Welcome back! Opening hours

In the light of the latest announcements from the government, we continue to review how we best operate safely.

We are open at our cafe in Goring for take-away and eat-in drinks, cakes and savoury snacks Wednesday to Sunday 9:30am - 4pm. We are not currently taking bookings.

 

Our cafe at Harwell campus is now open 9am - 2pm, Mon - Fri for eat-in or take-away.

'Fill your freezer' menu

We’re launching a new approach to our “Fill your freezer” menu. Based on feedback from the community and seeing what works well we have created a new complete menu to increase the breadth of offering on an ongoing basis.

The new “Fill your freezer” menu is available now here. All dishes are prepared fresh for collection and home freezing. There is a minimum order quantity for each dish, but we can package up into smaller portion sizes for ease of home freezing and cooking.

Pierreponts in Goring

Opening hours:

We are currently open for takeaway and eat-in Wednesday to Sunday 9:30am - 4pm.

A few words on how it works in this world of Covid-19:

Please do use the sanitiser by the door.

Service is from the window. Please pop out to place your order. We will deliver to your table.

Please do not move chairs from other tables.

We are unable to have a one-way system for entry and exit, so please allow one another to pass safely on entering and exiting.

Please do not allow children to wander around the café.

Please keep dogs on leads.

If queuing for the toilet, please have consideration for others.

Our offering remains the same as has been since re-opening as a takeaway, i.e. tart and salad, baguettes, snacks, sweet treats, hot and cold drinks.

We’re sorry but we’re not taking bookings at the moment.

We’re trying this out. Please be patient as we work through this. We’re continually reviewing procedures, so things may change as we go forward.

Pierreponts @ the Quad on Harwell Campus

Our food

All our food is prepared on site by our chefs. We source all our ingredients from high quality, local (where possible) producers. Our breakfast and all day menu can be found here.

Sustainability

Running a sustainable service lies at the heart of what we do. Locality is key here; all of our ingredients are fresh and everything is sourced from as nearby as possible. Meats like our sausages and bacon come from the award-winning Vicars Game who only offer the highest quality produce. Fish is also brought in on a daily basis and when in season a local grower provides fruit and vegetables like baby chard and heritage tomatoes.

This ethos extends further than the food we serve, as we offer space for local designers and makers to sell pottery, handmade jewellery and all manner of gift items. We also participate in the village’s food festival as well as their arts and music festival, which happen on alternate years. We also make sure we’re on hand to provide a much needed energy boost in the form of flapjacks at the finish line of the Goring 10K, helping to raise significant funds for the local primary school.

If you’re after something more indulgent then our French toast with maple sauce and bananas could be for you. Or if it’s grains you want then our porridge or granola may be more up your street. Our smoothies and fresh juices prove ever popular as is does our lovingly prepared coffee.

Breakfast is served between 8am and 11:30am.
