The Lock Stock & Barrel, Newbury

Steak was pretty much the best I’ve had in the UK so far (including proper silverware that allow you to cut into meat without a struggle), cooked exactly as a rare steak should be however I would have enjoyed it much more if the kids noise would have been reduced and the background music increased (obviously a parent problem there). Waited for more than 40 minutes for two dishes to come out knowing that the table was to be free within an hour and a half from arrival. Dog friendly pub with nice seating view outdoors towards the canal.

I always like "Lock Stock". Friendly staff, good beer, great selection of gin and other drinks, and... Dog friendly! What more can I ask for? Oh, the food is tasty too with a nice selection of small bites and bigger meals.

Nice to be outside eating again. Portions seemed quite small for the price. Great to be able to order and pay from the table. Queuing at a bar is so 2019. :)

Decent sized pub with some lovely scents wafting through the air (my visit coincided with mulled wine being dished out). Little outside seating area with a nice view of the canal

Impromptu visit, had an excellent toasted BLT and Fullers LP. Was really nice and friendly. Highly recommended
