Bar pub in Reading

“Had a lovely stay at this hotel for my week off! The place is modern, but not in a sad way, which I found to be nice. I was quite nervous around the pool as I am still a very new swimmer, but Becca, who was working at the time, was really helpful and reassuring! Overall a great time.”

“Value is the key here. Meals aim for burgers and pizzas, but other choices are there. Steak Tuesday has been abandoned, a pity, but meat was not always that tender. If you love real ale this is staggeringly good value, and cask ales change regularly. Roughly 10 are available, 6 regulars and 4 are replaced every 3 days or so. Tasting notes always available. Beer prices under half that elsewhere. Not a lager man but plenty there for them who are. Clientele can be a bit dubious at times, but value wins. Small breakfast with unlimited coffee for less than £4 is a good example.”

“We spent the weekend at the Coppid Beech hotel, and couldn't fault the rooms, or service. We had a king room. The kids loved the jacuzzi bath. We chose the hotel due to the location with Lapland UK a 15 minute drive from the hotel. On the morning we were to check out, we planned to go to the coral reef swimming pool and the hotel gave us a complimentary extra hour on the check out time. Service was faultless!”

“Just had another fabulous meal here we are loving this more than our usual place!”

“Super helpful staff. I tried to book bowling for my son and his friends very last minute, as part of his birthday fun. The website was playing up and not allowing me to book. I tried to call, the line was always busy so I resorted to an email contact. Well, I received a response within minutes and then had someone call me. I was able to book a lane quickly and the staff were very helpful, friendly and responsive. Thank you.”

“Did a group food cooking class for 6 people with Pet. Had a fantastic time. The food we made (vegan red Thai curry) was delicious and Pet did a fantastic job explaining how to cook everything well and to each person's individual tastes. The mocktails we had were delicious. I would definitely consider doing another class for a different dish again.”

“Staff seamed very happy, attentive, polite and friendly. Really makes a difference. Food good and really hot too. I was a little bit disappointed with the seasonal vegetables being just lots of peas with a little bit of carrot but the peas where really nice and sweet!”

“Shoutout to Aaron the manager who goes above and beyond and is an asset the Greene King. This is a very friendly pub, with a convenient car park and plentiful menu. Their portions are great, you won’t be hungry after! Very dog friendly too with a special doggy treats area. Nice selection of alcohol free drinks too. A proper pub.”

“Wonderful place in Sunningdale Park, Surrey. A new gated community with an amazing silver service restaurant. Less expensive than some local pubs. Great place to celebrate a special occasion.”

“Nice local pub, the landlord was very friendly and helpful”

“The most delicious dining experience and such warm and friendly staff! Fantastically generous with their servings. We had the seafood linguine and were pleasantly surprised how much seafood it comes with! Tasty and inviting - we will be back soon!”

“Diane and her team of lovely people are so very caring, they make us all feel comfortable and at ease x we'll done x”

“Lovely pub nestled in the village of Woodcote. The food is delicious and great value including kids meals. The service behind the bar and by our waitress was spot on. Great pint of Guinness - good lines sir. Locals have an oaky beaut here. I travelled from Reading and if you do the same i recommend going through Pangbourne and Whitchurch Hill - proper Berkshire/Oxfordshire country drive. Great British pub!”

“Great bar staff molly is the best craig is a great landlord julie is cool”

“I like it staff vary good with service the Pub is welcoming for people with mild learning disabilities and sensory disorder l loved it l was in your pub with my uncle Paul From Captain Casper Jake Simpson 2nd From city of Plymouth Devon”

“Amazing pub with great staff, friendly atmosphere, great drink prices, pool table, and beautiful garden. Would def recommend!”

“I was so excited to attend the open evening today! They did a voucher for a free plate of food and free drink with live music outside! The food was delicious! The rib meat really fell off the bone! The pulled pork was so succulent! The salad was nice and crisp and the fries were perfectly seasoned. They really have got it right! I can't wait to visit properly!”

“I've read alot of miserable reviews of the hotel being a little rundown which is true. But i paid £75 to stay in the Grange which I thought it was very good value for a quiet and comfortable room. This included a very decent breakfast. And the grounds are really very nice. Great walks.”

“Perfect Stay for Business Travelers I had a fantastic three-night stay while on a business trip. Valentina and Miranda were outstanding—friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The rest of the team were great too, making everything smooth and stress-free. The freshly cooked breakfast was a real highlight, far better than the usual buffet. My room was spotless, quiet, and comfortable, with excellent Wi-Fi that made working easy. Highly recommend for anyone traveling for work!”

“The Travellers Rest is a hidden gem that combines a cosy, welcoming atmosphere with great value for money. Whether you're after a quick drink or a hearty meal, this place delivers on all fronts. The drinks are reasonably priced, with a good range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The food came out quickly, but still tasted fresh and well-prepared — a pleasant surprise, as "fast pub food" doesn't always have the best reputation. Not here though — no upset stomachs, just genuinely enjoyable meals. I had a generous portion of crispy chicken, which was perfectly cooked. My partner ordered the Caesar salad and said it was one of the best she’s had. The overall portion sizes were more than satisfying. The atmosphere was relaxed, with background music at a comfortable volume, making it easy to enjoy a conversation. The location is easy to get to, and there’s plenty of parking available, which is a big plus. All in all, The Travellers Rest is a great spot for casual dining and drinks. We'll definitely be returning.”

“Great pub, staff are welcoming and friendly! Food is amazing, overall a 10/10”

“Came in today with my family for dinner, we had amazing experience, our food came out very quickly, staff were very efficient; Charley, Shannon and Ellie were on the bar massive thank you to them for looking after us ❤️ Compliments to the chefs Anna & Corey- we asked for their names at the bar- very fast with the orders and met our dietary requirements so thank you again! We will definitely be back!”

“What can I say, it’s a Spoons, great prices for drinks, Doombar was £2.25 or something like that, service was good and swift. It’s a popular place at the top of town, pretty busy with young and old, busied up in the early evening, we dropped in at 4 and then again at 6 on the way to another venue. A lot of glasses ready to go lol as you can see in the pictures!”

“Enjoyed the food on world pasta day.. can’t ask for more.. staff was great, food was delish.. thanks Bella Italia..”

“My wife had an operation scheduled at Basingstoke Hospital on 15th Jan - was a major op re cancer diagnosis and went on for 5 hours. We stayed at the hospital for 2 weeks in total. While she was in surgery, i went for a walk in the countryside to take my mind off events - after an hour or so of walking, i ended up at the Swan (i had looked it up before starting walk!). I was warmly welcomed by the staff there, who were really helpful as well as accommodating ( they helped me with where to find a local village shop and post office) While there, i noticed a promotion on the website regarding AllTrails where you used their app for a local walk and ended up at the pub for a free breakfast. So, on the Friday morning, i completed another long walk, helped by All trails, and arrived at the Swan for 9am. I had a lovely breakfast, eggs Benedict, presented beautifully and really tasty - and although tempting, resisted having a pint with it… 9am just too early! I came back the following week for a sandwich at lunchtime - again, lovely food, well presented and tasty! Thank you to the Swan - i would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a warm welcome, great food and a well deserved drink - whether you’ve had a long walk in the country or just driven there. Will definitely be back.”

“Great food and great pub .Staff friendly polite and helpful.”

“Great guys, always a superb night”
