One of the nicest spoons I have ever been in.Staff keep the place clean and tidy, food is lovely and actually hot (which is rare for spoons I find).Food came out quickly, staff were very pleasant.

We stopped here on route to our holiday for a lovely full English breakfast. The large breakfast more than met our needs, and the staff were very accommodating in letting me change the eggs for something else.

Family had lunch in the Hatchet couple days ago while visiting friends in Newbury. Really nice pub, friendly service, child friendly. Great outdoor area. Recommend!

When will I learn to check when booking a wetherspoons hotel. No lift. No disabled access to the upstairs. Stairs narrow and quite steep. Room 105. Small double. OK for one night. No parking on site but plenty in and around the pub.

Stayed in room 105 which was sold as a double but was not even big enough for a single. There was a wooden fixture in the corner which held a folded ironing board impossible to use because there was no space to errect it. There was an intermittent noise every two minutes throughout the night from an air-conditioning unit. There was a strong smell of mould on the very steep steps coming up to the hotel area from the pub.

It's a Weatherspoons. You know what you're getting, which is great prices, on well known brands and an eclectic clientele in an interesting building. Can't go wrong.We did not have food.

Quite quiet on a Sunday early evening. Service very quick and polite staff throughout our meal.Will be coming back.Parking: We are not from this area, and all parking seems to be rather high in Newbury. £3.90 for 3 hrs. I think is too much.

Wonderful beer garden. Food was adequate, but cutlery seemed to be a bit of a luxury item. However, the worst toilets I?ve ever experienced in a pub since the 1990?s in a student bar. Savage, filthy, blocked and full of human excrement .

£1.50 unlimited hot drink refills, free wifi and plenty of usb and wall sockets? Comfy seats by big windows, this place is great for working/ reading during the day.Cheap food and cocktails, it gets wild in the evenings. A diverse place for working from home?ers, families, party goers and hard core drunks, this place is perfect for pretty much everyone.Wheelchair accessibility: Step free access, ramps, accessible toilet open space tor wheelchair users/mobility scooters and prams.

My Whetherspoons experience. The more drunk you get the better it is!!....? The food is mediocre...it used to be quite good in the hatchet but not so much now! Atmosphere is related to alcohol consumption!

Great location, right in the town centre. Room was large, clean and well equipped. Good value for money. Downsides: * No car park so you have to pay for a public one out the back * It's in a Spoons so you could get locked out at closing time * Breakfast was not included * Lots of stairs and no lift

Stayed here whilst visiting nearby Highclere Castle. Our room was in the quaint cottage in the beer garden. Room was big and benefitted from Air-Con. Decor was ok but could do with a little bit of a tidy. Was worried about nice from the beer garden but room was completely quiet and we had a great nights sleep. Staff were very friendly and the drinks prices were incredible! Can't remember the last time I bought a pint for less than £2.50! Overall great stay for the price. Tip if you are bringing a car: 24 hours parking can be had at the nearby Sainsburys car park for £3 (Booked on JustPark.com)

Visited this place during my trip to Newbury. Good atmosphere and friendly crowd. It's open till midnight or a bit beyond as well. I was disappointed with their tap beer - tasted watery. But the good was great and great value for money.
