Dundas Arms - West Berkshire

We had a lovely few nights at The Dundas Arms. Matty and Sam were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere in the dining room with the log fire was fantastic. The service was amazing, and the portion sizes were just right. Breakfast was also very nice. Our room had a view of the canal and a small private outdoor space, which was a lovely touch. The room had tea and coffee making facilities, a comfortable bed, and more than one comfortable chair, which was a nice bonus. The only issue was that the shower took a while to warm up, but we didn't let it spoil our stay. We will definitely book again in the future. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

What a find, The Dundas Arms is a hidden gem. It is easy to find, situated just off the A4, in a lovely little village, which boasts a river, canal and train line. The train takes you straight to Paddington Station, ideal for a day out without the car. There are plenty of walks around the pub, either down the canal or through the village and over the public footpaths. Amenities in Kintbury is a small convenience store, bakery and hairdresser. There is also another pub, which appears to specialise in Thai food. The main A4 is convenient for both Hungerford and Newbury. Highclere Castle is only 25 minutes away and is well worth a visit. The pub itself is charming, full of character and has a lovely atmosphere. Plenty of seating outside, it the weathet allows. The pub is clean and looked after, with a good selection of ales, wine and cocktails. The rooms are spacious, quiet and well decorated, we had a lovely terrace outside, but unfortunately we were unable to use, due to the weather. The room had the usual extras plus cotton buds, cotton pads, sewing kit, feminine essentials and ear plugs. Even the drinks tray had a good selection of teas, filter coffees, ice bucket with tongs and cafetiere. Milk was fresh in a little jug, which you obtained from the bar, no UHT, which was a lovely touch. The staff were so friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for you. There were short staffed the first day we were there and it was very busy. However, their new Manager was brilliant and could definitely multi task, until more staff arrived. The food was excellent and possibly the best I have tasted in a pub before. It was all freshly cooked, local ingredients and cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend The Dundas Arms and we will be returning. Thank you to all for making our 2 day stay so memorable.

Came here with our friends for Sunday Roast ,One barman who wasn’t the quickest person serving absolute ridiculous, Queued for 20minutes to get a drink, asked the young girl who was taken the orders if someone else could help serve, she just looked at me not even replying, outside tables wasn’t cleared so we had to clear the table ourselves. We had ordered all Food together, our friends were still waiting for their dinner to be brought out, we actually had eaten ours before they got there’s, wasn’t enjoyable because of this, I was embarrassed because I had recommended this pub

Second excellent visit to the Dundas. The first time on a lovely day last September; this time on a very wet day in May. Great efforts have been made to protect diners in inclement weather on the terrace where we sat. Service was perfect with just as much help as we needed. All in all a lovely Sunday lunch for a family meeting up for the first time since September travelling from Cardiif and London. Well worth the trip. Thanks

Good service from App on your phone, poor choice of food, ran out of Sunday Lunch at 3.45pm ! They need to prepare more food, very disappointing.
