About Two Watermills

On Monks Ln in Newbury, Two Watermills is a pub serving a large menu of standard fare alongside vegan options in a casual setting. Drinks and food orders are placed at the bar counter, where a queue often forms, and the venue gets busy on Sundays. The decor is kept clean and tidy throughout. It opens daily and takes walk-ins, though tables can also be booked ahead for occasions like birthdays. Outside, a beer garden extends the seating, and an outdoor play area gives children space to occupy themselves while the room fills up around them.

    “Rwan sorted out our table after a bit of a booking mix up (our fault). Very nicely done and all sorted in seconds even though it was a busy Sunday. Five stars”
  • Hannah Cooper
    “What you notice when you first walk in, is how well kept the decor is, very clean and tidy, and of course the staff are friendly and welcoming. Food was good and tasty, service prompt and although very busy felt we were being well looked after. There is a great number of parking spaces, and I liked the outdoor eating area was split into smoking and non-smoking areas. There is also a lovely area for young children to play. Overall would recommend for any occasion and family friendly.”
  • Ben West
    “Lovely pub restaurant!! Food was delicious and served quickly. Hats off to Jeremy Clarkson and the Hawkstone family for an incredible Hawkstone IPA and Beef Pie, easily the best pie I’ve had! Credit to Two Watermills for serving it. Staff were friendly, polite and willing to go the extra mile to please, even during a busy period, thank you to Josh our server for a great experience. Amenities include, outdoor play area for children, outdoor seating, beer garden and EV charging and more. There was also dog treats and water available by the front door. The place itself has a lovely vibe, very spacious including seating, clean and brilliantly decorated. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and hope to visit again soon.”

    “We dropped in for our anniversary meal and were pleasantly surprised. Although they were short on bar staff, once we were served and ordered our food this was brought out in 15-20 minutes and was very enjoyable. We had a 40% off voucher which was a bonus 😋. Sirloin cooked to perfection and huge fish & chips. Would definitely recommend the food 👌🏻 x”

Customer Review Summary

Food is the main draw, with hot, prompt plates reported repeatedly and a sirloin cooked to perfection, huge fish and chips, and a beef pie alongside a Hawkstone IPA singled out. Several reviewers describe friendly, welcoming staff looking after large birthday and farewell groups, and a regular praises the beer choice and varied menu. The recurring complaint is uneven service at busy times. Reviewers mention being short on bar staff, queuing at the bar to be seen, and walking to the bar to get drinks or chase items missing from a plate. One diner says a fillet steak ordered medium arrived well done and the reply was only an apology. Another says vegetables requested for a toddler with the starters never arrived and were promised with the mains instead. A different reviewer reports a booking mix up sorted in seconds on a busy Sunday, and one says the head chef held the door open for a father in a wheelchair as the family left.
