We have just returned from a meal at the Berkshire arms in Midgham, we live locally and had my parents down so thoughjt we would go out for sunday lunch. We chose The Berkshire arms as you don't have to book and didn't think we would get in anywhere thats nice. We have eaten here a few times and have never had an enjoyable experience, however thought we would give it one more chance. Where do i start??!!
