A bucolic location across the road from a cricket pitch and duck pond and close to the Ridgeway, this pub's interior is old fashioned and unspoilt in just the right way. The only downside is common to these parts in that Green King's takeover of Morland has left the pub with an uninteresting selection of beers in the extreme. Not especially friendly either - the landlord and staff displaying the level of neighbourliness one would expect given the recent Brexit vote.

Lovely location just opposite the cricket pitch and near the duck pond! Good beers and good non-pretentious food. Landlord not over-exubriant but friendly nevertheless. Considering it's in such a twee village and location prices are reasonable. Worth a visit but try not to park your car on the drive directly outside where folks are eating and watching the cricket, as some ignoramuses do. Try the road instead.

August 2009 - stopped for a bite to eat on lovely sunny day - an ideal place to sit and watch village life passing by - pond, cricket pitch, tennis court opposite - farm vehicles up and down country lanes. Morlands bitter in good condition.

Idyllic location, on a quiet road with cricket being played opposite - in between showers. The beer was good; we didn't get to try the food as annoyingly we were told on the phone that lunch was served until 3pm but when we got there after a long bike ride the kitchen had apparently closed at 2:30! Perhaps we should have been more smartly dressed...

Feel exactly the same as your Jul 05 reviewer - very pleasant pub, superb burger and decent beer. Excellent walks nearby. Highly recommended.

Beautiful pub. Idealic setting and well used by the villagers. Look after this pub residents of West Ilsley, and keep your eyes on the Greedy King !

Very pleasant pub. Great location opposite the pond and cricket pitch. Very good food (superb burger - absolutely superb), and decent beer. Lovely bar staff, and excellant walks nearby. Highly recommended all round.
