Have visited this restaurant many times over the years, but I was disappointed this time and did not enjoy the experience as much as previously. We visited with friends all of whom were having the matched wines. Husband and I chose not to, and were offered drinks as soon as we sat down. Everyone else was not offered a drink and had to wait until their 3rd course which had paired wines. Extraordinary. I had champagne, but the glasses were a miserly 100 ml. Everyone knows that a 750 ml bottle of champagne yields 6 glasses at 125 ml, so to pour only 100 ml and charge £15 per glass is very mean. We were served the bread with a bit of hummus, but no plates. The bread was very oily (a focaccia I think). The rest of the food, as usual, was absolutely fantastic. But be under no illusion about the cheese course: when the menu says 'tasting of British cheeses' you cannot actually choose the cheese you have. I don't like soft cheeses. The waitress told me there were no hard cheeses, only soft ones, and one blue cheese. So I ended up with one 'blue' cheese but it was very mild and not a Roquefort/Stilton/St Augur. The final course, treacle & ginger with honey truffles included a nice sorbet and macaroon but the treacle sponge was far too heavy and cloying. It was inconsistent with the rest of the meal and most of us did not enjoy it. Our bill was nearly £300 for 2, without tip/service charge, and when I'm paying that sort of money I rather expect perfection. This was lacking on the night in question, I am sorry to say. I've given only 3 stars because I can't say it was very good. There is a reason this restaurant has lost its Michelin star.Thank you LauranWe have now revised your complaints, once again thank you for your comments Some of your points as you are aware and not quite the truth are they? We clearly state that we pour our aged Louis Roederer Champagne in 100ml glasses, you seemed quite happy as you had three glasses. Your guests declined champagne as they were having the 6 matched wines with their menu, all served in 100ml measures besides the dessert wine which is served as 50ml. Their first wine was served with the first starter, Diver Caught Orkney Scallop, we do not match wines to the amuse Bouche as this would take consumption to over one bottle 750ml per person. You were served bread on a sharing plate with three dips, humus as you say but also cods roe and butter bean with truffles. The bread is made twice a day and on Saturday it was Focaccio, each loaf is made with 250ml of extra virgin olive oil. We offer 5 cheeses on the "tasting of British Cheeses" from a choice of at least 9, we do not have hard such as Cheddar, but do offer semi hard such as Keltic Gold, in 20 years of running the restaurant we are rarely asked for hard cheeses as most guests prefer, soft , cured or semi hard. You declined all cheeses except the blue, preferring the more firm of two choices, Two Hoots. You listed 3 French Cheeses, we don't serve French Cheeses on our "tasting of British Cheeses" You were charged just for this portion not for a tasting plate. I note your comment on the treacle tart, and will certainly adjust this, if it needs to beYour bill at £300 for two although as you say it did not include tip/Services4tourism it did include the 8 beers your husband had, your numerous glasses of champagne and your port .....

First re-visit since opening after the refurbishment......new Tapas lunch menu. Although I wasn't 'excited' by the refurb, The Plume certainly looks better and fresher than it did previously.....I don't like the 'bright yellow' painted walls though!Tried the Tapas menu with friends - some dishes were really tasty while others 'not' - guess it's a bit 'hit or miss' on choices made versus likes/dislikes.Staff are lovely - attentive and helpful without being overbearing.

Perhaps the good folks of Hungerford, Newbury and round about have yet to hear about Blandys - four diners on a Saturday night would normally be a sign of a restaurant's quality but that is not the case at Blandys. Perhaps it is the narrow roads that put the local's off. or the fact it is located in an a retirement village. In any case, Blandys is very good. The bar and restaurant are not signposted from outside what is an impressive building, but once you find it, then what a quality establishment this is. The food matches - an excellent, tailored caesar salad and crab with langoustine aranciins were superb. A fillet steak cooked to perfection and a decent sole dish were very good. Wines are reasonably priced and service is enthusiastic if lacking a little polish. A great find but a shame it lacks atmosphere thanks to so few guests.

We had lunch, (mushroom omelette, chips and salad) lovely and hot. Fascinating pictures adorn the walls. A great selection of ice creams and soft ice cream (my favourite a 99). A full selection of delicious cakes and their huge meringues which I just had to have so it was boxed up and I had it on my return home. Staff were excellent.

We called the pub on the off chance of a table being available, to be informed we would be accommodated. On arrival the car park and restaurant were very busy, which is always a good sign. The welcome from the lady at the bar was very warming, whilst telling us we could have the next available table. We did have to wait half an hour or so, but the short wait would be worth it. Having witnessed the offerings arriving from the kitchen, we both plumped for traditional roasts, the beef and the pork. And wow, what a fantastic meal. Generous meat portions, beautiful vegetables and delightfully tasty gravy. It was delicious, a-maz-zing. Thank you very much to all the staff for our wonderful experience, credit well deserved.
