The story
At Goat On The Roof, the kitchen celebrates the best of British produce with a firm commitment to sustainability and local sourcing. Every dish is built around carefully selected, often foraged ingredients from trusted suppliers, ensuring each plate bursts with fresh, seasonal flavour. The menu changes regularly to reflect what’s at its peak, and the cooking has been described as "smart and thoughtful" by critic Jay Rayner. This approach earned the restaurant a Michelin Bib Gourmand, awarded for good quality, good value cooking.
The team’s dedication to the environment extends to the drinks list. The wine selection features over 150 bottles, all chosen for their organic and sustainable credentials. Each wine is picked to complement the food, and the team runs regular tasting events and wine courses, including WSET qualifications, in the upstairs wine bar.
Housed on Bridge Street in Newbury, the space also operates as a wine shop, and guests can book for lunch, dinner, or the popular quickie lunch offer. With its relaxed atmosphere, focus on British ingredients, and a wine list that rewards exploration, Goat On The Roof is a destination for anyone who values thoughtful, sustainable British cooking.
