The Elephant at the Market, Newbury

The Elephant at the Market has a tile floored seating area down a step at the front of the pub and the serving counter runs up the left-hand wall to a pizza counter at the rear. The old courtyard up the right rear is now covered with the front section being under a skylight. Here you will find a mix of high and standard tables as well as some booth seating. There’s a bit of an Elephant theme and I spotted one hidden up on a beam under the skylight. This feels like somewhere you may stop for a quick drink while shopping, so yes it’s a bit crap. The high pitched young’uns music meant that I left earlier than I probably would have done.

This place is very dirty had the misfortune staying here 3 nights the bar area and the rooms are very dirty and dusty you can write your name in the dust everywhere in the place just had a one warm pint on the Sunday when we arrived the other times we went in there was not many in when all the other pubs were busy. Now for our room God help anyone who has room 15 that was like the pub very dusty stayed 3 night room service once told them the sink was blocked they said they new but had to cut back on repairs. The cleaner came to do our room just after we had breakfast stood at the door with a fag in her hand said she would call back but never did she saw us go out she was sat in the beer garden with other staff members all were faging it would never stay in a Marstons pub again.

Interior as described below. The beer selection was also the same.
