Review on WinePress Restaurant

The award-winning WinePress Restaurant at Newbury is part of the Donnington Valley Hotel and Golf Course, one of Sir Peter Michael's fine collection of hotel restaurants including The Vineyard at Stockcross, the Peter Michael Winery in California and the Vineyard Cellars where you can buy wines on-line from 35 exclusive wineries.

Set amongst the beautiful Berkshire countryside, and within easy reach of Heathrow and London, the WinePress Restaurant offers an intimate, yet informal atmosphere where guests can enjoy superb dishes complemented by wine from an excellent cellar or choose from 30 wines by the glass. With its ballustraded gallery and conservatory area, it provides the perfect setting for either, an informal meal, a business dinner or a special occasion.

Dining at the Wine Press will be a relaxing experience, embodying the unwavering quality for which it is justly famous. The WinePress menu created by Head Chef Darren Booker-Wilson offers a choice of both modern and traditional dishes. Diners choose from one menu, selecting one, two or three courses at a fixed price. The lunchtime Market Menu is particularly good value.
