About Cunning Man

Welcome to the Cunning Man, a beautiful country pub and restaurant in Burghfield Bridge, Berkshire. We’re the perfect spot for any occasion or escape.

Cunning Man Description

Whether you’re looking for a long, lazy lunch with family, or a spontaneous mid-week treat with friends, we’ve got you covered. Our beautiful pub and restaurant combines the cosy, rustic features of the countryside with delicious, contemporary food and drink.

Our menus change seasonally to offer you the very best, fresh ingredients. And when it comes to refreshment, our fridges are fully stocked with plenty to choose from, including countryside ciders, cask ales, prosecco and carefully selected wines.

This beautiful thatched-roof pub gets its unusual name from a local legend known as the ‘cunning man’ who was thought to be a good wizard that protected people from dark spirits. The original building has been impressively restored in its original countryside style following repeated flooding.

After a bite to eat with us, why not make a day of it and discover what’s beyond our walls, including the Kennet and Avon towpath – the perfect place to watch the narrow boats passing by.

As part of the Vintage Inns family, we’re proud of our heritage and welcoming service which ensures you’ll always receive the full Vintage treatment. So, sit back and relax while we take care of the rest. The countryside is calling.
