The Bunk Inn Hotel

Curridge, Thatcham, Berkshire

Situated on the outskirts of Curridge, a quiet little village a stone’s throw from Newbury, The Bunk Inn is just the place for a spot of rest and relaxation after an afternoon at the races. The dining room is intimate and stylish, with muted Farrow & Ball paintwork and French doors leading to a sunny garden, where barbecues are held at weekends. Each plate is impeccably designed in terms of flavour, texture and colour. Light liver mousse contrasts beautifully with rich duck, while the deconstructed strawberry cheesecake is accompanied by a delicate bubble of jelly encased in white chocolate. A relaxing hideaway with a touch of luxury, and excellent food. IL. Doubles from £105.
