Restaurant

The William Pear dining room, named after the Pear first grown in Aldermaston has an intricate and elegant patterned ceiling with gentle pinks and creams.

Within this setting we offer an evening a la carte menu that changes monthly and which is accompanied by nightly specials. The food is modern in style with strong but simple flavours complimented with herbs from our herb garden at the front of the house. Alongside the menu we have an excellent wine list which is changed seasonally. Breakfast is also taken in this room.

During the day we offer a range of lighter meals and bar snacks in our lounge and on our terrace overlooking the lake.

Private dining is also readily available with small parties able to choose from the a la carte menu and being cared for in the Library.  Alternately our chef will be happy to write a menu to suit your wishes and the occasion.

Tables are available between 7pm and 9pm, Monday through to Thursday evenings, with reservations appreciated but not essential. Reservations can be made by phoning 0118 981 9333.
