Find refreshment

You are here: Home » Things to do » Find refreshment

There are a number of Trust tearooms along the canal to stop and get refreshment. Spend time by the water enjoying some tea and cake. You can find out more about what each offers and their location below.

Aldermaston tearooms

Aldermaston Wharf, RG7 4JS

The only canalside cafe east of Newbury. Siobhan and Liz are getting ready to open for the season and will do a great job of keeping walkers and visitors supplied with great coffee and delicious lunches when they do!

Teashop by the canal

Newbury Wharf, RG14 5AS

Ivana and Paul Barclay have been working their magic at the Stone Building on Newbury Wharf for more than 6 years. Quaint and cosy inside, and plenty of canalside seating outside, Newbury is a great place for breakfast, lunch or a quick coffee while you watch the canal go by.
