About Us

Our beautiful country inn is set in the heart of the idyllic Berkshire landscape, yet has excellent transport links by road. The Pheasant has an excellent reputation for exemplary service and guests travel far and wide to stay in one of our 14 bedrooms or to be wined & dined in the bar & restaurant.

The hardworking team are a mixture of people with great experience and also those just starting their journey in hospitality. If you have pub, restaurant, or hotel experience – and even if you don’t – then we’d love to have a chat with you about career opportunities at your local. General Manager Stephane is an excellent leader who runs a tight ship, with high standards and looks forward to meeting you very soon.
