Goring Dining Room

I am fortunate enough to live close by the Goring, and am therefore a regular visitor. It is a well run privately owned family hotel.

I have dined in the bar, on the terrace and also in the main dining room (recently refurbished by Lord Lindley). I have yet to be disappointed with the traditional british fare on offer.

The Beef Wellington is the best I have ever tasted. You can accompany this with reasonably priced (for a hotel) wine from their extensive cellar. I have always encountered impeccable service.

I see one review on here ranked the food as a zero after admitting walking out without eating - go figure! All I can say is give this place a try; based on my regular experiences there, you will not be disappointed

The Punjab

I an an avid fan of Indian food and have been to this restaurant several times in recent years following a recommendation from a friend. I was not disappointed. I have thoroughly enjoyed many of the main courses, including several which are grandpa's special recipie and unique to the premises.

Thats not just mere advertising 'puff'; the restaurant has been in the same family ownership since the 1950's. My one criticism is that the choice of starters are a little on the limited side, but I usually ask them to let me have a smaller portion of one of the main course kebab dishes instead.

In summary, there are better Indian restaurants out there but this one in my opinion ranks pretty highly.
