The Crab, Chieveley, Berks.

Hi all,

I took the lovely Nicky down to The Crab last evening. I booked the Moroccan-themed La Mamoumia room, c/w private garden and hot tub. The service was superb, prices reasonable, food utterly delicious. If you like fish, look no further. I actually don't, so whilst Nicky found herself in marine paradise I throughly enjoyed my belly pork starter and Lamb main. I also cannot recall a better full-English breakfast anywhere.
They have won a string of awards over the years yet clearly continue to work very hard to maintain their formidable reputation.
The rooms are themed and very different. Check out the website.
The helipad is a small grass triangle behind the car park to the south. There is no H or windsock. I have suggested to the management that these would be a welcome addition.
Full marks to the Crab, go check it out!
