| The Rose & Crown in Chilton | 1.5 miles/ 40 min easy walk | Very friendly but pretty small and will often struggle to cater for a group larger than 2-3. Will take bookings and often not busy at the weekend |
| The Pack Horse Inn | 2.5 miles/ 5 min drive | Gastro Pub, easy to drive to - straight down Newbury Rd, cross the round about then it's on the left. |
| Heart of Harwell | 3 miles/ 10 min drive | |
