Went to Cafe Rouge for New Years eve meal. Menu included good choices and was very good value for New Year. Was able to pre-order all meals and drinks (for 8) - service was also good

Quite frankly this is one of the most poorly managed cafe rouges I have ever been to. The staff aren?t friendly and don?t make you feel welcome. The gentleman working (Vladimir I believe is his name?) was rude, not friendly and just didn?t belong. We miss Bryan and the amazing staff he had.. they always had a smile and knew how to run a restaurant properly! Not like now... apart from the odd waiting staff who are lovely! Food will go down now management staff have.. don?t recommend.

My wife and I used our Travelzoo voucher for lunch at Cafe Rouge. We use regularly and am aware of the quality of food and professional service. Once again, we were not disappointed. A friendly welcome from Vladimir, seats by the window, an high quality well-cooked food. My wife had Beef Bourgeon, I had Duck, both well cooked and presented. Highly recommended

Last minute meal in Newbury We decided on cafe rouge as we could use our taste card on a Sunday,where as most places don?t do it on a Sunday Myself and my partner and our mum had a nice relaxing meal in the newbury cafe rouge. The manager and the waiter didn?t rush us and we just went for the main meals all round. I had a rump steak cooked rare and this was spot on,not over cooked And the quality of the steak was excellent The only thing I would say negative about The evening was that the restaurant wasn?t the warmest It had a bit of a chill in the air. Thanks again for a lovely relaxing meal

We came to cafe rouge for a very rare date night tonight. We arrived at 6.15 (table booked). We were served both starter and main and finished by 7.15. It felt so rushed. The starter must have come out within only a few minutes, and although I know it?s not great to have delayed service, this really made us feel like they wanted us out the door. We then decided to go and sit at the bar for another drink as we had an hour until our train home, but in 30 mins no one was around or made eye contact for us to order one, so we asked for the bill, paid and left. I have to say however the food was gorgeous and have always been pleased with this restaurant before. Just a shame tonight, as we rarely get a meal our together.

My wife and I chose to come here for our date night and had a lovely time. Attentive but not pushy staff all well presented. Fabulous food. I had the rump steak and salad. Great value and a great all round experience.

We were 3 for afternoon tea - one warm half a sandwich (Croque Monsieur or mushroom sandwich), the smallest scones in the world, 4 tiny pieces of cake! Service very slow. Pots of tea were extra! A very disappointing afternoon tea and not one to recommend.....

We had the conventional afternoon high tea. SO good. No sandwiches, what a lovely alternative to usual places. The croque for savoury was delicious. Scone was warm! Cakes delicious. Eat slowly to savour and it's filling. Lovely service on top of it. I would choose this again over other places, for gifts as well.

don't bother with the vegan afternoon tea at Café Rouge! after booking a week in advance and saying I wanted vegan cream tea for 4 people , we got there and they had no soya milk. My daughter had to go to the shop and buy some and then the scones were served with yucky margarine and not plant based cream. Not recommended.

Been here a few times. Staff are very polite and professional. Restaurant is very clean and food is great. Very easy location to get to with parking literally seconds away.

Just what was wanted after walking the towpath from Thatcham. Attentive service, great food and drink, especially the citron presse.
