Visited yesterday along with 30 of my family! The roast dinner was amazing and the waitress was so great with us all! I highly recommend the raspberry milkshake cheesecake! It's served with clotted cream and is the best pudding I've ever had!!
Never had a bad experience here. The staff are attentive and the food great. A great escape from any town or city bar for a decent country style pub. It's a chain. It still great.
A real gem of a pub/ restaurant, fantastic beer, wines, and food, and extremely well executed, a rare thing today, deserves to succeed, �
Great atmosphere 😊😊😊 good and happy serving staff😊 delicious food in reasonable price and good place to chill out and relax 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is a lovely pub with great food and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend 👍🏼
We had our FuntoSing choir Christmas party at the Golden Retriever Pub. The atmosphere was great and it nice and spacious to house our large group. The food was delicious and presented well. The service was good and the waiting staff very helpful. We all had an enjoyable time and there were no complaints about anything. I would definitely go there again. Well done all involved.
My aunt and I visited on a Sunday for a Sunday roast dinner. We had heard mixed reviews in the past but I like to try things for myself before making a review. We were extremely pleased with the food and service that we received. The roast dinners were very tasty and plentiful, also very fresh with seasonal vegetables. Plenty of meat gravy was provided. Each component on the dinner had its own taste and I think herbs were used on the potatoes and honey on the parsnips. We also both ordered the honey pot desert which was delicious and we both ate it all. The only reason iv given one star less for atmosphere is because the area of the restaurant where we was seated was very dark and was only lit by artificial light which we found made us feel claustrophobic so next time will ask to sit in another part. We will definitely be coming back!
A lovely country style pub with an amazing menu. The food was delicious and service was extremely attentive!
Dog friendly pub with extra complimentary treats available for your pooch!!
Lovely restaurant, great for after a walk at Swinley. The staff were so helpful and kind, bringing water bowls for both dogs. It’s set up in a really lovely dog friendly way. The food was good, steak sandwich and a honey pot desert, the latter definitely for sharing as it was so rich but delicious. Clean and cosy, will be lovely for winter!
Pie of the day (steak in red wine) slid down my throat like lube on a ski slope. Absolutely beautiful.
Just writing this makes me want to nip over there and spoon the pre cooked pies in the freezer until I'm nothing but a papa smurf looking corpse.
The Retriever is an English country pub located on the road Nine Mile Ride in Bracknell. The pub itself is well presented with ample seating inside and out with a closed marquee to the side of the pub. Staff and polite and friendly with the normal lagers on tap. The interior is spacious and relaxing with a nice vibe. The food is okay with a fairly good selection on the week day and Sunday menus. This pub is dog friendly and you’ll find quite a few people bring their four legged friends. Note this place gets very busy so it is best to book a table at least a couple weeks in advance.
We went for lunch on bank holiday Monday. We booked online in the morning, and glad we did as it was busy. Service was a bit slow but this was possibly because we were behind a wall and not in sight of bar/kitchen area.
It had a nice family friendly feel. Food was good, especially the desserts ☺️
Fantastic food and even better service from Engin. This guy works his socks off, is always so pleasant, friendly and attentive. Well done Engin…. You always provide great service. The Golden Retriever Pub is lucky to have you.
Thank you so much for THE most delicious and generous Sunday roast we've ever had. 7 adults and 2 toddlers in 4 generations of our family visited for the first time since our son and his family moved to Bracknell. Our waitress, Christina , was so attentive, efficient and helpful. Even though it was a Sunday and full, we weren't hurried at all. Our Great Grandmother generally eats little but ate far more today than she has done for years - she enjoyed it so much and will talk about it for months. So often pub roasts give the appearance of mass production and suffer by being accordingly- The vegetables and meats today were plentiful, well seasoned and cooked perfectly to our taste.. Yorkshire puddings were delightful.
Thank you to everyone at The Golden Retriever.
We will definitely return.
My partner and myself both recently celebrated our birthdays and decided to have a joint late celebration birthday meal together. We were so pleased we chose this place as the food was excellent (big portions) and the service from all the staff made us feel welcomed. My partner Sharon had the Rump lamb and myself had the trio of meat, both meals were delicious and plentiful. Would definitely recommend this place and “Will” make a return visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had lunch there today. The food is outstanding....but what is off-putting is there is not really a lunch menu, so its too much food for the middle of the day.
Ended up with the only sharing option. This was lovely.
And it's a very meat heavy menu. If you want a veggie pizza you are stuck with margarita as the only option left.
I'd like to go back for an evening as lots good, but just be prepared if you are going for lunch.
It was very busy due to an offer on food which did make parking rather difficult. However despite being very full, the staff were great and the service was fast. Engin was our waiter and was very attentive, polite and very helpful. The Retriever is my go to for good pub grub at reasonable prices.
Had lunch on 26th August 2023. The service we received from our waitress Hannah was very efficient and friendly, which made our lunch very enjoyable. We sat in the covered outside area which was nice enough. The food was good but did not quite match the service sorry. Have eaten here a few times over the years and overall never been disappointed to be fair. Thank you Hannah for making our lunch fun,
Really lovely pub.
Lots of outdoor seating but it started to rain whilst we were there so sat indoors. Large portion of indoor seating was table service, which I didn’t expect. We managed to sit in the bar area so was bar service.
Food came within 15-20 minutes of ordering. They forgot the fries we’d ordered but rectified that by giving us an extra portion, so no complaints here.
Fantastic father-daughter dinner.
Really busy despite the early seating, which had a great atmosphere. Prompt service and meals.
Excellent recommendations from Cristina. Very attentive and professional.
A wonderful country pub, went for a valentines day meal. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and a wonderful relaxing setting. The food was incredible as always, and the staff made sure we had a great time from the moment we arrived until we left.
Will return again for sure.
10/10! Beautiful pub with amazing staff who are so welcoming and helpful. Lovely atmosphere and the food was really nice too. Look forward to visiting again, would highly recommend a visit!!
Booked a table at 12pm on a Sunday for 1:15pm which was good.
Very friendly staff, great food, served in a promptly although seemed very busy.
Regular checks by Louby our waitress but no rush to finish our meal.
Had the Sunday Roast - Very good value for money. Will definitely visit again.
Lovely friendly service. The gentleman serving was amazing. We were a table of 16 having lunch before going to a family member's funeral. We arrived late and ordered our food at 13:10. The waiter did not get flustered or stressed. He took our orders, the kitchen served us all by 13:25 and the waiter then sorted out all our individual payments with a smile. The food was delicious and our waiter was a saint
