Foodess' review of Queen’s Arms Hotel

Set in the Lambourn valley renowned for its equestrian association, Queen’s Arms is like an up-scale Hotel du Vin in terms of food (on a good day) with a menu similarly styled, whereas the décor is distinctly more classy. From a concise menu we had melt-in-the-mouth rib-eye’s cooked to order and a glass of red helped everything slip down rather well. They have managed to compile a modest number of wines into a pleasing eclectic mix at reasonable prices. Having discovered that it’s a good halfway house for meeting friends we’re heading back soon, and with rooms plus a warm welcome it looks like the ideal bolt-hole to get away from it all.
