The Elephant Hotel, Pangbourne - Restaurants and Bars

The Elephant at Pangbourne has 2 dining areas. 'BaBar' has a bistro feel, serving excellent local produce in a simple and classic manner. The well-conditioned ales come from local breweries. The restaurant offers an elegant alternative. Choose from dining al fresco in the enclosed garden whilst you mull over the winners and losers of your croquet match or get dressed up and sip a 'Singapore sling' in the intimate cocktail lounge. Fine dining is at the heart of the Elephant experience. The team of talented chefs, headed by Neil Dowson (formerly of the Savoy and the Vineyard at Stockcross) offers simple and beautifully cooked British and local food at a reasonable price. They would like to be known for that alone. Fresh and seasonal British ingredients are sourced from local suppliers, all of whom are located within 50 miles of the hotel. Using local suppliers is at the heart of the hotel's ethos. Neil combines all ingredients to create an original and sumptuous menu, with dishes to suit every palate. The wine list had a well-balanced global selection and offers a distinguished list of sherries, ports, brandies, malt whiskies and eaux de vie, along with more classic aperitifs and other digestifs.
