Welcome to The Pheasant

Landlord Lewis and his mighty, merry team are ready and waiting to welcome you to The Pheasant

Sitting on the edge of Shefford Woodlands and flaunting an Instagram-worthy view over Berkshire’s fabulous Valley of the Racehorse, our unabashedly historic country inn has been dishing out hospitality for a whopping 450 years.

Just moments away from the M4, our 14 bedrooms are your haven from the weary road. Stick around and explore local gems like Highclere Castle, Avebury Stone Circles, and the North Wessex Downs—because who doesn’t love a designated wonderland for walkers?

Horse racing is at the heart of what we’re about, and has been for a millennia or two (give or take). We’re the perfect place to stay after a day visiting the famous Newbury Racecourse.

Whether you’re up for a hearty feast from our seasonal, British menu or just keen to plop onto a vintage leather bar stool in our snug with a pint, rest assured, the fire will be crackling, and the welcome as warm as a cosy blanket.

And after a fall filled with rugby madness, get ready to redirect your attention to the most magical time of the year – Christmas! Yep, you guessed it, we’re talking about The Pheasant being the ultimate festive HQ. Feast your eyes on our Christmas menus that are practically begging you to say “yes” to that third course, and hey, why not throw your Christmas party shenanigans our way? The more, the merrier. Cheers to a season of good vibes and even better eats.

Hotel Bedrooms

Ready to cosy up in the lap of luxury? Our Egyptian cotton bed linens and Hypnos mattresses make for a formidable pair when it comes to trying to convince yourself out of bed in the morning (don’t worry, we offer late checkout).

Our plush furnishings are the extra sprinkle of comfort magic. Elegant fluted armchairs, buttoned ottomans, and hand-picked artwork to perfectly match the vibe of each unique room. Our 14 beautiful bedrooms are like a gallery of comfort and style.

So, whether you’re on a countryside staycation or just breezing through, our inn isn’t just a place to crash – it’s the Berkshire staycation spot
