Restaurants in Reading

Monty's Cafe

Soooooooo gooooodddd. Their cake is sooo nice. I would recommend to try their pistachio, and victorian sponge cake. But today I tried their cupcake as well, and it was beautiful. ??

Biryanish

I was craving Indian food and that is when I found Biryanish! The food was very good. And the service was amazing. Wish and Fatima are really sweet. We ordered starters, biryani,haleem and naan. Everything is amazing!

Pho

I really enjoyed the food I had in the restaurant and it was really filling and not too expensive. I will definitely refer my friends and family to this restaurant

Monkey Lounge

Amazing service, food is always brilliant and the staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the girl behind the bar that served me, Tilly, was extremely friendly and good to have a laugh with.

Playlist Live

we were served by Kelly, who was amazing!!!
her service was top tier! she always made sure we had drinks always checking up on us and she was hilarious!! i will definitely be coming again!!

Street Food Shack

We came here tonight for a family meal and sat at one of the little tables inside. We were really blown away by both quality of the food and the service. The place seems like mainly a takeaway place but if you eat in they bring you proper cutlery and serving dishes. The food is so good, the best Mexican I've had in years and years, maybe the best ever? The service was so warm, the woman working their offered our son tastes of the food when we said we were worried about spice. He loved the chicken! She also thoughtfully brought us over different pots of sauces for us to try- and she was right they were so good! The owner came and chatted to us and told us about how he prepped the beef 3 days in advance ( and honestly you can tell this from the flavours and how tender it is) . We will definitely be back and will be telling friends about this gem of a place.

Shree Krishna Vada Pav (SKVP) Reading

Big shoutout to the SKVP team, especially Gopi!

We recently ordered a bunch of food for a corporate event, and I was really impressed. Everything was packed perfectly and arrived warm, which was a nice surprise. The flavors were fantastic, and everyone loved the food. The samosas were a huge hit, and the pav bhaji was not only delicious but also well-packaged. And let’s not forget the sweet gulab jamun—so tasty! Huge thanks to Gopi for being so accommodating with all the dietary needs and for offering discounts along with timely delivery. Really appreciate it!

Las Iguanas - Reading

My girlfriend and I came for a bottomless brunch and we couldn’t have had better service!

Kaycee was amazing, so friendly and just made our experience so much more comfortable.

If you’re ever thinking about a bottomless brunch here I highly recommend it.

Treatz Desserts Reading

Nice sport for late night hanging with friends or family for coffee and sweet in a cold nights. Coffee was fine and desert is great. Adnan was a wonderful in attending my family requests

Madras Flavours Pure Indian Vegetarian Restaurant

This vegetarian restaurant exceeded my expectations! The flavors are vibrant and perfectly balanced, making every dish a delight. The ambience is warm and inviting, with cozy lighting and tasteful decor. It’s the ideal spot for a relaxing meal with friends or family. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!

Vegivores

It was a treat to lunch leisurely and splendidly at Vegivores yesterday. Each of our two courses were both deliciously created and beautifully presented. Very kindly, we were delivered an additional bowl of their scrumptious ice cream to atone for the slight mis-coordination on the delivery of their more-ish puddings. It was an unnecessary but thoughtful gesture and we managed to do it justice - just!
It is a visceral pleasure to find such a capable and welcoming bistro that is coincidentally wholly Vegan. We thoroughly enjoyed our first meal at Vegivores and shall be returning to sample the rest of the menu once I’ve atoned for my luscious lunch! If only there was a branch nearer to home…

Dietary restrictions: Completely Vegan menu with nut and wheat allergen information and options.

Chopstix

Best Chopstix I’ve been to and the chicken balls kinda remind me of the popcorn chicken from KFC. The only thing I didn’t like was when one of the staff members came over to my table and shoved the qr code thingy in my face and pressured me to write a review while I was still eating

Oakford Social Club

I recently visited Oakford Social Club and had an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The decor has a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort, making it a great place to relax and unwind.

What really stood out to me was the incredible staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Our servers, Georgia , Ben , flo, herminonie and Pete went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening, offering excellent recommendations and making sure our drinks were always topped up.

The food was delicious, with a great variety of options to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for classic pub fare or something a bit more adventurous, there's something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed their whiskey selection, which perfectly complemented the meal. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, their Pepsi was refreshingly crisp.

Overall, Oakford Social Club is a gem in our community in Reading. The combination of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding staff makes it a must-visit. I can't wait to go back and enjoy another wonderful evening there !

Flavour of Mauritius

Absolutely loved this restaurant, staff so friendly, the food was fantastic especially the Gateau Bringel and the Rougaille piment - great place for vegetarian and vegan food. Fun island atmosphere inside and of course the fantastic Rum list! Would definitely go again if we come back to Reading.

Vegetarian options: Lots of options in starters and mains, protein is beans and lentils, it was hard to choose because there was such a wide choice of good looking dishes.

Dietary restrictions: Great for non dairy too.

KYANEEZ

I discovered this place almost by accident as I was looking for somewhere to spend a penny whilst my car was charging at the nearby Tesla Supercharger. The seating area and toilet were spotless and high-end. The staff friendly and helpful, and on subsequent return visits when I've been parked outside, they bring your order out to your car. The best bit, the food is both plentiful portions, very reasonably priced and above all extremely tasty. This has become my go-to kebab shop in Reading.

Highly recommended! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Griffin

We came in for the Sunday roast (roast pork and mushroom wellington), was an good portion, loved the wellington and good value for money but the sides weren't to the same standard, oiley and unappetising.

Had mostly standard beers, but I enjoyed the local ale from renegade brewery.

Inside is rustic and quaint like you'd expect for pub and Seyna and the other chap who brought us the food were lovely and attentive

The Avenue Deli

We absolutely LOVE coming here! Staff are always so so friendly and quickly remember your face! Food has always been brilliant, high quality ingredients, very tasty and really good value! Always looks very appealing too and just like the pictures! Such a welcoming atmosphere! Even on a busy weekend food service is still really efficient! 10/10 recommend!

Harvester Mansion House Reading

Staff seem very disinterested. Using their phones mostly, most of the things are out of stock which limits you from trying most of the items from the menu. A couple of staff smoking outside while people are still waiting for their food.

Slug & Lettuce - Friar Street Reading

Loved the evening, went for the bottomless brunch ! Great drinks the service also amazing and prompt took care of us really well, Georgia was absolutely amazing. The food was a bit mid a bit disappointed with what came but I can’t complain bout anything else ?

Bakery House

Bakery House is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Lebanese and Arabic cuisine! We tried the grilled chicken, falafel, hummus, and chicken shawarma, and every dish was bursting with flavor. The grilled chicken was the standout—perfectly seasoned, tender, and incredibly flavorful. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the hummus was incredibly smooth and rich. The chicken shawarma was also fantastic, packed with spices and served in warm, fresh pita bread. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious Middle Eastern food!

The Cunning Man

Despite being packed out with customers both inside and outside on Mothers Day, the service and the quality of the food was first class. Absolutely delicious Lamb Rump served with wonderful roasted veg and a Yorkshire pudding any cook would be proud of. The fruit crumble to follow was soooo good. Thank you Cunning Man, I had a meal to remember and I am very happy to recommend you highly.

Coconut Bar & Kitchen

One of the restaurants I go to in Reading all the time. The overall food is delicious, the environment is great, and the service is great.
His pork belly bite is delicious?

Bella Italia - Reading Oracle

Who visited for my daughter's 12th birthday party for big group of her friends. From the moment we were alive, we were greeted by the store manager and were looked after very well by the manager and Rhys. We were able to bring our own cake which they surprised my daughter with carrying out from the kitchen.

Istanbul Grill

I was just in and the service was so beautiful. The staff were friendly and we had a little chat while they were taking my order. I took a long time to decide, I am like that, and they were patient when some others have made me feel rushed into ordering what I don’t want. And… the portion was so large, I had to ask for a bag to takeaway. The kebab is so good and the chips are the just perfectly fried. Crispy outside and soft inside.

Miller & Carter Oracle

Fantastic service from Carrie. We were well looked after from the moment we arrived. Food was exquisite, perfectly cooked and came in reasonable time. Great atmosphere and we were pleasantly surprised at the bill when it came, it wasn’t as expensive as we were expecting.

Chilis Indian Restaurant

The food and service was lovely. All the service staff were really kind and gave us great recommendations. The atmosphere was very calm and the decor was beautiful. I had a great time - highly recommend!

Butt Inn

Friday evening as a rendezvous with old friends at a half way house could not have been more enjoyable. Food, drink and especially the service were excellent. We will have to find an excuse for Sunday Lunch and then a Lunchtime for their snacks. *****

The Elm Tree

We had a lovely lunch overlooking the rolling countryside. The girls there, couldn't do enough for us. I was a bit miserable and didn't tip. If you visit, please tip double for me.

O'Neill's

So I visited Oneils and was greeted by a member of staff, Adam. Great customer service, very helpful. I went in for a snack and drink with a mate and to watch the footie. Adam was the perfect host, thank you

Côte Reading

Met my son and his family here as a halfway point. Food and service were both very good. Clean glasses and sparkling cutlery. Food was good value for money.
Nearby parking. Clean toilets. Disabled access to the ground floor part of the restaurant. Bill was £140 for 4 adults and 1 child including drinks and service charge.

The Plough

The Plough is a local pub with a nice atmosphere when we went. Quite a traditional pub with no airs and graces. We went as we saw an ad outside the pub saying open mic night every Sunday night. Although it said from 8pm it was nearer 9pm when the music started playing. We asked if they did food but they don't, but we were told we could bring something in, which we did

Grosvenor Casino

What a superb customer experience...

This venue is surely a jewel in the Grosvenor crown... Check out the photos for an incite of how lush and colourful this casino is... I love the new member free roulette to win a mystery prize... From a free meal / drink to a £50 free lucky number spin on the paid roulette table.

Many unique items here like the vending machine that allows you to buy perfumes, rare Pokémon cards and even gold / silver bars ?

This place is stunning and immaculately clean... Dean was excellent host during my visit however all the staff here are so friendly and welcoming and even has a mega tv in the bar for those big Sporting events.

The showbar has a stage areas and holds regular live music / comedy acts...

To much to list all gaming facilities but

Poker, roulette, black Jack, 3 card poker, 3 card whist, U.T.H and all the usual electronic machines

Shell

Costa Coffee

The staff here are so nice and friendly - after getting my drink, I went back a asked if I could get a bit more chocolate powder for it, and they insisted on remaking it for me, really lovely of them! :)

Shell

Friendly staff, a lot of produce for sale from hygiene products to flowers. Air compressor available, plenty of parking as it’s the largest station before hitting the A33 leading to the M4.

Shell

The Staff here are, friendly, polite and always helpful. I've been using the shop daily for the past 14 months. Dhiren, does a very good job he's always welcoming and willing to help. The only inconvenience, has been during delivery times, when the till resets. Other than that, it's always a pleasure to use the services provided. The five stars are for all of the staff.

bp

Girteka. There is no snap!!! Cost up to 24 hours - 31 pounds, pay at the checkout in the store of the shopping center, the store is on the right from the entrance.

The Bell Inn

Just home from a first visit It was outstanding The food, the staff and the customers Got chatting with lovely people sitting next to us Can’t praise it highly enough Already booked in for next time Thank you to all the staff, especially Shelby x

The Good Brothers

Went in with my wife and dog for Breakfast yesterday morning. Food was delicious and very plentiful. It was all freshly cooked. The setting was warm and friendly and the service fantastic. All the staff were welcoming and thanks go to Nev for giving us such a positive experience. We’ll definitely be back

The Green Man

Delicous , authentic Lebanese meze. Visited with a Lebanese friend and he was very impressed with the food. Chef and landlady were so friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely few hours in the garden drinking gin with lovely food - what more could you ask for?!

Cottage Inn

Went here for a lunch with family and friends. 11 of us in total so we pre-ordered and everything was great. Food all served together, piping hot and served with a smile. The added bonus was a car show going on which kept the fellas happy. Highly recommend.

The Alehouse

A broad and ever-changing selection of real ales. Mobile phones are banned and conversation is welcomed. Sit outside and watch the world go by, or inside for a chat, or a booth at the back for a tryst.
No food served except basic bar snacks.

The Greyfriar

Cosy little pub in the centre of town. Great to pop in before a train or with a group of friends. Constantly changing lines and friendly staff - definitely recommend!

The Royal Oak

What a fabulous local pub, it was not on our planned list, but glad that we headed here after our morning walk. We had a lovely meal, that was hot, plentiful and so worth the money. A great choice of drinks and a super big car park. Would definitely be coming back.

Park House

We had our wedding reception at the Meadow Suite in Park House and it was great. Staff were lovely, always 3 of them on the bar, so little or no wait time, and the venue was fantastic. Very happy with it all.

We didn't have any catering/food so can't comment on that.

Bull Inn

We read about this online and the history of the area. The garden is huge and we can imagine that in the summer it is a huge sun trap!! We only had soft drinks and a bowl of chips but service was friendly and the pub was nice! Great location if you are walking in the local area too!!

The Six Bells

The place has been under new ownership recently (September 2024), my wife and I had a meal there saturday night. It was a really nice atmosphere with some people dining, some in for drinks and others working on their laptops. The main menu is fish based so we have hake and sea bass, but there are 3 boards that go with it very nicely (cheese, meats and bruschetta). All reasonably priced, would definately recommend.

The Prince

Great veiw landlady is fantastic bar staff are the same has a old school feeling. Great selection of drinks all aspects of social development in order, highly recommended.

Sweeney & Todd

Consistently serves AMAZING pies and food. So lovely too, called up about dietary restrictions (dairy free) and was able to accommodate. Wish they had dairy free custard or ice cream to go with their dessert. But I’m just so happy I got to try the pies. If you’re in Reading, go here!

Dietary restrictions: If you are allergic to dairy as I am, call ahead and they can put a pie on the side for you without the milk glaze!

Fidget & Bob

The sandwiches were nice after adding a lot of souce to them:)))) honestly it looks better than it taste but it doesn’t taste bad at all. The portions are a bit small.

Quattro Italian Restaurant

Lovely dinner for two at the Quattro Italian restaurant.
Warmly recommend their bufalo mozzarella starter and fungi tagliatelle pasta. Delicious!

The only thing I was missing was a candle on the tables. ;)

Parking at the back of the restaurant.

Parking: £1 for parking at the back of the restaurant. Very convenient and easy.

House of Flavours

One of the best Indian restaurants in Reading. The service is really great especially Blyton is amazing and really knows how to take care of each customer needs.

Zizzi - Reading Oracle

Fabulous experience. Son said it is very fancy and liked being called “sir”. 10/10.

Kid-friendliness: The staff were very accommodating to the kids (2 and 6), drinks in plastic cups, spoke to them rather than ignoring them, called child “sir” which he loved!

Honest Burgers Reading

It's a pretty decent burger place, situated in an old bank, right in the town centre, next to Jackson's Corner.

Obviously most notable for the burgers, I've tried several of the most popular- type burgers, the cooked breakfast and the recently introduced smashed burgers, all of which were decent and the prices were reasonable. Some interesting offerings regarding drinks- I loved the mint lemonade.

Service is always good, friendly and attentive. Place is designed in a modern canteen style and gets quite lively when it's busy.

Pretty good for what it is. If you fancy a good quality burger it definitely delivers.

Only thing- please offer an alternative to the rosemary seasoning on the fries- not all of us like it!

Thai Corner

Central but away from the bustle Thai restaurant with quick, friendly service. The noodles were reasonable but not outstanding and my Kwaitie Kee Mow Tofu could have been more spicy. I was surprised there were no vegetarian red/green curry shown on the standard menu though there was a vegetarian section at the end. Less than £20 each for a meal and drink with the service charge.

You Me Sushi

Super quick good value. Poke bowl was tasty but not the best I’ve ever had, could have done with some more sauce as was a bit dry in places.

But overall good value and very fresh. £10 meal deal too!

Puree

Supporting local businesses helps to keep the high street alive and it’s easy to do when there are food places like this with fresh ingredients and fantastic flavours. Highly recommend!

Papa Gee

We went for dinner with friends. The food was amazing , and the service great .the only think i didn't like it was so busy and only one server, he needed help .but lovely place to eat .

wagamama reading

One of the best branches of this consistently good Asian food giant. Mainly because the food is always superb. Service is freindly if a little cold at times. Location is great. Recommended.

Uptown

I have been coming here for a few weeks now and I must say they don’t disappoint. Fresh and tasty every time. For the price and quality you are getting it’s amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.

Curry Chef

Ordered takeaway, arrived at least 10 minutes early, by very friendly and courteous young man. Food packed carefully in small plastic carrier, all tops secure and no leakages. Pilau rice, chicken pasanda, sag aloo, popodoms and dips, all piping hot. The portions were generous, and easily enough for two. The food was delicious, lots of large pieces of chicken in the pasanda, and the sauce was thick and creamy. Lots of spinach in the sag and the rice was colourful and not stodgy. Poppodoms were thin but still whole and not broken. Definitely one of the better takeaways I have had. Only one shortcoming , is I received a text to tell me there is 10% off if ordering online. May have been my oversight but I couldn’t work out where you put that in when ordering. Will order from here again and would recommend to anyone wanting a good Indian takeaway!

Comptoir Libanais

Friendly staff and hard work in everything they do.
A relaxed and amazing atmosphere for everyone.
Great food at a great price, would recommend if you want something new and exciting.Swift booking process, great ambiance, tasty food and excellent service. Special thanks to Martyna for taking good care.

Taste of Tandoori

Only just found out that it's a brand new refurbished curry house.

Came in today (Sunday) for the buffet and have to say it's the best I've had in Reading. I'm very particular on my curry house choice!

Lovely, clean, comfortable restraunt.
Friendly smiling staff.
Fresh nan bought to table, tender lamb curry is a must.

Parking: Plenty of spaces out in front of the shops

Bella Pizza & Kebab House

This place is fantastic. The main thing I buy here is pizza and it's always top quality. Fresh ingredients, cooked very well, and the customer service is excellent. The prices are very reasonable and they do a good delivery service too. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Bill's Reading Restaurant

Good food. Best banoffee sundae!!! The bourbon bbq burger has a little pipette to add your own bourbon...which is great if you don't actually want to add it and just want to bbq burger. Only complaint...is the coffee was not hot, but that could just be my personal preference for liking hot coffee. We've been for brunch before too...and will go back again.

Turkish Grill

Amazing takeout experience at Turkish Grill! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend grabbing some of their authentic Turkish dishes for your next meal!

Burger King

Last week i went to Burger king all staffs were friendly .Nice food quick service and restaurant was neat and clean .. I would like to thanks Prakiti for her wonderful hospitality and respect to cutomers .. Thank you ??

Eastern Choice

Since this takeaway has been taken over by a new family, the menu and quality of food served has had a complete revamp for the better. A variety of Chinese food offered, fish n chips, noodles, sea food and so on. Prices are reasonable and the portions are are plenty. Food is served freshly and in a timely fashion. Plenty of free parking outside on the roadside and accessible for all.

Café YOLK

The best breakfast & brunch in the town. We were there already theee times, we had pancakes, traditonal english breakfast, breakfast burger and everything was delicious! They have recently finished extension, so the seating capacity has been increased. Due to their popularity during the weekend is really busy there, please be aware you would need to wait to get a table.

Bodrum Kebab Van

These lads are really great and friendly we dropped a wallet getting out of the car they held on to it till we returned 2hrs later,it's really nice to know there are still lovely people in this World ? ?

Best Kebab House

Always go here and get the beef burger with their own homemade chilli In it always touches the spot I've tried the donner once was average tbh so I stick to the burger

Friends Coffee House

Basically I start my day with the coffee and I prefer AMT among other cafe.I love the salted caramel and how they make it make a difference.Staff are very friendly and with this new scheme of “bring your own cup”made a huge difference on price also for the environment.I am glad how you guys treat us with NHS discount as well.Overall I am very satisfy with the service

PAYA Cuisine (Reading)

Very good food, amazing taste and was still warm when arrived. Only issue was it was a little late however as it’s Chinese new year I’ll let them off as it must be super busy for them!Thanks, will order again!

READING GRILL

Normally use another kebab house but thought we would give these guys ago and have to say 10/10 the food arrived in very quick time, was all piping hot, and cooked perfectly. I eat a lot of kebabs from all around the area and this was up there with the best. (Also lovely surprise that the kebabs come with fresh naan) will definitely order again!!

KFC Reading - Forbury Retail Park

Food was very fresh and hot
Amazing service
Amazing staff
Well organised and clean sitting area
Everything was very perfect
Best kfc in the Reading
Very friendly Great quick Service

McDonald's

Not many vegetarian options to look out for. Not even spicy. Doesn't like the veg deluxe. Could be good for non vegetarian but hard pass to vegetarian. Even more, the worst fries I ever had. A big no no to fries. I ate fries at Herbie's Pizza, mouthwatering, delicious. Moreover, McDonald's latte is good and frappe is also great.

Vegetarian options: Can try but in my opinion not good for veg people.

KFC Reading Gate Retail Park

Delicious food, staff is so Coperative,we ate a crispy, delicious zinger or other food in a clean restaurant. I never forgot the cleaning of this restaurant so stunning, lighting everything.

KFC Reading - Oxford Road

The food was very fresh and hot and service was very quick and fast store looked well clean and organised.

Parking: Parking area was very clean and spacious

Tasty Greek Souvlaki

This is a very casual and friendly place to stop in for a delicious Greek quick meal. They have coffee too, but more importantly Greek beer (both Fix and Alpha, as well as Mythos). Been here twice, and each time it was staffed by ladies who are excellent at running the place (including the grill). Highly recommended in Reading. Pork souvlaki sticks alone are worth a visit.

Banh Mi QB

I reserved a table for my birthday party.
my friends came from different backgrounds. All of us was happy with the food . Staff was friendly and patient to explain about the food to my friends. such a lovely place. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The French Horn

Absolutely phenomenal!
We discovered the hotel by accident when we needed a room at last minute, only then did we discover it has a Michelin star restaurant.

Our first surprise was the fact that the included breakfast is room service by default. This alongside how lovely the rooms are really made the stay unforgettable.

We came back 2 months later for my partner's birthday meal and we're blown away, the food was fantastic, and the service could not be better!

We will be returning in the future, and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience!

Rooms: If you want a room with a view, the french horn is the place for you! Sonning is a stunning area and the hotel and surrounding area is just beautiful.

Walkability: If you like a hike, it's a must visit, the surrounding area is perfect and quiet, brilliant for a short walk or long hike.

Food and drinks: Absolute perfection, nothing more to add.

Noteworthy details: Everything was perfect, the staff even remembered us from a previous stay, and made sure that everything was exactly as we wanted.

MOMO 2 GO

One of my favourite little restaurants in Reading. I love the Aloo Nimki. Today's was a lot hotter than usual, and had me sweating up a storm, but I couldn't stop eating it. Always enjoy the Lamb and veg momos too, although all of them are delicious. The staff are always really friendly too. Go on, treat yourself to some dumplings.

Perry's

Delicious food, I had Oxtail with rice and pea. Lots and lots on the menu that looked amazing. Will be back when I'm next back with work. Thanks for the lovely food and the full belly

Guru Tandoori

Fantastic and extremely tasty. My first time using them and I shall certainly be going back every time I want a delicious curry! The naga lamb wasn't as hot as other naga curries I've had, but the flavour more than makes up for that. You can really taste the fruitiness of the naga chillies without it blowing your head off - I do like it hot. I'll try their phall and jalfrezi next and see how hot they are. Delivery was fast, even though I'd been given an adjusted delivery time, they still arrived well before the initial delivery time I was given. The text sent to let me know they were on the way was an unexpected surprise, and the delivery driver was very friendly.

Starbucks Coffee

What can I say? It's a coffee shop! This one, though, has plenty of natural light coming in. Coffee's always good. Can't comment on the food as I didn't have any.

Earley Cafe

It was my first visit to this cafe. I was happy to see the Food Hygiene Rating of 5 on the door, which is dated Sept 2024. I was greeted by a friendly staff member with a smile and it made me feel very welcome.

I ordered a Create Your Own Breakfast. I chose my 5 items from a good selection of items on their menu board. The lady then mentioned that it comes with a Tea or Coffee. As I don’t drink either Tea or Coffee, I asked whether I could have a Hot Chocolate instead. I was surprised to be told that I would have to pay £2.75 extra in full for a regular cup of Hot Chocolate, rather than the difference between the cost of a Tea/Coffee (£1.50) and the Hot Chocolate (£2.75), of which the difference would have been £1.25. (Which is what I am used to at other cafes I have visited).

As I felt that this was unfair and I wasn’t prepared to pay the £2.75 in full, I had my breakfast without a drink, which again wasn’t what I would have wanted, as I would have really appreciated a drink accompanyjng my Full English Breakfast.

I personally would have expected to pay an extra £1.00 or £1.50 maximum for the UPGRADE from a Tea/Coffee and the Hot Chocolate, as that would have been a better option as that is what other cafes in my local area would have done.

After my meal, she gave me a QR code to leave a review, so as it was my first visit and I visit Reading regularly, I thought I should be honest and leave a constructive review. I hope that they take this minor issue on board for my next visit.

Ultimately, I would be happy to eat here again as the food and service was great and it seems quite a popular place. 4 out of 5 from me, it would have been 5 out of 5, if it wasn’t for the pricing issue on the upgrade to the hot chocolate.

All the best to the staff here and see you again soon! ?

Parking: On road pay and display and permit holders only bays.

The Nag's Head

Bit wary at 1st, seemed like a "local pub for local people" at 1st glance but I was drawn by the beer listing. How wrong was i, looks like typical boozer but just sells incredible beer, well kept and good prices. Had a great night and enjoyed every last pint.

The Palmer Tavern

The pizza i had was really good however the bartender was really good and created some good conversation which made me feel very welcome, I think her name was Amy. Will definitely go again.

Water Tower

First time going to the water tower first impression was good nice friendly staff good options of drinks we found a nice quiet corner at the back looked menu lots to choose from my wife had the cheesy stack burger when she loved it was massive with fries onion rings
I had the XL mixed grill with sweetcorn as a side order it came with chicken pork sausage and a big bit of steak chips tomato,s and a BBQ sauce all nice and hot the only thing that was disappointing was the sweetcorn it tasted a bit strange on my first bite so didn't eat that table was clean music was great as it was a Halloween thing for the kids who were dancing to chippy music my with joined in with the kids dancing over all we would definitely be going again as we very much enjoyed our visit

Wheelchair accessibility: It on a flat entrance

Wee Waif

Another great Friday night with the lads, staff are always happy and friendly. Atmosphere in this pub beats any other pub in the area. Food always amazing would highly recommend.

Tortilla Reading

Izzy.A welcomed me into the restaurant, I felt so comfortable and happy talking to her. She had lovely hair and was such a pleasure to talk to and i definitely will be coming back and bring family+ friends. Thank you Izzy, you made my day!

Kimel Cafe

Lovely café. Food and coffee are excellent. They do toasties, jackets and a great selection of cakes - try the chocolate and almond slices. Room for about a dozen inside on 5 or 6 tables and more tables outside. It's tucked away on a quiet street so quite a find.

Toby Carvery Lower Earley

Went for breakfast, and I had an email sent with an offer for breakfast. You think you're getting a good deal, but drinks are expensive. I paid £25 for 5 drinks, being 3 cups of tea and 2 Pepsi max's. Seems a bit steep to me.

Geo Cafe

Imagine a London patisserie that does groceries, that's GeoCafé.
Excellent quality groceries, coffee and pastries here. The desserts are fantastic.
Pandemic forced many shops to shut down but Geo-cafe instead kept open, opened anotherbranchin Henley successful & made the extraordinary transition from successful café to successful grocer/patisserie.
A remarkable achievement without dropping it's high standards.

Wolseley Street Bakery

Wolesley has been my go to place for cakes and treats since pre-Rona. From turning out lush carbs from his house, to the new site the quality is fantastic, well priced, and delicious! They turned around an epic halloween birthday cake at short notice last week that looked and tasted amazing!

The bite cafe

I'm from Brazil, I had the pleasure of discovering this cafe. Everything was very good, from the meals to the atmosphere and service. Every time I'm walking around here, I'll definitely come back to this cafe.

Istanbul Mangal

First time visiting this place today & had a doner wrap with chips & a Sprite - it was very nice. Thank you guys so much ! Will definitely be recommending.

Fox and Hounds

Really good real ale pub. Best one in Caversham IMHO after the demise of the Prince of Wales. Love Love Love the F&H - ever changing selection of memorable beers - some stay with you. Also try the Foxy Fries before you die ?

Seven Red Roses

Our best local pub , been there multiple times.. best service and good food .. WiFi wasn’t great when I tried for work few weeks back.. good for matches with large tvs and free parking.. staff are always pleasing…

Hong Kong City

Best Chinese takeaway by far in Reading area. Asked extra spicy for our dishes. Amazing taste, ordered Singapore fried rice, Singapore vermicelli, Szechuan chicken and black bean sauce king Prawns.
Our new favourite takeaway place?.
