Newbury, The Furze Bush Inn serves lunches and dinners every day, with a restaurant, seating up to 80. It makes an ideal venue for many functions. The Furze Bush Inn is a traditional country inn, dating back to the early 19th century and sitting in extensive gardens just over the county boundary in North Hampshire. The original buildings have been extended to include a large restaurant and comfortable hotel accommodation, while the bars retain the charm of a country inn. The Furze Bush Inn has 10 en-suite, air- conditioned hotel rooms with Egyptian cotton linen. Weddings, funerals and corporate dinners, The Furze Bush Inn can cater for them all. It also has a small conference room (boardroom style) with room for up to 15 delegates. The bars are open all day, everyday and they even serve food all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. Over the Christmas period the inn will be open every day, except Christmas Day, for food and drinks.
