public car park is free. After 9pm the toll bridge is free. @Herd Restaurant.. Marketing.. No need to comment. Review speaks for itself!

Fantastic food at a not-unreasonable price. Came here on a Thursday night for our wedding anniversary dinner. Fantastic service, but mentioning it was our anniversary and first night out without our almost 2 year old when making the reservation was entirely ignored. Also, on a Thursday night the chateaubriand and tomahawk steaks were gone very very quickly, so make sure to arrive early if that's what you're planning on!

An excellent place to eat the finest steak meal in Berkshire! The menu is full of goodies but the steak variety is superb. The chef prepares the steak according to your order, cooked to perfection on oak logs, right in front of you on the glorious log grill in the dining room. After cooking it is ‘rested’ under the infrared lights at the right temperature and served thereafter. The place has great ambiance with helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Superb Tomahawk steak cooked so expertly at the open fire. Service superb. Special mention for the highest customer service quality from Daisy.

A fantastic restaurant, with attentive friendly staff. Surroundings are beautiful with lots of Elephants and unusual little bits. Steaks are cooked on the grill in front of you by the excellent chef. The steaks were truly wonderful but the puddings were sublime.

11/10 restaurant amazing atmosphere with some of the best food I’ve ever had couldn’t imagine a better place to celebrate with a meal

This is a firm favourite. It has great decor, and you can watch your steaks cooked on their wood fire grill. The steaks are always amazing, cooked perfectly. They are served with really crispy chips and the side dishes are also yummy (recommend the macaroni and cheese). The desserts arent quite as special as the mains, but still enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back!

It's absolutely incredible!! Food, staff, setting, just incredible. Many thanks to the chef for looking after us tonight!!

Been here many times for dinner and afternoon tea, food is always fantastic, staff are very friendly and welcoming, Marvin is an absolute gentleman.

Excellent steak, good chips, but little else on the side. Meal was spoilt by the 11/2 hour wait from ordering. There was no room in the restaurant so put in the bar which was very noisy. Staff unhelpful.

AMAZING and probably THE BEST RESTURANT IN PANGBOURNE. Staff were quick & efficient a definate MUST TRY.. Food was immense at really good price. Will certainly be back for more.

Excellent food and experience this the place for steaks and chef show exhibition BBQ cooking in the restaurant

Fantastic steak best I have had, staff very friendly and professional would recommend

Superb place. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Best Rib Eye steak I've ever had.

Just the most wonderful restaurant around, especially if you're a meat eater, the steaks are faultless. Service friendly and helpful as always. We've never been disappointed

Interesting, like no other. Never seen a mammoth's tusks before! Food good and service efficient.... but not intrusive. Waiters were lovely; pleasant and helpful. One young lady was a little sullen. Lovely conveniences. Fabulous elephant outside- made I assume of scrap metal pieces. In all, a nice experience and not over priced.
