Great place, lovely atmosphere. Had some sourdough pizzas and drinks.
Nice and relaxed atmosphere, attentive service but never overbearing.
Very glad we went to try it out and hope to be back again soon!

We went over Christmas and got moved from 2 different tables. Then ended up sitting outside where they had some lovely firepits, on a very cold evening, what more could you ask for, well for starters they could of light them.

Having been out of the country at Christmas and missed out on a roast turkey dinner, it was good to discover that the Shinfield Arms could fill the gap. Sunday lunch there is a busy time and inevitably some customers were pretty noisy, but the team found us a quiet spot by the window which is what we were after. We've been before and we will return!

The only thing to work on is to reduce the waiting time for food, especially when the pub is catering for large groups. Suggestions will be, upon booking time, let customers know there may be a longer wait than usual if they come at a certain time or advise the best time to come for the evening.

Visited mid week for the first time. The food and menu options were excellent. The experience was let down by slow service even though the restaurant did not look to be excessively busy. The room was also cold with us needing to keep coats on. This was despite there being a log burner next to our table that was not fired up. The service and temperature detracted from what was excellent food.

Good food and good service. Lovely selection on the menu. Much more than just a gastro pub. We will be back.

Great pub/restaurant. We chose this place on a whim as somewhere as a middle meet up venue. But discovered an absolute delight. Not only was food amazing but the service was incredible. Especially as we had due to traffic conditions arrived much later than planned.

Here for a Christmas dinner with friends and family.
Excellent food, great friendly staff, served in good time, nice hot and fresh food. Desserts were amazing. Food choice on menu for all tastes, including vegan, gluten free etc
Easy to locate and good parking space.
Highly recommended.
Will be back for more !

Not the best experience.
7 of us went here for a family meal.
3 of us had the fish and chips. 1 had ham egg and chips others had various.
After waiting nearly an hour for food after we ordered it came .Not worth eaiting for the fish was tasteless , the chips wilting and just warm, the ham was a cold block. The others seemed to enjoy what they had. A lot was not eaten. Really disappointing foody evening. Will not go again. Sooner eat at home cheaper and at least it would be a hot freshly cooked meal.

I do like the Shinfield Arms, I’m local and have been going here on and off for years. Used to be called The Black Boy (meaning black horse) & has a long history. Nice food here, presented well and a pleasant atmosphere. Staff reasonable amount of attention to the table taking orders and food arrival quite fast.

Visited here for our work team meal. Was pleasantly surprised as the venue itself was really nice and it had a decent sized car park at the rear. Food was great, service was really good and staff were all friendly. Would definitely visit again.

I have only ever been for drinks so far. I will be trying the food.

But its a beautiful place and service is always good and fast
