I love this place. Friendly, helpful staff, nice atmosphere, good food, and plenty of it. Had a set meal for two and the food just kept coming. Make sure you're hungry before visiting this place!

Incredible food and excellent friendly service. Have been coming back year after year for a decade for the set menu. It’s a shame it’s not busier.

We ordered the set menu for four. Starters, duck course followed by mains. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place.

We have been frequenting Szechuan Inn over the past 5 years and it has not let us down on each and every occasion. Service par excellence! I have not posted the photo of main dish but my firm favourite remains Bok Choy in garlic & oyster sauce with steamed rice.

My friend had organised a meal out with other friends to celebrate my birthday... The place was extremely busy. Chose food from set menu to cater for number in our party. Took photos of food as it was served..... It was wonderful !!

This restaurant can't get enough praise for their food and atmosphere . Every dish was cooked fresh and the tastes were amazing. The restaurant is clean and tidy with lots of space around the tables so you don't feel crammed in. The waiters are all kind and make your custom feel valued. Also, there is no service charge ! I have been twice and will return soon.

Our first visit to this fine establishment. After entering Thatcham from Newbury concerned we had somehow taken a wrong turn into Gaza from Israel we located the restaurant. It was super busy, a good sign, but we were politely received despite our lack of booking. We had mixed, Aromatic Duck and then our mains. Everything was delicious and the arrival of the food nicely spaced and not rushed. All the staff were attentive and the atmosphere was vibrant, kicking for a Saturday night. Not a place for romantics so much but if you’re after a bit of a bubble and enjoy people watching whilst having your nosh it’s the place for you. Escaping Thatcham at turn out time was interesting but it won’t put us off returning. A special mention goes out for the owners Barnet. Yeh baby.
