Second time at the Orangery and lovely experience again. This time we tried the Swedish pancakes and were let down by this dish. Unlike everything else we tried which was fabulous- nobody asked for feedback on this dish. The service was not as good as our first visit but still quite good. I would absolutely not recommend the Swedish pancakes (brunch menu) but everything else was a ten out of ten.

I thought the food was really good, served in a very reasonable time. Only had 2 slight gripes, I messaged the restaurant telling them we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, which I was told it be made a note of on the booking, but we received no acknowledgement of it during our visit. Also, a service charge of 13.5% is automatically added to the bill, which I don’t like at all. I leave my own tips at my discretion. In fairness they make it clear you can change this amount if you wish, which I did.

About the restaurant

The Bear & Ragged Staff in Cumnor is a world away from the Newbury & Swindon roads that stream past only a mile from its door. The heart of the pub is a glorious Tudor beauty. Ancient fireplaces, flagstone floors, and mullioned windows with carved lintels make the bar one of the finest anywhere. A comfortable eatery, conservatory, and South-facing terrace provide spaces for every mood – and winding stairs lead to cosy bedrooms with old oak doorways and beamed ceilings.
