Queens Arms

After the unexpected closure of another local pub in the Lambourn valley at which we'd arranged lunch for a group of runners & walkers, the Queens Arms came up trumps in taking us on at relatively short notice. Individual lunch orders from those planning to attend were taken and passed on, so that on the day we were confident of a good meal after the 'exercise'. And we were not disappointed: at the agreed time of 13.15 a stream of plates were served in the garden room so well that everyone, already with a drink from the efficient bar, had their food of choice at the same time. Food - delicious; service - faultless.

Had a great meal, combined with excellent local walk. The village is extremely pretty. Pub is dog- friendly and staff were very helpful about changing our time due to traffic delays

Absolutely BLISSFUL weekend break at the Queen's Arms. Ate in the restaurant on Friday evening - very tasty! I had the duck with polenta, my husband went for the baked cod. Both plates almost licked clean! Ditto desert (deconstructed Black Forest Gateaux and Chocolate Delice respectively) There was a large event on Saturday evening but once we closed the bathroom window which opened onto the courtyard we couldn't hear anything)

Breakfast both mornings were delicious - obviously proper butcher meat not cheap supermarket stuff. Bizarrely the highlight were the tomatoes 🤔 Properly cooked (not just popped under a grill for 30 seconds like you often get) and SOOOOO tasty. Everything else was lovely too - the Eggs Benedict being personal favourite, delicious Hollandaise Sauce.

Stayed in "Datsalrightgino" (I believe this room used to be Hennessy) one of the ground floor courtyard rooms. The outer door (shared with Bobs Worth) was a little loud when the neighbours were coming and going but otherwise very peaceful and quiet.
Only downsides were the bed wasn't central so that there was only a very small gap between the bed and the window wall and no plugs by the bedside.

The courtyard rooms overlook a lovely field behind the building which was full of rabbits and I spend a LOT of time with my arms resting on the window sill watching them and listening to the birdsong. Absolute heaven for this country girl currently trapped in outer London where birdsong can rarely be heard above the traffic noise.

We will DEFINITELY be back 🥰

The staff were very welcoming and customer service was 100%.
The only issue’s were the double cheese burger was very hard to eat , as soon as you picked it up it fell apart and it was very messy, the fried egg was over cooked and rubbery , the bun was dripping wet and soggy from not letting the patties rest , also the fish and chips , the chips looked amazing but they fell short , not crispy, theses need to be triple cooked.

This was my second stay at the Queen’s Arms. I saw it on Four in a Bed and first stayed here in 2022. It was a joy to return. Once again stayed in the splendid Wishing Well room with its wonderful jet bath. Lovely dinner, friendly staff and a brilliant nights sleep. Only thing to mention is that the toilet seat refuses to stay up! The heater didn’t work but the staff immediately came to the rescue and brought in two portable heaters. Will be back again soon. It’s one of my favourite places and set in beautiful countryside.

We have now stayed at The Queens Arms, East Garston for the third time, and once again it was excellent from start to finish. It is a lovely, welcoming pub with a really friendly atmosphere, and you can tell it is very well managed.

The service was great throughout our stay, and all of the staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. We also really appreciated how dog friendly it is our dogs, Luna and Lola, were made to feel very welcome too, which always makes such a difference.

The food was amazing, both at lunch and in the evening, and very reasonably priced for the quality. Breakfast was also excellent, with a full cooked option, freshly brewed coffee and a very good range for vegetarians.

There is ample parking, and the outside area is a real bonus, especially with the heating if you want to enjoy drinks outdoors.

Overall, it is one of those places that feels effortless as a guest, but only because everything is run so well behind the scenes. We always enjoy staying here and will definitely be returning again.

If you want, I can also do a slightly shorter, more natural-sounding version that feels even more like a TripAdvisor post written casually by a guest.

The pub managed to accommodate a group of 13 (plus dog) at 6 days notice. All the staff were excellent, very welcoming and we didn't have to wait for food or drinks. The menu offered exiting additions to normal pub fare - and everything we tasted was delicious. Lovely location (even in the rain) and a warm atmosphere in a traditional village pub. We stayed longer than planned to watch the rugby with a few extra pints.

I loved the quiet upstairs room. No noise from the car park or pub that I could hear. Beautiful view of horses and a tranquil village. The lighting was probably the best ever. Switches at door and bed. Plenty of light for reading. The bathroom light has a blue glow for about 5 minutes, I suppose so you can find your way to bed. Passage lights are off normally but respond to movement well. Bed is comfortable and kettle and coffee supplies left nothing to be desired.

This is a fantastic place. Absolutely incredible food, especially the scallops and the rump steak. Friendly staff and great service. We will be back!

We had the Garden Room to ourselves (party of 25) for a Christmas Lunch. Parking was easy, food and service were excellent. We'll be back!

Been to The Queens this evening, food was great fish and chips yum.Was served by a delightful young lady named Eva who truly made our evening .

Quick mid-week lunch, all AOK. Simple straight-forward menu, food was good, decent portion sizes and hot. A bit of a wait for our food given that it was not busy but not unacceptable. Friendly staff.

Very pleasant staff with evening meal and good breakfast. Rooms are pretty good and bed was comfortable.

My husband and I had an overnight stay at The Queens Arms. Lovely rural location with friendly staff and excellent food. It was a Saturday night and the bar and restaurant were buzzing - we loved it! Very comfortable bed.

The room was clean, but it is an old property and your first impressions of your choice of overnight stay are not good. Dinner and Breakfast were very good.

Our stay at the Queen's was up to their usual high standards. Very friendly helpful staff.

I stayed here to watch the Perseids meteor shower because it’s in the middle of nowhere and I’ve stayed here before. Unfortunately they ended up having a lock in at the pub which didn’t end until 2:15am meaning all the lights were on and I couldn’t use the garden to look for meteors as intended which was a shame. The food is pretty good but the staff didn’t really come over to so any check backs on my second night and I was trying to get there attention for ages to pay my bill. Once I did ask for the bill I was again left there waiting for another 15mins before I could get there attention to be able to pay. The sky tv in my room was broken and although I was offered a different room, the second room was so hot that I stuck with the first. The manager said he would look into the broken sky the next day while I was out but he didn’t appear to do so as it was still broken when I returned and nothing was said to me. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be staying here again.

Everything first rate - not had breakfast yet

I stayed for 4 days during the week so saw two different teams of staff, every single one of whom was exactly the right level of friendly, approachable and pleasantly conversational without ever being intrusive.
The food was excellent with a special mention for the mushroom risotto which was frankly gorgeous enough to end wars.
The beer was well kept, the internet worked and there was always a parking space.

Booked as part of a road trip in the area. It is in a very pretty village, a footpath by the side of the pub takes you to the main street. Pub, with rooms, is on the roadside but it is a quiet road, and this feels like a locals pub, so warm and welcoming inside.
Check-in was easy and my room was good.
Big bed with lovely linen, TV and hospitality tray in room very well stocked. Ironing board, hairdryer etc, all that you need for a peaceful stay. It is a quiet area but I think my room was over a boiler of some description (I was at the back of the pub) which caused a white noise at bedtime and in the morning. If you are noise sensitive then perhaps mention when booking.
Breakfast was very good, all freshly cooked and lovely restaurant area, bright and sunny. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
