Bar pub in Reading

“If your looking for great pub grub in Reading this is the place to go. The Asian food is the highlight of the menu. We tried the crispy chilli beef which was delicious. My short rib green curry was the best Thai curry I've had. Will definitely be going back to try the other dishes.”

“Lovely country pub with a twist. Superb Thai food served here along with some traditional dishes as well. Friendly and very helpful staff and choice of indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the outdoor seating is also covered. Dog friendly outside and just a lovely country pub with lovely surroundings.”

“Lovely pub, with great owners. Parked my motorhome for free and bought a few pints + pizza, had a lovely time before I went back to the van to sleep. They have so many events on it's great to see, wish it was in my home town. Only one niggly thing - the access road is difficult for a large van, especially to get out, and walking my dog down there was a nightmare as people fly down it - assume it's a bit of a cut through for elsewhere? Not their fault, we will be back.”

“I hired the Outlook for a birthday party and cannot recommend it enough! It's a great space and the Shuffle Board and Dart Board are all in the hire price. The booking process was easy and there is great communication both verbally and via email. Nothing was too much trouble and each member of staff I communicated with were always friendly, helpful and totally professional, such a great bunch of people! I also hired Mock Vegas and they had very easy communication with he Outlook too. Definitely aten out of ten! Thank you Outlook for making everything so easy!”

“Nice local pub with good beers.”

“Amazing good and atmosphere! Best burger I've had in a long time! Close to the concert hall!”

“Ordered my food and mentioned once that I have dietary restrictions. Ordered and sat down with my drink. A few moments later the bartender came to my table to verify what if ordered and made sure everything was correct. I'm impressed by that level of service. When the food came out it looked good and tasted even better. The interior is comfortable. While I was there it wasn't very busy. Overall it was a great experience and I'll be going back. Note: online it's says they have darts which they don't.”

“As a Tilehurst resident, there are a selection of local pubs to choose from, all within walking distance. But the Fox & Hounds is the one for me! A proper pub that is frequented by those that are regular attendees and also those that stop by to enjoy its offerings of drink or food, including a choice of real ales. They are working hard at renovating the great beer garden and I am looking forward to the summer and enjoying it in all it’s its glory. Whatever day you visit, you will be welcomed. And every day is different! So watch their social media pages for ongoing events or pop in and discover for yourself. For example, Monday is Free Food night when purchasing a beer or medium wine, so we enjoyed a couple of drinks with yummy jacket potatoes. What is not to love?!”

“Have really started enjoying the company, mostly friendly staff and a great bar manager whose lovely”

“Bobby had a great service really made the night special and made sure we all had a great time. Would 100% reccomend this pub for family and friends to have an amazing evening. Bobby was inspirational and really represented how all bar staff should treat customers.”

“We had a lovely visit to this restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The seabass was fresh and delicious, and the Sunday roast was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The setting is absolutely beautiful – a charming building with a stunning garden in a peaceful location by the river. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. It’s also a dog-friendly place, which we really appreciated. Free parking is another great bonus. Highly recommended for a relaxing meal in a lovely setting!”

“A group of 7 of us (and dog!) had a lovely Sunday roast today. I prebooked a table which was ready and waiting for us. We were well looked after by Hayley, Emily, Olivia, Pat & Izzy who ran a very efficient tag team and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and the space we left for pudding was well rewarded!”

“Went in for lunch with a friend and was not disappointed. Lovely pub with friendly staff and management. Even though it was fairly busy the service was quick and our food was excellent. My friend had pie with mashed potatoes which looked delicious while I had a selection of small plates which I thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely return.”

“A cozy, quirky pub, with so much character. Loved popping in here for a drink. A great atmosphere, friendly service. Plenty of selection and good prices. Only advice...watch your head on the beams!!! Duck, duck, duck!! I have a recomendation after witnessing a customer hit his head badly on the beam near the bar. I am sat in another pub right now and in the picture attached they have cushioned the risky beam. May e an idea for "The Old Bell". As the sign is not visible enough to customers.”

“Nineteen years ago, we held our wedding reception here, so returned on our anniversary for the night. The Inn has been updated sympathetically, and really enhanced. The room was quirky and well appointed, and the staff couldn't have been any better. Utterly friendly and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. Supper was delicious, the chap making the cocktails was a delight, and breakfast was spot-on. We won't be leaving it nineteen years till the next visit.”

“Amazing Saucy Spinach Eggs and Bloody Mary for Sunday Brunch, excellent portion sizes too! Tried a side of french black pudding, that we will defo have again too.”

“After visiting the B&G, Andrei and his wife Alina have been so welcoming every time we have been in. The pub is lovely with their presence and are so attentive. Great service! Thank you.”

“Not eaten here so no comment, but I'd imagine the nosebag is decent. Harvey's Sussex Bitter is the go to beer here and a classic. Budvar too and other decent beers with Amstel, Birra Moretti, Cruzcampo etc for those who drink the label and have to have it on their glass.”

“I regularly take my daughter here because it is such a lovely experiance. We travel here for movies even though there are 2 cinemas in our town. Plenty of parking, all seats are recliners and there are no bad angles.”

“A great little gem in Berkshire. Lovey and attentive staff. Beautiful interior and ait of sitting space. Food is immaculate. Quality ingredients and superbly presented. We ate set menu and it was magnificent. Would recommend to anyone who is around to go and visit.”

“The food and drinks were great, and the staff were so warm and friendly. I unfortunately became unwell during my visit, but the team were absolutely amazing in looking after me. I really appreciated their kindness and care — so sorry again about the mess! Thank you all for being so understanding and wonderful.”

“Great local pub with brilliant staff and scrummy food!”

“They made my wife's 40th Birthday very special. We had a large group (15) with two infants, and 3 children under 12 and they were able to take care of all of us and bring my wife's cake out at the right time. We have eaten there multiple times and always enjoyed the food and I think they remember us because they likely don't have the same American faces come in so often. Fantastic service and food, I highly recommend The Boot.”

“Nice restaurant with lots of menu options. The hot honey rotisserie chicken and ribs were amazing! The meat fell right of the bone and was tender. Acces to the salad bar is also included, which is located near the kitchen (quite ‘far’ depending on where you are seated in the restaurant). It wasn’t so clear to us where to sit for a drink and to have dinner. We thought we were on a table where we could also eat, but apparently we weren’t, so one of the workers made us move tables when we ordered our food.”

“we had a really lovely time, as new parents we don’t venture out much, but chose the warren as we always drive past and it looks inviting. We were seen straight away with lovely servers, and our food was lovely. the atmosphere is very calm and was nice and chilled despite being busy. i want to leave a special shout out to Michael for being so helpful, kind and welcoming during our evening. Really excellent service, and we are excited to return.”

“Had a flyer through my door with great photo's of their Thai food, so I thought I would try them. I thought my Thai Green curry was pretty good but after having one from their menu I was amazed ! it was stunning, so good I went back the following week and then also with the girlfriend and then the following weekend with 2 friends, we were all very very impressed with the superb menu stunning food and great service, give them a try you will not be disappointed.

“We went today for a festive Sunday lunch. The food was excellent? Bottomless sides and fantastic roasts. The staff were attentive and friendly, excellent service. Fantastic lunch, great atmosphere and everything was quick despite it being incredible busy.”

“The food was so tasty. My husband and I had lamb shank, there was so much meat on the bone and we ordered cauliflower cheese as a side, this was V cheesy and there was plenty. Mother in law had the venison stew, she said it was tasty and there was loads. My son had the boar sausage, he ate everything and said it tasted really good. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. We were a bit cold in the snug, but they turned the heating up for us and we soon warmed up. Will definitely go again.”

“It was only our second visit here, but we had a really great experience. The waitress was really pleasant, polite and attentive. Food tasted really good, especially the soufflettes. The atmosphere really pleasant, despite quite busy Friday evening. It a definitely great date night experience.”

“Such a cozy place with lovely music and super friendly staff. The atmosphere is amazing — everyone is so welcoming and attentive. It really feels like home. Definitely deserves 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
