Welli Deli
Homemade goodies for sale: sourdough bread daily; marmalade, jam, ketchup, chutney; sloe gin, eggs from their chickens, and much more.
Rooms
Four fabulous bedrooms are richly furnished with great attention to detail throughout - from homemade tea cosies and homemade biscuits to the rain showers, bathrobes and underfloor heating in the gorgeous bathrooms.
Original oak beams are impressive features in The Barn, The Hayloft and The Cart House rooms, housed in a beautifully converted barn behind the pub and the Old Cart Shed across the drive. The Apartment occupies the first floor of the pub and is a great space in which to relax and unwind, replete with a super king size bed and a sitting room with antique furnishings and a cast iron gas stove.
Simon and Jason have thought of everything to make your stay very comfortable. Expect to find Benchmark oak furniture; Gainsborough mattresses; Hungarian goose down; Malin & Goetz toiletries; mini-bar; loose-leaf tea; homemade shortbread; complimentary Times newspaper on request; Roberts radio; and Nespresso machines. Wake up refreshed for a fabulous breakfast and explore the local footpaths.
Restaurant & bar
The food and the ethos behind The Wellington Arms is all about the 'wow' factor, so make sure you book one of the prized tables to savour Jason's first-class modern British cooking.
Much of the produce used on the menu is organic and sourced within a five-mile radius of the pub. Herbs and vegetables are picked fresh from the pub's kitchen garden, eggs collected from the rare breed chickens that free-range in the field behind the pub - where rare-breed pigs and lambs are also reared, and honey from beehives is collected.
It may be more of a restaurant with rooms than a pub, but that
doesn't detract from the quality of drinks on offer at the bar.
Beer drinkers will find West Berkshire Good Old Boy and a guest
beer on tap and there's a good choice of everchanging cocktails
displayed on the blackboards. Mirroring the ethos of The Wellington
Arms as a whole, the wine list favours organic and small
producers.
