Bel & The Dragon - Kingsclere

A sweet place, great choice of drinks on offer and the food menu was very good indeed. I was going to have a main, but because of the choice my colleague and I ordered starters, mains and shared a dessert for two. Very chilled atmosphere. Well worth the visit.

What a fantastic place the Bel and Dragon is. Primarily it is a pub / restaurant but it also offers a number of really tastefully decorated rooms and also a separate guest lounge.|I was there for a wedding and cannot fault the tireless work of Darren, Luke and all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they really did all go the extra mile.|An extra shoutout has to go to the chefs and the kitchen team. The food was generous, delicious and very well presented. The high standard was maintained throughout the wedding breakfast, which served over 60 people.|The interior of the pub is really nicely done. There’s a great bar area and a really great rear garden space which is filled with tables and chairs and a super location to catch the afternoon sunshine.|All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable and tip top experience. |If you’re in or nearby the beautiful village of Kingsclere, you won’t go far wrong visiting or even staying here.

We both had a roast which came out and it wasn’t large, potatoes were very undercooked, there was only a tiny amount of gravy given. Horseradish was extremely hot (even for me who loves horseradish) and would benefit from a little cream. Beef was ok, overall very underwhelming so felt the cost was very steep. Music in the garden was loud and singer was out of key so could’ve been better. Roast and two pints cost us over £70 for two of us and with the meal being so poor, we left feeling disappointed.

A Perfect Sunday Lunch Experience! We had a truly fantastic Sunday lunch experience with my wife and our 3-year-old son. From the moment we arrived, the ambience was warm and welcoming – just the right mix of relaxed and refined, perfect for a family outing. The food was absolutely delicious! The monkfish starter was beautifully cooked and packed with flavor, and the roast beef was hands-down one of the best we've had – tender, rich, and perfectly complemented by all the trimmings. A huge thank you to the lovely team, especially Elle and (I believe his name was) Harry – both were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so well looked after. And a special shoutout to Luke, the General Manager, for running such a fantastic restaurant. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-quality Sunday roast in a lovely setting. We will definitely be back!

Running late for a wedding and with the restaurant already very busy, the staff bent over backwards to ensure we were served in double-quick time. The place is buzzy, our room was perfect and the staff are well-trained. An excellent place to stay.

This was our second stay at a Bel & The Dragon pub and they have both been lovely (the other was in Wendover). The staff are always really friendly, the pubs are welcoming and the food is great. The rooms have been beautifully decorated and clean, with all the hot drink amenities you need, as well as some delicious chocolates and a taster of sloe gin for a night cap. At this pub there is even an upstairs 'snug'/ lounge area just for guests staying over, with games and whiskey to sample. We really enjoyed our stay here!

I stayed at the Bel & Dragon for the first time last night and loved it. The rooms are clean, well furnished and the staff were very friendly. I was too hungover this morning to partake in breakfast but will rectify this on my next visit.

Pleasant service and food OK, although portions very small, but £15 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc is totally exaggerated. Unfortunately I didn't notice the price on the menu when I ordered. Coming from France, obviously I find this unbelievably expensive. You can get a bottle in most places for €25 😂
