The Dew Pond

14th August 2026

Set in the rural hamlet of Old Burghclere and surrounded by scenic countryside, The Dew Pond offers a relaxing and intimate atmosphere. Once a pair of 16th century cottages, the building retains its oak beams and fireplace from the original structure, bringing a little rustic charm to the interior. From the oak flooring to the crisp linen, the fine art to the scenery, great care is taken to create a comfortable ambience with an emphasis on high quality.
The restaurant is family run by Keith and Julie Marshall. Classically trained, Keith develops French-inspired dishes that use the finest quality locally sourced ingredients. The menus change seasonally to include ingredients when they are at their absolute best.
Weather permitting, drinks will be served in the pretty, adjoining garden which enjoys sweeping views of Watership Down, Beacon Hill and, of course, the dew pond from which the restaurant takes its name.
