  “This place was awesome. Excellent gluten free options for my families allergies and the servers were very good at answering questions or finding the answers. Food was tasty and plentiful while the service was fairly quick. Manager came over 1-2 times to check on us and our food. Gluten free sticky toffee pudding was my wife’s highlight. We’ll be back.”

  “Good Parking and Nice friendly welcome, from the 3 staff we saw. Cosy Corner Table. Ordered Drinks and then Halloumi in Batter (very good and better than breadcrumbs variety), along with Pan Fried Mushrooms topped with Stilton. We then had an 8oz and 16oz steak with proper chips, onion rings, mushrooms and home made coleslaw along with Pepper Sauce. The food was great from start to end. Sadly we were too full for desert but I looked to see what they had and I could have chosen at least 4 different ones. All in all a very nice lunch. Perhaps next time I'd go for a light bite and have desert, but certainly there will be a next time.”

  “Lived in highworth for 5 years and came last night for our first visit. The Curry was lovely and fresh, the only reason we knocked a star off is that husband felt the nann bread could have been bigger and that it could have been served with a poppadom. Big pot of mango chutney which was barely touched , he wouldn't usually dip a nann bread in it but couldn't figure out what other purpose it had being on the dish with no poppadom. I had the hunters chicken with a side of onion rings and was blown away at the portion size of them both. I think I managed half and was stuffed. Not that its a bad thing but felt very wasteful leaving it. Homemade coleslaw was delicious. I also had lemon meringue pie and the server was really lovely and warmed it up for me. (although only recently learned they are served chilled) Very grateful for being so accommodating with my request. We will be back again as there seems to be so many other things we want to try on the menu. We had a starter to share, 2 rounds of drinks, mains, sides and 1 dessert total was £74. Very good value”

  “Lovely spontaneous visit to The Freke - Grill on the Hill last night. Thought we’d go somewhere we’ve talked about for years but not been to since I was a kid! Food was fantastic - high quality sourced meat with excellent taste and touches different to your standard pub: like adding chorizo and herbs to cheesy garlic bread! Yum! Not to mention the dirty fries! Needless to stay we were stuffed at the end but in the most satisfying way! Lovely staff and service too!”

  “It's so important to support your local pubs because when they're gone they're gone! We were a table of four and a dog, one of our party had previously visited various establishments to see which one to book that are dog friendly and upon entering The Freke Arms was greeted with warmth and friendliness, that sealed the deal and we'reso glad that he did. The landlords Helen and Steve made us feel so welcome, the food was hot, excellent and so well cooked, thank you chef! Our three cheesecake desserts were amazing, so so good, one of our party asked for extra ice cream with his dessert and it came with three huge scoops of ice cream instead of custard. Good food, great service, warm and friendly atmosphere, what's not to like. We would definitely return there. Thank you x”

  “The environment is great and welcoming. A good order is nachos with chili. but rather ask the staff about the paranormal activities that occur there. This will make your experience unique.”

  “Haven't been to this pub in 15 years, very pleased I went back. The pub is cosy in feel with very friendly and attentive staff. The pub is dog friendly and offers treats so the dog feels involved in the experience. The food was reasonably priced and homemade, it was all very tasty and the portions were huge. There is also a good few options for vegetarians. The Freke dogs are especially good. This pub is definitely worth a visit and we will definitely be returning in the the near future. Thank you to all the staff especially!”

  “Got to say that the Freke Arms has taken a turn for the better.Before it was looking a bit tired but looks so much better since the change of ownership.I had the rump steak and it was perfect, our only critiscism was the steak ale bacon and stilton combination didn't in our opinion quite work. Presentation for both meals was supurb. Overall the menu is excellent and so was value for money. All the staff were very attentive and we will definitely return”
